International Colombia’s president: Legalize cocaine, it’s no worse than whiskey

[Hog-train]

I would rather be in a car with someone coked up driving than drunk tho

Yes but people can go drinking their entire lives for decades and they just slowly get more unhealthy. Coke is different - I've personally seen it ruin many lives.

Smoking cocaine is a waste unless you cook it to make crack which you probably need an ounce

All you need to turn it into rock is a tiny pinch of baking soda, and you can rock even less then a gram. Depending on how pure it is you barely have any loss in weight. You can even add more baking soda after it starts to gel up and whip it really fast before it sets and turn a gram into 2.

Used to indulge ocassionally like 10 years ago and never felt too addicting tbh, but I guess it hits some ppl different.

The biggest issue imo is when you combine it with alcohol it cancels your drunk state so you need to keep drinking more and more while doing more and more coke, its a viscious cycle and the hangovers are fuckin nasty.

A gram sure, just saying it can be done. I wouldn't recommend rocking up more then an ounce at a time. Its the perfect amount to fit into those old glass Mayo jars. Ghetto Bain Marie.

Is it even legal in Colombia? Maybe the Latins can legalize it as a test bed. That being said, avacados are legal and cartels run that shit. Half of all cigarette sales are black market.

You can argue it will save money from combating it. You can even tax it but I don't buy eliminating the criminal element in any recreational pleasure product.

Its rediculous to think making a highly addictive drug legal will help in any way. Sure it will get rid of some of the cartels trying to get it into the US, and on paper that sounds like less crime. But think of all the addicts that will become addicted and rob and steal to afford their addiction. Its a fucking stupid argument to even discuss.

I’m on the fence, in a way I don’t think it is right to punish people that use a drug that the government has on arbitrary grounds deemed unlawful, while people can consume alcohol that is very detrimental to society and individuals.

I have a friend that went from a well paid white collar job, a wife and two kids to unemployment, divorce, no contact with his kids…due to substance abuse that I think can be attributed to a damaged childhood.

But then again, he could have used alcohol instead and ended up in the same situation.

All the people I know who have a coke problem also always drink copious amounts. They're also always drinking when they do coke.
I've done coke a couple times but it was never my thing.

Do coke addicts really do that? Heroin, meth, and crack addicts sure, but I never heard of people who are so into coke that they steal to get more coke.

I've personally seen more fuckery involved with alcohol.

I get where he's coming from; cocaine is, after all, the third best thing to come out of Columbia.

These are the first two,

So does coke.

The first time I did coke and I finally got in bed with this chick I've been trying to bang and couldn't get it up. So fuck coke and booze, smoke weed instead.

I don't think that highly criminalize coke is best solution at all.
Coke in reality is easier to drop use than weed, smoking or alco. Even without doctors btw.

Another aspect is that dealers loves to mixed this with some shit ...and this is very risky.
Another kind of risk is if you will get instead of s***t real one ....medical grade stuff and then.... there will be risk cos you maybe will be done.... if too much.

It might be also used clandestinely in order to subjugate someone without physical violence if to " load " object till almost ' heaven ' really quickly.

Oh', they're out there. Maybe not in the same numbers(or reported honestly. "Crack" gets the headlines), but there are. It's a very powerful drug that will lead to some people throwing their lives away on it, and when you bottom out and still crave the drug, you're more than likely gonna get up to some shady shit to get it. You also gotta figure that a lot of coke addicts make the natural transition to crack one they can't afford those fancy 8 balls anymore, so it might also be a joint venture of the drug.
