Do you have any idea how many white collared coke users there are in North America? Of course they're not going to stand up and say it enriched their lives... it's a controlled substance, not something you want to put the spotlight on. Especially if you're a respected businessman.

certainly all of those things are true. Does that mean that drug use is somehow now more of a good thing because "religion can destroy lives too"? What is your point?
You are attempting to water the issue down by giving examples of OTHER things that can "also destroy lives". A catastrophic car wreck can destroy lives too. So what. I thought this thread was about drugs.
This is the typical fallback defense plan of drug supporters:
'Well, this thing and that thing and the other things also fuck you up, therefore drugs aren't that bad. Plus, this other thing is much worse."
That's not a defense. That's a cop out.
