Coke, a.k.a. cocaine, was used pervasively in the early 1900's. The Southern states finally agreed to a federal ban because they were afraid that the negro would use it, become sexually enraged, and rape their white women.

Saw it on the History Channel
Revisionist history by those that want to legalize drugs, anyone?? Sounds suspicious to me...
I dont know about the conpsiracy theory but its origin is correct.
Hippies think they started coke in the 60's.
WRONG!
It was a widely used recreational drug before the roaring 20's. There was even an old B&W film I saw once called "Coke fiends" or "cocaine fiends". It was made in the 30's

Coca-cola was so called because it originally had minute amounts of coke in its recipe. Thats what gave it the "KICK".
As I recall, Coca-cola came out around 1902 or so.
Cant remember exactly.

And southern states have been afraid of the negro ever since Lincoln made his emancipation proclamation.
They have twisted every possible fact to put them back in their place since then. I guess it wouldnt suprise me that drug abuse would fall under that list too.

If you flip a (legitimate) coin and it comes up heads a thousand times in a row, its chance to come up heads on the next flip is 50%

Ingesting Visene eyedrops is potentially fatal

If the coin comes up heads 1,000 times in a row, something is wrong with the damn coin!

No, you're not right.

There exists a class of mathematical/computational problems for which, if a correct algorithm is found, another more efficient algorithm can always be found.

hey... be careful how many people you tell that you are a doctor... or people will start posting pictures of their rashes asking for advice...

Pobability and Odds are two entirely different things.

The snowiest place in California is Lassen Peak.

Further the Cascade Mountain Range is the snowiest montain range in the world.

On average mountains in norcal get over twice as much snow as mountains in socal for the same altitude.

Mountains in Alaska countain the highest vertical relief in the world, even dwarfing everest in terms of vertical relief.

And that, my friends, is why Las Vegas exists.
