Cocaine "is no worse than whiskey" and is only illegal because it comes from Latin America, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whose nation is the world's biggest cocaine producer and exporter.
Am I nuts, or would legal coke just result in people switching to meth and other amphetamines?
Idk. I have watched people discover Darknet markets for years now, and the most common line of thinking that I see whenever someone tries good cocaine for the first time is “I wish I could sustain this feeling for longer, and cheaper.” Everyone is always eventually disappointed by what cocaine can offer.
Yeah cocaine is like the most overrated drug ever. So overpriced and that shit lasts like 40 min maximum before you need to do more (and the diminishing returns are immediate).
Not a fan of stimulants in general, but coke is definitely more often than not a status thing (in the US at least). You have to be rich to be able to afford that habit.
Yep. Plus they did it by weight, and were about as dishonest about it as you can get… Most of the weight is baking soda, but they weigh the entire rock anyways.
But they do (or at least did) that with everything. I remember that teenager in Texas being threatened with significant prison time for weed brownies because they weighed the entire brownies rather than just considering the THC content.

Probably! And the nice thing about meth is you can manufacture it in your own home!
Fun facts about meth
Seriously, don’t fucking try meth, and especially don’t try to make it in your own home. That shit will destroy you, and I say that as the child of a former meth head.
Every time I get a cold and have to stand in line for sudafed I think about how meth has inconvenienced me in a (relatively minor) but super annoying way. I think I’d rather people do weed or coke so I can shop unobstructed.

Crack was much cheaper. This is why crack was so heavily criminalized while powder cocaine was not.

My mother hung out with meth heads for a good portion of my childhood (the shit you don’t notice as a kid because it’s “normal”), and I was much worse off for it. In the last year I lived with her, I found a shake and bake lab in the basement, which freaked me the fuck out, cuz that’s how you burn your fucking house down and die or end up in the hospital with burns over a significant portion of your body
