Cocaine is not a synthesised drug - it's a plant extract. Amphetamine also occurs naturally in plants like Acacia Berlandieri, though it is synthesised when use

- davidtanner 14y agoHN can be surprisingly fact free when the topic of drugs and drug policy reform comes up. Thanks for being part of the solution. I believe that workers have detected methamphetamine in Acacia as well.
- jrogers65 14y agoI read a little through your comment history and it's good to see some fellow psychonauts/drug geeks in here. I can't edit my post above and have a slight correction - > Cocaine is not usually a synthesised drug - it's a plant extract. There are ways to synthesise it but they are expensive compared to an extraction, which is relatively simple and only requires common materials.
