A "good" decision could have been, "doing that line of coke with a dude in college who ends up being your best friend because your best friend ended up in a position to get you ahead in life.

A bad decision would have been, not doing that line of coke and ending up teaching in high school, in that situation.


Life isn't black and white, there's a whole lot that goes on that makes us who and what we are, a lot of it out of our control.

You guys always go straight to the exception with every argument. Almost every single time, doing coke is a bad idea. The consequences outweigh any potential reward. You know this. That is my point. Every choice has risks. Every choice has rewards. People that win at a higher rate calculate their decisions. They don't always work out, but they sure as hell give you a better chance.

Yet so many successful people choose to do coke and other drugs. Weird that they could make such bad decisions over and over and still be successful.

And your evidence of successful people doing hard drugs come from where (actors and musicians excluded).

Bingo. Their argument is always the needs of the few eclipse the views of the many.

LOL. Drugs like alcohol are just a stimulant. I dont follow your logic.

Well, I sold coke, meth and ecstasy for years. Almost all my clients were lawyers and dudes that worked for Ernst Young and Charles Schwab.

Speed is the hidden secret that almost everyone that works in high finance keeps. They call them black beauties(or adderall) but that's what they are, prescribed legal speed.

****, we know of two president's that did coke. I'd love to drug test all of our government. Trump has all the classic symptoms of an adderall taker.

How can you even argue with a guy who says he knows for a fact that anyone who voted for Trump is an idiot. Either he is unsure what a fact is, or he's the idiot.

I am still waiting for him to tell me how I was privileged

Drugs are hardly the choice of a few.

Alcohol is actually classified a central nervous system depressant by the way.

So it doesn’t stimulate you?

It does cause dopamine levels to rise but it's truly a depressant.

It's some interesting reading.

Or literally every white collar job I’ve ever worked.

yup. I worked for a top 10 law firm in the country and EVERYONE did drugs. Well, the dudes in IT swilled their Mountain Dew, but I would bet the drug users outnumbered the non-users. Went to some fantastic parties.

And ****, don't get me started about upper management in the NORCAL air region of UPS.
