coke v ecstasy

I've tried ecstacy and I'm thinking of trying coke this summer - which (in your opinions) is better and what are the differences and similarities in their effects?

 

You can't really say which is "better" because different people will prefer different ones.

Sometimes I'd say e is better because it is so much cheaper and well, if you've taken e you'll understand. But then again sometimes I prefer coke because there is very little comedown or hangover compared to e and you have a pretty clear head when you are on it so if something unexpected comes up, like a bad fight breaks out or someone od's or you have to drive somewhere quickly (all of which happen pretty frequently to me) you can handle it much better.

As far as similarities go, you have lots of energy on both (more so with coke than e for me), and things like stretching, having sex, dancing, feels good on both (better on e though of course), sense of euphoria on both (again more so on e), both put your heart under alot of strain and both dehydrate you severly, so keeping cool and hydrated and taking breathers aplies to both. But really the experiences aren't very similar at all.

 

E is far safer than coke and produces a far better euphoria (since it has some psychedelic properties). Both are good stimulants but cocaine has more of a stimulating effect when it comes to needing less sleep, more strength, ect. The high of coke is like caffeine except far far more powerful and better (though more dangerous of you get addicted). The high of E can be a bit psychedelic (especially like mescaline's body buz).

 

I've actually never taken X, but from what I understand of it, it's like speed with more of a psychotropic trippiness, with empathy instead of hyped-up paranoia.

X is definitly a safer drug. the thing with coke is that the first time you do it, you simultaneously think:
a. "this really isn't that big of a deal. I don't even feel all that different."
b. "this is just perfect"
or that's what I thought. then it'll wear off and you will almost definitly want more. and then more. I used to do it somewhat frequently. it's been maybe half a year since the last time; I still think about it everyday. and I've seen it turn friend's lives into train-wrecks, but I don't regret and it and know I'll do it again, and I think that is okay.

sorry for the digression. again, never took X, but I would say in comparison to blow it's moderately more fun with moderately less strings attached.

 

e.. fuck man i hate the mentality of "oooooo a drug i havent done!! lets do it!!" fuck man chill out stick with e and dont do coke!

 

Coke is a pretty addictive drug, no kidding. Also a lot of coke has meth cut with it.. a lot of dealers will cut something else with the coke to get more weight (they also add glass sometimes) so it can be pretty dangerous.. but I do it quite a bit and i enjoy it.

 

*Please disregard.

 

I feel with e that thre is no way of knowing what you're taking - i realise there's not much diffrence iwth coke, but e is a much newer drug. So people who take pills are like walking guinea pigs.
I dunno - I've liked it when I'v tried it and I guess I'd like to try coke too... just to try it. But i've been thinking about it and it seems like you get al the engery you get on e without so much of the euphoria... which hardly seems worth it for the price?

 

ecstasy = happy
coke = king of the world

i prefer happy

& coke is super addicting

 

Well I have been addicted and gone to rehab for both so I guess I have some insight in this thread.


Coke is extremely addicting and very pricely. I could snort a ball in about 1-2 hrs and thats about $100. It feels good at first but then you feel like shit after words and start phening out. Your nose feels like shit and the next day you will probably say you dont want to do it ever again, though next time you get enough money your eyes will get wide when you realize you can buy a bag. You will get so exicited when you get the first nummie on your lip which feels so amazing, and then your in the same exact cycle.

Um and E....Well I used to take around 8 pills a day for around 3 mths straight and I went from weighting 140 to 108 so I wouldnt advice not taking it. Maybe do E once or twice or something but I got to the point where I was addicted and was really pshycologically drained from all the serotione that was taken outta my brain. If I did E I would have to take at least like 3-4 pills even to feel anything, though it is cheaper then coke.....
so take your choice.

 

E truimphs...

 

E is good stuff, but Ive bought bunk E alot more times than cut up coke. E also lasts about 4-6 hours. Coke lasts an hour or two then you re bump. Its easier to control while taking it, but it IS psychologically addictive. Sex is great on both but better with good E.

 

cant E be either speedy or smacky? That would me a big difference imo

 

i have been a coke addict, but i didnt need rehab. to leave it, if u buy a gram of coke and u have the chance of buying more u will, its really addictive, i havent tried E but i think is more less the same thing

 

Ecstasy all the way (although I've quit the shit now; it's just too dodgy a game to be in).
Coke is too fucking expensive, fucks your heart up, has a shit short buzz that's really an insult to the way the body should work and above all it's highly physically addictive!!
There's no contest really; coke is generally cut down with other things (speaking from what's going on in this area) as well so that the dealers make profits AND some free sniff.
Anyone that favors coke over E must have had one line too many..

 

Ecstasy.

PURE ecstasy, that is. Anybody who says cocaine is a better drug than MDMA- has obviously never had pure MDMA. The street shit is plagued with uppers like meth and whatnot- but pure mollie is some of the most incredible stuff.

Oh, the love and empathy from E! Its an amazing drug that breaks down communication barriers, promotes love, peace and happiness, and helps build relationships and treat depression.

Coke is addictive, harmful, expensive, cut, and often promotes violence and very stupid choices (i.e. running from the cops).

So, you decide, coke or E?

 

Woah, hold your horses guys. I actually disagree that E is safer than coke. Coke is more likely to kill you, but E can give you serious brain damage very quickly. It has been proven time and time again. In fact I know someone who did E every day for a little while and he swears he hasn't felt quite the same since. I've tried coke a couple of times but I would never do it again. I would never try E. Anything that makes you artificially happy like that is basically frying the shit out of your happiness neurons. I had a HORRIBLE comedown from a night of coke, and I knew right then that anything with a comedown that bad is NOT good for you, and E is even worse.

Sorry, I know I didn't answer the question and I'm sure no one wants to hear me preach. To each his own, gosh knows i've done stuff that was bad for me too, but I personally would stay away from both of them. Honestly E is probably a lot better though. Coke really isn't that great, it just gives you a little warm feeling in your body and some extra energy. Whatever, I'd much rather take a huge bong rip and get transported to another reality.

 

Ecstasy and its neurotoxicity is entirely controversial at this point.

I have read studies that claim it damages your brain- while others claim it causes no significant long-term damage.

Consider this; the people in those studies have taken ecstasy on a regular basis (usually every day or so) for YEARS. Taking E on occasion will not really do any damage to you.

Anti-depressants like Prozac also act on the same serotonin synapses as Ecstasy does- and people take anti-depressants for their entire life sometimes! I have yet to see a study showing where their brain damage is- granted E is probably a lot stronger- but my point is its basically harmless so long as you are not taking it on a regular basis.

 

E is horrible for you, i say it time and time again on these forums, but onlt when taken chronically at high doses like your friend here...coke also has scientifically been proven to cause damage to your dopamine nerve system when abused...erowid it if you dont beleive me.

 

I believe that about coke, for sure. Artificial happiness = bad.
