It was discovered by South American tribes in the ancient times and was first synthesized in a German laboratory from dried Peruvian coca leaf.  For some time, cocaine became openly legal to sell because of its medicinal properties. In fact, it drew a massive boom among scientists, medical men, consumers, businessmen and even the world’s leading pharmaceutical firms. It was proven to have therapeutic effects that can ease out asthma, mental illness, digestive problems, depression and fatigue.

However, because of its addictive properties, it was inevitable that cocaine use grew to abuse.  The more serious public health concerns posed by widespread cocaine consumption could not be addressed. The efforts were useless because the law enforcers could not control its levels of use. In fact, regulation of the legal drug industry produced a series of unintended effects that may well have made some aspects of the cocaine problem worse than before.
