I mean, cocaine isn't exactly good, but it's not currently a big contributor to Americas drug problems. Meth and opioids are so much more deadly and problematic.

Who cares if someone gets an expensive, short and relatively mild high, with a little cardio-toxicity and rage? It's not as big of a deal as deadly opioid OD's or how meth turns you into a mess. Cocaine's biggest harm is probably what the cartels do to the source country, not the affects the drug has on the users.

One could argue that its biggest harm is the effect that its users (Wall Street investment ghouls) have on broader society
