coke fiend vs heroin fiend

for myself, stopping iv h use was easy. i just stopped. a few days of melancholy, sickness, restless legs, entire body cravings...it was like i wanted a medicine. i would think of going home and shooting up, of how it would ease the sweats and make my bones feel good again. i was not one who could shoot and then go out, i would shoot and caress and cuddle with a cute blonde and talk about inane or deep topics and watch strange tv. for me the h was always free. after i stopped for about four to six months, i bought a bag just to see...and the feeling was different. there was no real bliss, just mechanical, artificial feelings. i didn't have the day to day cravings that needed to be sated. i won't do h again, it doesn't interest me anymore, it doesn't have the same numbing feel as it did before.
snorthing coke in a small group is very enjoyable to me at first. it starts off socially inviting and welcoming and gradually degenerates into general bitchiness, crankiness, greediness, and everyone becomes an asshole if there isn't too much booze or aren't any benzos around. i will snort coke by myself, it's enjoyable but different. the social aspect is gone, i become somewhat more productive, just somewhat. it's easier to moderate doses, but still, if you have under a sixteenth, it'll probably end up tooted. the desire for one more line is very strong and for most people, whatever coke you have that night will be done that night.
shooting coke is entirely different. you might not use all the coke you have, but you will inject and inject and inject over and over from thirty to five to two minute intervals. it is all consuming, the pleasure from it is very base, it's like eating. you will shoot until your body is overloaded and often past that. it is very easy to od this way. Sometime after your 20th shot, you will notice it's not even fun or there is no rush or that feeling, but you keep on doing it. so now i no longer bang it.
mixing the two...h and coke... it's playing with fire and you'll most likely get burned...it's too easy to die this way, your judgment is off and you want a little more of this, top it off with that... you experience the full spectrum of desire and fulfillment, it is incredible and something i will never do anymore.
the very act of injecting, to hit the vein perfectly, see that blood plume, know you're in, taste it, just a little, test the strength...then plunge and fill it up with your crimson blood, getting every last bit of chemical and cut...pull out without a mark...it's so fucking sexy. if you play with needles, then be prepared for the consequences. situations WILL come up where you will be faced with a high by using someone else's gear. what will you do? do you trust yourself enough to toe the line? do you trust them enough to call the ambulance for you?
 
I did both
Coke: gets you high for 5-25 minutes and then you want more
Heroin: gets you high for 10-90 minutes and then you want to sleep. When you wake up you want more.
 
there is no such thing as a cocaine addict.
dumbest thing i've ever heard.
After mainlining coke all night, any normal person will be addicted for about 6 hours, possibly longer depending. Just because it is short-lived does not mean it isn't addiction.
what are you talking about? like there's a set amount of time and the addiction switches off...for "every normal person"
and as if there aren't long-term cocaine addictions.
 
As someone rightly pointed out the question of which is worse coke feinding or h feinding is meaningless. While I certainly wouldn't go as far as to say that one can become addicted (psychologically) to anything (direct injection of say substance P into the brain seems unlikely to be able to induce an addiction) it is undoubtedly true that individuals mileage will vary on this question.
What I can add is that in my personal experience coke feinding is way worse than h feinding. After shooting up h nearly daily for 5 days (okay to be fair a couple days I snorted) I felt very little desire to shoot it up again. Actually I felt a strong desire to do stims for the next while. Doing some lines of coke, or meth is way more reinforcing for me.
