Woah woah woah, will someone please think of the cocaine users?

People have been using money forever, they’ll be fine.

That's gross. Paper straws are the way 🤌

Ivory for an extra dose of cruelty!

Quick edit: do not use paper straws for cocaine. Porous material will absorb your product. Also heat your surface before chopping, to make the product as fine as possible.

Stop making it complicated. Just line it up on someone's ass and get your nose down in it like god intended.

That one’s checked off my bucket list, and I cannot be more happy.

People carrying cash now are worrying.

(I'm kidding, though I don't carry much anymore. Enough for some gas or something if there's an emergency and my card doesn't work for whatever reason.)
