I was told it was a herbal remedy some time ago by one of my American friends, well here's the proof, it would seem, found in the founders sister-in-laws book of herbal remedies written in 1853. Daily Telegraph - Food and Drink news. |

LOL! A glorious find!!! And along those lines (so to speak) cocaine must be good for you too. After all, it is an all natural product made from leaves and twigs. |

Truth is stranger than fiction. "A spokesman for the company said: "We know our founder was from Wales - we would love to see the book and the recipe." That would be a nice payday for the family if Jack Daniels go for it. Good luck to them. |

LOL! A glorious find!!! a tea brewed from the leaves of the coca plant is a good herbal remedy against altitude sickness. and the mode of action is quite different if you have an alkaline lysis first - chewing with potash. I'm not the Pope. I don't speak Ex Cathedra! |

Remember at one point in time almost all of the sodas we know today were medicinal tonics. Ginger ale was a real ginger and naturally carbonated spring water healing tonic. Dr. Pepper was a 28 different healing herbs put together. Coca Cola – Coca (the same plant cocaine is made from) is tonic herb that has 19 alkaloids in it. Cola is an African medicinal plant related to Cocao (Chocolate). |

I'm all for herbal remedies. There are too much chemicals in the world already. Everything is made from chemicals - even plants and rocks. BOINC WIKI |

Yes, but will the cops believe you when you say that? And don't forget, root beer was originally fermented yucca root - a known carcinogen today. |

Yes, but will the cops believe you when you say that? The "native herbal remedy" tactic has been tried before -- unsuccessfully. One case was in the courts and newspapers off and on for about a decade. BAC of about .5%. Killed a whole family by driving on the wrong side of the interstate. BOINC WIKI |

And don't forget, root beer was originally fermented yucca root - a known carcinogen today. I always thought it was sassafras root. Did some research and confirmed that. Fermented Yucca root is used to make a drink called Chicha de Yuca which is very similar to Pulque an Aztec hallucinogen. |
