According to UK threapist Steve Pope, who is a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), with a B.A. in Law, an Advanced Certificate in Counselling and a Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy, "spending two hours on a game station is equivalent to taking a line of cocaine in the high it produces."
Now I'm sorry, but this is simply crazy. Ok, so this guy has some serious qualifications, but really? Either this is the worst coke ever seen on the entire planet, or it's the most amazing video game ever created, we just haven't heard about it yet. This really did shock me, and I think it annoys me how ignorant some people can be on the issue. No way in hell should 2 hours of gaming ever be compared to 1 line of coke, and I know that with zero medical qualifications. What are your thoughts?

Its not stating that playing for two hours will make you feel like you did a line of coke but rather when you play for two hours the body is producing the same chemicals as if you had done a line of coke.
I can definitely say video games are way more addictive than coke, for the simple reason that I stopped using cocaine after college.
