I would think that you'd be more prone to rob a bank after snorting some coke, rather than own one.

Unless it was a snowbank.

A Wet Helmet,
The thing on the folks you knew is that that seems like they lived a full lifestyle of that. Basing your life around any variety of stuff can and will likely ruin your life. I'm only twenty-four and most of the habitual users I knew as a teenager have already managed to fuck up their lives beyond repair.
One guy I knew was dead by twenty. He either ODed or someone dipped his needles in battery acid. I never got a clear answer on it. Guy was a sweet person, but hung with a wrong crowd and it did him in.
His cousin, who I was much closer with, had actually gotten away from it. He grew up in Lynn, MA, which for anyone who's spent time in New England, is infamous as one of the single worst cities in the entire area to live in. His parents made the smart choice and got him out of there in his mid teens. Unfortunately for him, his friends ended up following later and he fell right back into it and spread a bit of it around our suburban NH town. Last I heard, he's in jail for close to ten years over a hostage situation. I knew this dude pretty well and I can guarantee something like this would've happened to him with or without the drugs, though. He was always a rather sheepish and go along with the crowd kind of guy. He continued to follow the wrong one and it got his ass in jail.
Some people get out of it, some people don't, but nine times out of ten, it's the crowd mentality and the lifestyle that does these people in. A drink ain't gonna kill you unless you take your first one with a bunch of alcoholics (Though I honestly can't even say that fully, as my first drink was with three borderline alcoholics).

Edit! Apparently it's spelled "judgement" in British English, and "judgment" in American.
