“And you don’t think putting cocaine in soda was going to eventually turn out badly for the public?”
The crack cocaine problem is far worse than the genuine formula cola problem ever was.
And you think that the crack cocaine problem would have never developed if we were still getting cocaine in our soda?
That's just nonsense. Drug addicts are always looking for a bigger better high. If they had to do it, they would distill the cocaine out of the soda just so they could make crack out of it.
If the cocaine was legal, they were going to eventually make crack with it. I know crack addicts. I've known dozens of them during my lifetime. They can't help themselves. They do as much of the drugs as they can for three days, then they crash, and sleep for a couple of days. When they are able, they get up and do it again, so long as they can keep finding a supply.
