# Über Coca is published in 1884 as Freud's public paper recommending cocaine

Date: 1884

## The fact

In 1884 [Freud](/people/sigmund-freud) published Über Coca and recommended cocaine in a medical paper. The instrument is that paper. Later controlled-substance law is not 1884. Sigmund Freud's documented role is: He wrote the 1884 paper and recommended cocaine in print. Later anaesthetic uses by Koller are neighbouring and named. He did not run a cartel.

## Context

Koller is the named neighbour for ocular anaesthesia. Sharing that credit is required. The Salpêtrière term is a different row. The setting of Über Coca is published in 1884 as Freud's public paper recommending cocaine is the public file around 1884-07-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver health-system-capacity is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## Significance

Worsening path from Über Coca is published in 1884 as Freud's public paper recommending cocaine on 1884-07-01. A public medical recommendation of cocaine is a health-harm path of medium weight. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Shared responsibility is part of Über Coca is published in 1884 as Freud's public paper recommending cocaine. Naming Sigmund Freud does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1884-07-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

The attached driver is health-system-capacity. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
