In researching my @CoffeeCocaCola book, I learned the wild history of @CocaColaCo’s hand in the UN negotiations on the prohibition of coca. Read my illustrated book for more info, or see an essay I posted about it here: rmcortes.medium.com/how-coke-chang…

🇧🇴Bolivia recently challenged the UN’s coca leaf ban. This process could end 70 years of racist discrimination of millions of coca leaf users, many of them indigenous people 🌿#ANewLeaf ✍️@John_WOLA @MartinJelsmaTNI wola.org/analysis/coca-…

A Children’s Book about Marijuana@justaplant·
In 2005, no one would touch this. I self-published and became the #1 best-selling children’s book talking about marijuana in a responsible, scientifically-based, fun way. 4 editions later… it’s my book 🎂 today & I’d like to thank my new publisher @AkashicBooks for the journey.

Duterte turn 78 yesterday. I can only hope he’s prosecuted before he escapes justice in this world. Some 30,000 Filipinos would still be alive today were it not for his murderous drug war.

The International Criminal Court rejects the bid of the Philippine government to suspend an ongoing investigation into former president Rodrigo Duterte’s violent war on drugs while appeal proceedings are being held. Full story: rappler.com/nation/interna…

This article on secret coca plants misses a crazier origin story: @CocaColaCo, interested in #cocaine content & leaf flavors, was permitted to grow coca in the United States in 1964. Over 20 years the project grew into these how-to-destroy-coca US govt experiments...🧵
@DougMcVay.bsky.social@dougmcvay

If you were wondering whether it's possible to grow coca in a greenhouse in North America, apparently the answer is yes. From the NY Times in 1988: US Secretly Grows Coca to Find Way to Destroy Cocaine's Source nytimes.com/1988/06/12/us/…

@jimroy @BrianRoemmele @CocaColaCo Interestingly, it was H.J. Anslinger, Commissioner of Narcotics and infamous anti-marijuana zealot, who helped @CocaColaCo in ending a prohibition on “Merchandise No. 5”. Their relationship would developing quite intimately over the decades to come. Take a closer look @elonmusk

@jimroy @BrianRoemmele Yes, but coca tinctures & cocaine would become illegal by 1914. @CocaColaCo thus began working w a German cocainemaker in Maywood, NJ to create a coca “flavoring extract.” This part of the “secret formula” was dubbed “Merchandise No. 5.”

Reminded me of experiments by Professor of Ophthalmology H. Knapp, who injected cocaine into the nose, mouth, urethra, and... um, “For the sake of completeness I injected cocaine also into the rectum. The sensibility, which was not great anyhow, was reduced."

A new way to produce cocaine in the leaves of a genetically modified tobacco plant could make it easier for researchers to study the drug. #Echobox=1669374975" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/234856…

@StarWarsVisComp @NRLawson99 I’d add this ol tweet by Pablo that suggests it might not be so much a legal issue between Disney and George as it is an accommodation to him out of respect.

@NRLawson99 Kennedy said they wouldn’t make more changes, that interview lacked context. That’s the only fact about the Original Trilogy we have.

Our baby given the choice goes for the books. Sees the toys and stuffies, keeps grabbing books individually off the book shelf and handing them to us to read to him. Got really upset when the one book he lost interest in on the first page was “first book of sushi”
