Coca leaves were brought to Europe by the Spanish conquistadores, and cocaine was isolated from the leaves in the 1860s. In 1863, the French chemist Angelo Mariani created the tonic Vin Mariani , an extract of coca in Bordeaux wine. The non-alcoholic version Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by the American Pharmacist John Pemberton, who mixed extracts of coca leaves and caffeine-containing cola nuts with soda. With the introduction of the first anti-drug laws in the USA in 1906, however, only decocainized leaves were used for the production of Coca-Cola. [Pg.7]

There were relatively few restrictions on drug availability or drug use prior to the beginning of the 20th century (an exception is Islamic law s edicts on alcohol consumption). Occasional efforts were made to decrease or eliminate certain substances, but these efforts tended to be short-lived or ineffective. For example, initial introductions to Europe of tobacco, coffee, and tea all met some resistance. Rodrigo de Jerez, a colleague of Columbus and thought to be the first European to smoke tobacco, was jailed in Spain because the authorities felt the devil had overtaken him (Whitaker, 1987). Also, at different times efforts were made to ban the use of coffee and tea. [Pg.40]
