More people die from tobacco than coke, as a matter of fact, 2nd hand smoke kills more non-smokers than coke kills coke users... :2 cents:

50...

there are clearly more tobacco users in this country than coke users. legalize coke and you don't think the number of coke related deaths will rise in proportion with the number of users?

i'd rather see some hallucinogens legalized in the states. truly no harm there.

Well, decent point, but you're assuming that a lot of people would rush out and buy cocaine AND reach the lethal dose. This probably wouldn't be the case.

*related deaths.

I agree, too many people are idiots. Set the speed limit at 60 and they will drive 70, but remove the speed limit and they will drive 100+.

But for me, tobacco is the worst drug. For us non-smokers at least, I hate to smell the shit and even on outdoors events, like sport events, concerts, etc...It sucks to sit near a smoker.

It's also extremely addictive. I smoked for 21 years. It's been a few years now that I've been smoke-free. To anyone just starting......save yourself the hassle and stop now.

You should have eather a strong will to stop smoking or to be ill...

i worked alongside many very smart, successful guys who made lots of money and starting dabbling in small amounts of coke. i was the sales manager, and these were my very best guys.

and now 20 years later, not a SINGLE one of those guys has a pot to piss in. while i was investing in real estate they were putting it up their nose.

never was into dope myself, but from what i've seen with my own eyes i would say it's a loser.

i doubt coke will ever get legalized - the death risk around the drug is too high.


when i was in the life insurance business - hey didn't care about drugs like pot - only concern there was smoker's rates.
drugs like cocain had higher morbidity rates than occupations like paracute jumpers or coal miners and was uninsurable for 7 years if they found traces in you.

pot - i hope that gets legalized - it's not for me but i know sooo many people that use it for legal reasons and it helps their lives i honestly feel it should be legalized.

your nose starts getting bloody after binging for more than a couple of months.

fuck cociane

A year or so ago there were US marines helping clear "leaf" which was growing near the coastline of a South American country. They were burning the "greenery".

Anyways... mentioned this to a US govt officer who has extensive experience in "leaf" and the question fires back, "Is that what they found as a job for the US marines to do? Why the fuck don't they start getting more constuctive and give farmers something better to earn a living off?"

There is probably a point there - farmers gain little out of the drugs trade, they simply earn enough to live. What would a farmer choose to do? Earn out of a drug crop with the chance of it being burned down, or grow some stuff (legal) where they can earn a living? Chances are it's the latter.
