If you remember my last video, when the US government withdrew from Vietnam and Southeast
Asia in 1975, the amount of heroin in the cities in the United States began to decrease.
In this video, I jumped directly into the war in Afghanistan and the resurgence, well,
the second resurgence of heroin.
But today, to talk about cocaine, we need to go back to just that point, in the mid-70s.
Ruby.
Half a century had passed since the illegalization of cocaine when it began to appear again.
No one had even heard of it, less seen this new drug.
It turns out that the prohibition worked quite well until the government began to work against itself.
Finally, there was an exclusive drug for the ruling class.
The hippies rejected cocaine, especially for its high price, but the new generation
of disco loved it.
This drug doesn't make you hungry or sleepy, and it doesn't take away the desire to cut
your hair.
No, it gives you energy and confidence, and new ideas for new businesses, and that same
confidence to believe in your own bad ideas.
And also the confidence to use this in Empire Strikes Back.
Studio 54 opened its doors in 1977, the same year Eric Clapton released the song
Cocaine.
Little by little, the drug was entering the mainstream, but still something very special,
something imported from a very exotic place, and that's why it cost hundreds of dollars
for a tiny amount.
But this high price and exclusivity is exactly what young professional urban
professionals, or yuppies as we call them. It's the same people who enter a restaurant
and order the most expensive bottle of wine on the menu, not knowing the brand, not knowing
if it goes well with their food, no more because it is the most expensive.
Besides, marijuana, LSD, and heroin had images of drugs for weak people,
but cocaine, hmm, quite the opposite. This was the drug of successful people. And best
And most of all, it doesn't cause addiction!
We must inform you that cocaine is extremely poorly addictive.
But cocaine powder is only a part of the story.
Inhale cocaine through the nose, it says,
but the nose can absorb much less of the drug, much less quickly, than the lungs.
While the wealthy gringos were in the bathroom of Studio 54 inhaling the powder,
in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador,
a new form of the drug was taking hold in the neighborhoods.
The base paste.
Cocaine is an alkaloid that is naturally found in the coca leaf,
but to extract it you need to use solvents.
Solvents like ether, sulfuric acid,
soda caustic, cement, and gasoline.
Things that you definitely want to put in your body, right?
It's what makes you successful.
When the final destination of the drug was the American market,
the producers took one more step in the purification process,
obtaining cocaine chloride.
This is the saline form of alkaloid, a powder that can be inhaled
because it is easily absorbed through the mucous membranes.
But this inhalable cocaine was only produced for the capricious market of North America.
If the final destination for the drug was South America itself,
