> ... cocaine ... psychologically powerful but physically nonaddictive ...

I wonder if the author of this bit of nonsense has ever seen someone with
a heavy cocaine habit?  I once worked briefly for someone doing about
$5,000 per month worth.  That's over three grams per day.  Just inhaling
it was insufficient; only freebasing was satisfactory.  This person would
have had a good business if the profits from it (and then some) weren't
going "up in smoke".  Not a pleasant memory.

Of course, what do I know, I think CAFFEINE is addictive ...
