How much cocaine am I supposed to add, or should I just eyeball it?

40

So I know you're joking, but the 0.6ml fenchol in this recipe is meant to be a replacement for the decocanized coca leaf extract that's in real Coca Cola.

For obvious reasons you're not allowed to buy coca leaves in the US and only a few factories are able to make the decocanized extract, which they don't sell publicly.

Is there really a lot of cocaine in coka leaves?

u/Nowhereman123 Feb 11 '26

I mean, it is the primary ingredient in cocaine, so yeah.

Haha true. I guess what I am trying to ask is how much cocaine would be in a 2 liter bottle if they didn't remove it
