I'm not so sure we'd see a wave of new cocaine addicts simply because they are legalized. Legalized doesn't mean the government will provide a safe supply - it simply means possession of it (in certain small amounts deemed to be for personal use) is no longer illegal. Cocaine isn't cheap and not nearly as addictive as other drugs, so while some might get addicted, I don't worry too much about it become a crazy problem.

So how do you make safe supply available then? Isn’t that what we’re talking about? Your second paragraph totally contradicts the first.
What does coke not being as addictive as other drugs have to do with making coke available and it’s own addictive properties?
Who said it would be a crazy problem?
