I remember, in university, at the start of a Latin American History class the lecturer walks in with boxes and straight up asks, “SO WHO WANTS TO DO COCAINE?!?”
Then proceeds to take out coca leaf tea bags, offers everyone a cup, and explains how she was intentionally wrong in her statement to highlight a big issue. She explained the Native use of coca leaf, and how they have suffered from people using their sacred herb in concentrated and illicit ways.
She also gave me a box to take home, because I said it helped with my stomach cramps (medical issue), and it really did. No addiction felt either.
With some teachers you can really tell how passionate they are.

I will now dream of getting to do this
I brought a bunch of coca tea bags back from Bolivia with me years ago.
It’s great for altitude sickness.
