Podnětný příběh o Freudově užívání kokainu, jeho vlivu na Freudovu práci, vztahu mezi kokainem a psychiatrií a o počátcích "války proti drogám". Než mladého Sigmunda Freuda napadlo posadit pacienty na pohovku, dával si kokain. V zoufalé touze rychle získat reputaci si přečetl a bez pochybností přijal tvrzení americké farmaceutické společnosti Parke-Davis o jejím novém "zázračném léku", kokainu. Objednal si gram, a přestože léta tvrdil, že není návykový, první dávka ho přivedla k další a další, a tak si na něj vypěstoval závislost, která trvala celkem patnáct let. Tato kniha, která zasazuje jeho kokainové experimenty do tradice introspektivního užívání drog, k níž patřili William James, Aldous Huxley, Havelock Ellis a Timothy Leary, zkoumá jeho vliv na Freudovo pozdější myšlení a následný vztah mezi psychologií, psychiatrií, drogami a kulturou. Zahrnuje také analýzu moderního obchodu s kokainem. Vzhledem k tomu, že i prezident Obama, který sám v minulosti kokain užíval, uznává oprávněnost zpochybňování globální "války proti drogám", je kniha, kterou držíte v ruce, aktuální a skrytou historií toho, jak tato válka začala.
