no. Coffee and cacao (the plant from which we derive “cocoa” and “cocaine”) are entirely different plants and are in no way related. If one were to chew the leaves from a cacao tree, yes the effects of cocaine would be felt by the user. But coffee beans are a harmless (in moderation)ingredient in many foods and candy. Some people enjoy eating plain coffee beans or coffee beans dipped in chocolate.
