Best answer:

Answer by greenbean
no, you won’t see a white powder. there is a production process to turn coca leaves into cocaine.

you can chew the leaves to obtain some of the benefit you may be seeking.

Answer by rienafairefr
nope. cocaine is made from coca leaves, but you won’t see any cocaine leaking from the leaves. cocaine is done by basically trying to get the active ingredient from the coca leave and concentrating it the most posssible. This leads to discards all the “unessential” parts of the leaves, except the alkaloid needed. the final powder is basically a pure chemical or close to it, usually a salt of cocaine, or “methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3- (benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1] octane-2-carboxylate hydrochloride”.
