[edit]

First sentence of the “Crack cocaine” section is incomplete; it does not state for what purpose cocaine HCl needs to be heated to 197C. Add “in order to be smoked” 80.193.5.39 (talk) 22:17, 26 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

cocaine mummies

[edit]

At least a passing mention should be made of the alleged presence of cocaine in Egyptian mummies. See, e.g., the Wik article on Henut Taui.Kdammers (talk) 04:26, 16 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hep C from money?

[edit]

This has got to be the most fear mongering statement I've ever heard. The source is from cocaine.org which is not a reputable source of information. I feel it should be removed from the statement. Mattman723 13:30, 25 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

In the side effect section is the following statement

"In 2025, the Liberty House Clinic in the United Kingdom noted that chronic cocaine usage in fact had a higher risk of death than alcoholism.[117]"

That entire statement should be removed for the following reasons A) Liberty house is a substance abuse treatment program, not a research organization or scholarly source

B) The actual cited source doesn't offer any statistical analysis or supporting documentation. It is just a blog post/opinion piece. It doesn't pass muster.

Should be replaced by nothing. HelloHello1762 (talk) 18:21, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
