Cocaine is a pre-War recreational drug produced from the leaves of the coca plant.
Characteristics[]
This highly addictive drug is no longer available in the continental United States, as the manufacture and trade of the substance has been hampered by the Great War. Myron falsely claims that the "new climate" makes it impossible to cultivate the crop of coca plant to manufacture it when asking him about Jet.[1]
Appearances[]
Cocaine is mentioned in Fallout 2.

Myron: "{710}{myn112}{Plus, a peyote trip is too long. The profit's in fast turn around and high addiction. Like, uh, barbitutates before the Big One, y'know?}"

The Chosen One: "{5725}{}{Fine, fine. What was the problem with making barbiturates?}"
Myron: "{726}{myn113b}{Problem is, in the new climate, we can't grow most of the veggies needed for the best drugs.}"
