POT TV – Author and drug war historian, David Malmo-Levine, discussed his most recent article on the history of coca leaf and cocaine, “The Amazing World of the Coca Leaf“.
Mainstream headlines on cocaine are an addictive repetition of numb power plays, kingpins, cowboys, crime, and junkies, but the key to mama coca is much deeper.
David Malmo-Levine took a reefer madness-free view of the coca leaf, and toured hundreds of images and years of history to provide potheads with a primer on the real dope on coke. What medical use does coca have? Is cocaine in Coca-Cola? What do coca and cannabis have in common?
Enjoy “The Amazing World of the Coca Leaf“.
