Cocaine's like a double-edge knife, it does kill lots of people every year, yes. But look on the bright side, what are analgesics hospitals use are made of? They must have at least got some traits from cocaine to ease extreme pains (Which like heroin, makes people feel good). From what I know, they would have banned all cocaine plants if it was useless and deadly but since it's somewhat positive in the medicine area so they didn't, so there are still drugs dealers on the loose then

bad things have their own pros and cons.
And like Outlaw said: It's only
prescription, not for any other uses.
