The Dr. Junkie show does not offer medical advice.
In this episode I take another shot at describing how cocaine works in the body. I talk about where it comes from and how it's produced, why it is so extreme in its effects, and how we can regulate and decriminalize it to put all illegal drug dealers out of business overnight. Plus, I discuss sleep cycles and why they are so important, Sigmund Freud's dark outlook on life and why we can thank cocaine for his conclusions, what happens when we mix cocaine and alcohol.

For more on sleep, check out Dr. Matthew Walker's book, Why We Sleep.
For more on the history of coca farming, cocaine production, cocaine addiction, and all sorts of other stuff, check out my book, Dr. Junkie: One Man's Story of Addiction and Crime that will Challenge Everything you know about the War on Drugs.
