'Ah! ya bastards tricked me again!' - powatom, on 06/25/2009, -2/+32YEAH! ***** YEAH! WE'RE NUMBER ONE BABY!
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -1/+25I'm gonna be frank here: I've been doing coke ( or you could say it's been doing me ) for years now, it's a ***** nasty addiction, I don't recommend it one bit. It's ruined countless relationships where basically the coke came first and all reason went out of the ***** window.
I've kinda got it under control nowadays, but it does rear it's ugly head from time to time, especially when I have a lot of expendable income in the bank. Mr Hyde kicks in and I'll end up on these almighty benders, which are fun at the time, but you suffer for them afterwards, both financially and physically.
And don't for one minute think that you can "take it or leave it" because you may be able to that now, but eventually you won't be able to. And that day will be on top of you before you even realise it. Period.
I'm not preaching or anything, it's your life, do what the ***** you want with it, but one thing I can say for sure and without question regarding my own journey is that if I could change one day in my entire life... It would be the day that me and Little Miss C first started our tempestuous cyclical relationship.
Feel free to ask me any questions below.... - Azimuth1, on 06/25/2009, -7/+30Wealthy country buys more drugs than poorer countries; more at 11
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -0/+18For anybody who wants to read about this in a non-comic format, here's the same thing from the BBC yesterday:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8117162.stm - Doopdoop, on 06/25/2009, -3/+21I'm not addicted to cocaine, I just like the smell of it.
- sammydeath, on 06/25/2009, -2/+19englands trophy cabients getting full!
most underage pregnancies
most percent of people who binge drink
most people with asthma
winners! - powatom, on 06/25/2009, -0/+16Did you even read the article? Of course I am!
- potamkin, on 06/25/2009, -8/+23This annoys me so much. 1 million people don't give a damn about the environmental devastation cocaine causes, the people who are dying in South American and Africa as a result, and the gang warfare that it creates on our streets. The selfishness is disgusting. As a student in London, i know that many of my friends regularly use the drug, but then are the first to declare their love for environmental issues etc etc. A bunch of complete hypocrites.
rant over - powatom, on 06/25/2009, -2/+17I would legalise all drugs. It's not the government's place to tell me what I can and cannot put into my body, particularly if I'm otherwise considered 'an adult'.
Regardless of my own personal position on government power - I strongly believe that ending the drug war would remove much of the fuel from the fire. It's not like we'd suddenly be transported into a utopian society, but gangs would have no excuse to kill each other except petty rivalries (which will probably continue). If we control the manufacturing and distribution of drugs through privatisation and legislation, then we'd have a much better chance of controlling who is able to use it, and we sure as hell wouldn't have people peddling their ***** to kids to get them hooked from an early age.
If you've never tried coke, then there's really no argument you can make that would convince me that legalising it would be such a terrible idea. I've tried it a few times, and I've yet to start killing people or driving cars at a hundred mph the wrong way down a street. It's when pushers start mixing things up and creating cocktails and bad cuts that people start acting crazy. Keep it simple and don't over-indulge, and there's generally no problem - just like everything in life. Alcohol is still a bigger problem than cocaine, in terms of drug fuelled crime. If we allow alcohol, why no coke? Why not ANY drug? - k0zakinio, on 06/25/2009, -2/+16time to see what this hype is all about, brb
- Jericho6, on 06/24/2009, -1/+15It's got to be somehwhere, right?
- hfactor, on 06/25/2009, -2/+14Because all other European countries are poor?
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -2/+14Agreed, most of them are just your average Joe next door, or that quiet guy in the corner of the pub trying to make a bit of extra income.
You've gotta love the average persons interpretation of a drug dealer. - crichards7, on 06/25/2009, -0/+11Top for teenage pregnancy too.
*high five* - Doopdoop, on 06/25/2009, -1/+12You fail.
- powatom, on 06/25/2009, -3/+14End the drug war, and the problem disappears. The nature of the game creates means gangs look to control it. Legalisation would sweep 'control' as a concept from under their feet. If it's legalised, privatised, and taxed, then we can control what goes into it, how much it sells for, and who can use it. Sure, there will always be people willing to make a ***** version and sell it dirt cheap, but on the whole, the situation would be better for everyone.
- K3R5, on 06/25/2009, -1/+12Where do you think the dealers get their goods? From the happy hippies in the magical cocaine forest?
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -0/+11Don't know really... personally I wouldn't give the green light to it becoming an accepted norm, it's not quite the same as weed which FTR I think should be decriminalised. Weed doesn't tear up peoples lives, coke unfortunately does.
I do think there should be a better system of one on one counselling though, you can't get any help apart from the NA route, which I found to be, for want of a better phrase: " The room of ***** doom " with addicts whinging about "woe is me" and "I never asked for this, I'm so depressed" Talk about moaning annies. - inactive, on 06/25/2009, -6/+17Im guessing you were a ***** in college
- KomodoDave, on 06/25/2009, -1/+11My mate was telling me a couple of days ago how he totally overdid it the other night, and ended up coughing up some kinda foamball that continued to grow after leaving his mouth (o_O). I'm a pot man myself, would rather be mellow and philosophise than be panicky and stab myself in the eye with a fish fork, but each to their own.
