Many people have different opinions regarding this topic. I would go with selling drugs. Legal drugs. 
Yes it is well known that drugs are bad, and ruins a person's life. So why would I consider it is better than selling soft drinks such as Coca Cola. Here are some reasons for my answer:
1- Selling drugs with good intentions, like medicine, will contribute to society.
2- Cola is bad for people, and the only gain I may get by selling it is money.

That is my opinion on the topic. Feel free to disagree, I would love to hear your opinions :)

I agree. (✿◠‿◠)
Well, if you're talking about prescription drugs, then of course that's better than a soft drink. Although prescription drugs may have side effects, the more likely effect of using them is to help you. Soft drinks, on the other hand, are known to have bad side effects on the teeth, body, bones, and pregnancy if you drink it too often.

If you are talking about illegal drugs, then that is a whole different topic. Honestly, I would choose Coca-cola over illegal drugs. Chronic drug intake will definitely lead to worse effects than those of soft drinks, such as hallucinations, formications, and death.

Tbh at least coca-cola is trying to find ways to make cola with the same taste only better for you. Coca-cola life for instance has gotten rid of a lot of sugar content for a slightly healthier alternative while still tasting EXACTLY like regular cola.

Legal drugs, sure sometimes they help people. But they also can have severe side effects that make things worse. Plus with legal drugs they can cost £17 for a box of 15 tablets that can be the line between if you live or die but if you cant afford to pay for them every month you're left to suffer.
Coca-cola is £1 per bottle in most stores.

Now Coca-cola everyone knows its bad for you, everyone knows it has high amounts of sugar and no one tries to hide that. However my doctor when prescribing me tablets didn't actually tell me that they could make things 500 times worse, send me into panic attacks and make me vomit every day for two months before she was willing to take off of them and put me on something else.

You know why prescription drugs can be so expensive? You know why multi-million dollar corporations make drugs? Profit. Of course they say they're just trying to help people but if they were 'just trying to help people' why would they make it cost people more than they can afford to live a healthy life? Why would they refuse to help people dying of disease in third world countries? why would they make it so a single tablet that could make a person in a third world country healthy cost hundreds of pounds more than they could ever afford? Because they don't actually care about making people healthy they care about profit.

So you know what, okay coca cola is bad for you and all they are doing is trying to make a profit. But at least they're honest and affordable about it.

You have a very interesting opinion on this topic, but the real question is, which one are you willing to sell? Legal drugs or Coca Cola. What would you prefer to offer?

Casually goes off on one xD But yeah, It depends on the position would I be working in a pharmacy or owning the company that makes it you know? Whichever makes me the most money really. Which would probably be drugs.

Also just adding on my previous point. When I went to Madagascar a few years ago you know what I found literally EVERYWHERE? Coca-cola (yes even in the furthest part in the forests villages there was coca-cola). You know what I didn't find literally everywhere? Medicine.

prescription drugs themself arent 'bad' but the fact that alot of people cant afford the medicine they need is a sad fact of life :/ but Remi has some good points. i have a friend who's tried a lot of antidepressants and adhd meds and most of them either didnt work, or had awful side affects..

Kind of odd to make black and white statements like that.

Coca-Cola is not bad for you. Drinking it in excess might cause harm but you could say that about anything. Heck you can get water intoxication / poisoning if you drink too much of it.

I had seen the side effects of "Coca-Cola" thing. Yeah, the link is here: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/01/12/what-happens-to-your-body-within-an-hour-of-drinking-a-coke.aspx

However, there are definitely serious and minor side effects of medication. It's not harmless, And no, I can't list them all. But I would know because I take medication (it's important I take my medication because it helps me be stable). And yes, illegal drugs aren't good either. I'd say the illegal drugs and "Coca-Cola" are about equal.
