TY - JOUR T1 - “Eating Kola” JF - Ghana Studies JO - Gha Stu SP - 143 LP - 155 DO - 10.3368/gs.21.1.143 VL - 21 IS - 1 AU - Edmund Abaka Y1 - 2018/01/01 UR - https://gs.uwpress.org/gs.uwpress.org/content/21/1/143.abstract N2 - The importance of kola as a psychoactive substance has not been a focus of analysis despite the contemporary interest in licit and illicit drugs. The only exception is Paul Lovejoy’s “ ‘Coffee’ of the Central Sudan.”1 This paper thus seeks to highlight the importance of kola as a “drug” and to stress the need for more research on the medicinal properties of kola.
