Coca-Cola was invented in 1885 by John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia, who concocted the original formula in his backyard. Pemberton’s recipe contained cocaine—in the form of an extract of the coca leaf, which inspired the “Coca” part of the beverage’s name. The “Cola” in the name comes from the kola nut, which contains caffeine, another stimulant.
At the time of Coca-Cola’s invention, cocaine was legal and a common ingredient in medicines. It was thought not to be harmful in small doses.
Cocaine is legal in the US (among other countries). It is a schedule II drug and commonly used as an adjunct to surgical procedures. It is rarely dispensed in the form of a prescription for patient use. ENT docs are the primary users of the drug for nasal surgeries.
