Maybe. Maybe not. How many doctors would have said that depressives were 'just getting high' on ketamine and then dismissed their reports?
But, would cocaine's effect still only be temporary if you took it in lower doses, in a controlled release fashion?
Some studies suggest that what really makes cocaine abusable is the rate at which it occupies the dopamine transporter. I.e. snorting it gives a massive, sudden inhibition of DAT resulting in a huge surge of dopamine.
The only difference between recreational cocaine and theaputic Ritalin, is perhaps dose. The same thing goes for recreational meth and therapeutic Dexedrine.
