Coke - why don't I like it...?

Okay, this might be dumb, but I have tried coke roughly 10 times in the past few years... and I do not see why people like it. Am I just not doing enough in my lines? I assumed it was just my body chemistry, i.e. some people like some drugs and others don't. I roll semi-regularly with GHB (once a month maybe, or a little less) and that is such an awesome feeling. Maybe I just expect such a great high from other drugs and am let down.
Coke makes me feel like I had a couple expresso shots, nothing really exciting. Then 20 minutes later I am calm again and kinda tired and that was that. Is there something I am missing???? Not that I want to get addicted to anything, but just wondering if I am just not feeling it like everyone else is.
In any case... anyone else just not really like coke???
i agree. im feel the same way on coke. i dont see how people get hooked on it. it doesnt make me feel good at all. i have done it and always ask myself" why did i do that"?

i have done it and always ask myself" why did i do that"?
See? THAT'S the very definition of cocaine.
"Gee, the high isn't worth the comedown."
"Gee, my nose hurts like a bastard for the rest of the week."
"Gee, I blew $200 for THIS?"
"Gee... why am I buying more?"
... and somewhere in the middle, the ultra-laughable lie...
"Gee - if I buy an 8 ball, I can bag it up separately, have enough for a few nights out, and save some cash."
If you're laughing, it's because you've been there.

you know coke is like a good guy bad guy scenario. if your the type that enjoys coke when you first start doing it you don’t you don’t see the bad guy too much. you get a good high and may become more social able and all. but as you start doing it more you see the bad guy much more and the coke becomes more of a need. so much in fact it will likely make you less social, do the things you like less etc. this is much more evident especially if you have lots of cash to burn and easy access to coke. it’s like anything else if your one of those people who like coke it’s often better in moderation—if you do it too much you still get high but it’s a pointless high.

Just go to www.google.com and type in "cocaethylene". It is indeed the result of doing coke and alcohol at the same time. This chemical is probably why the combo produces less anxiety, more euphoria, and a non-existant comedown (because of a longer half-life). Cocaethylene is also believed to be much more toxic than cocaine, so use your own discretion. Also, drinking alcohol just prior to using coke increases the bioavailability of the coke, thus giving a better buzz.
The combo really is the only time cocaine is even worth doing, and even that is a bit of a stretch.
^^^^^WORD. As for me, the comedown is definitely NOT nonexistent if I do coke when I'm drunk. In fact, it usually makes the comedown worse if my blood alcohol level is falling while i am coming down. The only time it is worth it to do coke is if it is free, you are very drunk, and you have benzos to knock you out at the end of it.

Sorry to jump in here guys, but Coke is definately an aquired taste. First time I tried it it just got me into a bad mood and I went to bed, leaving the remaining 2gs for my friends to finish off! Nowdays I'll lick what's left off a table... sad but true.
It took about 2 years of occasional use (and I always got it free) to get a 'taste' for it. But until you get that 'taste' (which creeps up on you like a bitch) it's impossible to explain what it's all about. I've got it under control now, but looking back it's my friends that said 'so what?' a couple of years ago that got their lives fucked up later on.
Good luck!
Gary.
I feel the same way, its a taste that must be aquired...

i fully agree, that is my current situation with substance use...

Look guys cocaethylene is nasty shit causes seizures and from what I remember is not particularly euphoric. You feel less anxious b/c this is just what alcohol does same effect with meth, or sub benzos for coke.
Coke is by far one of the best party stims around...if you are getting tired so fast and not enjoying yourself you need more.
Start injecting...can't say you'll like it at first but soon you will be drolling over the thought of it....dunno whether that is good or bad.

If you don't like Coke, don't do it. You are lucky. I don't like it either. My best friend and husband are addicts. Believe me, they did not set out to be. It is a miserable existance, for the addict and for the codependent.

 

[rollergirl76]

Thanks for all the info/opinions guys!!!
I think the only help to the ego booster that it gives me is making me want to punch someone in the face and be overly-aggressive, and i am a little girl so that's probably not too becoming...
Since I first posted this, my friend had some leftover C, and I did it with some mild GHB. WOW for 5 minutes I felt great, almost like E+G. But then it slowly but surely wore off and I was annoyed and bitchy and cranky and slept for 12 hrs. So, yeah, I am pretty glad I don't like it. The only thing I DO like about it is it does not take 5 days to recover from. But I am glad I heard from others aren't all into it either. I have some friends who just love the stuff, I wondered if I was missing something! Well, I guess I can save my $$$ for the drugs I DO like!

