yeah, even parts of Panama and Costa Rica have so much cocaine running through them that people basically just have gobs of the stuff on them and 75% of the ex-pats there are somewhere between drunk and coke-addled most days :P Mind trying to buy it as a tourist though, "Just follow me down this alley" - ah you'll prob just a confusing fast run around about needing to make change in a currency not your own and end up with a little bit of what you thought you were buying for a whole lot more than it should have cost...

Not my experience at all. The expats I met are usually doing some combination of bar work, yoga classes, and other such things. Among the entire cohort of the hostel inhabitants (mostly tourists I imagine?) I haven't seen one drunk or drugged person.
I did see plenty of drug dealers though - some shady dealers on the street and some very presentable resident dealers inside various venues. So there has to be a lot of drug use going on, just none that I have noticed.
