Editing Coca (section)

===United States===
Like cocaine, coca is controlled under the [[Controlled Substances Act]] (CSA) as a Schedule II drug meaning it is a restricted drug and is illegal to process without a prescription or a DEA registration.

In the United States, a [[Stepan Company]] plant in [[Maywood, New Jersey]] is a registered importer of 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. Other companies that have registrations with the DEA to import coca leaf according to 2011 Federal Register Notices for Importers,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/fed_regs/imprt/reg/2011/ |title=Importers Notice of Registration{{snd}}2011 |publisher=deaDiversion.usdoj.gov |access-date=2012-11-09 |archive-date=2013-06-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130615125804/http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/fed_regs/imprt/reg/2011/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> include Johnson Matthey, Inc, Pharmaceutical Materials; Mallinckrodt Inc; Penick Corporation; and the Research Triangle Institute. Analysts have noted the substantial importation of coca leaf into the United States,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owl59XeknxU| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140601164001/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owl59XeknxU| archive-date=2014-06-01 | url-status=dead|title=YouTube|website=www.youtube.com}}</ref> but the actual quantity is unknown because much of it is illegally imported, and there are many reports of coca leaves and coca teas being sold in the United States and being seized by the [[Drug Enforcement Administration]] throughout the States and Territories of the United States.
