Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

No. Medical literature thoroughly refutes the claim that the social use of cocaine is harmless, demonstrating strong associations with severe cardiovascular, neurological, ocular, and gastrointestinal complications.

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains multiple comprehensive reviews and toxicological studies (papers 0, 1, 3, and 5) detailing severe, life-threatening medical complications—such as acute coronary syndrome, fatal cardiac arrest, ocular toxicity, and gastrointestinal ischemia—directly linked to cocaine use. There are no papers supporting the claim that social cocaine use is free of serious medical complications.
