specific changes in the brain which
allow for a quicker and easier addiction
to cocaine the study’s findings help
explain existing data showing that

stuff than our non-smoking snorters
number 3 it has quite a racist history
behind it the zero friends peers
minorities Jewesses and the unseasonable
a tan that is inappropriate
oh boy I think in old-timey racism

order of course cocaine is illegal for
many reasons but the racist rhetoric
around its use probably helped ensure
its prohibition which began in 1914 in
the early 1900’s african-americans were
being blamed for many things due to
cocaine one doctor spread panic from
various publications including the New
