I'm inclined to agree and state that: yes there was! Fancy that. I wonder what INXS etc were snorting in the 80's? Cheers poledriver!

Had a good laugh which is always a positive thing. I think OND43X may have been talking about personal experience with the Peruvian marching powder.
Taking a leaf out of your book these days poledriver and staying sober... getting a bit to grey and don't want to look like Charlie Sheen. I will say that "coke" has been a "mainstream" drug since at least the 60's in wealthier circles. In the late 1800's you could buy all kinds of cocaine containing goodies OTC at your local chemist. Banned in UK, Oz after WW1 along with H and morphine, see underbellies take on the razor gangs whatever that particular series was called. Also troops in WW1 were given cocaine before going over the top to increase their fighting zeal, hence a ready made market of strung out diggers the razor gangs catered to post WW1. 1961 international convention on narcotics= world wide condemnation.
