<p>In 1860, the alkaloid cocaine was isolated from coca leaves. English pharmacist William Martindale published his study on coca in response to contemporary medical interest in the use of cocaine. He noted the history of the use of coca leaves among South American Indians who chewed the leaves to stave off hunger and exhaustion.</p>

<p>Cocaine was a breakthrough medical drug because of its application as a local anesthetic. By preventing pain even when the patient was awake, it made some types of surgery possible. Yet, physicians had begun to report on the drug&#8217;s tendency to create a habit, in which patients craved repeated doses.

<p>Before the 20th century, regulations did not require manufacturers of ready-made remedies to list ingredients in their medicines. Perhaps taking advantage of the popularity of the drug, Lloyd Manufacturing did advertise the cocaine in their toothache drops. The promised instantaneous relief was likely provided by the anesthetic properties of cocaine.

<p>The coca wine Vin Mariani was overtaken in popularity by Coca-Cola. Pharmacist John Pemberton created the drink as a non-alcoholic alternative to his Peruvian Wine Coca, after prohibition was adopted in Atlanta in 1886. By the 1890s the drink had become so popular that numerous imitations, with names alluding to their coca content&#8212;such as Koke, Cafe-Cola, and Kos-Kola&#8212;flooded the market. </p>

<p>The coca wine Vin Mariani was overtaken in popularity by Coca-Cola. Pharmacist John Pemberton created the drink as a non-alcoholic alternative to his Peruvian Wine Coca, after prohibition was adopted in Atlanta in 1886. By the 1890s the drink had become so popular that numerous imitations, with names alluding to their coca content&#8212;such as Koke, Cafe-Cola, and Kos-Kola&#8212;flooded the market. </p>

<p>South American Indians chewed coca leaves to stave off hunger and exhaustion. Waterfront laborers first sniffed cocaine in its powdered form to sustain their energy during long shifts loading and unloading ships. Employers distributed cocaine to miners, workers on plantations, construction crews, and factory employees, as a way to increase productivity.

<p>In the 1980s, a smokeable form of cocaine, known as crack, gained notoriety. While rival gangs fought violently for control of the illicit market, sensational media coverage blamed a crack epidemic for a rise in crime. The ensuing panic led to long prison sentences for users as well as dealers.

<div class="overview">
<p>In the late 19th century, physicians recommended cocaine for the treatment of hay fever, asthma, and melancholy, and as a cure for alcoholism and opiate addiction. At this time, the typical cocaine user was a professional man who had been prescribed the drug or a physician administering his own doses. Widespread use of the drug soon demonstrated the addictive potential of the substance. Nevertheless, cocaine&#8217;s low cost made it popular among poorer groups and young people in saloons and dance halls. This association with thrill-seekers and poor laborers fuelled successive waves of panic about the drug during the 20th century.
