IRL cocaine is about as safe as caffeine and can be consumed in beverages (tea, Coca-cola, etc.) by healthy people without any real negative issues.
Right now in 2023 we as adults should have two options for beverage stimulants,
caffeine and cocaine. Basically the beverage market has been artificially cut in half for no good reason.

- galangalalgol 4y agoYeah, if you powdered pure caffeine and did a line you'd be in a bad way too I'd guess? The ld50 for caffeine is only roughly double that of cocaine. Pure nicotine has half the ld50 of cocaine. It just no one boils down tobacco juice into oil and drips it into their eyes for a bigger hit. At least not more than once. Essentially all plant based recreational substances found in their dilute natural forms absent any breeding programs to concentrate intoxicants, are probably relatively safe. It is the processing that is an issue. The alcohol buzz from eating overripe fruit is probably even innocuous. Edit: there had to be exceptions, and I think jimsonweed is probably one now that I go looking. The recreational dose even in raw form is way too close to the lethal one.
