Last thing I remember, there is only 1 company in US (NJ) that is able to import these...
Yes, Stepan has an exclusive license to import coca leaves for their medical use.  After extracting the cocaine, some spent leaves are sold to Coca-Cola.

According to the Bolivian press,[citation needed] Coca-Cola legally imported 204 tons of coca leaf in 1996.

According to the US press, this is wrong. The Washington Times says Stepan buys about 100 tons and Coke receives a fraction of that. The article was written in 2004. That would make that claim impossible. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/apr/19/20040419-093635-4754r/?page=all

Still, thanks for the interesting info!

I don't know what the laws are in other country's but it is legal to buy and own in the US.

Well, yes and no...

The coca leaf is listed on Schedule I of the 1961 Single Convention together with cocaine and heroin.
Outside of South America, most countries' laws make no distinction between the coca leaf and any other substance containing cocaine, so the possession of coca leaf (except for de-cocainized leaf) is prohibited.
In the United States, a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey has the only license to legally import coca leaf. The company manufactures pure cocaine for medical use and also produces a cocaine-free extract of the coca leaf, which is used as a flavoring ingredient in Coca-Cola. According to the Bolivian press,[citation needed] Coca-Cola legally imported 204 tons of coca leaf in 1996.

Commercially available sources of coca leaves like this one all obtain decocanized leaves. These leaves have none of the active ingredients which make coca a stimulant and cannot be processed into cocaine.

Note that local law enforcement might not be up to speed with all of the above and you're as likely to end up in cuffs over decocanized coca leaves as for medical marijuana (or even smoking tobacco from a hookah in some parts of the country).

I learn something new everyday. Thanks for the info, it seems that the leaves I have been using are indeed de-cocainized leaf.

I'll sell you some maple leaves for way cheaper. They will serve you equally well.

You may want to try SR.

This is probably the way to go. They are scheduled the same as purified cocaine, which is absolutely retarded.

I wouldn't rely on a relatively unsecured site to get all felonious up in this piece.

how much do you need? have you been to boliva/peru Huh love those countries

I'm not sure how much I would want to buy at first, it depends on your cost and the quality when it arrived. And no, I have never had the pleasure of visiting Bolivia or Peru.

What do you use coca leaves for?

I use them for tea, my wife and I really like the tea made from these leaves and have not found a good alternative.

I'm looking for someone who lives in south america (or north) who can get me some coca leaves shipped to the US, cheep. The stigma about them here in the US keeps the supply low and the price high. You can buy them from several online places like Amazon but they are more than $25 for 100 leaves. I want fresh not dried leaves shipped to the US, please pm me or leave your offers here. I will be paying in BTC, Thanks.
