Answer by Miz T.M.I
WTF?? Why do you wanna know that? It’s as addictive as a bee being addicted to pollen….only it’s cocaine. (I can’t believe I just answered this question…)
Answer by just what we think
Actually its not a bad question. While cocaine can be quite psycologically addictive, lowly nicotine has been shown to be way more physically addictive.
There are alot of knee jerk reactions and urban myths about cocaine. Alot of work needs to be done on how to handle recreational drugs usage. We need to approach it from a scientific and health orientation. Not a political and criminal one.
I undertand and feel for Hep and Hep’s friend. Some people just cannot control themselves with unfortunate results. But it can be looked at another way as well. What about the 30 year old policeman with a wife and 3 kids that gets shot dead in a drug bust? If recreational drugs where legal or decriminalzed, that bust would not exist because it would not be a crime.
I’m not saying drug use is good, or risk free. What I’m saying is that the way we are handling it is causeing more harm than good, AND its not stopping drug use in the slightest.
