cocaine

i have wanted to try coke for a while, but i have recently noticed that i get attached to drugs pretyy easily, and i heard it is easy to get addicted to coke. should i try it? is it really that addictive?

 

Youll be fine, just keep the price tag in mind

 

For some people, yes extremely.

Never was a fan of it myself. Not a pleasant buzz.

 

I have an extremely addictive personality and used coke maybe 40-50 times without developing a problem; maybe if it were cheaper I would have. When it's offered, I'll do it. Though I did and still do kind of love it (when it's not total cut up shit), I never had a real fixation with it like I did with booze or opiates. Though for some people it's really it, the ideal drug. People will tell you the worst thing about it is the intense but superficial conversations you'll have with all those insincere people. That can at least be fun at the time, when it's your turn to talk at any rate. The real worst thing about it is that it only really lasts 15-20 minutes, and it's so moreish that it's almost impossible to stop doing it until it's gone, and when it's gone you feel empty except for the crash. It isn't like dope where you can take a certain amount, you're good for a while, and it slowly fades away.

 

It is definitely worth a try.

 

Never was addicting for me, bc its too inconsistent. The one or two times i had really good stuff, i liked it.

 

Never really craved more, especially because of how I tend to feel the next week. The last thing I felt like doing was more blow.

 

Ive snorted cocaine about twice in my life. The only way ill do coke is IV. It is the BEST. I really enjoy that high. Very expensive though.

 

Yeah I agree with the guy above me IV is the best route. You get the most out of your money that way. Also I have never ever developed a problem and I have only known about 1 or 2 people that became "addicted" and that only lasted a couple of months. So yeah I would try it and not worry about it. But make sure you shoot up but do a very small shot the first time to get a feel for how strong the blow is

 

Seems allot of people on here can't get good stuff. Around my area it's all good. Well as good as you will find in America considering the cartel has stepped on it when it was still down south. Must be because of the large Mexican community here because they always have the good stuff. It's like 300 an oz with the right people, but I don't touch it.

 

in the sense that it will make you feel so good you will want to be on it forever, yes. it will make for a highly intense and an amazing experience.

but addiction doesn't really exist. for all that i love this drug, i have no problem going without for months on end. even though i feel like it's the best thing ever happened to me while i'm high on it, the next day when i wake up i'm glad to be in reality. i haven't detected a single trace of any of the mentioned addiction anywhere with any substance. the whole thing is a myth and a misconception.

 

It just sounds like you don't have an addictive personality. Basically you're saying "I didn't get addicted to coke, therefore it's a myth and no one ever possibly could".

 

I've had it more times than I can remember, and like with most people I've known, it's come and gone in periods of heavy use followed by months of none at all. There was a period about 6 years ago where I had a friend who worked as a chef with another guy who was from Columbia, and we started to get coke from this man directly. We would call him for an eighth and meet up with him and he would try pushing several ounces on us, to which we never agreed (although of course it was tempting). Neither of us had the self control to sell it (nor the desire to), we were using the stuff and had we an ounce laying around there would have been little chance we wouldn't immediately start with "Well, I'm supposed to be getting sometime overtime next week..." and with this guy, we probably would have been killed off very quickly.

Anyway it was the highest quality I've ever had, to such a degree that the first time we got it, we prepared ourselves one (what we thought to be) "normal" sized lines each, and it got us so high that we ended up sick. One of my friends was throwing up from it. I remember when it was somebodies birthday (don't remember who) we all threw in $100 and got $400 worth of it and it was gone in under three hours. The mentality that seems to go with it, for me at least, is if you have say a gram or under, you can do a line every 2 hours or so and feel ok, but if you have 1/8 or more, to yourself or shared with one other person, it goes fast, because you can't go more than 20 minutes without taking another line. The actual effects of cocaine last several hours, however, it is the rush that only lasts a few minutes that compels us to this compulsive behavior. With crack it is very much the same thing, only slightly more intense and shorter in duration.

