What I’ve learned over the last few years is Coke is almost like the new marijuana and marijuana is like the new beer. Everything has become so normalized since we were kids. Coke is everywhere in college too. But, it’s serious. My also 22 year-old daughter Developed a very bad addiction after using it recreationally occasionally. We’re now two years into very serious treatment trying to solve for this. It’s tough. So just keep open lines of communication and talk to her about it. But yes, there’s nothing you can really do about it, and if it’s not presenting problems for her with work and functioning, just buy her some test strips and Narcan to have in her purse and breathe.

It's worse. Nothing in the 80s was laced with fentanyl.

Less than 1% of cocaine is laced with fentanyl, according to the DEA:

The suppliers of finance bros are unlikely to take any such risks of killing off their customers. Bad for business.

Burn out pot head is PLENTY trashy.

It's a performance enhancing drug for being a scumbag!

It is super common on college campuses.
