by Peter Woodside
Movie and rock stars, writers, stock¬
brokers and other professionals often
spend up to $700 a week for it while
college students often plunk down the
last of their meager funds for a quarter
gram of that euphoric powder, cocaine.
Because of press reports of 'snow
storms" that frequent Hollywood par¬
ties, the public has become aware of the
recent incredible increase'in the popu¬
larity of cocaine. But because few bard
facts are known about the drug, even
among its users, a number of myths have
become attached with coke.
However, Joel L. Phillips and Ronald
Wynne have attacked this void of infor¬
mation problem with their recent book,
'Cocaine: The Mystique and the Real¬
ity." Both Phillips, a criminal justice con¬
sultant , and Wynne, a research psychol¬
ogist, have provided an in depth look on
what is known to date on the drug IMO's
folk hero Wavy Gravy described as "the
thtnirtfig man's Dristan. *
Phillips and Wynne compiled months
of *in the field* interviewing of narcotics
officials, smugglers, street dealers and
the gamut of users with current scientific
data on the drug. The result is a well
documented yet easy to read reference
work cm cocaine.
While the general reader may be
bogged down with the scientific material
on the drug, the book also investigates
cocaine today, with the mystique of the
drug culture, the paraphernalia involved
and the methods of administration.
Tim roarlliuf fr rrfrm highlights.1 with
off-beat anecdotes about the drug.
For instance, the authors reveal that
housewife* who "toot" regard house¬
work as one of their most enjoyable
activities while they're high.
For those more seriously involved with
cocaine, the book provides a melting
point table to test for adulterants a* well
aa a conrolwte description of drug smug¬
gling and the doe and don'ts of dealing.
However, the book also erplsrnt the
effects of chronic abuse' of the drug,
which include acute paranoid schizo¬
phrenia, halhyrruytinTis and severe
depression. One of the major problems
regular users face is ulceration of the
nasal septum. While the book lists a
number of street myths on prevention of
ulcerations, they offer no "septum back
guarantee." »
Since the drug creates no physical
dependency or tolerance, the only addic¬
tion is a psychological one. However,
because' the drugs euphoric effect', it
can be quite habit forming, according to
tbe author*. Many of the users inter¬
view* said they would snort it everyday
if they could afford it.
And cost is an inhibiting factor, a
gram of the powdery stuff runs a 8100
and higher. However, the book points
out that at the end of the 1800's and
early 1900 's coke was readily available
at a low cost. Since the drug was legal,
it was used in a number of patent med¬
icines, with one elixir <*«tt«tri«.ig 4.6
grama of coke per ounce.
Indeed, John Styth Ferberton created
a fortune off his soft drink. Coca-cola,
which crattahefri cocaine. Needles* to
say, it soon became the rage.
As a aide note, the book also mentions
that even today Coca-cola is still flavored
by decocainized cocoa leave*. Also since
1969, Coca-ccJa no longer has to prove to
the government that the leaves are com¬
pletely oVorairrirerl, which led one
chemist to speculate that small quan¬
tities of coke probably dip into the soft
drink. So next time you're sipping on a
Coca-cola, it may very well be 'the real
thing.*
