Is it possible to use coke occasionally or is it just too adictive. I know it is a question with no deffinitive answer however it would be good to hear from people who use it for recreation and manage to keep thier "act together" and those who havn't!
The reason im asking is that im going to the UK where it is easier to get then here and i just know when it is offered i wont be able to resist.

i have foudn the best way for me to limit my use is to have someone very close to you (liek a g/f) do it with you.two heads are better hen one for me when it comes to drug addiction. or you could be bringing someone else down with you.
 
Of course you can use it occasionaly, it just takes will power. If after you try it you decide that you like it to much, then maybe you should stay away from it. But like all drugs, it really comes down to you having control over your own actions. Just be careful.
 
I find, along with most recreational cocaine users, that once you snort that first line, it is quite hard to limit your use for the night, I usually go until I run out.

It also, depends on your route of administration...

Snorted < Smoked < Shot


Will power is the #1 way to say no to the drug when its infrount of you.
 
It's definitely possible, it just depends on the person.

Generally it's pretty easy to moderate the use of drugs that you don't like a whole lot.

Generally it's difficult to moderate the use of drugs you DO like a lot.

So yeah, do drugs that you aren't crazy about more frequently than drugs you really like (this may not make sense but it prevents addiction fairly well).
 
Is once a week moderation? Um, I guess so. I'm definitely using it more than I thought, but I wouldn't say it is out of control.

You will begin to understand things you can and cannot do to regulate your own use to a level that you are happy with. For instance, I know that if I have it in the house and I have a few drinks, I'm going to do it. You start to learn your own weaknesses, and you can plan according to that (keep it at friends house or buy limited quantities).

It isn't so hard. But definitely watch out and recognize when you are doing it more than you should. Maybe you should think about how much you want to be doing this before you really start with it. It is easier to set these sort of guidlines before you get into it.


Maybe if I had done that I wouldn't be doing it so often.
 
You will end up doing it lots if you have the money- for me, I wanted to do it every day after I tried it but I couldn't because I didn't have enough money. Just be careful, it's so addictive.
 
Cocaine use CAN be used occasionally by some, but like all drugs there are certain people who should generally steer clear of it. Some people can drink responsibly and others are more prone to alcohol abuse and the same holds true for cocaine or any drug.

I have been using cocaine occasionally (about 6 times a year) for 4 years now. I have also held on to good blow for weeks without being tempted to do it. In fact I have never done more then 0.75 grams in one night, and I usually only do 0.25 or 0.5 accompanied by some beers. Cocaine isn't necessarily the nightmare drug like the media makes it out to be, on many occasions I will just hit a line and save the rest for another day. In all honesty I find it harder to hold on to weed then to hang onto blow so it depends on what suits you. The reason I continue to use cocaine, infrequently, is because I have never had a problem with it and never will. I know this from experience and you should know yourself enough to know whether or not this is a drug that you should be using at all.

Now there are definatly some people who should not use cocaine, those who tend to lose control of themselves and their wallets. I have several friends who find it very difficult to stop blowing lines once they start. After doing cocaine a couple of times if you feel like you lose control on the drug then it is not for you to be fucking around with. Know thyself, be honest with yourself.

I'm like you Harry.

Those first times I did it, I didn't know how to feel, but then I got over that and started enjoying it. Then a few years later when it was around my circle of friends more, some of them would do it more and more, and the more I did it, the less I liked it. I didn't like feeling "jacked" up, I didn't like waking up with bloody noses, or that terrible head cold feeling you have, I didn't like what my friends were starting to look like and do.

That's definately one drug that I would have much better off never trying.
 
Oh god yes it can be done. Many of the people here are proof.

I will do cocaine about once every two months, and only for 2-3 days at a time then 'stop'. Maybe one gram up my nose personally each day (lots of coke between a few people). It's a great drug when used in moderation.

Just make sure you have good willpower! Control the drug, don't let the drug control you.
 
My 2 cents, when you start thinkig of the things you would like to have going up your nose, it is no longer recreation. For me I have put an engine for my truck up my nose in the last few months. I am so pissed , but I continue thinking of cola all the time.
 
for best occasional use dont smoke or shoot it , snorting isnt to bad and remember to rinse your nose atleast when u done , will eat your nose if u let it sit in there
 
I used to shoot coke a couple times a week at least, but since it was never really my drug of choice (I just like/d needles) I had no problem stopping when the money ran out. Heroin is another story...
 
i only do it a few times a year.. i don't see why i should pay $60 for a gram of something that's highly overrated (at least when snorted, and that's all i do) so i only do coke when i get it for free. as that doesn't happen often i'm an occasional user.
 
Certainly. Only get what you want to do that night...If you think you can't resist getting it soon after, and question your control, you really shouldn't be using any sort of drugs though. I agree with the other posters OVERRATED. gimme meth any day :)