I think the "problem" is that you are not doing enough coke rollergirl76.
Everyone will have a similar experience on coke, it's one of the simplest drugs in many ways, it increases dopamine levels which is your natural pleasure drug.
Now of course the feeling you get may not be to your particular taste, everyone is different in what feelings they subjectively like. Like you
I'm not hugely keen on coke, although I still like it occasionally.
So if you want to try it propelry, you'll need to get a lot, and make sure it's good quality. If you just get a feeling like you've drunk an expresso, then you've just snorted caffeine my friend!

Craziness...
I am almost ashamed to say that I felt the same way about coke until just last weekend. I've always blown maybe 5 or 6 small lines (just for fun just for free) and I was awake and alert and blah blah but I just didn't get why all the cokeheads around me were having the times of their lives.
FINALLY I think I had an epiphany (sp? those are the holes in my brain) just this Friday. A friend of mine who pushes hooked me up with an 8-ball for free. Yes FREE with a little persuasion. My good friend, this DD and I sat down and throughout the night finished an 8-ball each. I've never done this much before (I know don't scold me) and as soon as I stood up after my first few lines I felt a rush not like anything before. We eventually finished 3, 8-balls each and I left there with 2 grams in my hand for the next day (I wound up doing those in the morning cuz i couldn't wait) I guess I had never done so much before and I literally felt on top of the world. So I guess I'd say if you REALLY want to feel how good blow can be, you have to take more (in moderation that is) I literally felt all the increased verbalization and euphoria that rolls havent given me in a looong time. So again if you want to have a good time try finding better quality yey or maybe just some more.

The first time I tried yay 3 of us had 5 fat lines each and I honestly couldn't understand what all the fuss was about, but I think it was more like I was trying to understand the kind of high coke was giving me, I mean it's so different from everything else I usually do, mostly bud, psychedelics, downers, and e...
Coke just grew on me, it's the total opposite now, I love it :D yes the comedown sucks ass, for me it's the runny nose that drives me nuts as for the crankiness/tiredness, well for me that's what benzos are for...luckily I'm not quite a fiend yet, just a line here and there if it's around...it's harder to control if you have other friends who like it too, it's definitely a lot more fun when you do it with someone else...

After doing over 10 grams of coke AbsolutLeftE, how the hell did you get to sleep? Inquiring minds want to know.

[inthegame]

Maynard I don't think they ment 3 eightballs each, cause' if you can do 10 grams of the stuff in a night......... get a new dealer haha

 

[AbsolutLeftE]

maynard, I think you misunderstood. I would never want to do 10 G's a night. We EACH had an eightball. Just to clear that up. And by the way, I sleep fine after I smoke a bowl or two to my head.

 

[maynard]

Thanks for clearing that up, I was hoping I read it wrong.

Last thursday was my first time ever doing Coke. I just wanted to know if it was all that I heard about in movies and around town. So thursday I bought a gram for $80 and on Saturday I bought an 8 ball for $220. I love the high and even the taste. I am having a hard time not doing the rest during the week. I really only want it for the weekend. Its not something that I want to do alone. 5 min after I do a rail I feel like I could fuck any girl that walks by. This Saturday ill compare it with some Crank. Ill probably go buy some more Coke before I get the Crank for free just so ill have a back-up and still have a good weekend.

 

[on a short leash]

its weird, but with coke i alternately love it and hate it. i am repulsed by it yet drawn to it. when i do it, i enjoy about the first 2-3 hours. after that, my head turns into a circus and i have to take something to calm down like a benadryl. if its shit (or particularly strong), i have to take a benzo.
depending on the cut, it can be a great night with no bad day after or a horrific experience.
strange question: has anyone ever had the experience of being able to do less and less coke to get high? i'm wondering if there's something wrong here. i used to be able to do quite a bit and be high for hours. with what i've been doing lately, it gets me very high very quickly and i can't do a lot. otherwise, i am bound to keep doing it and the circus comes to town. i don't drink AT ALL, and i don't do other drugs unless it is to come down.
lately, i've just only been able to do small amounts of it. some batches leave no trouble, some have left everything upstairs inflamed and tender (like my current batch).
honestly, i wish i'd never done the shit in the first place & it sucks for me to even do these days.

I have heard of this, i was told it was a symptom of heavy use. (Wierd isn't it!!)
I also heard that it was the first sign of an impending coke crash or psychosis if heavy use is continud.
