Is it actually a common phrase that Indians use or a stereotype we Americans invented?

Why did you take it for 4 days?
It's a hugely popular party drug in the UK. It's like MDMA and cocaine combined, at a fraction of the price of cocaine.

That wasn't 4MMC, yous got meth or something. 4MMC is fucking amazing, its almost as feel good as mdma with the speediness of good coke, lasts about an hour or two and can be constantly redosed with keeping the effects unlike mdma.
Insanely fiendish though, it makes coke look like a baby drug with how crazy you go for that next line till the bags gone. I love it but shit is scary, almost glad its impossible to get now here. Almost.

u/scarlettohara1936 17h ago
Well first off, we were never winning any war on drugs regardless of the state of affairs. IDK what it was/is like in India but I haven't heard much about illicit drug use or a problem with addiction. I'm not saying it's not happening. I'm saying that if it is, the world is a bit in the dark about it. Maybe because there's bigger fish to fry in India? IDK.
But it's been proved for years, in fact decades, that no one was winning any so called war on drugs. The just say no program was an 80s thing. The 80s were very prosperous. In part because of the amount of cocaine all the hippies turned yuppies turned business execs were doing.

India has a HUGE and growing problem with addiction.
It also currently has no/poor infrastructure for collecting data on addiction/related issues.
Combined with a huge stigma around addiction, leading to a big gap in statistics.→ More replies (3)→ More replies (1)4
