"But once I started doing coke, I lost control, and it took over my life again."
Read carefully and notice the reversal
I started...I lost control...it took over my life...
Coke is an inanimate object with no inherent "power" or abilities. "It" didn't climb up her nose on its own.

Another of those fitting "images" for public consumption.
Yes, it's all about "image". Right, Dane?

Coke is an inanimate object with no inherent "power" or abilities.

I get your point about her choosing to use the substance. You are right, she made a choice.

I disagree with your assessment of coke as having no "inherent power or abilities". Cocaine Hydrochloride is an extremely powerful substance, and this story of Yasmeen's enslavement to it is just one of many.

Cocaine, the "thing" IS dangerous and DOES have inherent pharmacological power. The choice to be made about it is STAY AWAY FROM IT.
