How addictive is cocaine?

[adder]

~3.5g cocaine is a lot, given that a dose of say 40-50mg pure cocaine gets you when you want to be, doing 3500mg in 24 hours is impossible. Well, that's what I was talking about, you never get what you really pay for. And like I wrote, I hate stimulants but aside from plain amphetamines I can take cocaine or 4-methylaminorex (amphetamine structure in it too but it's different). I think this means something if I'm addicted to downers (another month on methadone after bupe let down and earlier tens of morphine derivatives and fully synthetic stuff plus benzodiazepines for 6 years day in, day out).

I'm during a period when I say "no" for drugs for teenagers, been there for too long and I can't get out. This is a road to hell. I could bear taking MDMA/MDA or ketamine like every two weeks or some psychedelic once in a month but that's completely another story.

I freak out and get all superhero complexy if I hear some good music while stone cold sober and am definitely staying away from any sort of uppers. Even caffeine (I love the blackest of black coffee) makes me fly off the deep end where I can't sleep for the whole night if I have any after noon. Haha I can handle myself better 12 beers deep than I could on 2 cups of coffee :S. So yeah I probably wouldn't be the best person to be asking about this. In fact, I probably shouldn't even be responding...damn mind and its need to hear a whole album. Artists don't even think of people listening to their songs in order any more.

Sorry for the tangent ummm yeah...obviously everyone here seems against it but you want a real answer and probably have made your mind up anyways. Basically once you try it you can't go back and it will always be on your mind. Yes innocence is truly bliss. The only issue I've ever had with hard drugs is opium (only fresh poppies/tea/etc. but still) and luckily for me I have a weird mentality where I get off depriving myself of stuff that feels good as it gives me a feeling of control. Basically I'm some sort of an anorexic towards opiates if that makes any sense :D

Most people can't take it though as outlined by the messages you've seen above. Regardless before doing any drug I say to myself, and others around me though they generally lie (as do I I suppose), if you are ready to take a drug you must first be ready to explain and defend why you are taking it (in the end only to yourself of course which you can easily justify away but still...) might help if you voice your WHYs online among people who have been there before. Okay have to go change to other sides of the music. Will likely be back on soon damn it.

Even though I know we're all giving good advice about cocaine. I've seen plenty of people use it recreationaly on the occasion, love it, then not do it again for ages despite it being very easy to get a hold of.

@jsnake "If you really want stimulants, stick to X or speed, stuff that isn't incredibly addictive" Can't believe you would say that, especially with melbournes current meth standard being so high.

But at the original question, Cocaine is extremely addictive, should you decide you wanna go down that track in the future. But as previously mentioned if you restrict yourself to birthday, and new years, you should be okay. But it's very important to stick to this rule, because if you start allowing it for other special events e.g 18th's, 21st's it can become to consistent and thats when the more powerful addiction will kick in.

And also, if you ever feel yourself becoming slightly addicted (e.g thinking about it regularly and feeling like you really really want that feeling again) then you've had to much, and you must stop altogether immediately.

Party safe

 

[Uhh]

Shooting it is a good way to get a bunch in yourself at once, and so is smoking crack.

I don't know if you know many people who shoot/shot coke, but it gets ugly pretty fast.

As for crack, you know where that leads.

I hate coke. I was never addicted to crack or shooting it, although I had some real benders, but I still crave it sometimes. That, to me, is scary.

Cocaine.

As with most things in my life, they have generally worked out for me but i would not recommend the path to anyone. I liken it to running across an archery range. Cocaine is no different. I have tried it a good number of times and have never been addicted. I have seen people, people i would have never expected, spend small or even large fortunes on the product.

Like a lot of people said, coke is really it's most addictive when you are during and immediately done with using it. Let's put it this way, almost any amount you could begin with will be gone in a single session. On top of that you and your friends will probably have hatched several successful or unsuccessful mad schemes to get more in that period. I remember a friend of mine, a real upstart young man 8) awaiting trail the next day on a triple felony drug dealing charge, his drivers license is suspended and yet he still drives down to the ghetto at 3am to buy crack. Think about that one.



