- wpietri 9y agoOne coca leaf extract is indeed cocaine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_a_New_Organic_Base_in_the_Coca_Leaves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_a_New_Organic_Base_in_the_C...

One is a medecinal herb (commonly used to fight altitude sickness), still used by Coca-Cola today, the other is a dangerously addictive substance that Coca-Cola used before they understood it's dangers.
