It's correct to say the processed powdery form of cocaine was never added.
But actually cocaine was intentionally added, as a byproduct of adding Coca.
More complete excerpt:
> Before the criminalization of cocaine, however, the extract was not decocainized, and hence Coca-Cola's original formula did indeed include cocaine.
You can still get a buzz off chewing raw coca leaf, but it's not in the same ballpark as doing a line in NYC, SV, or Miami. I recall from Drugs Inc, it's more like a caffeine effect when consumed this way.
Before the criminalization of cocaine, however, the extract was not decocainized
So they are right that cocaine was not intentionally added.
