Caffeine, ephedrine, and cocaine are central nervous system stimulants, and all can be considered psychoactive, yet only cocaine was described in depth in this chapter.
How do these alkaloids act on the body? How do they differ in potency, and why is cocaine the only one of the three stimulants considered a major drug problem?
