I thought it was coke created as a by-product from coal production.
The kind the use to make vinyl.

How wrong I was.

One of us should try to get a job at this Mallinckrodt company and share the wealth with the rest of us.

After googling around a bit, apparently it gets sold to a medical company called Mallinckrodt Inc. (since cocaine does have a legitimate use as a local anesthetic). What they do with that much cocaine a year baffles me, since there's no way that much is used legitimately around the US, or even the world.
375 bricks ain't much at all for a nationwide scale
it's a hell of a lot, since it's mostly obsolete as an anesthetic, having been replaced by "better" ones. so it's rarely used, and on top of that, I can't imagine the doses used being very high either.
Cola isn't the only product with decocainized extract in it though.

Sure. I don't mind paying the postage for a 1kg package if the contents of said package is 1kg of platinum. :)

You know, I actually fucked that up big time.
I was thinking it would weigh so much you`d not be interested.
I didn`t consider 1kg is 1kg regardless.
Bloody 1kg of feathers trick.

I don't see why a naturally occurring plant extract is illegal. Why isn't caffeine illegal then? Or chocolate? Or vanilla? They're all extracts... I mean, i get regulating synthetic drugs, but If it grows out of the ground then who are you to say its "bad" and we can't have it.
