Now possesion comes with a banning order

What happens when you mix cocaine and alcohol
Increased toxic effects
Using cocaine with alcohol creates new elements. One of the most powerful of these metabolites is called cocaethyleneTrusted Source.
This product is stronger than either cocaine or alcohol alone. It increases toxicity to the heart, liver, and other major organs.
Longer method of action
Cocaethylene also stays around for a much longer time in the body than cocaine, and its toxic effects last longer. Alcohol also slows the removal of another metabolite, ethylbenzoylecgonine, from the kidneys. This raises the blood levels of cocaine and cocaethylene.

The exact same was happening with alcohol in 1920’s America.However, buying a bottle of red from the off licence or enjoying a few pints in the pub doesn’t cause kids to be recruited to county lines gangs, drive by shootings linked to turf wars or court cases like that recently reported in Liverpool

Legalise. Regulate. Tax.
