Rising GOP support for the U.S. taking unilateral military action in Mexico against drug cartels is increasingly rattling people on both sides of the border who worry talk of an attack is getting normalized.

Wednesday’s Republican presidential primary debate featured high-stakes policy disagreements on a range of issues from abortion to the environment — but found near-unanimous consensus on the idea of using American military force to fight drug smuggling and migration.

    I’ve done coke at parties with friends or in Vegas or whatever several times over the decades since I was young, never been addicted and my life was not ruined and I could say the same for many of my friends who have gone on to have families and jobs etc.

    Anecdotes are irrelevant with problem of such a scale.

    I, for example, have used cocaine once with my friend. I found that I’m not a fan of effect. My friend, on the other hand, went wild and do it every weekend if he has any money.

    But again, anecdotes are irrelevant. Let’s believe medical professionals.

      Would your life have been better had you been arrested that one time you did coke?
