I probably wouldn't give it too much of a shelf life. Considering the way it's made, lack of QC (probably), structure of the molecule, large amount of impurities (again, probably), and storage conditions.

I've yet to read the article, but even wrapped in plastic and whatnot, being buried is a pretty bad way to preserve drugs. Moisture, heat fluctuations and such.

Gonna go read it now. Will update if I think I need to.

Edit: that was uninformative. Although it looks like only one bundle was found. So the owner found 3 (haha), and the police only found one.

Its also an organic compound right?

Cocaine? 100%. Also with the structure it has, lots of potential degradation products.

Yeah. In the ground, it'll probably still get the job done in a couple years, but much less effective. Not to mention the degradation products as I touched on before. I wouldn't risk it.
