 Me too. Here comes a pro-coce reference: "1904 (...) was the year the American 
 Food and Drug people took the cocaine out of Coca-Cola, which gave us an  
 alcoholic and death-orientated generation of Yanks ideally equipped to fight WW 
 II ..." (GR, p. 452). 
 Isaiah Two Four does not seem to have any dilemma with his coce snorting.
