Oh jeez, why can't they just legalise, regulate and tax the heck out of these things like they do booze? Pandora's outta the damn box. People are gonna make this stuff and people are gonna take it, whatever you do ...

Its so hard to find out where Cocaine comes from?
Well we will just have to collect cocaine samples from all over the earth so we can get a DNA, soil nutrition,Electron microscope image and all that other CSI "Coke Seen Investigator" Stuff going!

Cocaine is classified as a psychomotor stimulant. It is found in Erythroxylon coca, which is a shrub native to South America, particularly Columbia, Peru, and Bolivia. Inhabitants of these regions have been using coca (and its various forms) for at least 2,000 years.

Why should we have to worry about Levamisole in cocaine? I mean really, if an individual does cocaine they are automatically going to be risking their life anyways. Personally, I believe that all man made drugs (that includes cocaine, even though it technically comes from a plant, people still add chemicals and all that jazz to the drug making the actual powdered substances “man-made”.) shouldn’t be used at all. If someone wants to get high or messed up or whatever then they should do something that can’t kill you the first time you try it like marijuana or shrooms or something natural and from mother earth. The “natural” kind of drugs are safer than cocaine and heroine and pills because you don’t have all those nasty killer unnatural chemicals added into the drug.
If people want to be stupid enough to snort a line of coke then they should pay the consequences, which may end up being worse the though because of the Levamisole added into the drug. The dangers of drugs are everywhere, therefore everyone should know of them. So what if someone is stupid enough to ignore the faces and do drugs anyways. Let them destroy themselves.

Sorry about my typos.
It's supposed to say:

" which may end up being worse then though because of the Levamisole added into the drug."
instead of the

and " So what if someone is stupid enough to ignore the facts and do drugs anyways."
instead of faces.

I type sloppy.

Because there totally aren't natural plants that will kill your fool ass. Loco weed, belladonna, those can kill ya; oh yeah--peach and cherry pits, and that's not even to mention almonds (see what I did there?) contain cyanide. And there's very little "natural" about most marijuana these days. Aside from the fact that YES, additives CAN go into your dime bag, modern marijuana is astronomically more potent than the stuff sold back in the 70s. Dose is everything. A 5% solution of a drug may make you go into happy la la land, but a 20% solution of it might make you into the girl who thinks it's a rad idea to beat the hell out of someone. Nearly all of the marijuana sold these days is the result of intensive breeding to increase its effects. It's about as natural as Monsanto tomatoes.

So when was the last time someone on marijuana beat the hell out of someone? Go on, show us that you're not just making stupid comments with no basis. Show a scientific study that correlates THC to violent behavior.

Please wait...
