| Opplysninger | In this personal account the author traces the debate over the use of cocaine, presenting ideas of influential thinkers of the last hundred years from Freud, who used cocaine and believed it not addictive, through Lewis Lewin, Hans Maier, who clearly documented its potential for irreversible addiction one hundred years ago, to Alfred Lindesmith and William Buckley, favoring "treatment" over law enforcement, a policy which, he says, culminated in today's permissiveness and disastrous abuse. Nahas also describes joining the Calypso team of Captain Cousteau and its group of explorer-filmmakers in Peru to make a documentary of the cocaine traffic in the coca-producing jungle of the Amazon.. - Includes bibliography
