Does Coca-Cola really contain cocaine?!


Question: Does Coca-Cola really contain cocaine?
I've heard that one of Coca-Cola's ingredients comes from coca leaves... The same leaves from which cocaine is produced. Is this true?

Answers:

What you've heard is true, an ingredient is produced from the coca leaves. However, cocaine is not used in producing coca-cola.
If memory serves me right, Coca_Cola is the only corproation in America that is allowed to use the plant or the ingredient in their process, you can bet what they do with it is tightly monitored at all times.



At one time back in the 30s and 40s cocaine was indeed an ingredient in coca-cola, It was just enough to take the edge off, not enough to get you high or hooked. When the Feds regulated cocaine that's when they stopped using it. But back then you could buy elixirs over the counter with cocaine in them and in large amounts.



Coca-cola used to contain small amounts of cocaine. This was many many years ago. The law changed that issue and it no longer contains cocaine or anything related to cocaine.



it contained cocaine back in the early 1900's, but they changed the recipe almost a hundred years ago.

Yes some ingredients are derived from the coca leaf but this doesn't mean that coca cola has cocaine in it. Chocolate comes from the same leaf.



It used to but not in the last hundred years or watever



No it doesn't contain cocaine, only one ingredient is from the same plant as the drug..but it is not the same as the ingredient is coccaine



asking if there is cocaine in there is a completely different question, like how could u possibly believe there would be cocaaaaine in coke?

yeah, thats why kids are addicted to it. haha, no, there is no cocaine in coke. back in the day there was but not anymore.



I dont think so. I guess if cocanie is illegal then it wouldnt be allowed in an ' all ages drink.' Laws are stricter these days then back then.
