The history of Cocaine

I found it interesting to found the historic of cocaine because I wanted to know where and when it came from. It seems that people use cocaine since 3000 years before J.C. It is the South Americans that chewed the leaf of the coca tree, they considered those trees like a donation from god. Those leaf were used as stimulants and it gave the workers the energy that they needed to do their tasks. People began to do experiments new things with the coca leaf that create crack. Cocain begins to be more popular and after many years later, in 1970, people found a manner to smoke it. Drug addict also buy it in little rocks that they put in powder to sniff. Crack easily destruct many lives even if it is a relatively new drug compared to heroin and opium, it is use since 150 years.

My opinion is that drugs are too modify. Naturally, they can provide a "feeling" that is not so bad for the people who want to consume but the problem is that drug addicts modify the drugs by adding many different things to have a higher "feeling". Durg addict always want more and more, at a certain time the drug is not enough hard for them so they take another that is harder and dangerous.
