Same as.. I didn’t really get it. Was never that bothered to try further (for the sake of science, of course!) as I’m not all that over the moon about funding child soldiers.

I agree with the social conditioning thing.. I’ve stopped drinking for the last year, and can still get all hyper and shouty with friends in the pub.

However it also makes people into horrid stroppy greedy nasty self aggrandising people

Is there not a bit of self selection there? Of the cokeheads I’ve known, the ones that were arses on coke were also arses while not on coke- generally to a lesser extent but still, it seemed to be a magnifier rather than a cause.

That’s not Science obviously but seems to be a common observation.

Disagree there Northwind, at least in my limited experience – one of my best mates, lovely bloke, funny, kind and generous, coke turned him into a right arrogant t**t and nearly cost him his relationship. Luckily he gave up (with help) before it destroyed him.

Don’t mean to imply it’s universal, should have been clearer- just that out of the ones I know, there’s a lot that you’d think “Coke has made you into a bellend” when in fact, they were always bellends.

A bit of both I think.

I know people in both categories.

No coincidence it was Cameron and Osbournes drug of choice 🙂

Exactly. Drugs exacerbate various psychological issues not create them.

MSP – I had a friend that claimed the same after tooting a few lines. He was sat on the edge of his seat, leg jogging up and down whilst tapping his palm on the edge of the sofa ranting:-

“…I can’t feel a bloody thing. Let’s get outta here…!”

I doubt that with ‘good shit’ you’d have suffered the placebo effect.

Ahem…. Everything in moderation…..including moderation itself.
