Is cocaine really as bad as people say it is?

^cocaine advocates say that, but IME good cocaine is far more reinforcing than amphetamines, meth definitely included (shit lasts so fucking long). i don't know how the uppers stack-up when it comes to being habit forming, but nothing turned me into a re-dosing robot like real blow. And so soon after each dose. I dont know anything about withdrawals, but the comedown from amphetamines is worse. Still cocaine leaves you feeling soulless the next day. better than feeling like a partially animate, rotting corpse, like after amphetamines.

Coke isn't the most dangerous drug .

It's not addictive ....
-It may be if you have enough money to be addicted to it
- it's cheap in your area .

+ tolerance builds fast . So it would be hard to get addicted ...

People do binge on it though .

Coke is simply to expensive and too short lasting for my liking .

For exactly the same price I could but some amps which I preffer

You're mixing up mental addiction and physical dependence man. Cocaine is very mentally addictive, but not physically. You can easily become addicted to it as a not so wealthy person, by selling it, stealing/robbing, or in the case of a friend of mine, stealing 30,000 dollars from his parents over 6 months. High tolerance just causes more destruction, but doesn't lessen addiction, as I witnessed this kid do lines of coke longer than textbooks. Binging is the only way, if anyone can have 1g of coke and just do .5g one night and save the rest for another time, well they're a champ!

I agree with your next point, plus the comedown is shit and so is the high.

I prefer amphetamine too as I simply hate coke, but amphetamine tolerance builds fast too and in some ways will be more addictive as it is an easily used drug every day, whereas Cocaine is more of a party drug and in most people's minds won't enter the realm of something that is OK to do at school or work (not that people don't, just saying amphetamine leads into this use more easily).

Cocaine is not a good drug, it is bad for your heart and very addictive. But as bad as parents and teachers say? WTF do parents and teachers really know about drugs, or rather, why would their knowledge if they have some sway them towards encouraging/downplaying the dangers. No, it is probably not AS bad as they say, but it is bad, it ruins lives and in my opinion is actually just a shitty drug to avoid anyways as it isn't worth it any sense.
 
Cocaine is definitely HIGHLY addictive, I knew one guy once, he 'only' drank and smoked grass..
We were at a party, I had a half gram of coke, I NEVER use it (although I use other drugs :/), but I had a half gram. I take it out and rail a line, the dude asks for a bump, I oblidge as I was quite 'empathetic' at the time.
Again, he never used cocaine before, but he ended up spending 175$ that night and morning and actually went psychotic the next day...
Be carefull brother.
 
Pointless + expensive + addicting = very bad (both as a drug and as a habit)

Amps rule over cocaine but the addiction is ten times worse.
It's a bit like comparing cigars with cigarettes IMO. One is expensive, a bit pointless and not very addicting, the other one is cheap, effective but much more addicting.

I say, leave coke to the high class showoff douchebags and stick with dexedrine. Try to stay out of meth.

Coke really isn't that expensive here, amps are disgesting if you compare them to coke. I get no europhia from amps what so ever. But coke on the other hand, Wahoo! But I guess everyone likes different stuff, some people like feeling like shit and some don't. I find meth to more enjoyable then coke but the comedown from meth is living hell compared to cokes comedown.
 
don't believe everything parents and teachers tell you...

yes it is addictive, but only psychologicaly (strongly), but not physically.
if you use once every month or so you won't get addicted
and if you're using sparingly you shouldn't have any heart problems unless you are predisposed to them

considering i'm from the same place as you i think it is expensive.....
 
Haha I loved the "cocaine is to amps as cigars are to cigs" analogy. Great stuff.

Ive done coke several times and never found it to be anything special. It can be very addicting if you enjoy it(which I dont really), but only mentally. Its not like opes where you will go into physical withdrawal if you miss a dose. I usually feel more euphoria off coke compared to amps, but the duration of coke is such a joke(crack is even more silly, your literally high for like 45 seconds) that amphetamines seem so much more ideal. If you are into uppers, save your money and head to an ADD specialist, say you cant focus, and get some adderall or desoxyn(good luck) ;)

Also, while the processing of cocaine does contain volatile chemicals(such as acetone) once the chemicals evaporate it leaves the powder completely pure, so anyone freaking out about "trace" amounts of acetone can rest assured their cocaine is safe. What your street dealer cuts it with is a completely different matter, however...

To sum it up, yeah cocaine can be addicting, yeah its no good for your heart, but will it do severe damage to your body with a few uses? Definitely not. I love how school teachers talk about how terrible drugs are without having personal evidence that they are bad besides the common knowledge that they can be addicting.

Remember, everything is better in moderation, although I wish I could take my own advice
 
Meh

Cocaine is one of my off limit drugs. I've seen people who are addicted to it, and it's not a pretty sight. A guy I knew got addicted to it, and he sucked a guy's dick for cocaine (no joke).

I'm no doctor, I haven't ever done it, but after seeing what happened to the guy I knew, I've decided to stay away from it.

It's like that with all chemicals if the user has no self control, or moral lines drawn. Not preaching nor judging anybody, however, no matter my addiction, I have always worked for what I Wanted. When I spent every penny I have never stolen, robbed, screwed people over to feed my habit. Sucking dick- that's just right up there with eviscerating and eating, well, anyone.
No matter the drug- from alcohol to meth, if a user has no self control combined with the propensity for self destruction and low self image, they potentially will do anything to step outside their skin.
Free will is a bitch.
 
Drugs are bad mmkay

I prefer downers, but as I am under Dr's care and take subs, no opioids for me. What's left? I settled on cocaine. Years ago I smoked crack( first time ) with a woman I had been dating - gorgeous, intelligent, witty, funny, you know, with it. After an hour and a few good puffs she ssshhhh'd me because the guy in our hotel room was watching her - we were alone see. After I realized she was serious I was so embarrassed for her and disappointed too, I presumed losing control, bad trips, wiggling out, were for people with low IQ, or issues so deeply rooted (which I have) only hard drugs brought them closer to the surface, etc. To this day, I don't have an answer as to why people lose their shit. I just know I don't like to lose control, or not be accountable. I handle my shit. If you lose control and self destruct then don't do drugs.

Cocaine is as bad as the user allows it to be.

Damn. That really resonates with me. It was like a slap in the face - in a good way. Not that I've done anything too crazy to score, but I've definitely done some things I am not proud of. Mainly stealing.
