Comment on Colombian president says cocaine 'no worse than whisky'

Probably it being illegal creates a selection bias. Most people will never use it or have it easily accessible. Most people will have easy access to alcohol and nicotine, and will likely try at least alcohol.

No, I’m referring to the “let’s buy another 8ball for $250 tonight” and then regretting it the next day. Super common. Whereas the drinkers could be okay with not drinking anymore in most cases.

  You also have to take into mind that theyre probably taking coke laced with amphetamines without them knowing and not pure cocaine

    Probably? There’s a million factors. I don’t know how one would even begin to guess that
