Risks and toxicity
It is recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this drug. Although cocoa is relatively safe when ingested orally, snorting cocoa is very damaging to nasal passages and therefore it is not recommended to snort cocoa powder often, in large amounts, or potentially even at all. PW
Snorted cocoa has been used as a "party drug" in Europe, usually as a legal and subtle replacement for MDMA or cocaine. Cocoa solids is a very bulky substance. Insufflation of cocoa solids in the respiratory tract can cause inflammation.[4]
Overdose
The LD₅₀ of cocoa powder in humans is estimated to be around 25-100 grams per kilogram of body weight. PW⚠ PsychonautWiki itself has flagged this text: citation needed.⚠ PsychonautWiki itself has flagged this text: vague.
Dependence and abuse potential
Because cocoa can act as a powerful (compared to other weaker stimulants on their own) stimulant, it can be considered addictive, but less so than compounds such as amphetamine and DOx compounds. Caffeine dependence and withdrawals have been documented.[6] PW
Dangerous interactions
monoamine oxidase inhibitors or reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase could potentially boost the actions of phenethylamine or, more dangerously, raise levels of monoamines to very high amounts which could cause high blood pressure or less potentially, serotonin syndrome.

Overview
Cocoa, or cocoa powder is a naturally occurring product from the cocoa beans of the cacao tree Theobroma cacao, known for being a main ingredient in chocolate. It is found usually in the form of cocoa beans, which are taken from the cocoa plant, or cocoa powder. Cocoa beans and bean powder contain psychoactive compounds that when ingested or insufflated act as mild to moderate stimulants. Businesses as well as companies and their subsidiaries sell cocoa powder for baking because cocoa powder is used to add chocolate flavor to baked items or doughs. PW
Theobroma cacao (cacao tree or cocoa tree) is a small (6–12 m tall) evergreen tree in the Malvaceae family. Its seeds—cocoa beans when dried and fermented—are used to make chocolate liquor, cocoa powder, cocoa butter and chocolate. Although the tree is native to the tropics of the Americas, the largest producer of cocoa beans in 2022 was Côte d'Ivoire.[1]
