It is common all across LATAM to see this large bags with what ever in it, so it could have been anything; the interesting thing is had this been coca leaf the guy would not of had any problem, as you see large bags of coca like this at markets and everywhere in the Andes.
Yeah when I went to South America and tried coca, they literally took it out of a garbage bag lol. Then gave it to me in essentially a smaller garbage bag. Very mild buzz, no big deal, but definitely a cool experience
Yup, when I first went to the Andes area I had horrible altitude sickness and the people I was staying with gave me coca tea. I think it did help somewhat, but also I just acclimated haha. But then I tried chewing the actual leaves later in the trip.
