I know this is an old thread, but I lived through the carpet bombing of America with coke in the 80s. And this was essentially super coke in that it had not been cut when you had the right sources. If you lived through it, you know what appeal of real coke. Having said that, I am sure many, many people who thought they were doing Cocaine in recent years were, in fact, not. As over time, the majority of street coke is highly adulterated. Pure cocaine isn't about "energy" or "hyperactivity" but is capable of creating a god-like sense of euphoria that while required redosing quite frequently, it was about as euphoric as a drug could be. And almost created a sense of grandiosity that is hard to describe. It's why back in the day, so many people were addicted to it ,and back then a gram was 100 bucks and and 8 ball was 300. But with pure coke? A little bit goes a long way. The more hands it touches, the less coke you get. Now, you have people created garbage concoctions of chemicals, call it "Coke", it is nothing of the sort. In fact, aside from not wanting it any longer, you couldn't pay me to ingest the "street coke" of the day. In fact, anything that comes from any source at this stage of the game may not be anything you think it is. And as time goes on, it will all get worse. And greed and shitty people will ensure that.
The people will remember the pink and yellow coke that was common back then and when you got it, you know it. And it was before recon rock became common, where people added cut and then compressed it to make it into rock form again. Back in the day, you could buy an ounce of pure coke that was literally all one piece. And back then, a half a gram of coke might last you an entire afternoon and evening. It was never perfect and it has its down sides of course, but pure coke is pretty insanely good. It's one reason why it is so psychologically addictive to many people. But like all drugs, as you lose control and build a tolerance, the side effects become unmanageable. And of course it is very bad for your cardiovascular system.
