Cocaine "is no worse than whiskey" and is only illegal because it comes from Latin America, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whose nation is the world's biggest cocaine producer and exporter.
I’d say it varies from person to person. This is all anecdotal but I’ve known people who are just casual coke users who indulge occasionally and I’ve known people who have died because of alcohol.
Personally I’d never try cocaine for a whole host of reasons (0 regulation, no idea what I’m actually taking, I’m the type that would get addicted) but I’m still in favour of it’s legalization/decriminalization. Of course ideally this would be alongside education programs (not DARE style scaremongering)
My reasons for not taking cocaine are the same as yours. I don’t think it should be criminalized either. I guess my position of ignorance thought one “dose” of cocaine was more likely to get you hooked than one “dose” of alcohol. That’s not very materialistic off me
I’m an outlier I think. I’ve done coke a bunch, but I only do .15 or so per night of getting just zooted off’a it. I find it very easy to stop doing it. But I test my stuff (test kit, fent strips, and purity ampules) and when I do get it from the person, it’s extremely pure. It’s so much less fiendy than something like MCAT for me. If I have some around, I’ll do it often, but only a little every day. If it’s not around, I don’t crave it.
I have good friends that have a WILDLY different experience with it and would go broke if they also had a potentially infinite supply.
