Coca leaves dont get you "stoned" though, only the refined stuff. Neither do I agree that most populations spend their days "stoned". Indigenous tribes that drink ayahusca for instance only use in rituals. The natives from north america didnt smoked tobacco all day either.

Its obvious they had functional societies, which isnt possible when people spend all day using psycoactives, like Europe on heroin or Asia on opium days.
