Hi,
First post here at blue light: So I've seen this topic discussed briefly on this site but couldn't find a thread on the particular question. If there is one, please simply direct me.
So here's the deal: swim has smoked pot and drank almost daily for years, however, occasionally he's tried cocaine (mostly snorting, sometimes smoking/vaporizing) and he can't tell whether it's not affecting him properly or if that's simply the nature of the drug. His description of the effects: within about five to eight minutes of consumption, he feels the hairs all over his whole body stand up and he wouldn't say that he gets a rush of energy but he definitely doesn't feel tired and he likes to do things that involve moving such as cleaning the house and such (though he doesn't get talkative). He has a little more motivation given that it diminishes his inhibitions so he's more comfortable around people and he likes doing the things that other people wanna do, things that he would normally do grudgingly. His pupils don't really dilate and he can still eat even though he doesn't really feel hungry. He loses all desire for sex and couldn't get it up even if he tried (kinda feel likes being on acid in that regard). All of these things, however, are very subtle such that someone could slip him a dose of coke and he would notice a difference but would never suspect it was a so-called hardcore drug that he was feeling. The first few times he assumed he was just using some lousy, cut up blow but then he met people who said they could get fire. So he's done this so called fire with friends who do coke a lot and they say its really good and they go really fast on it. Swim doesn't. Swim was just wondering if being a chronic pot and alcohol user, he has a higher standard for what being "high" is. He's expecting a total change in his state of mind, a complete altering of perceptions etc... Also, the effects of coke always last around an hour to and hour and a half. Furthermore, he never used to crash from it before but this stuff he's been using lately causes him to crash even though he's never really high. From what swim's experienced, he doesn't understand how anyone could ever get hooked on the stuff (anymore than you can get hooked on nicotine.) Also, swim takes 60 mg of adderall xr everyday and he knows this has cross tolerance with crystal meth but wouldn't expect it to be the same way with coke(swim did coke before the adderall and had the same effects). What do you guys think?
