The number of cocaine users in France has nearly doubled to 1.1 million, with employees increasingly using the drug to cope with workplace pressures, a government report revealed on Wednesday.

I do coke
So I can work longer
So I can earn more

So I can do more coke- Kill the noise
I dont underatand people who use coke to get things done. I never got jack shit done on coke, unless you count talking a mile a minute and drinking a lot. Adderall on the other hand, I work my ass off on Adderall.
Yeah me neither, I don’t like coke but I like the way it smells.
Wouldnt it be the feeling of getting work done?
Nah, I never had any illusion that I was doing anything useful
Return to the office empowers the cartels.
The report noted changing attitudes have contributed to cocaine’s spread, with the drug now being seen as more familiar and less dangerous than two decades ago.
And yet, they won’t vote for legalisation. Big brain moments.
Nah, here in France we’ve been using the same revolutionary approach to drugs for decades now: be tougher on crime. We’re more and more repressive, while usage keeps climbing. Each new interior minister scoffs at the idea of legalization, explaining instead that his predecessors failed because they just weren’t tough enough.
A war on drugs also creates soldiers on the other side. Merseille is a good example.
Add this to the pile of reasons why it’s a terrible idea, except for traffickers and politics looking to score cheap points with the right I guess…
France: hard on for drugs!
I can understand executives, or people in finance, being able to not just justify their use of cocaine on the job, but more importantly, be able to afford it.
Unless cocaine prices have come down exponentially in the last decade, I can’t imagine being a shift worker and relying on cocaine to get through the day.
I’m going to call bullshit on this reporting. I would have believed that if they just said cocaine use has gone up, or that recreational use outside of work has risen.
If cocaine was dirt cheap, meth wasn’t cheap, or if it was hard to get an amphetamine prescription, I would be more willing to accept this reporting.
But as it stands, cocaine isn’t cheap, meth is, and prescription amphetamines are more common then ever.
Have you been in a restaurant kitchen? Coke is the goto for staff, even at their shitty pay. It’s really rampant in our K-town districts, they probably get bulk discounts.
I didn’t say there was no cocaine use. There’s always some level of drug use, what I call bullshit on is the idea that cocaine replaced Adderall en masse.
Workers who need stimulants already have much better, and exponentially cheaper, drugs to use for that purpose.
Like I said, if the article was talking about work-life balance driving more recreational drug use as a coping mechanism, I would believe that.
I don’t believe that shift workers are replacing cheap and long lasting stimulants with the most expensive stimulant available.
Thought they went to a 4 day work week.
