Who invented cocain ?

The locals chewed the leaves for thousands of years. In the 19th century, European chemists studied it for its analgesic properties.

I imagine one of those chemists purified the solution and dried it. Knowing that nasal mucosa does absorb many molecules, the chemist figured snorting was easier than injecting it.

But that is just a guess.

look up snuff.

blame the english! ;)


well, not really but that's one thing then when it was a syrup used in medicinal over the counter meds.

(until around 1914 when , least in the states all companies had to remove it from their products or else.)

(... coke a cola being the more famous of them.)

Someone who understood very well the large area of exposed tissue in nose and sinuses but did not recognize the fragile nature of the nose.

The Inca, I think, or an earlier south american civilisation that they took over (I dont think its clear). In limited uses/purposes, it is excellent (IIRC for high-altitude long distance running, e.g. delivering the messages of the Inca himself; maybe for some climbing).

If you reflect on it, it really is crazy. Lots of people who would never dream of trying a new cuisine or a different brand of coffee are eager to try new or old drugs.

It was used by the Inca in the 14th Century and probably much earlier; injecting wasnt an option then, they usually imbibed it by rubbing on the gums or inhaling (or chewing the coca leaves which was a lot .. slower).

Idk. Me.
I remember I once snorted some mock cocaine for the craic! This girl was sitting behind me in the computer room & crushed some random pill she found on the desk & made a few lines with it.

People that are naughty produced cocaine first to kill then just sell to venues that market drugs. These venues are places to sell the poison and the naughty to all that Dare to buy.
