People stopped doing coke here 25 years ago and moved on to harder stuff.

I'm sure your health care system can cope.
I'd like to hope all addicts in the US get free treatment.
They do get free treatment as long as they are willing to stop using.
Most of them don’t want to stop or go through the hell of withdrawal.
Consumer power has nothing to do with economy.
There are nearly twice the number of consumers on Europe than the US.
When I look I can't believe the amount of garbage products bought by Americans for simple tasks. Gadget for everything useful or not.
So you choose the S&P index because it's at a record, yet the DJIA has dropped about 500 points since Sunday. Which is it? Or do you just choose the one doing better? You can't even do that simply, you have to cheat by having multiple choices.
Addiction is a complicated and terrible thing.
It must be that superior health system that CK es extolling.
Two drugs, if it's American whiskey then that explains it. You stole it and bartadised it (even the spelling) from Scotland.
Agreed. Half my family are recovering addicts. Fortunately, I’ve never had a compulsion for things.
Darwinism at its finest
Giving up cigarettes was bad enough
Mate, really?
Yep, I have no sympathy for addicts or even alcoholics.
The only case I may have sympathy for is over medication in hospitals leading to addiction.
That's harsh mate. Normally agree with you but on that....no chance
Yeah my mother died due to her alcoholism, you don't a ******* clue what your talking about.

I'd be less worried about Coke, and more worried about the flooding of the UK market of Fentanyl.
Its been going around the north east recently, and it's only a matter of time...
Nitazenes are the future for all the obvious reasons.
I've gone years and years without requiring to use Naloxone, but have administered in 2024 and twice already this year.

Thats not harsh, that's a disgraceful take!!!!
Addiction is a disease that ravages through a society, and it's only getting worse.
Had to Google half of that
They said the same about crack. It took off to a degree but never the extent of the US.
I think people who use coke and cannabis don't see themselves in the same way. Especially compared with other drugs.

**** sorry hahaha the industry is full of BS terminology.
Essentially, synthetic opiods are so cheap to produce, and so incredibly strong it will beat out traditional drug use at some point.
Naloxone treats overdose, in my line of work I come across users regularly, but until last year never came across anyone who had overdosed, now it seems to be a regular occupancy.
CAVDAS reported to us recently that they have given out more Naloxone (pebble and injection forms) in the last 12 months than the 12 years before.
Part of that will be awareness and training obviously, but ODs are increasing at a rate of knots, and its mostly down to synthetics.
