Well that's the thing - we import tons of tobacco. We don't import tons of coca, without knowing exactly where it's going.
Coca Cola is permitted to import coca via an agreement with the DEA and produces an estimated $3 billion worth of actual cocaine per year.
Must be nice to be a mega corp.
From what I read awhile back, that cocaine goes to pharmaceutical needs.
And veterinary medicine!
Cocaine for horses and not for men.
Doctor say it kills you but he don't say when.
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.
Sadly. Yes.
Yep. That's where all the imports go. But if we suddenly have this genetically modified stuff on the market, it's free game baby!
Cross pollination.

$3b in real money, or cop math?
Good question.
One source (2023) says
??? That's .. Not right
Bulk value 50 million for 2 million g (2000kg). Going by my (likely now outdated) last known value for a key at around 25k.
They're saying it's 1000$/g?!?
Am I tired or are these numbers just completely bonkers?
I don't care if it's the purest shit, that is insane.

What a weird way of describing 2000 kg.