- CTK14A, on 06/25/2009, -1/+11I agree -- but the same goes for the metals from some warzone in the Congo that went into your iPod.

Humans have a natural tendency to not care as much about human rights violations that occur during the manufacturing of a given product when the distance between consumer and producer increases. They're not even conscious of how that product got on the shelf. One more unforeseen side effect of globalization. - Codik, on 06/25/2009, -1/+11Don't want to pop your bubble, but Britain is only the third biggest economy in the EU...
- klyfer, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9Brits are also #1 at fattest people in Europe! Dont you remember?
- magneteye, on 06/25/2009, -1/+10Cocaine's a hell of a drug!
- tomjowitt, on 06/25/2009, -1/+9You can also add:
Most personal debt
Longest working hours in Europe
One of the highest costs of living/lowest levels of happiness in Europe
No wonder people turn to alcohol and drugs. - powatom, on 06/25/2009, -2/+10@ Kn0ss0s - that's the user's problem, not the government's. Fatty foods do exactly the same, as does alcohol. Coke is just faster. Moderation is the key, and legalisation and legislation will allow US to moderate it, not the pushers.
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -0/+8Yep, you still get the same high. The tolerance stuff works over the period of one night i.e. It tails off around 6 or 7 in the morning, but by that time you are so blasted with alcohol it doesn't matter anyway, but it's not a long term tolerance issue.
I'm gonna add here that it's not cocaine I like, cocaine by itself is a horrible tetchy nervous drug, it's the combination of coke and alcohol which forms the drug cocaethylene.
Also I don't see myself as the common interpretation of a Junkie, which for all sense and purpose is what I am. I eat properly, I run a record label, I'm a touring sound engineer, I go to the gym 3 times a week and I can bench 110Kg. I just have a little bit of a dark side that comes out to play now and again. - bookelly, on 06/25/2009, -2/+10Drug War Over!
Drugs Win!
- the Onion - poidh, on 06/25/2009, -9/+17Whoopeeeeee! Coke at 5%.
Not only do you get ripped off, you also have to snort whatever it is cut with, then as an added bonus you get to give money to violent criminals who are responsible for many rapes and murders along the way. - thetrev, on 06/25/2009, -3/+10Buried for usual Sun tripe.
- Threlly1, on 06/25/2009, -2/+9Oh just ***** off you supercilious *****
- inactive, on 06/25/2009, -0/+7Coke is for douchebags.
- tomarocco, on 06/25/2009, -5/+11Yep, every coke dealer I ever met was a convicted murderer and rapist.
- cerejota, on 06/25/2009, -10/+16Dude, do some coke.
Then lets talk. - mattyk123, on 06/25/2009, -0/+6Wow, out of all the negative posts on this page, your's is the only one that is actually intelligent and non-bias. I've only tried coke a few times and at this point could 'take it or leave it' and from what you've said I think I will leave it while I can. I'm a uni student so i've tried the usual things and found coke to give the best feeling (weed has never been that nice, pretty unapealing imo) but I have been thinking about trying it again and I think i'll just stick to booze..
Cheers. - Phoenix99, on 06/25/2009, -0/+6There's a magical cocaine forest?!?!?!?!?!?!
- dowelly, on 06/25/2009, -3/+9YEAH!!
We're number 1!!
We're number 1! - KimmyGibbler, on 06/25/2009, -1/+7If they were legal, then there wouldn't be related gang violence. People don't murder each other to gain market share in the tobacco or alcohol markets. Just saying
- GeorgeStone2, on 06/25/2009, -1/+6Natural selection would start working again.
- powatom, on 06/25/2009, -0/+5No, sillyjoobs - I grew up in an area rife with drug problems. My grandmother was robbed at gunpoint for drug money. Members of my own family have become addicted and ruined theirs and their loved one's lives. My opinion is nothing to do with Ron Paul or libertarianism or anything of that nature. We have two options: drug war or no drug war. We've tried the drug war, and it's fairly ***** obvious that it hasn't worked. Legalisation is the only way the problems brought by drug usage can even be TACKLED, let alone resolved.
- powatom, on 06/25/2009, -0/+5If this were the 'I don't give a *****' olympics, we'd be head and shoulders in front of the competition.
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -0/+5If it stops anybody making the same mistakes I did then it's worth sharing. For sure.
- 11oops, on 06/25/2009, -0/+5IT'S GONNA RAIN!
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -0/+5@andehbrown: Not really, but it keeps me happy.
- Shazbuckle, on 06/25/2009, -4/+8Your average joe's are the friends of friends of friends.
Not the gangs. I was naiive to think once that all the MJ going around in Dublin wasn't linked to any gangs, after all, it was my friends who sold it to me, and friends of friends.
The drugs have to get here somehow right? And that requires money, and that comes from the gangs. - CTK14A, on 06/25/2009, -1/+5Just going by population, they only place 5th in the total number of masturbators. Come on, Britain, quit jerking about.
- borez, on 06/25/2009, -0/+4Do yourself a favour kid, heed your own words. You'll have a better life for it.
- rpapi100, on 06/25/2009, -0/+4interesting perspective. thanks for sharing.
- inactive, on 06/25/2009, -1/+5What would be the effects of legalisation/decriminalisation?
