Confessions of a coca fiend

"The story of my 10-day coca binge is short and, I'm afraid, not terribly sordid. Just the same, if I'm asked to take a drug test anytime soon I'm probably going to have a bit of explaining to do."

Thus begins John Flinn's intriguing "Confessions of a coca fiend" on the SFGate Web site.

If you've ever wondered about the various uses of coca, this story by the executive editor of Travel should be required reading -- entertaining and informative.
