Other - coca leaves and dogs

[cokeee]

can dogs smell the cocaine in the leaves ??if so what kind of quantity are we talking they start smelling? only certain answers please asap...

[Katabatic]

I've read that they can't. Could be wrong though.

[Benga]

no, dogs can rarely smell alkaloids inside vegetable matter in general.
but they could surely identify the smell coca leaves if there were trained to.

one last thing, keep in mind that coca leaves are not, unlike what so people think, an this is on of the idea prohibitionists had when they included coca on the 1961 Single Convention, coca leaves are not just nature's purse full of cocaine. it's a little more complicated than that.
