Alarming article on cocaine. Don't be fooled -- the vices that show up in large cities, and the problems they cause, very quickly turn up everywhere in America.

>>>>cocaine is a prominent part of a night out...
I really have a hard time believing that. I’ve never seen anyone use cocaine. I don’t know anyone that uses cocaine.
Maybe I’m too old or hung with the wrong people.

There has been a demand for stimulents as long as there have been stimulents.
Speed became popular because it was cheap and easily made here in the U.S.
The new regulations have drug gangs making the speed and Mexico and importing it.
Since Coke and speed now travel the path and Coke is apparently more desirable I would expect a rise in Cocaine usage.

You could go into a swanky party in New York and do a line and nobody would notice, said Mr. Sykes, who is now sober. Pull out a cigarette and people would think youd pulled out a gun.
Sigh.
When I go to travel somewhere else, people think I do it and theyre so eager to shove it up my nose, said Roxy Summers, a party promoter and D.J. who goes by the name Oxy Cottontail.
You can't make this stuff up folks.
It seems these problems happen a lot in NYC, let's destroy that island and take care of this any many more problems.

Alarming article on cocaine. Don't be fooled -- the vices that show up in large cities, and the problems they cause, very quickly turn up everywhere in America. For crying out loud, that makes it sound like cocaine is some new urban phenomenon that must be stopped before it spreads to the rest of society.
Cocaine has had several waves of popularity over the last few decades - it was supposedly quite fashionable among Wall Street traders in the 80's, for example.
Even drug warriors concede that cocaine is readily available at an affordable price to anyone in the US who wants it. It's been that way for decades.

Ah, what is old is new again. My dad has told me stories of going to business dinners at Luger's and the old Lutece, and seeing guys doing lines at lunchtime.
Nosecandy was everywhere during the '80s, despite the pretensions of "The War on Drugs." Interesting to see it making a comeback.
