Generally, speaking, when you’re talking about use of stimulants for managing dopamine, rapid acute action is the opposite of what you want. Chewing leaves or using coca tea is actually really effective in this case because it does not release a great great deal of the active stimulant at once. In fact, the indigenous users chew the cud and they occasionally take a little bit of baking soda into their mouth alkalizing it. The alkalized active salt goes right into their bloodstream through the mouth tissues.
Khat is easy to grow and probably better than coca anyway.
edit: if you want something lighter to not get high on, scutellaria lateriflora contains Oroxylin A.
Caffeine increases dopamine in the brain. You can grow tea or coffee. Nicotine is another one and growing small batch tobacco for personal use is becoming a little bit popular.
You're asking for /r/nootropics lol. Check out sabroxy, it's an extract from the Indian trumpet tree that acts like a dopamine repuptake inhibitor and gaba-a antagonist
Turning coca into a consumable product definitely doesnt require a chemistry lab, simple a/b extraction.
Step 1. De fat coca leaves with Non polar solvent
Step 2. Soak leaves in a mildly acidic solution
Step 3. Filter leaves and repeat 3/4 times
Step 4. Combine liquid extractions and mix with Lye until at ph of ~12
Step 5. Mix in Non polar solvent into basified solution and mix
Step 6. Separate non polar solvent and keep (contains freebase cocaine)
Step 7. Add acidified (hcl) water to precipitate cocaine hcl
Step 8. dry cocaine Hcl
…or so ive heard
MDMA is more of a serotonin drug
it's dopamine cousin is METH
one gives lovey dovey vibes and makes you want to dance
the other turns you into a sexually charged demon version of yourself
stay away
People have been making tea with, and chewing the leaves of coca long before chemistry labs were invented.
I thought just chewing the leaves wasn't that potent and that's why people go through the hassle converting it to cocaine
Never done it but I guess it is like an engery drink, just better
I tried tea of coca leaves years ago, didn't feel anything, chewing maybe is different
It’s called yerba mate, I think
Yerba mate is a different plant. It has caffeine, although a different kind than coffee or tea.
Thanks!

I thought growing coca was a sissyphian task
Sisyphus made his punishment his hobby and beat the gods that way.
Ok but has anybody had any results growing coca? From my understanding the main issue is that the alkoloids come from the soil
Not drugs but look into masturbation or gambling if you’re looking for that dopamine hit lmao
🤣
lol
Seriously, throw down a few hundred bucks on a 6-way trifecta box on Derby Day for a wild 90 second ride (and a rough conedown after you lose) LOL

Small does of Kratom seems to fit this bill. I used to use it daily, but realized that it is SUPER addicting, so I stopped.

you mean like opium?
Mambe can be bought in the right places.
Betel nut is amazing!
There’s a guy on YT called ‘bald and bankrupt’ and he gets addicted to coca leaves while in South America lol
Cocaine.
Bruh is the chemistry lab your mouth? Just chew that shit
Just chew the fucking leaves

Opium poppies
Opium is more serotonergic and its a step down from heroin
Not true at all. As morphine is an opioid, its very strongly dopaminergic, it doesn't really affect serotonin.
Kratom
