Hooked 8: Cocaethylene

Written by Nigel Brunsdon on 27 July 2009.

Hooked Podcast subscribe in iTunesI often wonder how many drugs workers still don't really know about Cocaethylene, and of course the general public is still largely oblivious to its existence. Which is why we decided to dedicate an entire show to it.

Cocaethylene is of course produced in the body when you mix cocaine use and alcohol. During the show we cover the effects its going to have both physically and mentally as well as talk about the poor levels of information available to the general public.

You can either download the episode directly or better still you can subscribe to the podcast via iTunes which will automatically get each new episode as it comes out.

Via iTunesIf you're not someone who has listened to podcasts before, or if you have never even heard of them then we have an introductory article that explains all here.

Shownotes

Nottingham Trent University did a great campaign talking about the dangers of cocaethylene.

The wine that Pope Leo XIII like that contained both wine and cocaine was Vin Mariani.

Ohh and finally the really poor wikipedia page for cocaethylene.
