That's false.
And yet you fall to right-wing narrative about drug use... weird.
I am a huge opponent of alcohol (you could not pay me to take in that shit), but it is pretty clear that cocaine is the worse substance of the two. It is an opioid afterall...
Absolute numbers are bullshit when comparing a rarely used illegal drug and a heavily used legal one.
I'd still say treating all drugs as universally bad is a very safe valuation and even one that protects against what you describe here. If a person never consumes any drug, then the person will never get to "know that being high can pacify that feeling". That does not solve the core issue of course (a lack of understanding and empathy with people who deviate from the norm), but drug consumption is not a solution to that either.
You need to elaborate the mechanisms in which you believe coke causes more harm than alcohol
You're pretty transparent, do you know that? You're just going to keep changing the subject whenever someone makes you look foolish. You just accused me of threatening to beat people up that I disagree with, and now you want help with your geography homework. FOH 😂
Uh, nah
They came to the conclusion first, they'll do the research later (or never) lol
Cocaine is not an opioid lol. Where the fuck did you even hear that
I understood perfectly...
...it seems you didn't understand what I wrote though. Unless you meant to put across a vile and callous response like this.
Using broader issues to beat down on and shame people turning to drugs in desperation, while ignoring the disproportionate way in which drug use and abuse manifests.
Weird, people doing what they can to continue to exist in a fucked system do what they can to exist even if it means the briefest respite.
It's common for it to be cut with something else with a 50-50 ratio, but usually it's harmless stuff like creatine. Infact I don't think any street dealer would sell an uncut drug when they can just put something else in to make more money per gram.
I'm not the one coming into a thread on drug deaths to look down on people who take drugs and shame them. If you want to talk about sexual violence against minors, talk about it. Or do you only campaign against it when it allows you to feel morally superior to people who take illegal drugs, many of whom are people who have experienced sexual abuse and violence as children.
They were doing cocaine at a party. There's not even a reason to assume these people were addicts at all.
There's no such thing as a legal vendor though.
More addictive, more often deadly (relatively speaking), exclusively consumed in a way that the consumer is intoxicated.
Of course I am talking about recreational drug use. I think treating them as universally bad and to be avoided like the plague is the right thing to do, but at the same time, prosecuting consumers is idiotic, because they are victimising themselves and no one else by consuming them, so it does not make sense for me to prosecute it.
The only reason it is more deadly is because of lack of regulation, like I said. Alcohol causes more harm
Portugal's drug policiy while not perfect shows quite a lot of merit considering the high rates in its neighbouring country Spain. No idea what's going on in Spain tho.You are going to beat people for having opinions about drugs that are different from yours?
Someone wrote a statement about how doing heavy drugs is similar to the increased risk of cancer from drinking. Do you think that was a good comparison? Some of the comments were absolving individuals from all the blame/risks, and I just don't see how this is the case. It is a heavy culture clash to see how acceptable use of coke is in US.
I have no stake, and quite a limited knowledge, but you gotta be blind to suggest that acceptable/use of coke isn't influenced by the US culture. You can see the gradient from US, rolling through the Europe.
Again, you seem to actually demonstrate little understanding of the substances you are talking about
I dunno what this means, sorry 😣 I'm not very tech literate, I just pasted it from my address bar on my iPhone

Sorry, you're right about that. I should have just said drug users.
Are you sure about that? Two different studies
Drunk people are accepted in restaurants and a shit ton of night time recreational activities lmao not just in bars
I remember I was walking home once and had to go through the nightclub area and it was freshers week, there was a long queue of students waiting to get inside a club. And one guy moved aside and threw up on the road, the whole crowd cheered as if he passed a rite of passage.
What the fuck do I care if it's tested or not? I believe drugs should be decriminalized and best case scenario, sold legally and safely. The fuck does any of this have to do with government bodies in Europe? It would be cool if they did the same, but what country are you even talking about that's apparently a democratic utopia we should all be striving to match?
So does alcohol.
Three dead of overdose early Saturday morning in Venice, including comic Fuquan Johnson
Three people died early Saturday morning in Venice after overdosing, reportedly on fentanyl-laced cocaine.
They dealt with them well enough that you think that is where it should stop?
