Calzaghe admits to cocaine use

[generalbulldog]

If someone is doing cocaine or drugs like that if it becomes an addiction(not saying it will) then people should get involved sooner. If your friend was on cocaine would you not do anything cause its his private life?

I know that question isn't directed at me, but I have friends who occasionally do hard drugs like cocaine and I have no problem with it at all. They're responsible adults and they can choose to act the way they see fit (again, within reason). If one of them because a heavy user or an addict, of course I would be concerned, but until then (and I doubt it ever happens) it's fine by me. It's no different than any who occasionally drinks heavily, like myself, and I'd wager it's probably on par in regards to the physical damage it causes.

What I will say to that is, that there is a reason cocaine is illegal and drinking isn't.

And what's your point?

Tobacco is legal in every country and studies have been done that shows how addictive the nicotine in tobacco is. In fact there was a study done years ago that came to the conclusion that nicotine was even more addictive than cocaine and heroin and that the relapse rate was higher than both of those illegal drugs.
