...the coca plant could already do that...?

Tobacco is a hardier plant that can be grown in more places than coca AFAIK.

Now you can support your community with locally grown and cultivated cocaine, instead of relying on imports. Lmao

And growing tobacco is Not AS suspicious as coca

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 17 points 4 days ago

Tobacco is easier to grow in more places. This makes it easier to grow and produce medical grade cocaine.

I invite you to try to grow coca plants in your backyard. You will not succeed, for several reasons...
