coca cola uses de-cocained coca leaves in its drink, and i am trying to find a good substitute to replicate the taste of it so i can add it to my soda syrups. it has been described as tasting like either yerba mate or green tea, but i want to know if any of you have tried it so you can tell me which substitute is closest to the flavor
>>20840837Buy some teabags from Colombia. They're legal, but use the leaves or whatever.
Buy some seeds online and grow a shrub in your kitchen.
>>20840867i don't know if i am getting the real thing since it IS illegal to import it regardless of what purpose it's for unless you are a pharmacy company. scammers can use that as an excuse to sell me something that looks similar for a premium
>>20840837What's your source that they still use it as a flavoring?
>>20841057Look it up you lazy fuck. They buy a decocainized extract from Stepan and Stepan sells all the cocaine to Mallinckrodt.
>>20841214Sorry, I'm not taking your word without proof.
>>20841214>just look up the recipe that is famously secret

>>20840907>it IS illegal to import itIs it really? Its just a plant
>>20840837>coca cola uses de-cocained coca leaves in its drinkThat hasn't been true for decades
>>20842347so are opium poppies but they're federally illegal to grow"it's just a plant" is like saying "it's just a poison dart frog." there are many things in nature that are so harmful that you can hurt other people by possessing them. for every 1 dork looking to replicate coca cola you have a million criminals looking to make bathtub cocaine. and the last thing a country thats actively dying of heart failure needs is more stimulants.
>>20842349coca cola uses de-cocained leaves currently. what hasn't been true for decades is them using regular cocaine containing leaves.Also this is easily searchable and you are a dumb fuck for believing falsehood and an even bigger dumb fuck for repeating it in a public forum
>>20842403he's just pretending to be retarded
>>20841247>>20841057>>20841318>>20842429The enReddification of 4chan
>>20842347It's the root of a schedule 2 drug. You can import it, but you need a certificate to do it and they don't give them out. It's one of those Government Catch 22s. Mallinckrodt legally imports a specified amount a year to create drugs that are primarily used for eye surgery, the decocainized leaves are then sold to Coca Cola. This basically happens everywhere coca cola is made and that's how it gets the flavor.
anyone know where to get cokebrad
>>20842391how about you let adults do what they want and stop being such a baby back bitch
