While I don't wholeheartedly disagree, I also have trouble envisaging a world where cocaine is legally available.

If the actual barbarism of these people was on the regular news ore, I think that would make an impact.

People managed to make a difference through boycotting many products because of industrial practices. [1]

Maybe it's time to organise a cocaine boycott.

But it was once legal and prominent, and I'm almost sure you've tasted the soft drink whose name was derived from it.

Why? You don't have to use it.

I don't understand how my personal non-consumption affects my imagination?
Not just your personal non-consumption, everybody's. I don't think jailtime is the sole reason people don't use coke.
Cocaine consumers aren't the sort of folks who make self-sacrifice for ethical causes.
