There's this novel called Sick Puppy by Carl Hiaasen, right?
And there's this whole subplot where one of the gangsters has an obsession with Barbies. All he wants out of life is to have two women who he has remodeled into living Barbie dolls. It's as terrible as it sounds (but also funny, because it's a black comedy/noir set in Florida written by a former crime journalist).
Anyhow, he acquires rhino horn from a lobbyist who works for him. The powdered rhino horn is supposed to be an aphrodisiac. Put a very small amount into your wine and you'll Appreciate The Effects, as it were.
Only the two women who live with him who are becoming Barbies, they think you're supposed to snort it. They go on this massive, ill-advised binge where they snort all of the rhino horn up in one weekend along with every other drug available to gangsters in Florida in the early 1980s.
The women become convinced that this is the drug of all time, and that it is the best aphrodisiac human hands illegally stole from an animal.
I have no idea why I thought of that just now.
I love that theres an actual rhino horn there on the desk that has clearly been ground up. OFMD universe the horn of a rhinoceros is just made out of pure cocaine
