Does meth use kill your ability to get high from coke?

Have you found that to be your experience? I see it a lot with people, and i wonder if it is a coincidental thing. A person does coke for a while, then when they are low on cash or around friends that use meth, they try it and of course are way more rushed than before. And then they typically find it hard to 'go back' to coke and experience the high they used to enjoy, and coke's high price makes it even more irrelevant.
And coke disappears from their drugs of choice forever.
Have you experienced this? If so, do you think it has a neurochemical basis? (such as meth carving out large dopamine rivers that coke's little streams cannot compare too)
Do you think that experientally the small magnitude buzz of coke just doesn't compare in one's mind with the meth experience?
Do you see people that can use the two drugs together at the same time and enjoy both? How do they do it?
Do you see people that can switch between meth and coke well, and if so, what contexts do they use each particular drug in?
And lastly, are their any other drug highs that meth 'kills' the ability to enjoy?
 
well here comes another meth vs coke thread but...
actually, no. i have yet to see people that go back and forth between the two. everyone i know prefers coke over meth. the first time i did meth, i sat there blowing lines waiting for the high. i did a quarter gram in about 15 minutes, and this was quality shit. i was expecting a lot more because i was used to the coke high. coke has always been much more euphoric for me. i never got a real "high" from meth, i'd just be awake and things would be more interesting - i have yet to smoke it or shoot it though. i'm also the kind of person who hates being awake for days at a time.
have you tried shooting coke? now that's a fucking rush.
so to answer your question, no meth doesn't kill my ability to get high from coke, it's the other way around for me. to each his own.
peace, outkast
 
From what i've seen is people who do meth first and then do coke (if the coke isn't primo) they don't understand what they're supposed to feel, or theyre so used to the meth rush that they don't like coke or think of it as a 'waste'..... personally I used to do meth, now i won't touch the stuff, but LOVE coke and definately prefer the high. Coke is the shit... hehe

I think you may be onto something here. But, I think what you speak of is related to a person's developing preference for one over the other.
I started out doing coke. About a thousand dollars, or so later I realised coke sucks... at least for me. Some months later I found a meth connection and that has become my drug of choice.
A few of my friends like doing both together. However, when I am offered free lines of coke, I usually turn them down. I just really hate the little tic that comes with it "When should I do the next line. When should I do the next line." Ugh! Fuck that. That's why I like the long lasting effects of meth. That, and because coke is entirely overpriced.
 
Yes, i can see how the efficiency of meth makes it a way more effective drug of choice.
But most meth-heads i know not only turn down coke because it's not appealing, but when they actually take it, they get skitchy and paranoid, while most coke-heads get the typical boost of confidence and game. It makes me wonder if changes are going in the brain to make this happen.
But, yeah, outkast, it seems that the euphoric rush of coke, plus it's availablity, it's chick-friendliness, and it's sociablitiy keep it from losing to many people to meth. I just wonder if it's a biological predetermination, or if people burn out their ability to enjoy coke from too much meth usage.
Any more thoughts?
 
I actually like to switch off. Meth lasts
so much longer, and can give a great
euphoria. But I've seen SO many people whig
after just a day or so. But still, bein'
broke as I am, tweek is for me. When I have
the cash though I like to get a teener or so
sit down and shovel it in my nose. It has
to be high quality stuff for me to appreciate
it though. I like to feel my face go numb.
If it doesn't, it wasn't worth it.
I do know a few people who like to mix the
two. Both powders go into a pile (more coke
than meth) and lines are cut out.

i think it is true from the earlier post that these 2 drugs have a "primacy" effect if u will.... when u get into 1 and then try the other, your expectations and prejudgments come into play... meth people don't get the treadmill of the coke culture.... coke heads don't get the fact that the 1st line is the initial rush that u can't mimic over and over with more lines - you'll just stay up longer without the euphoria of coke-seems like a bummer
just an opinion from my observations

I know some long time meth heads who enjoy coke, sometimes. They both do a job on your brains ability to regulate more than a few neurotransmitters.
 
I've personally never understood coke i do an 8 ball with some friends and im just wide awake and the next day i want to kill everyone. ive only done speed once but it was alot of fun i had so much energy and i felt so good.

There probably is some degree of cross-tolerance, but it hasn't lessened my enjoyment of fine quality blow. Actually, I've found that if I've had a little meth earlier in the day, my coke high is enhanced...YMMV
