Does Coca-Cola contain cocaine?

Coca-Cola originally used coca leaves as one ingredient, which contains the basic "ingredient" of cocaine. The amount present was 9 milligrams until around 1903; after this point, already-used leaves were used instead and the amount of cocaine became minscule. The company currently uses a cocaine-free variety of the plant, so there is no chance of the drink containing any at all Coca-cola was introduced in 1886 as "a valuable brain-tonic and cure for all nervous afflictions".

It was promoted as a temperance drink "offering the virtues of coca without the vices of alcohol". The new beverage was invigorating and popular. Until 1903, a typical serving contained around 60mg of cocaine.

Sold today, the drink still contains an extract of coca-leaves. The Coca-Cola Company imports eight tons from South America each year. Nowadays the leaves are used only for flavouring since the drug has been removed.
