Cocaine – the drink – goes on sale .

A
controversial energy drink called Cocaine, marketed as 'The legal
alternative' to the drug, was on sale yesterday, despite pledges by
Keith Vaz, the chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee to halt its
arrival in the UK.


Mr Vaz said: "It's totally irresponsible and I'd like to see the Environment department take action... to stop the company."While
the drink contains no cocaine, anti-drug campaigners are furious that
the product has been allowed on the market. Martin Barnes, the chief
executive of DrugScope, said: "This is a provocative and cynical
marketing exercise. I'm sure the majority of young people will see the
branding ploy for what it is, but making light of an illegal drug that
can cause significant harm is not helpful."The drink contains
350 per cent more caffeine than a can of Red Bull as well as banned
amino acids, and has caused an outcry from health experts who believe
it could be dangerous.The UK distributor, Shakti wholesalers, is supplying independent newsagents and off-licences.


Is this a good move or should they ban it ?
