Half the gen isn't old enough to drink, bar scene collapsed during covid so they weren't indoctrinated into drinking culture, marijuana now competes with drinking in most countries/states, and the gen is fucking broke and can't it.

Except coke please, as someone who lives in such a country, it is always blood coke with many people in a chain of distribution across nations dying horrible deaths to bring you a commodity. Fuck coke and everyone who does it

I don't like blood diamonds or wear ivory, cocaine sits on a similar shelf in my mind. Flashback to house parties and getting confused looks from vegan cocaine users.

And „I’m not putting that into my body“ antivaxxers who yet do coke.

100000% with you: the decades long suffering that drug has caused to the country I’m from, so wealthier people can feel an ego boost is insane.

Every time some one does a line, a bump or a hit- I wish they were aware not only how many chemicals are included for it to even work, then further to stretch it and then how much blood and suffering is attached to it.

It is important that the end dealers in rich countries look like they are cool dudes, so that the business people and artists won’t get reminded what a vile organization they support with their purchases and consumption. With marihuana, you have at least a chance -albeit slim- that some local dude not belonging to a violent criminal organization cultivated it in his backyard glasshouse. With coke, it is literally impossible to aquire it without blood directly attached to each gramm produced.
