I have heard that this is an assumption, not a proven fact. The cocaine is removed from the flavoring extracts, but (as with most natural products) nobody has an exhaustive list of what compounds are still in there. It's not impossible that some "active" substances might remain. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
