you don't feel the considerations of the drug taker should extend to burden he is placing (in the uk) at least on our already overworked NHS system and I for one resent my taxes being squandered on the self inflicted.

Fair enough.

My point was regarding the actual taking of drugs. If you want to, do. If you don't, don't. Either way, don't be so irresponsible that it ruins the experience had by responsible drug users by being a drug abuser.

It wasn't about legality. That's a whole other issue.

My points not about legality either and I
have no problem with most drugs - Coke is causing a great deal of violence and medical problems as the drug of choice in the UK at the moment.

So are alcohol and tobacco. More so, infact.

I again agree with you 🙂 but the instant death factor is less present.

See my George Best thread to post on alcohol abuse 🙂

I've never heard of an instant cocaine death, to be fair. Unless of course someone snorts some drastically dodgy quantity or content.

This of course falls under, what Krunk'd calls, "Stupid" and they deserve all they get.

The families of victims of drunk drivers probably feel otherwise.

interestingly a recent study shows drunk pedestrians to be more of a problem

Can cause strokes in the same way ephedra based drugs can

It's all fair game.

I also take on board your point about indirect death and alcohol and passive smoking and fags. I gave up smoking almost 15 years ago when I worked in a histology dept in a large midlands teaching hospital.

Can. A lot of things can cause death, doesn't mean they will.

A lot of things cause violence. Coke is being unfairly picked out there.

Wasting lives or not, that is none of your business. It's not your life.

No but my taxes help pay for the NHS

Why then are you not complaining about ALL drugs that lead to possible hospital treatment?

Because Coke has become the drug of choice for this time.

I did coke a few times, but I was always disappointed with how long it lasted. Why blow over £30 for 30 mins fun, when you can buy E's for £3 each?

Not that I condone that sort of behaviour (anymore). 😗

It's not the only drug "draining" your money though.

coke is very dangerous and has long term effects.
of coarse if you use it recreationally and moderately and have the willpower to
resist addiction to one of the most addictive drugs besides heroine and nicotine,
then have a ball and be thankful for your blessing.

i just find it irresponsible to declare it harmless since it clearly isnt. and dont take that as high horse preaching because i smoke cigarettes and am aware of their effect. point is i dont take puff after puff while trying to convince myself that its perfectly safe.

all too often people die from long term damage. most recent one which comes to mind is eddie guerrero-clean and sober for 4 years, but the damage was done.

i tried coke a couple of times and it just sucked for me. heart was beating like mad, i was all paranoid, and just didnt feel comfortable in my own skin.
