DESCRIPTION:
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.
Patricia R. Highsmith said poor use of time. If trying to learn useful information about cocaine and addiction this book is not a good use of time. I'd recoomend another title as most of this book spends its pages in benign information and ends with observations more political and social than informative.
