Cocaine "is no worse than whiskey" and is only illegal because it comes from Latin America, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whose nation is the world's biggest cocaine producer and exporter.

            And yet more people die of cancer than shark bites.

            100% of people ingesting cocaine in any form will experience cardiotoxicity. High bad cholesterol can be retained by living healthy. Nothing can undo direct toxicity to cardiac cells.

            I can be in fit shape. Walk everyday, do cardio/lifting three times a week. One hamburger does nothing to my cardiac cells. One line of cocaine will damage my heart.
