Re-emergence of cocaine as the stripper drug of choice

When I first started clubbing in the northeast, weed and cocaine were definitely the stripper drugs of choice. But when I moved south of the Mason Dixon line, it seemed like opioids were far more prevalent. The nasty things about opioids are the powerful negative effects they have on immediate behavior, the ease at which one can overdose and the tremendous difficulty most people seem to have in kicking them. On the local USASG board, there are seemingly routine reports of overdose deaths of escorts and for a while they were not unheard of with the strippers as well.
Fast forward a few years and it seems as if cocaine is re-emerging as the drug of choice in the local club scene. I am seeing far fewer girls on H or pills and a lot more girls who are powdering their noses. Now obviously no drug is good and dependency should never be applauded, but it sure beats those fucking opioids.
Anyone else seeing something like this?

On my recent visits I’ve seen little evidence of drug use. Weed is now legal, so I don’t include that. Two dancers said they hate going outside to smoke weed so they are using edibles.
Girls can do whatever they want - I have no interest in that though, so don't expect me to join in.
Sex yes, lots of it, but not drugs.

People say that Oklahoma has a real serious narcotics problem, and it is WHITE PEOPLE, not what the media has led people to believe.

I've definitely met strippers who've done cocaine though. I've always seen heroin as something an incredibly tiny minority of people actually do. Cocaine on the other hand, I've met a lot of people who've tried cocaine. Very few regular users though.
Why is water wet? Why is the sky blue?
Knowing the answers doesn't change the reality or give us any more influence over it. All we can do as club hounds is to understand the reality and manage our own individual exposures the best we can. Some guys don't give a shit and will stick their dicks into anything moving, including a girl who is on the needle. I won't knowingly go beyond a girl who likes the sauce and maybe a little bit of coke. Some guys need to believe that the objects of their desires are stone cold sober. We each have out own tolerance levels and that's about all we really control.
I for one do not believe that things have to be the way that they are.
And of course it is not just strippers, it is the entire population.

I know that this does as much harm as it does good.
There must be other ways.

That really baffles me as well. I find it incredibly difficult to understand why our politicians are so anti-marijuana. 95% of Americans think medical marijuana should be legal and there is absolutely no reason to promote opoids over marijuana. I struggle to think of another political issue where 95% of Americans agree on something that isn't being done. Why isn't it legal everywhere? Our politicians are unbelievably stupid.
I don't know about you, but I'm not writing an academic treatise or trying formulate public policy. I'm simply a dude who enjoys strip clubs and, like everyone else here, has to deal with what military operations teams refer to as "facts on the ground."
I hear this, but I don't think that coke accounts for nearly as many OD deaths as heroin. It also doesn't make a stripper damned useless the way that heroin does. I've known plenty of people who have kicked a coke habit, but I can count on one hand the number of people who stayed clean for any length of time once hooked on heroin.
It's cute that you think our government officials care about those things.
It's about control; any resemblance to anything that might actually be beneficial to actual people is purely accidental.
I have noticed more dancers being more open in their pot smoking. I’m not sure if it’s been legalized in the Garden State yet.
She told me that the first time she had sex for money was at age 15. She says I was her first OTC customer at age 23.
She bounced in and out of active addiction for all the time I’ve known her. She is not a worse person than you or I. We’re told that addiction is a sickness and needs treatment, not punishment. But I’ll be the first to admit that after spending a great deal of resources “treating” her “sickness”, it FEELS like she made a choice when she relapses. And I’m sure that there’s a portion of the responsibility which can be recognized as a choice, but who gains what if we can make that determination?
She, when using heroin, got to be so good at dosing she could get by with a maintenance dose, not really getting high, but forestalling withdrawal. She grew to hate the drug, and determined that she had to stop using when the dope started coming through with fentanyl in that she couldn’t tell the strength until it was in her body. She said, if I don’t kick the drug I’ll be dead in a month.
While I was writing this she called to tell me that she had a good day, just got out of work, gets paid on Wednesday and will deposit some of the money she owes me at that time.
How long will she stay clean? She takes it one day at a time. Her Dad, an addict, has been sober more than 10 years. Her brother, an addict, was sober for 6 years and relapsed. She stopped using about 18 months ago and slipped and had a 2 week run about 10 months ago.
I’ve been guilty of enabling her by being a source of funding, but as she used to say to me, “ If not you, it’ll be someone else”.
