Ahhhh, the "white collar drug" - aside from being a great song, here is some interesting information about cocaine.
Among other interesting bits - if I remember correctly;
Freud called it the miracle drug. Then again, he wanted to fuck his mother.
Some groups used it to feed slaves...because they'd work harder and non-stop for days without getting hungry.
Also...in the original Coca-Cola - you had the equivalent of about a line of coke.
On the down side? It is HIGHLY addictive...in some studies they found that monkeys would perform meaningless button pushing tasks over and over....a couple hundred times...just for a bump.
Also, you never know how much you can handle. Some people have had the equivalent of a line for medicinal purposes at a doctor's office, and it has resulted in death.
Finally, the more you do it...the more you need for a high...but the LESS your body's ability to handle it is...which can, again, result in death.
Fascinating stuff....just fascinating.
NOTE: (and edit): I am NOT advocating its use, nor am I saying it is positive by saying it's fascinating. I think driving at 200 MPH would be fascinating, too.....doesn't mean I think it's smart.
