    I had completely forgotten, but we studied cocaine in elementary school (again, ridiculous dramatic license): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_the_Stars

    The way I understood it was that it was used as a numbing agent for the eye (-caine as in novacaine, lidocaine, cocaine) and that the only reason they used it was because nobody had found anything better.
