No. Cocoa or Theobroma cacao is the plant where cocoa pods come from and is a primary ingredient in chocolate. It is native to the deep tropical regions of the Americas. Coca or Erythroxylum coca, on the other hand, is native to north-western South America and is the major ingredient in cocaine. The two plants come from different families and bear no relation to each other in composition or appearance despite similarities in name.
