Cocaine Obsession R K Lemmons-Weber

Cocaine Obsession will explore the nature of and perception of cocaine in its native land prior to European exploitation, its importation to North America (as well as its initial popularity), its prohibition in North America, triggers/withdrawals/health risks and where cocaine is today. I plan to explore Cocaine's migration in 2006 via self-reported interviews with individuals whom are chronic users (either socially or on-going). My desire is that you, the reader, ask yourself this one question as you read this report: if cocaine had and continues to have medicinal purposes, termed as a Schedule #2 Drug, what deems cocaine to be a "bad drug" in North America? What is your perception of cocaine?
