Students at a London university have been offered the chance to take cocaine as part of a clinical trial examining the drug's effects on the body.

Undergraduates at King's College London were sent an invitation to enrol in the trial which will involve "nasal administration" of the class A drug under the supervision of researchers.

Potential participants were advised that there is "no direct benefit from taking part", but that they could expect "reasonable financial compensation" for their time, effort and expenses.

The trial, which will involve seven hospital visits over 120 days, is only open to men aged 25-40 who are not normally users of recreational drugs.

I wonder what else there is to learn about cocaine. It had been around for over a century, after all.
