Coca leaves have an average of 0.8% cocaine alkaloids. Cocaine on the street is 40-80%. And the rest of it is fillers that are bad for you.

Generally the more pure a drug is, the more powerful it’s effect is. Your body considers these effects a problem and act to balance it out, often meaning you can no longer function without the drug.
