Consider this, while marijuana is smoked as is in natural concentrations, cocaine is refined to a 300 to one ratio. So it took three hundred pounds of leaves to make one pound of powder. That's why it's bad for you.
While it really depends on the crop, most sources will tell you it takes 100 kg of coca leaf to produce 1 kg of cocaine. That is 220 pounds of coca leaf to 2.2 pounds of cocaine, in other words a 100:1 ratio.
Also, cartels may be using modified coca plants that are larger and produce more cocaine.
Here can be seen a parallel between marijuana and cocaine; some marijuana plants contain as little as 1% THC while other plants have been modified to grow up to 30% THC. You can also refine marijuana into the more potent hash through a number of methods that arn't very difficult.

This is not to say that cocaine and marijuana are equals, just that you gave an exaggerated and still poor example of why people shouldn't do cocaine.
Nullific Reviewed by Nullific on . So I did coke for the first time.. yes, I did. It was pretty fun actually, I was kind of nervous about it to begin with because of the stuff it has done to people. I did a couple lines and man I was so energetic, and it was 2 AM, on a school night, I haven't slept really, I smoked a blunt of some really good weed. I reccomend trying this at least once. But yeah, try it if you can, not if you have an addicted personality tho. Rating: 5
