I’m In Love With The Cacao: How Chocolate is Changing the Party Scene

In the rave and party scene, we all know there are many different substances getting passed around like nobody’s business. From alcohol in sunscreen bottles to marijuana, LSD, and amphetamine concoctions. The selections are truly endless of what substances you can find nowadays. Well, the Cocoa we’re talking about today isn’t the normal party drug you’d think of. We’re talking about Raw Organic Cacao Powder.

Apparently, when ingested, cacao releases a flood of serotonin and endorphins in your brain, making you feel energetic and euphoric, while the magnesium it contains relaxes your muscles and relieves tension, for a delightful full-body “high.”

All over Western Europe, it is often found that inside the club scene, and even parties, that people are opting out on alcohol or other illegal substances like MDMA to get tanked on Cacao Powder. What could be better than getting your sweet tooth fix on chocolate while experiencing a new high? When you ingest Cacao Powder, you don’t run that increasingly common risk of dehydration like other substances.

But how do you ingest it for that ‘optimal high?’ Through your nose. Scientist Dominique Person actually invented a contraption that will allow you to snort the Cacao Powder evenly, rather than in one big ginormous glob. But, you don’t HAVE to snort it. There are actually quite a few other methods.

Coincidentally, Lucid Music Festival in Berlin, Germany, has also made the switch over to Cacao Powder. Inside, you will find zero traces of alcohol being sold or served. Alternatively, they make certain ‘euphoric’ drinks out of the powder with other additions such as honey, agave, and cinnamon. According to the festival goers, these drinks are known to get you “high AF” and the people really can’t complain.

Recent reports have stated that festival goers here in the states will also be able to experience this ‘euphoria’ at a well known transformational festival called Lightning in a Bottle down in Southern California. With all of the ceremonies this festival offers, it is not surprising that they will throw in a Cacao Ceremony as well that kickstarts the entire day.

But please everyone… we don’t recommend trying this at home on your own. And for god’s sake, don’t try vaping the beans. We’re sure one of these days, Seattle will be the hub of Raw Cacao Powder. As for now, we can only hope to see the switch to this velvety goodness coming to music festivals near the Pacific Northwest.
