Abstract

Use of cocaine is traced from South American Indians through 19th century European patterns into 20th century United States. Different methods of using cocaine produce effects with different potencies; the free-basing method is most potent and potentially most lethal and addictive. Addiction to cocaine has a different pattern than the physiological effects of heroin but is no less real, perhaps even more dangerous.
