I also have known a few coke addicts through time, and most of the time the only person they mess up is themselves
you might be referring to meth...meth users are crazy because their brain changes. they literally can turn pyschotic, and in turn destroy everything around them...coke is nothing like that
I have even know crack addicts that lived normal healthy lives, they just like to smoke crack 4-5 times a day, like an alcoholic like to have 4-5 drinks a day

I agree Jace, I think with any drug it is the user that is destroyed. Yes, it is sad, but prohibiting it isn't going to solve the problem. In 1988 Congress said America would be drug from by 1995. It is over 10 years later and drug use has exploded. I think it is time to start harm reduction and education on drug use, and stop telling people to "just say no" because they obviously don't listen. Drugs are a fact of life that needs to be dealt with and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
As I mentioned, Nixon made the War on Drugs over 40 years ago, yet America is the #1 buyer of drugs on the planet. Does it work? You decide.
PS: Good to see you solved your drug problems.
