  Cocaine \Co"ca*ine\, n. (Chem.)
     A powerful narcotic alkaloid, {C17H21NO4}, obtained from the
     leaves of coca. It is a bitter, white, crystalline substance,
     and is remarkable for producing local insensibility to pain.
     It is classified as addictive and is not available in the U.
     S. without a prescription, but is nevertheless one of the


     most widespread illegal drugs of abuse. It is used in several
     forms, including small pellets of free base, called {crack}.
     Most of the cacaine illegally used in the U.S. is imported.
     [1913 Webster +PJC]
