Cocaine is making a comeback, driven by European demand that has overtaken the US as the world’s largest market. In Colombia, the world’s largest producer, cocaine production rose 53% btw 2022 and 2023. on.ft.com/4mnbjAc

Alcohol-related deaths are spiking. So why don’t we take alcohol addiction more seriously? Alcohol kills nearly 500 Americans every day, and nearly 3 million have an alcohol use disorder. An addiction specialist whose brother died of alcohol-related causes describes how doctors can help.

Europeans like to pretend they're smarter than Americans, so why dont they just legalize it? Cocaine is weak sauce anyway.

Very sorry about your loss, but obviously criminalizing it wouldn't have prevented that. What legalization and regulation would do is standardize strength and ensure that it's not cut with more dangerous drugs.

No. Just stating that if Coke wasn't so freely available and socially acceptable, some kids might still have a dad to play football with.

"Freely available" lol wya? Personal and emotional anecdotes are not a sensible way to decide public policy. But i get it. Have lost many friends to drugs, mostly alcohol though. It sucks, but humans also love drugs. Who can blame them?

Weeabi @weeabi.bsky.social

It is rife where we live and very few know the dangers of mixing alcohol with cocaine. Ergo they don't recognise the symptoms if they're in trouble. They use coke to "sober up" and deaths from toxicity are rising rapidly. Nobody even attempts to educate and, as you have gathered, it infuriates me!
