Cocaine is rife in many major cities. The police are using it, the public, the politicians. It’s shifted from a lower class thing to a fairly widespread middle class tipple. It’s also a hell of a drug. It’s cut with impure and obscure substances, but that doesn’t negate the actual addictiveness of cocaine itself. It’s not like weed where there are several components to addiction. It’s a hell of a drug. And when you really understand what that means it’s a bit too late. I’m all for reducing the influence on gangs and street peddlers. But selling cocaine, even if it’s cut with government mandated and safe agents seems a bit too far. I personally see it more in the medicinal methadone category than the recreational “let’s legalise everything” marijuana category
