    “Cocaine is one of the most strongly addictive substances known,”

    Isn’t sugar also strongly addictive, and very damaging to the body? Yet it’s marketed like there’s no tomorrow, and obesity doesn’t grow at an alarming rate?

      I guess it all depends on your definition. If you take only one gram of sugar per day, you probably have a very weird diet (keto?). Even a slice of bread will get you above that. On the other hand, a gram of cocaine per day…

        So they have a different dosage?

        Like LSD is only on micrograms?

        That’s not the issue. I can get a kilo of sugar for almost nothing.
