Thanks for the info on Cocaethylene—something that I wasn’t aware of.
You’re welcome. There are many people who use cocaine and alcohol together just go to any major city bar or club. The rationale is obvious - they offset each other, and you can drink more without getting sleepy or sloppy, and the drink potentiates the cocaine as the booze makes it harder for the liver to filter it out.
Aside from the fact that this will increase risk of heart attack and stroke, in some it will induce psychosis. Cocaine alone can cause some psychosis from sleep deprivation or just because of its properties.
Anyway, just posted it because it goes to the thesis that nearly all of these mass shooters may have been triggered to a psychotic break by some combination of psychotic drugs either prescription, or illicit, or combination of drugs and alcohol. I think it was you who said above (and many have said and agree) we don’t have a gun problem we have a drug problem.
