Question:

Answers:
cocaine is made from the leaves of the coca plant - about 10LB of leaves tomake 1Lb of cocaine.

Chemicals are used also but nothing terribly elaborate.

So "man modified" - but simply chewing the leaves "works" - and locals DO chew the leaves - for both recreation purposes and for pain relief

Cocaine is found in nature.in fact, the Native Americans used it as a soothing remedy. Leave it to us to take advantage of a natural thing and OD on it.
