So im very fairly confident that I am in no way of risk of an addiction, just wondering if this is a common thing with cocaine. I use to do it far more often before I discovered mdma, I much prefer it to cocaine. I can not socialize with non rolling people on mdma, so for my birthday I got some coke. In my past even at my peak use was still once every couple of months. I have never had a need or desire to do it the next day, but while im doing it I can stop. I picked up a 1/4 ounce for my brithday celebration at a casino. When I had done coke in past I could usually face an eight ball to myself, but bought more since I am going with alot of woman and friends who will obvious be wanting if they see me do it and prefer to have seperate for sharing. So i dipped in to try it out and see if it was good with two female friends. Before I knew it it was 6 am in the morning and and more than half was gone (girls did far far less than me). Is this common with other people, I feel absolutly no need for more the next day when I wake up and go months at a time (last time I did it was about 6 months) ago, but while I am doing it no amount of self control can make me not keep digging into the bag if I have some. This is a common expierence for me when I do coke wondering if this is common or I should be worried since if i dont have control to stop while doing it may lead into me doing it more often.
 
To do an 8-ball in a night. It's certainly not normal, unless you're charlie sheen. Nonetheless cocaine can do that to a lot of people when it's in front of you. I've never been able to keep left over cocaine in my life, I always bought 8-balls and nothing more for that exact same reason. Throw women into the mix it's a whole different story.
 
What you're talking about, whole "digging around" thing is one of the reasons you don't have to be a daily cocaine user to financially ruin yourself! You can easily spend 500-1000 in a night, well I really can't anymore because even a little bit makes me think I'm having a heart attack these days, but that's how it used to be for me...- I don't even enjoy cocaine, but it's very insidious, it kind of just happens where one day you get some and then the next afternoon you get this really intense craving out of the blue, and without even thinking you pick up the phone and call somebody for 50 dollars worth, you finish that in under 2 hours and then call for another 50! Then, at 1130 at night, you and the person your getting high with decide to make one more phone call, but this time you're gonna spend 150, but only do half of it and save the rest for next time!

^When I used to spend a lot of money on cocaine in a night, I was always turning it into base and smoking it, and I was never alone......I never spent 1000 a night myself, but defnitely had a good number of $500 nights and a whole shitload of $200-$300 nights....and I've seen some people able to use some scary amounts of cocaine in a short period of time.....so not to to contradict what your saying, or say that 3.5 grams isn't a lot, but some people can burn through coke like wild-fire! One of the reasons I always end up spending so much on coke is because I never just buy an 8 ball, I keep going back for 20s and 50s all night long when I run out.....

I'd say you definitely have something to be concerned about... having zero self control during the times you do decide to do coke is a problem and will most likely eventually lead to more habitual use.
 
^ +1, very little self control should be a bright, red flag that warns you to stay away from drugs.

side note....what up scags? what you been up to?
 
...it gets really bad when (if) you decide to IV it... I was pretty "in control" of my cocaine use for years, even with crack I would often stop and go to bed while I still had base rocks hanging out for me to smoke, and I could save them for another day. When I started shooting it though... it was all over.
 
I have turned 10g of high purity import cola into freebase crack with hardly any loss & smoked the lot in less than 24hours....a few times actually lol

never again though.
 
lmfao...wtf? pringles pop cant stop?? where the fuck are you from hahaha


umm but, yah coke is like pringles pop cant stop
 
Ubiquitous Pringles commercials from the 90s....co-occuring with "Snap into a slim Jim!"

actually, dont know when "Once you pop, you can't stop ended exactly, but the commercials had people playing pringles cans like hand-drums, it was very annoying, glad we're past that, pringles are like molded corn-meal and dog-shit,,,munchos too...

Also, fuck Funyuns! That's right!
 
So I am very confident now that there is not issue, i woke up with no real temptation to do more coke, even there theres little less than an eight ball left. That was 8 hours ago I ran some errands etc and chilled with my gf and bag is just sitting on my coffee table none of that feeling last night where i was staring at the bag and the "just one more syndrome". I think best way for me is to get no more than I want to do. If I want a long crazy night eightball (considering most likely going to share a bit) if I want a little pick me up at the club, but wont have a safe place to sit and do lines, a gram. You cant do what you dont have. I dont know many people who do coke regularly and my connect is 45 mins away so there is no real scenario if I do all my coke to just make a phone call and immediatly get more. I will stick to my rule of thumb of only doing coke, when having a big big night at a club. I have always made it a rule that I am not gonna do coke unless it a good situation for it (not sitting around with some mates and chilling) same concept I have with molly. Thanks for your advice and as always I feel drug use it always about know yourself, I know when it comes to cocaine, I am addicted while I am doing it and fine next day so knowing that I need to make sure not to put myself in a situation with an over abundance of it, or I can run into an issue. I think wat got me worried was its been so long since ive done it I just forgot this is how i get and that its normal for me. fortunatly now that i discovered blue light ever time and concern or question comes to mind I can check with a wide varitey of expierences and knowledge.

by the way, i think my reference to the 90s pringles jingle is a perfect analogy to a night with cocaine
 
It is a perfect reference. When I was doing coke, I didn't stop till it was gone. Then, if possible, I'd get more. And more. And then, more...
 
...it gets really bad when (if) you decide to IV it... it was all over.

Aint that the truth


on orig post.. Remember the compulsion or craving associated with an addiction to cocaine is not an all the time thing, hence why they originally thought it was not addicting.. people addicted to cocaine can often make it a fair amount of time with little discomfort of desire to use again.. but then when the desire is triggered or hits its only a matter of time until the person uses and as soon as the person uses just a little the compulsion is almost uncontrollable, why allot of people cant stop using it if they have any left. I'n other words when that iridescent white demon whore decides she wants to hang out a person will eventually loose the battle throw down cash and dive "one more time" into her lies and dance with her over and over till she has left the party and the person spun as top8o . The intervals of being happy and not desiring cocaine shorten and shorten and the cravings that end those now brief periods get stronger and stronger. If anyone wants to skip rite to the end and find out what it feels like to have no control, and possibly watch their life punch the time clock and take a long or permanent vacation while dropping them in hell, JUST load that rig rite up. Don't I have never even heard of someone controlling it with anything close to good coke. Anyone that thinks they can contol it, HA, your still doing it you will see what i mean. Actually hope not and hope everyone is well.
 
ya i get pretty bad for example i hate sharing i dont mind sharing line or two, but like I can "split it" or get bunch with multiple people unless im weighing it out. I get the whole "his/her line is bigger syndrome blah blah) if its all mine i dont have problem throwing few bumps around but i am very big on u have urs and i have mine when its equal splits
 
...it gets really bad when (if) you decide to IV it...

Qft.

Shooting coke is like experiencing a whole new drug.
Dangerously addictive.

I think about it every day. :|
 
ya i can def see how it can spiral luckly i am not in situation very often when its around, and also coke im getting is def not top notch, i really dont like coke, i mean i do i like it better than being sober obviously but its expensive and the redosing is a pain, since discovering the joys of mdma, usually after a night on cocaine Im like great I am out 150 bucks, could have spent 20-30 dollars and had way better time and not have to redose all the time, only thing with coke is that I can be much more social (as a normal person not a huged eyed sweaty gurning ragers) my mistake last night was thinking I can try it out before my bday night next week that it was intentionally purchased for. Expierence is a great tool in safe and fun drug use and now I have confirmed that I can not casually do coke, I am either going on a long binger for one night or not at all, and with that known I must only do it very rarely and for very special occasions
