Why is cocaine bad for you, but raw, natural coca leaf is not?
In: Chemistry
Its like 80%+ alcohol – A glass of wine doesnt really hurt you much, but a glass of concentrated, refined, liquor will send you to the floor. IDK exactly the numbers – but lets say it takes 1kg of coca plants + a hell of a lot of chemicals (gasoline, acids, solvents etc) to get 1g out of it. Or you can chew one kg of coca plant – that will take quite some time…
So its the same like having a shot instead of a beer – same content (all though mentioned chemicals) but totally different dose. That classic “coke taste” is not coke… its the things being cut with, lactose, caffeine and so on in powder form. Coke in itself doesnt taste much at all.