As for the conversations, a very common complaint indeed, I can only think of one in my life that was pointless, and that was with some black guy I met on the street who promised me PCP and came back with two dime bags of crack. We took turns on his stem and finished them in one go, and immediately we were both off at the mouth about a bunch of shit, stood there for 5 minutes and then walked away from each other. I've not seem him again, lol. I've never really met anybody addicted to cocaine as a drug of choice, I've met people who buy it at every available opportunity, but do not use it daily; most of my experience has been with people buying heroin, stopping off to pick up a few bags of rock on different blocks. They would administer their heroin and then immediately after take a hit of rock. While I of course I understand it, I fortunately had grown out of my "anything and everything at once" phase several years prior and had no desire to emulate that behavior. I've taken coke and dope before, not by needle, but my imagination works pretty well to understand that I would not be able to settle for just one or the other, next time, lol.

 

my experience is the main compass i have to navigate the waters of life. i understand it can be a little different for other people, however i just don't buy the whole 'loss-of-willpower' concept that goes along with addiction. anyone can quit whatever it is they're doing if they really want to. if they can't quit then they don't want to quit.

if you start analyzing drug use on a case to case basis you'll see that problematic drug use always goes along with problematic something-else in the person's life. there's usually some major underlying set of circumstances that gets masked by the drug use. everybody pays attention to the latter, because that's usually the more prominent and socially outrageous phenomenon. but in most unhealthy cases it's only a symptom of something else going on.

 

im cool.. thanks..

 

I don't entirely disagree, but I don't think all drug users (in this case cocaine) necessarily become dependent because of other underlying factors. Some people just like it a lot and can't enjoy themselves without it. When they're not on it it's all they can think about.
I also think that in the case of drugs that don't cause physical dependence (depressants for the most part) you could argue that if someone keeps using it's because they want to, but that's only on a certain level. Someone can have conflicting desires simultaneously, such as wanting to slam some coke but also wishing they could stop. It is possible to lose one's will when it comes to drugs, or rather it is easy for a potent enough desire to override one's willpower. It seems like you're one of those lucky individuals who can enjoy drugs without coming to depend on them (which is the majority of people), unlike myself. And though it could be speculated that I'm like that because of other mental/emotional problems, it has much more to do with a pervasive boredom. A boredom that follows me even into situations that wouldn't be considered 'boring'.

 

i do agree with this. we just have a differential in viewpoint. you say this also qualifies as addiction. to me, this isn't addiction the way the popular media and drug enforcement make it out to be. the term has been abused by the latter authorities, its meaning twisted into something that doesn't exist. addiction the way they represent it doesn't exist, and that is the term i disagree with.

the way you mean it, a person wanting to do something really bad, and/or having conflicting desires when it comes to something, that is a real reaction anybody can have with just about anything really. people fall in love with other people like that. the way some people pursue their profession (pilots, race car drivers, artists, scientists, take your pick) is exactly the same. my point is, this isn't something specific to drug use. it's a universal trait in human beings. people who think they can eradicate it from human nature are completely out of touch with the reality of things. this is why rehab never really does anything except tag a person's drug use as socially more acceptable; after all he's officially trying to quit.

 

addiction is real and it is a disease. as a result of taking drugs such as ecstasy or cocaine often, brain damage occurs. meaning that when drugs are ingested, the neurotransmitter dopamine that causes happiness, is released at a level much greater than sober experiences. over time the dopamine receptors become overloaded and the brain produces more receptors, so that it eventually becomes impossible to be truly happy with out the drug. this could be wrong but this is what i have learned from past research. also from personal experience because my father is an alcohlic, and i have noticed that when i take drugs i get very attached to them, and i often find it difficult to stop using the drug on a regular basis. this supports the current theory that addiction is heriditary, creating a so called "addictive personality" in those related to addicts. by the way i would just like to state that i am not trying to preach an anti drug perspective, because personally i love drugs and use them regularly

 

I wouldn't say you're very likely to get addicted, but the thing about coke is it doesn't last very long and it just makes you want more coke, which is how people burn through whole paychecks in one night. Screw that.

 

And then there's the way people act around it...a bunch of so called friends trying to rip each other off, people snorting off toilet seats.
