The drug scene is not just a story of dark alleys and lost souls, as stigmatization in the Czech Republic often "unofficially" announces. Its tentacles extend to the highest levels of society, including politics. Cocaine, a symbol of luxury and power, has become a common part of life. For some, the often disturbing world where cocaine and politics go hand in hand is more real than society can imagine.

We often learn about cocaine that it is itself considered a high class drug. Which is sometimes a motivation to use in itself for clients. Its high price and exclusivity made it attractive to those who wanted more than survival - they wanted to rule. In the Czech Republic, cocaine in high politics is nothing new. Scandals connected with the use of this drug among the elite occasionally break through to the surface and shock the public, in our professional society it is no longer a big surprise.

Cocaine's known short-term effects include euphoria, increased energy, and unwavering self-confidence—an ideal combination for high-ranking officials. They often face immense stress and pressure. Cocaine offers an easy, if deceptive, escape. However, long-term use brings dark consequences: heart problems, psychological disorders and the destruction of personal and professional relationships.
