Reminds me of Jonah Hill’s character in Don’t Look Up. “I timed that shit perfectly.”

Does he keep loose coke in his pocket, or is there a fancy solution? Seemed too fast to open a baggy.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 48 points 13 hours ago

Copying from a comment I made on another thread:

I assume it's in a baggie. But he's got enough money maybe he's just stuffing handfuls in his pockets every morning.

It's amazing you can just do cocaine in public now and no one gives a shit.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

FTFY

Would be nice if we could do that too. (As long as no kids are around)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 31 points 11 hours ago

When you're rich, they let you do it.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 15 hours ago

I thought it was tobacco

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca -3 points 12 hours ago

He likely popped a zyn

[–] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 87 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

He wouldn't do drugs, he's clearly just tasting the pocket sand. /s

[–] UwUhugger@lemmy.world 24 points 15 hours ago

He has a hole in his pocket, its his own flavor!

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 15 points 16 hours ago

Mmmm tastes like nose candy.

Just casually doing a little bit of cocaine at a SpaceX launch.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 63 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, but Hunter Biden USED to do drugs. That is way worse! This clip just proves the Trumps ain't no quitters! #CheckmateLibs

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 53 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I think most of our politicians are on crack.

[–] bitchwhore@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

first of all, lets get one thing straight - crack is cheap. they make too much money to ever smoke crack. lets get that straight, okay?

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 82 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

No. It's only called crack when poor plebs use it, not the rich. That's why there's different laws.

Coke is not crack, seems like semantics, but the Rich do not see them the same. It wasn't a war on drugs to stop cocaine pouring into the US being used by white communities, it was to stop crack being used by poorer people of color. If drugs had stayed expensive and exclusive to white folks Regain wouldn't have felt as strongly for sure.

The same thing with unemployment/social security being a great thing when white people had it to protect their "hard work", but when people of color got to use the same system it turned into "welfare queens" based on a the story of a single black woman that abused the system.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

The entire war on drugs was to limit liberal political power from day 1. The racism was only part of it.

And now it’s . . . . whatever the fuck this is.

[–] Track_Shovel 22 points 15 hours ago

You should watch the documentary "Crack" - it was very eye opening, and contrary to your argument. Their perspective is that Crack was very deliberately facilitated in poorer communities. Less of a "hey those are our drugs, and you guys can't have them and more of a "if we feed you drugs, you'll be too busy fighting amongst yourselves perspective. I'm guessing the truth is somewhere in the middle.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Cocaine and crack are the same drug in different form factors. Those forms factors are tyoically used by different demographics and certainly nudged in that demogtaphic distinction by the CIA and given the excuse to the DEA to selectively enforce policy against racial minorities.

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes same base, but seen and used by different populations was my point. Rich bros aren't sitting around hitting a crack pipe, they are doing a line off some exploited woman in their orbit (or apparently like Jr just out of the old pocket). And yes the CIA have used drugs as a currency once they realized they could make both illegal for poors and at the same time flood neighborhoods with it. Believe Bush Sr. was into this amongst other "covert" operations.

Looks like he got the go-ahead for that little bump from his daddy.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

He’s an expert he’s know exactly what the bad drugs taste like

Goldenseal root for mouth ulcers?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Does cocaine cause mouth ulcers? If so, that is a useful tip for him.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It might, but cocaine is a vasoconstrictor and numbing agent.

He could be using cocaine to deal with the cocaine related symptoms.

Which, in general, sounds like the biggest problem with cocaine: not having more cocaine.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

"Where'd all the cocaine go?" - Dude who just did all the cocaine
