  1. I know a dude that used to sell coke to members of Parliament, all the conservatives fucking love cocaine, most of the other parties too, oh and randomly, Trevor Mcdonnald, massive coke head, never would have guessed.

  2. I’ll be honest, I was expecting “Government Warned” not “Warns Government”.

    They could have gone with either joke to be honest.

  3. Being more on board with fast killing substances would bring NHS costs down in the long term. Typical Tory short-term thinking.

  4. I like newsthump but they have nicked this off Bill Hicks. . .

    ‘Come on everyone, let’s be hypocritical fuckers! It’s ok to DRINK your drug, we meant those other drugs. Those UNTAXED drugs. They’re the ones that are bad for ya.’

  5. I hate this argument. People don’t rob you on the street to fund their tobacco addiction.

    Like, we can be grown ups and admit that yes nicotine and alcohol are bad, but legalising cocaine and harder drugs is obviously going to have a *worse* impact on society. It’s not something that’s going to make anything better, is it?

  6. Yes. Cocaine is only for the elite class. It makes them feel like they can achieve anything. Which is why they often run for government office. And fail to achieve anything. Putting the Gove in government?

  7. So whilst legalization might bring the trade to just regular agribusiness levels of abuse this is the kind of thing current European and US drug use are driving, cocaine in this case but others too. so as two faced as politicians might be it has a serious impact so being aware of what supplied that bit of fun is worth being aware of.

  8. It is in theory super dangerous to the heart, one line can kill and there is no way to make it safer, besides having it cut and the dosage known, though people drink on it too which produces an even more toxic metabolite.

    I have had my time with coke, never really been a fan and I think im too old for it now.

    In that Im not in my 20s anymore and I don’t want to blow up my heart.

    I still love a good toke and some lsd/mdma.

    They should legalize regulate and tax all illegal drugs.

    Make people register, take classes and grant them a license to use them.

    Then put all the money in profits into hospitals and mental health for the minority that has problems.

  9. Didn’t they find coke all over parliament a while back?

  10. The people who make (the majority of) cocaine do some exceptionally evil shit. Supporting them and their violence is wrong.

  11. Sounds about right. We don’t care if you die, just so long as we can suck as much money out of you as possible.
