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?

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.

Yeah or I could go based on my class on substance abuse last semeseter.

But to humor you
http://www.nida.nih.gov/Infofacts/cocaine.html
States that it's extremely addictive, and dangerous no matter how frequent a user you are, but nothing suggesting there are no casual users.

http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/cocaine/cocaine.shtml
Is just a list of links that may be useful, but not in this particular situation.

http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/concern/cocaine.html
Same as the first one, it's addictive *shocking* and dangerous

And finally
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cocaine.html
Addictive and dangerous

There's other information there, but not relating to this discussion, I don't need a link dump on cocaine to know that there are casual cocaine users. Next time you'd like to debate something don't just link dump please and thank you.

Your prior posting seemed to be rather close to minimizing usage.
And I could also go by my mothers life time job experience.

As for casual vs "hard-core"-does it in truth matter? The young lady is dead.
Others die as well.
