Was Cocaine Ever Marketed as a Medication?
Question by alannah i: Was cocaine ever marketed as a medication?
I do know that heroin addiction came about because they thought it was a treatment for morphine addiction. I was just wondering whether the same is true in the case of cocaine– if its proliferation started out because it was a treatment for something.

Yes, cocaine started out almost the same as heroin did. In the early 1900s, it was deemed as a main stimulant drug that was used in a lot of elixirs and tonics that were used for the treatment of various illnesses. It was also used as an anesthetic and due to the fact that it has mentally stimulating effects, it was used for the treatment of depression. Coca-cola even put this in their products and claimed it to be good for oneself.
