Oh, fuck off.

They forgot to mention Westminster.

Yeah, that's something that shocked me a bit when I moved here. Some of my younger colleagues (and I mean young, most girls aged 19-22) casually spoke about their cocaine usage and even ketamine. I even learned about the "k hole" from them, lol. Scary. I know a couple of straight edge 20 somethings too though so I guess they're bringing some balance to the force but damn.

That explains all the narcissists then.
Weird, I've never noticed anything. I guess being a little older and WFH kind of cuts me off from that world.

I don’t like cocaine: it makes people into worse versions of themselves, and isn’t even an interesting experience in the way that psychedelics can be. You get no insights on coke other than perhaps “cause I’m worth it, bitch”.
Having said that, if it’s so common and prohibition has been unsuccessful, it’s probably time to legalise and regulate it. Set up supply chains that are ethical (or at least more ethical than organised crime) and subject to legally enforceable standards on ingredients in the way that food, alcohol and pharmaceuticals are, so the lines of coke people are doing aren’t cut with whatever random chemicals were available (for the sake of future healthcare budgets as much as anything). Of course, restrict sales to over-18s only, tax it as one does alcohol (another harmful drug, albeit with a lot of social acceptability) and tobacco, and have notices on each package about the effects and side-effects of cocaine and where to seek help if you have a problem.
At least people on coke are fun. Can't be doing with the guy that smokes weed and ignores everyone for the rest of the night. I've never tried cocaine but I've always hated the messiness of it. People do lines off dirty surfaces or snort it from a key. They must lose like 20% of it, and it's spenny too. Just get a tiny spoon or something you useless cokeheads.
We need cocaine just to get everything done these days.
Work, gym, reading, family, social life, hobbies. Need the extra energy just for the basics.
Just legalise and tax it
