" a self-respecting cokehead..." He actually said that with a straight face?
For certain degrees of self-respect I guess.
Not every drug user is inherently a drug "abuser". There may be more risk of dependency but the concept that someone
can't be a functioning coke (or pot, or smack) head in exactly the same fashion as people can be functioning alcoholics their entire adult lives is a myth created by the "War on Drugs".
