Coming from a country that produces the best appetite suppressant on the planet by the metric ton!
Wait, so in your opinion
cocaine is the “best appetite suppressant”? Better than Meth, 4-MAR, α-PVP, MDMA, PCP, and LSD? (Not combined, I just mean one-to-one). I guess it depends on whether you rank something like a short duration-of-action as a merit or demerit. Given its price, this is a demerit for cocaine in my opinion.
I'll never get it i.e. somebody from South America pissing around with opioids!
I mean it takes all different types to make the world go 'round, proverbially speaking. You know, there are different drugs of choice for various people, and I suspect there's a degree of … you know how like import beer has a certain appeal to it simply because it was made in another country? As an American, drinking something like Budweiser is pretty ho-hum, even though it's fairly cheap and pretty goddamn good beer, all things considered. I'm not talking about Bud Lite, either; I mean Budweiser. But then in Rotterdam once I found myself drinking cheap domestic Heinekens there with a friend and some locals at a pool hall. This is back when they still used domestic, brown bottles and a green label instead of the green glass bottles with a red star. Doesn't block out the light as well and the beer skunks too easily, but not with the brown bottles. Those were the best Heinekens in the world to me, and meanwhile these Dutch jokers are all skulling these expensive, expired-tasting Budweisers telling me how lucky
I am to have access to cheap, domestic Budweiser. It was an enlightening moment… when you're piss drunk, I mean, just to qualify that.
It's like a vegetarian going out for dinner to a restaurant that serves up Wagyu beef!
Lol, yeah kinda. I mean, I think it's a bit of: scarcity tends to drive up price & value. There's this joke Doug Stanhope has about how if women weren't allowed to show their hands instead of their nipples in public, boobs wouldn't be nearly as interesting, and handjobs would be all the rage.

Trainspotting Renton mentions something about how they'd inject pure Vitamin C if they only made it illegal…
