    No crystal meth and some prescription painkillers are both more addictive than cocaine, not forgetting caffeine, alcohol and nicotine all of which are readily available in you local supermarket and are responsible for far more deaths each year than a batch of poorly cut cocaine. Yes drugs are cut with other things and yes you can't be certain what you are taking but spare us the anti drug "TAKE DRUGS AND YOU WILL DIE" propaganda and have a bit of perspective I'm sure this man wasn't the only person to take cocaine this week."
