=== What to do with your coca leafs? ===
Coca leaves, the ground product for cocaine, are legal in Bolivia and you'll probably hitch with some drivers with a big ball in their cheek chewing constantly. Though it's from the Andes region, helpful for combating altitude sickness and makes a pretty mean tea, it's not "legal" in all countries to carry with and one must be careful with border crossings and it might be wise to give it to another traveler/local or plain dump it (in the trash). As it's both legal (and growing) in Perú and Bolivia, it wasn't an issue to take a full bag of leafs over the border, as experienced by [[User:MOAH|MOAH]] from Bolivia's Copacabana to Perú's Puno at the Titicaca Lake. They didn't check any luggage at all on either side to be honest, so if you really feel the need to smuggle ''actual'' contraband like that gram of leftover pot... well... there's still this thing called *common sense*.
