Fun fact: Danish fishermen who smuggled Jewish people from Nazi controlled Denmark would sprinkle a mixture of dried rabbit blood and cocaine in their boats. When Nazis searched the boats with dogs the blood attracted the dogs and the cocaine numbed their sense of smell.

Where were they getting the cocaine from tho?
Their dealer.....probably......I don't know. I wasn't alive in the 1940s.
It was a relatively common prescription drug at the time. The first drug ban legislation in Denmark wasn't introduced until 1955.
Interesting. Was it administered intranasally?
