I'm surprised to not see any arrests of people trying to produce cocaine in the US.

It seems like a very easy product to make. All of the ingredients outside of the coca leaves can be bought at a local store. Coca leaves are illegal in the US, but the seeds aren't illegal and you would just need a climate controlled greenhouse to grow the plant. I've seen estimates that you would only need 100 square miles of land to grow coca and be able to satisfy the US demand for coke. It seems like a small greenhouse in your backyard would be enough growing space to live comfortably off your one or two large sales a year.

Currently, I think the only company in the US that can buy coca leaves is the Stepan Company, and they sell the leaves to Coca-Cola.

The basic process to produce coke is to chop up the coca leaves, spread some cement powder on them, splash some sulfuric acid mixed with water on the leaves, marinate the leaves in gasoline, filter out the leaves, use battery acid to separate the watery coke substance from the gasoline, add baking soda, strain and boil out the water, spread the coke paste out to dry, break up the coke paste into a powder.
