Brown-brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brown-brown is a form of powdered cocaine, cut with gunpowder. Commonly given to child soldiers in West African armed conflicts,[1] the drug gained notoriety after it was used by Nicholas Cage's character, Yuri Orlov, in the 2005 movie Lord of War[2]. Consumed by insufflation (inhalation through the nose), the drug has no different effects from regular cocaine, as the addition of gunpowder largely serves to add to an aura of toughness, though it may add to a placebo effect for the user.
