hey
you wanna know something fucked up
there's only one lab in the us that's allowed to deal in coca leaves
and that's only for coca-cola
Doesn't really seem that scandalous to let them be grandfathered in.
They have legitimately been selling the same product that whole time. (Except 1985!)
@apLundell what's messed up is they're the *only* ones allowed to do that iirc.
Are they the only one that was grandfathered in? Or are they simply the last surviving one?
I don't know, but I mean, it's been over a century. Even if there were others, I wouldn't expect them to still be around.
