About this listen

🍃💊 Long before it became infamous, cocaine began as a sacred Andean plant — chewed quietly by ancient people for strength, ritual, and survival. Over centuries, explorers, scientists, doctors, and empires transformed it from a leaf into a global obsession, reshaping medicine, crime, and culture.
Close your eyes and drift through a history both fascinating and tragic — a story of discovery, ambition, and the dangerous power of one small plant.

👉 Boring History For Sleep | Calm voices, big history, no glamorization. 💤
