Coca Cola still uses coca leaves in it's soda. In fact, they are the largest importer of coca leaves.
The thing is, they take the active drug out of the leaves and use them only for "taste".
Where the actual drugs go after they process the leaves....?
I call BS on that simple fact people don't need a prescription to by a 20oz or a 2 liter.;
Once upon a time: YES
Today: NO.
edit on 7-8-2013 by neo96 because: (no reason given)
Approximately 100 metric tons of coca leaves are imported to the Stepan Company each year under "special permission" from the DEA.....
Once the coca leaves are imported into the USA under these special permissions from the DEA, the coc aine is extracted out of the coca leaves. Coca-Cola doesn't use the coc aine, you see. There is no coc aine in Coca-Cola today.
This brings up an obvious question: Where does all the white powder coc aine go if not to Coca-Cola? It turns out that this coc aine is sold to a St. Louis company called Mallinckrodt Incorporated.

No the best part of the story I read was that they got an incinerator.
But they were burning so much coke that the agents were getting high and had to stop.
lol
Coca-Cola includes as an ingredient a coca leaf extract prepared by a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.[2] The facility, which had been known as the Maywood Chemical Works, was purchased by Stepan in 1959.[3] The plant is the only commercial entity in the USA authorized by the Drug Enforcement Administration to import coca leaves, which come primarily from Peru. Approximately 100 metric tons of dried coca leaf are imported each year. The coc aine-free leaves are sold to The Coca Cola Company, while the coc aine is sold to Mallinckrodt, a pharmaceutical firm, for medicinal purposes.[4]
"The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional."

Ok I will have at it:
The OIJ further explained that officials in Costa Rica had spoken to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) about the temporary lack of an incinerator to destroy seized powder coc aine, marijuana and other illegal drugs. Prior to the massive airlift of coc aine to Miami in late July, the OIJ had managed to destroy almost 23 tons of drugs over the years at a cement factory in Cartago, but a couple of unfortunate incidents resulted in the stockpiling of confiscated drugs, and the OIJ ended up with too much coke. - See more at: qcostarica.com... aine-to-miami/#sthash.TerLWoeC.dpuf
Gonna love watching this get spun as the 'CIA is running drugs dogma'.
uly 30th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) Under tight security and in complete secrecy, the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) transported nearly 24 tons of coc aine to the Liberia airport, which was loaded onto a U.S. Air Force plane to be transported to Miami, Florida for destruction. The coc aine had been seized over the course of the last two years during anti-drug operations in the country.
