Talk:Vin Mariani

Where can I get some of this stuff?

A bottle, or maybe a case?

It's going to be available again pretty soon... http://www.cocanaturally.com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.251.200.217 (talk) 15:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Missing information

The article speaks in past tense (as one would expect), but nowhere does it say when it was discontinued - which is an essential piece of information.

Oh, and by the way: the article appears to be copied, from beginning to end, from the website cited by the poster above. I thought that was prohibited by Wikipedia?

It looks like it is the other way around. The website ("© 2007-2008") shows a version of the WP article as is was in 2007, slightly different from the very first version of 20 July 2006 - Wikigi | talk to me | 07:09, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Effects?

I, like a lot of you, wonder what a cocaine "high" from Vin Mariani would be like. You would think that ingesting it orally would yield considerably less noticeable results than when injected or snorted, but since Vin Mariani combined it with alcohol, how would that change things? Considering all of the factors mentioned (and not mentioned)—the concentration of cocaine, purity of the cocaine, the percentage of alcohol, the (presumed) lethal dose, etc.—would it be relevant to include an "effects" section in the article?

It would probably just feel like being drunk and also on cocaine. The fact that the cocaine is administered per os would lead to slower, less efficient absorption. The other alkaloids from the coca might have some effect. Additionally, the concomitant administration of cocaine and ethanol has, I think, been shown to lead to the in-vivo formation of cocaethylene, but I'm not sure how relevant that is. 70.30.147.143 (talk) 16:43, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
