Only that they both contain a stimulant, are used to make people feel good, and are derived from South American plants starting with the letter C. (The stimulant in chocolate is caffiene, which is far less addictive or effective than cocaine.)
The Cacao plant grows beans used to make chocolate.
The Coca plant grows roots used to make cocaine, and leaves which are used to make a more mild stimulant in the form of raw leaf, candy or tea (for starters) used to combat altitude sickness in the Andes. Both root and leaf contain cocaine, though the roots are where it is concentrated and thus can be economically processed to create pure cocaine. (And yes, South American drug lords understand economics too...especially the part about markups.)

Both chocolate and cocaine come from the cacao plant, but they are processed differently. Chocolate is made from cacao beans that are roasted and ground, while cocaine is a stimulant drug extracted from coca leaves. While chocolate is safe for consumption in moderation, cocaine is a highly addictive and illegal substance with harmful effects on the body.
Cocaine and codeine are both drugs, but they have different mechanisms of action and effects on the body. Cocaine is a stimulant that affects the brain by increasing dopamine levels, leading to feelings of euphoria and increased energy. Codeine, on the other hand, is an opioid that acts on the central nervous system to relieve pain and suppress coughing. Overall, they are two distinct drugs with different uses and effects.
There is no actual difference between cocaine and blow. "Blow" is a slang term for cocaine that is used in certain contexts. Both terms refer to the same drug, which is a stimulant made from the coca plant.
Cocaine typically has a bitter taste and numbing effect when placed on the tongue, while sugar is sweet. Cocaine is also generally more finely powdered and may have a shine or sparkle to it, whereas sugar is coarser in texture. Testing kits are available that can accurately detect the presence of cocaine in a sample.
Cocaine is a stimulant derived from the coca plant, while speed typically refers to amphetamine or methamphetamine. Cocaine has a shorter duration of action compared to speed, which can last longer. Additionally, cocaine is a Schedule II controlled substance, while methamphetamine is Schedule II or III depending on its form.
The amount of crack cocaine produced from 3.5 grams of cocaine can vary depending on the specific production process and purity of the cocaine being used. On average, about 10-20% of the original cocaine weight can be converted into crack cocaine, so from 3.5 grams of cocaine, you might get around 0.35 to 0.7 grams of crack cocaine.
