      I started doing casual coke about 15 years ago when at the pub.
      Once I started doing it I cannot believe how many people I noticed doing it, I guess I was just oblivious.

      Coke free 15 years! Alcohol free, 15 hours.

        Congrats! I’m nearly 24 hours sober at the moment, might go another. I’ve never done anything harder than acid, I’m kind of a self-control freak. And yes, deeply oblivious.

        Not wanting to belittle your accomplishment at all, but if my stoner maths is holding up, doesn’t this mean you had a coke habit for like 7 weeks? Must’ve been a fun 7 weeks at least 😁

          It was a heavy year. I got into a bit of debt with it and I credit my current anxiety issues with the amount of coke I put up my nose.

      I don’t know about that. I’m fairly older than the average fedizen. I can tell you, when I was in my 20s, the guy selling at the average pub would definitely be trying to push a little charlie onto you at the same time. Likewise, if I went to a club I remember being offered “a line” on multiple occasions with different people present.

      I was never interested in it myself though. But it was out there and very easily accessible.

      Now-days, I have no idea. Because I’m generally doing neither activity. But I bet if you live in certain areas, it’s not changed at all.

      Probably it depends a lot on where you live (or lived) though.

        Maybe that’s it, I almost always have my kid with me so dealers don’t even look in my direction. Shame, probably would buy adderalls for my wife and child if they did.
