Addiction potential

The coca leaf, when consumed in its natural form or as coca tea, does not induce a physiological or psychological dependence, nor does abstinence after long-term use produce symptoms typical to substance addiction.^[1]^[2]^[3]

A typical cocaine dose is almost 50 times greater in comparison to chewing whole coca.^[4]
