Damn coke used to be cool ? Now it is just average useless soda
After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, Coca-Cola started using "spent" leaves – the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with trace levels of cocaine.[77] Since then (by 1929[78]), Coca-Cola has used a cocaine-free coca leaf extract. Today, that extract is prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey, the only manufacturing plant authorized by the federal government to import and process coca leaves, which it obtains from Peru and Bolivia.[79] Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it then sells to Mallinckrodt, the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use.[80]

So it still has coca extract, just not the cocaine part.
C'mon Stepan Company, you could be a bro and "accidentally" let just a smidge through the final product.
It's like a non alcoholic beer
That's why they named the company "coca" cola.
Now they should just rename to just "cola"
It's false advertising really
It's still coca leaf flavoured
A lot of things used to be a lot cooler. My doctor has never prescribed me opium and laudanum for a cough.
Get a better doctor! Mine prescribes meth to make my brain work better.
I would be happy to have an Adderall prescription. I'm afraid to ask for one though. I don't want to get secretly listed as drug-seeking since that'll cause problems if I ever need pain medication, which is likely considering the lifestyle I lead (lots of injuries).
Don't worry, they assume it anyway so you might as well ask.
I went to the ER with no recent history of being on pain meds and was treated like I was seeking drugs when I told them the Tylenol wasn't doing anything for the pain. Had to convince them to give me a catheter so they could get a urine sample to see if it was kidney stones before they gave me anything that worked. "Juat pee for us" they said to the guy who told them I came to the ER because I couldn't pee and was in incredible pain.
Fuck the fear mongering about drug seeking behavior. Why do ERs care if somebody wants to feed their addiction more than whether someone is in actual pain?
Yeah
Or Pervitin. I think you could buy it OTC as pills
