Remember The History Of Coca-Cola Putting Cocaine In Their Soda? Well, New Jersey Factory Secretly Produces Up To $2 Billion Of Pure Cocaine With Special Deal From DEA

And this then goes in their products, which they pimp out to kids?  And you thought the Drug Enforcement Agency had you and your children’s best interests at heart… Not so.  In fact, it seems to be that government wants to imprison you should you want a portion of the coca plant, but it’s just fine for their fascist buddies to manufacture and sell it as long as the DEA gets their cut.

The New York Post reported, “Coca-Cola gets its iconic taste thanks in part to a chemical processing factory in a sleepy New Jersey neighborhood that has the country’s only license to import the plant used to make cocaine.”

“The Maywood-based facility, now managed by the Stepan Company, has been processing coca leaves for the soft-drink giant for more than a century and had its license to import them renewed by the Drug Enforcement Agency earlier this year,” the report added.

The Daily Mail broke the story:

A small chemical processing plant hidden in a quiet neighborhood of New Jersey has an exclusive license to import coca leaves into the US on behalf of The Coca-Cola Company and manufactures as much as $2 billion of pure cocaine every year.

The leaves are used to produce a ‘decocainized’ ingredient for the iconic soda and the cocaine byproduct is sold to the nation’s largest opioid manufacturer, which markets the powder as a numbing agent and topical anesthetic for dentists.

The DEA did not respond to a request from DailyMail.com for details as to how much coca the company imports, but in the 1980s it was was reported that more than 500 metric tons of leaves could enter the plant in a single year.

Five hundred tons of leaves might produce something in the region of two million grams of cocaine – which, according to pharmaceutical company listings online, could be worth around $2 billion.

Most of what is known about the secretive agreement was released in the late 1980s when government officials and Coca-Cola eventually spoke of it on the record. 

The New York Times reported at the time that Stepan was importing between 56 and 588 metric tons of coca each year from mainly Peru, but also Bolivia.

Ricardo Cortés is an illustrator and author of the book A Secret History of Coffee, Coca and Cola, which chronicles the drink’s history and how the company behind it earned exclusive rights to process the coca plant in the US.

Records acquired by Cortés and published by the National Company of the Coca, a Peruvian state-owned company, declared that between 45 and 104 tons of leaves were exported to Maywood each year between 2007 and 2010.

‘They’re the most American red, white and blue brand, but they don’t want to be associated with the drug wars,’ Cortés told DailyMail.com.

‘They’re doing a refined version of what’s going on in the jungle of Bolivia.’ 

The coca leaf is the plant source of cocaine and is used to illegally manufacture the drug in parts of south America, including Peru, Bolivia and Colombia. It has been illegal to import the leaves to the US since 1921.

Nonetheless, The Coca-Cola Company, now worth around $265 billion, has imported the ‘controlled substance’ freely for the last century. In that time, as governments have strived to crack down on the notorious coca plant, the company miraculously avoided restriction.

Article 27 of the United Nations’ 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which imposed strict controls on the cultivation of the coca bush, made suspiciously precise exceptions.

‘The Parties may permit the use of coca leaves for the preparation of a flavouring agent, which shall not contain any alkaloids, and, to the extent necessary for such use, may permit the production, import, export, trade in and possession of such leaves,’ reads the provision.  

The New York Post adds:

Cortés wrote in a 2016 blog post that he visited the National Archives and saw letters between Anslinger and Maywood Chemical Works joining forces to deflect a Life Magazine reporter’s story about the coca leaf importation.

“We do not desire the publicity which such an article might bring us,” Maywood Chemical’s President M.J. Hartung wrote to Anslinger in 1949.

The next year, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics filed an internal memo regarding the matter.

“Less publicity of articles about coca leaves and narcotic drugs will be better for the public,” the memo from July 1950 reads, going on to call past coverage of the issue unsatisfactory.

This is the kind of hypocrisy we face from our government daily, and remember, the biggest drug dealers in the world come right out of the Central Intelligence Agency.
