the use of cocaine by high schoolers declined from 1985 to 1992, and it's the lowest it's ever been. Since 2009 the cocaine abuse rates have been steady at 1.5 million people 12 years of age or older. Education plays a huge factor in the younger demographic since kids that are aware of the risks of cocaine are less likely to use it. This became evident from 2 different surveys that were taken during the same time period but one showed increasing rates of cocaine abuse while the other showed a decreasing rate.

Cocaine was once used by Native Peruvians in religious ceremonies. In 1532, Spanish soldiers invaded Peru and used cocaine on Indian mine laborers to control and exploit them. In 1886, John Pemberton made coca leaves the main ingredient in Coca-Cola. Since there were so many cocaine related deaths, in 1922, cocaine was officially banned. Cocaine got to Asia, Europe and America when Columbian drug cartels shipped 500-800 tons of cocaine every year in the early 1990s. Soon smugglers and many illegal drug organizations started to sell and export cocaine making it the second most illegally trafficked drug in the world as of today.
