Snort!

So far: so predictable! The UK government launched its 'war on drugs' yesterday. There are already reports of an enterprising journalist testing for and finding traces of cocaine, in all the toilets of Westminster's Houses of Parliament (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/06/tories-waging-war-on-drugs-cocaine-all-over-parliamentary-loos). Cocaine traces were even reportedly found in the lavatory closest to the PM's office. This should hardly surprise anyone, as many 'upper-class' folk seem to think that psychoactive drugs only cause problems in the 'lower echelons'. It's also worth remembering that cocaine was once treated as a miracle 'herbal' preparation (I helped review the historical data, several years ago). Queen Victoria took preparations containing it and Sigismund Freud swore by coke!
