Addicitve qualities of cocaine are far more severe than alcohol. The health ramifications are likewise far worse. Back in the late nineteenth century everything had cocaine in it. Getting rid of it had alot to do creating with federal drug regulation. Bad stuff. It should stay illegal.
THC is not as addicitve as alcohol and its health effects are fire milder than alcohol. Maybe if it were legal the libs would be more likely to contemplate that each atom in their little finger is like a tiny little universe than getting involved in politics...
Well, it’s not like I want my kids to snort coke. I agree that recreational drugs are “bad.” They have terrible side effects. But historically, the issue with addictive cocaine has gone through human society from time to time.
For most of mankind’s history, recreational alcohol was obtained through fermentation, which yielded relatively low concentrations. However, in the 15th or 16th century, the process of distillation became much more prevalent. The result, at least in England, was gin. And a social malaise unlike anything seen before. Everything you read about the coke and meth epidemic in America today was written about gin in the 1600’s. The gin epidemic led to the founding of the Methodist Church to combat the social rot caused by gin alcoholism.
My point is that we get over in time. And I’m done working, so I can go home to my Beefeater’s, tonic water & lime.
