I still don't agree that most young people take cocaine. Or have even dabbled.
Some do, and some do a lot.

But it looks like a 58 year old judging the younger people by the standard of the yob you see on West Gate after hours.

It's certainly a problem but and as said, a lucrative business, but these days you can't even say 'most' drink to excess.

no no no!

I'm judging myself aged 20, I can't judge others as such, however, I don't think I was that different to most.

Tempted I keep pointing out is not the same as doing, but the number of drugs available today I find it hard to believe that the temptations are not so much greater.

I'm pretty sure I know better than anyone what I would or might have done aged 20. So unless you've shadowed me my entire life then do shut up. You really have just made yourself look a total fool.

If you're not actually going to join the debate then why bother, your comment has nothing to do with anything I've said, just pathetic virtue signalling.

Oh and do tell us all what your great knowledge is regarding drug use? This is a forum, you don't need to have a Degree to comment on any issue you wish.

Vastman what you have said as a 20 year old takes courage so respect .Never went near drugs .My two children have not done drugs,though as a 19 year old my son said he had been offered them after a night in Wakefield.Know people from a decent back ground who became addicts. and now in there 40+ years are struggling with life ,deppretion in and out of work ext .It's a big problem that will not go away
