This Is Cocaine

The recreational drug with the fastest-growing popularity, cocaine is marked by contrasts: it brings euphoria and despair, results in obscene wealth and dire poverty, and is used by both Peruvian hill farmers and sharply dressed American professionals. This book, featuring photographs and illustrations, presents the drug in all its complexity, including the drug's history, the extraordinary world of drug lords and traffickers, the politics of production, the science of addiction, and cocaine's health implications.Constable, Nick is the author of 'This Is Cocaine', published 2004 under ISBN 9781860745478 and ISBN 1860745474.
