Can't downvote so responding instead: this is the kind of harmful misinformation that stigmatizes even responsible drug use and makes it less safe for all. Please educate yourself and reform your beliefs on the matter, and stop spreading it.

Also do you realize what you're saying to the author of the root comment? Shame on you.

Can you please provide a link to addicts-per-'those who used cocaine/heroine' ratio? I can't find exact numbers supporting common medical knowledge (e.g. 1/5 for cocaine).

> And if someone 'experiments' with hard drugs like cocaine or heroine, he/she is statistically-definitely addict with all consequences. One doesn't simply stop after first dose, that's why non-medical drug use is illegal.

Even though I'd also like to see such a link, I'd argue that because you're the one making a rather strong (purportedly factual) statement, it's up to you to provide evidence for it.

Don't get me wrong: I don't have a strong conviction on this matter. I really do want to see some evidence to inform my own point of view.

That said, the vast majority of my friends have used cocaine, as have I. Most of them multiple times. None of them have a problem with cocaine.

I'd never encourage someone to experiment with cocaine or heroin because it can be quite dangerous. But misinformation is potentially even more dangerous.
