#1 Cocaine is bad, but it's not the reason for the surge that's occurred in the last 3 years.

#4 This is not news. Back in the 1990s, we'd see young black men who were prescribed the same medications as their elderly grandmothers.

Crack was big in the north, while Meth was pretty much unknown at the time.

Young Crack smokers would suffer major heart attacks and the ones that survived were "cardiac cripples." They'd take medications such as Lopressor, Cardizem, HCTZ, and Lasix. All medications we'd expect to see in the elderly, not kids.

Crack pipes littered the streets of black neighborhoods. For the most part white kids used Heroin, which brought it's own problems, but not cardiac disease.

Meth was almost unknown at the time.

A lot of younger people used Cocaine during COVID.

#5 Not saying cocaine is not a problem, but this story gives me the feeling that they are still covering for Big Pharma and the Australian government for the Cerveza virus "vaccine".

#6 No such thing as a safe "street drug". They are not dispensed from reputable pharmacies, nor manufactured by reputable manufacturers. What the user of street drugs actually gets could be anything at all, or nothing at all.
