Coffee just isn't cutting it anymore, apparently.
Coco Loko, a snortable chocolate powder, is a drug-free product that's marketed as providing a buzz that lasts about 30 minutes to an hour—without the side of effects of a sugar crash, according to The Washington Post. The substance is made of cacao powder, as well as gingko biloba, taurine and guarana, ingredients commonly found in energy drinks.
Nick Anderson, the 29-year-old founder of Legal Lean, a drug-free version of the codeine cough syrup mixture often referred to as "lean," says he tried snortable chocolate after hearing that it was a fad in Europe. He invested $10,000 in creating a "raw cacao snuff," which took over two months to perfect, he told the Post. The product officially hit U.S. shelves last month but is not approved by the FDA.
Doctors aren't sure about the health consequences to snorting the substance due to a lack of studies, Dr. Andrew Lane, director of the Johns Hopkins Sinus Center, told the paper.
The health community has, however, raised concerns about the ingredients used in energy drinks, such as caffeine, taurine, and guarana, all of which have been shown to cause heart palpitations and high blood pressure in some circumstances.
Coco Loko is sold in containers that contain 10 servings and cost about $25.

Why would anyone, other than a libertarian pothead, ever want to?
You libertarians just cannot seem to get enough things sucked up your noses or stuck up your asses …
It's insanity …

Is is what happens when you feel completely whole, happy, and smile towards something that you love or love to do. It's something that you can't get enough of . It's a safe high. No harm can be done emotionally or physically with this high. It's good for you, not bad.
Why do you libertarians need and promote drug use so much?

I thought Trayvon invented that.
"Lean" might be codeine-free, but it it's not drug free. And it causes liver damage.

Why is it any business of yours to decide what substances a free American citizen decides to put in his body? Oh, that's right - in Gatlin Bizarro World, the GOVERNMENT owns your body.
It's no wonder that the liberty-minded posters laugh at you.
Effing statist clown.

No. "Lean" causes liver damage. Tylenol may cause liver damage "either from an overdose or from regular doses that are taken while drinking alcohol".

Because free people in a society get to set the standards by which they all agree to live. That's why.
If the majority of people wanted recreational drugs to be legal, they would be. They don't.

...Legal Lean, a drug-free version of the codeine cough syrup mixture....

It's called "drug"-free but they mean "codeine"-free. It uses dextromethorphan (DXM) cough syrup instead of codeine cough syrup. DXM is a drug, is it not?
DXM metabolizes into dextrorphan which produces effects similar to the states created by other dissociative anesthetics such as ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP).

Why is it any business of your libertarian misgivings to decide that free American citizens can choose which laws they wish completely ignore and put whatever drugs in their body.
Oh, that’s right – in your bizarre libertarian world, anyone can do anything they want to with their own body and if it harms them….then then the shareholders in the insurance company or the taxpayers pay for their misdeeds.
The last I read is that you so called “liberty-minded” assholes comprise a mere 3% of the population. I’ll gladly stand with 97 people and let you 3 of you idiots laugh all you want to.
HAVE AT IT …
Effing libertarian asshole.
I repeat the question:
Why do you libertarians need and promote drug use so much?

You'll likely cause yourself some bad sinus problems.
You'd get the same effects if you downed 2-3 bottles of 5-Hour Energy drinks or similar.
But who knows, they may eventually up the effectiveness of this fake drug. Look at how much they've done with designer cocaine products or improving the potency of weed.
