Es importante entender la diferencia entre coca y cocaína. La coca, cuyo uso doméstico data de unos cuatro a seis mil años, es la hoja sagrada del pueblo andino. La cocaína, por su parte, es una invención europea de hace 140 años. Se necesitan 41 productos químicos para poder extraer la cocaína de la hoja de coca y se requieren 110 kilos de hojas para producir 600 gramos de cocaína pura. La coca contiene 14 alcaloides estimulantes, siendo el principal la cocaína, pese a su ínfima proporción. Según estudios científicos, la hoja andina contiene menos de un 0,08 por ciento de cocaína pura, que entra en su forma activa por la acción alcalina de la saliva al ser masticada. 2, record 1, Spanish, - hoja%20de%20coca
