>> "In-depth chromatographic analyses of illicit cocaine and its precursor, coca leaves."

...And your point is? Why do you get the impression that we disagree on this? I have already known this for many years.

>> "natural occurring" is in no way sufficient to suggest that a substance is healthy or not

This is not something I claimed at all. It is absurd to extrapolate this from my argument.

If you read closely, it was in the context of it being engineered for a dopamine spike, aka a drug. Maybe the argument could have been better stated by stating that moderate use of sugar typically equates to the same amount that is generally found in a diet consisting of natural, unprocessed and healthy foods.

I didn't think it would be possible to interpret the argument in such a non-nuanced and obtuse way, evidently I'm wrong.

You asked me for a source proving that cocaine is a natural compound, and once provided with one you still thought it was synthesized and not extracted from coca leaves. But now you're telling me you knew all along.

I now realize you don't quite pass the Turing test but honestly it was close, hats off to the programmers.
