Singer says the drug is sensationalised
Wednesday, 7 January 2009
Lily Allen has been slammed for saying the risks of cocaine use are exaggerated.
The singer, who has tried drugs in the past, thinks coke is not a problem for some people.
'The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer,’ she told The Word magazine. ‘But that's not true.
'I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work everyday, no problem at all.
'But we never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn't sensationalise this thing that just exists. Some people are just bad at taking drugs.'
Shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve called the comments 'naive'.
'There is no doubt that drugs fuel crime and wreck lives,' he said.

I totally agree with Lily's comments. Most people in a club on a Saturday night off their face on an e are back to work on Monday and holding down a respectable job.
