To cocaine or to not cocaine, that's the dilemma... Quick post of the night

Ok so quick disclaimer, I haven't done cocaine.... or have I??? haha jk, no I haven't. But I promise the title of the post will make sense after you read the post

Now, this post is not your usual comic post just because by the time I got into making the drawings, it was already too late for me to finish the story. I wasn't too sure on how to make the comic in a funny way, so that's why I didn't got to draw it sooner. But I still want to share the story even if it's told with words and just one drawing.

This happened to me when I was in Cusco, Peru. That city sits at an altitude of 3.4 km (11 thousand feet) above the sea. A lot of people suffer from altitude sickness, so it's a common practice that when you arrive at your hotel you get a coca leaves tea (the stuff they make cocaine from). However, since it's all in it's natural form, it doesn't do much to your body... at least for me it was just like having a cup of coffee, and maybe helping with altitude sickness (although it might have been a psychological or predisposition thing at that point).

So I arrived at my hotel, got my tea and then went off on a tour of the city. By the time the tour was done, it was pretty late and raining. With a thirst for exploring the city, I adventured to downtown not caring much if I was getting wet from the rain.

When I got to the restaurant I was a little wet but very cold. I took a look at the menu and decided that a coca leaves tea and a soup would be a great choice! warm and soothing to the body. What I did not anticipate is that I got my coca tea served in a beer mug.... it was PACKED with coca leaves... but because I was cold and I didn't want to turn it down, I drank the whole thing and then went back to the hotel room.

Oh boy.... I was HYPED!!! I couldn't sleep, I just remember spending a very cold night and not being able to sleep. Checking multiple times the clock just to realize that time was still (lol well that's at least how I feel when I can't sleep).

The lesson here, don't drink that much coca tea before bed xD.

As you see, the title of the post was more sarcastic than me doing drugs. The tea did have an effect on me but it wasn't like I was looking for a dealer and doing cocain while firing ma'guns (which I don't have) to protect my drug empire lol.

Let me know if you have questions on the story like: did I have to runaway from the police at the airport? did they make me do a blood test to check for drugs? did I got in a bar fight with a drug sniffing dog? ... haha I'll be glad to answer all your questions.

P.S: I have an event tomorrow so probably there won't be a comic tomorrow as well :( but I'll try to do one for friday :D
