Yeah, that was the WTF part.

He's just wrong about the cocaine use.

I think Tom may have this girl confused with a girl from SMU who died recently from ODing on coke. Her drug dealer left her body in a port-a-potty in Waco and tried to cover up her death as a kidnapping.

I really am not sure what "part" of the posting you think is wrong/incorrect.

The part about not being able to be a casual cocaine user..........which I think is incorrect as well.

What percentage of students at your college are probably casual cocaine users?

[macallan25]

I couldn't tell you........I don't know everyone.

But just based on personal experience at my school and many, many others throughout the South........casually blowing a little chach every now and then isn't something that is out of the ordinary at all. Definitely an '80s type revival going on right now.

I'm going to make it simple and just go with the wiki one. Look at the sections under Usage and Addiction. Plenty of people use it but aren't addicts. It's the hip new party drug. It's a study-aid using the stimulant effects like Ritalin. I'm not minimizing it, but there are lot of abusers who aren't addicts.

I'm not really going to assume he actually knew what he was talking about. He doesn't get that kind of credit.

KISS can be good; however you may wish to take the time to read the other links.

While the following site does not give you that answer, it will give you the answer on drug related arrests:

Perhaps. But a few posters seemed to be going in another direction as well.
A bit of education and knowledge never hurts.
