Tobacco and drink cause more social and health problems than coke ever did, so why do governments cosy up to those companies that choose to manipulate people into destroying their health and robbing them at the same time?
The criminal factor associated with the supply of cocaine is only due to its high cost because it's illegal, so that in itself isn't a justifiable reason. I heard it was something to do with financing the civil war in Nicaragua, but I could be wrong.
I'm not trying to justify its use by kids or anything, so don't guilt-trip me. I just think it's hypocritical of the State to ban something on health grounds when they let folks smoke and drink even though they know the implications of it.
