I'm not sure if it was Volkow, or even if she was a PI. She does a lot of research at the NIH on drugs of abuse, but I'm not sure it's her paper. I am quite certain the study exists, because I recall her talking about the findings, and then reading the abstract.

I have high confidence that you will never find this study, and that it doesn’t exist. I’m not accusing you of malice, but I think you must be misremembering something. But I’d love to be wrong. That would be a very interesting result.

  It was in a context of a lecture, it could be that she referenced multiple papers. but, like it or not, caffeine is a psychostimulant, and psychostimulant substitution is fairly well established, idk whats the controversy. if you want to find it, you might have to crawl thru every reference of volkow's 100+ papers on cocaine.

    > if you want to find it, you might have to crawl thru every reference of volkow's 100+ papers on cocaine. If you want to use the reference, I suggest you find it and validate it exists before trying to make some claim. I also don’t think anything malicious but think it’s more likely that you misunderstand something than the paper exists and you can’t find it. As a reader trying to determine if your claim is bullshit it’s not worth the risk that you’re wrong for me to exhaustively review all 100+ papers to make sure it doesn’t exist. As the saying goes, “If you hear hoofbeats outside your door, it’s probably a horse not a zebra.”

  I wasn't able to find a specific research study yet but here's this >Intravenous caffeine also resembles cocaine, she points out. https://archive.fo/bLX94 https://archive.fo/bLX94

    Thanks. I wonder how much it resembles cocaine, and at what dosage? This is at least a bit of support regardless.
