I feel bad for the result of it all, but someone who is obviously as intelligent as he is knows full well the risks he lines himself up for when you participate in all that. It's one thing when the poor souls in the projects get tricked into getting hooked, it's another thing all together when someone highly gets mixed up in it.

Sorry about your friend. Really sad. I don't do coke but have dabbled in the past if someone put it in my face. It's a personal choice and in my opinion doesn't negatively affect your driving or anything. If I faced prison time for bullshite like this, I can't definitively say I wouldn't consider doing the same thing he did. Very, very sad when there are people who commit crimes against other people and don't see jail time.

I agree it's all bullshite. the war on drugs is a joke. I see cops raiding college kids all the time over here.

Situation sucks but cocaine is a hard drug. Just don't do hard drugs, that's all. Do you think we should legalize it?

No
Casualty for using/dealing coke? Probably
"Cocaine is an addictive drug that produces numerous psychiatric symptoms, syndromes, and disorders. The symptoms include agitation, paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, violence, as well as suicidal and homicidal thinking. "
"Suicide can be viewed as a form of self-destructive, violent behavior. In one study of 749 cases of suicide in New York City, cocaine was present in 18% to 22% of cases. Suicide may be caused by depression, which occurs frequently in people using cocaine."

Having said that, sorry about the loss of your friend.

Sucks man, should be a lesson to all of us to curb that stuff a little.

You know it's beyond insane when they are going after FedEx for shipping drugs (the whole company). They are shaking them down for $1.6 billion.

Drugs are bad. Mmmmk

Sorry about your friend but he knew the consequences of breaking the law. I would think he could have overcome his legal problems...sad he didn't think he could.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
I would blame addiction, not the war on drugs.

I'm against the WOD but this is no one's fault but your friend's. He knew the consequences of his actions and did it anyway. And the when he got busted and the chips were down he took the easy way out and left all his loved ones to pick up the pieces. "Good guys" don't do that. Good guys step up to the plate. Cowards whine about the system ruining their lives and then kill themselves.

The "War on Drugs" has been devastating and completely misguided. One of the biggest snow jobs in modern history.
But it's good for private prison business. So frick all the lives this ridiculous policy has directly or indirectly help ruin.
Sorry about your buddy. No one can understand the desperation he must have felt. Very sad.

And watch douchebags like Joe Arpio laugh at your story with glee. The day that man dies will be a great day in American history. frick the war on drugs. When should Americans ever declare war on their own citizens?

The WoD is the biggest waste of money their is. Money that could be spent improving our country that's going to shite.
How a guy sitting home doing drugs is any worse that someone sitting home drinking is beyond ridiculous.
An alcoholic can run out and grab more booze at the nearest store pretty much anytime with zero risk in regards to his freedom, as long as he isn't drinking and driving, whereas someone addicted to prescription meds or "street drugs" risks their freedom, career, etc, the only difference being their DoC.
If drugs were legalized I hardly doubt your typical.dealer is going to start doing contract killing or human trafficking on the side.
And dont even get me started on the DEA harassing doctors and politicians passing laws and trying to tell doctors how they can or can't treat patients.
I could count the # of times I had heard of heroin in my area on one hand in over 20 years of drug use until almost a year ago when Gov Bentley passed a bill cracking down on pain management clinics and how doctors could treat chronic pain patients, shutting down PM clinics in the area.
Since that law was passed, heroin has exploded in this area including over 50 arrested just last month because of a rash of overdoses and deaths due to heroin cut with fentanyl and fentanyl being sold as heroin to opiate addicts who had lost their doctors and dealers unfamiliar with heroin filling the void.
Their will always be a demand, thus always suppliers. At least when the suppliers were doctors the user knew what he was getting and how much to take, for the most part. A 30mg Roxi is the same strength everytime, where as you might be able to do two tenths of heroin one time and a week later when the product changes, the same amount kills you.
Tl;Dr take some adderall for your "ADHD" and come back and read it later.
