Mandatory Cocaine? More likely than you Think!

 Imagine how surprised I was to wake up and find out that alongside Lewis Hamilton cocaine was trending. My first thought was this was another racist attack against Lewis Hamilton by the Verstappen family, who have in the past accused the 10-time world champion of using drugs. What I saw was somehow worse. Worse by quite a significant margin. Elon Musk the CEO of Tesla, Solar City, and other companies, who is currently in the process of buying Twitter, tweeted that he was buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in it. When this drink was first brought to market there was cocaine in it, cocaine was legal at the time.2

Coca-Cola is a popular drink that many people of all ages enjoy, and cocaine is a drug that can lead to addiction and other health problems up to and including death. There have been some studies showing the cocaine can be used in some medicinal fields such as dentistry using it in Soda would do more harm than good.

Billionaires are not smarter than everyone because of their wealth and wanting to put cocaine in a soft drink is another proof of that. The only thing I can really say about this is maybe we should be more concerned about the SEC not getting involved yet in the Twitter acquisition. I am sure he has wanted to put cocaine into a soft drink for a while, the only thing that would stop him is the fact that cocaine remains illegal in the United States and most other parts of the world. This is not as concerning as him trying to buy the public square, but it is still something we should be worried abou
