It's definitely a drug, just starkly different from cocaine. Cocaine is obviously far more concentrated plus cut with a tonne of different chemicals on top of that.

When I was down there, I was curious as well to the relationship between the two, so I asked someone about it. He told me that cocaine is made from coca in about 1000:1 ratio. So that's 1kg of coca to make 1g of cocaine.

I'm not sure if that's accurate or not though, and I don't really feel like googling instructions on how to make cocaine while at work...
