I’ve read the lyrics over and over. Is it about HIS love of cocaine or a WOMAN’S love of cocaine or about him trying to get this particular Coke Ho?

Answer by Paperbag Writer
Eric Clapton’s “Cocaine,” a cover version of a song by J. J. Cale, is an anti-drug abuse statement (contrary to popular belief). Here’s a quote from Clapton himself:

What Do You Think of This New Study That Concludes That Alcohol Is “More Lethal Than Cocaine, Heroin”?

Question by Welcome to Amerika Mr. 0rwell !!: What do you think of this new study that concludes that alcohol is “more lethal than cocaine, heroin”?
Basically British researches ranked substances according to their overall detriment to individual health and society as a whole. Alcohol was number 1 on the list ahead of crack, cocaine and heroin. Marijuana and LSD ranked towards the bottom of the list.

Do you think this is enough for the U.S. to at least consider re-classifying some of it’s illegal narcotics? (Specifically removing marijuana from the Schedule 1 classification which includes heroin, cocaine etc.)

OD vs. Substance Abuse?

Question by Gracyn: OD vs. Substance Abuse?
Does one overdose qualify as “substance abuse”? Would the hospital see it that way? Would the patient be turned down for ‘treatments’ such as dialysis?

Thank you. (I know dialysis isn’t a treatment)

Best answer:

Answer by boo ?
Well when you abuse a substance, that means you’re not using it the way it is ment to be used (i.e. taking too much, addiction to it, etc..) Hospitals usually put an overdose with an attempted suicide if that was the intention of the overdose, but the individual will usually go through close evaluatation(s) first. When you hear the term ‘Substance Abuse’ most think of individuals who have been using illegal drugs (such as crack cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana etc..) However, that’s not always the case..