Cocaine. People sit around and talk about themselves passionately and increasingly nervously until eventually they just sit there bug eyed and wondering who ran off with the enthusiasm.


Should you try it? Let's put it all forward. You are 15, you felt slightly addicted after taking xanax three times... Based on that i say no, but who can really stop you? I am always concerned about these kind of posts, should i do this, try this, take this, quit this. I don't feel like many would have the appropriate ressonance to get through to you what you should do. I leave it up to you. Only you know what you want to be and can be. Environmental Determinism.

 

[thestudent14]

I'm 15, and I'm interested in trying cocaine one day. Not now, when I have more experience.

He's said his interested in trying it one day when his more experienced.
So all of you saying he shouldn't be doing it at 15. I don't think his planning on doing so. Save it for a special occasion dude. your 18th or 21st birthday something like that... Or just don't do it.

 

[hellkitten]

I did blow 3 or 4 times a week for an entire summer and one Friday night in September I said to myself "I'm sick of having a plugged and/or bleeding nose and it's not fun for me anymore." Haven't touched it since. My boyfriend at the time, who I was doing it with... still does it. Just as often. Just as much. We aren't together anymore and he is an entirely different person.

I am avid believer in "it all depends on the person and their personality."

i hope you take these posts from more mature, experienced drug users very seriously, semigenius, and quit while you're (maybe) ahead. don't try hard drugs ever, if you can help it. for me, trying hard drugs in my teenage years led to me to where i am. 1000x below my potential level in life, i could be way happier and more successful, instead im struggling with a painkiller addiction and that's mainly just from POT abuse. so try to forget you ever even wanted to try these drugs. they're not cool, they're absolute hell-makers from Hell. please, please don't do cocaine. it was the first real hard drug I tried (and got effects from) and even though I avoided addiction after a 2 week and very painful binge, I had dreams and couldn't forget about it for about 8 months. and that was only after TRYING it a few times.

so quit while you're fucking ahead and choose the drugless path in life, you will be 1000x happier for it. this is a crucial decision for you this is the first "fork" in the road for your age. choose the right path and you won't have the millions of complications, often resulting in death, that most of us here on bluelight have. thanks

also, ignore all these faux-liberal shitheads who are saying, well wait till you are 20 or so. I first tried it at 19. well, LISTEN, there is no "safe age" to start sampling insanely addictive hard drugs like coke or heroin. 9 times out of 10 it ends up in full blown addiction, and 9 out of those 10 newbie addicts end up on the street, dead or in prison within 5 years. people I know who HAVE tried coke and such drugs, and dont do it anymore, are STILL fucked up even though they avoided even occasional use. why? because their egos got out of control even for that short period and now they're sstuck tryingto be celebrities, but since obviously failing, work at a dead-end jobs trying to fool themselves into thinking they're hot shit. to me that's what coke is: a synthetic attempt to be a celebrity, while really being a toxic-brained, ugly pizza boy for (a short, and miserable) life.

its funi

It is fun and very addicting. Question. Everytime I get high EITHER SNORT Or push I have thing where I tale deap breathes a lot...what do u think it is?

 

[pofacedhoe]

off topic but mdma is not a addictive drug from my research and self experience. Maybe you should start testing your stash? You might be getting addicted to the amphetamines mixed in with your pills or molly.

mdma can be addictive- it depends on your personality type

i have friends who would scoff grams of mdma. it was very strong and pure in uk about 2/3 years ago there was a flood of mdma

 

[pofacedhoe]

~3.5g cocaine is a lot, given that a dose of say 40-50mg pure cocaine gets you when you want to be, doing 3500mg in 24 hours is impossible.

its not impossible just very unhealthy.

even if you had pure stuff tolerance can skyrocket- just look at george jung8)

 

[adder]

Well, yes, I agree in that tolerance can lead to consumption of 3.5g of cocaine a day. But I don't think one could handle it if stuff was 100% pure. I had times when I did 2.5g heroin a day. Yet, I know if this was brown sugar then it was 20% heroin at most taking into account I bought from a guy who sold the stuff to dealers and he wasn't the person to meet with regular users. I also had a time when I injected morphine from ampules multiple times a day and I could reach 800mg. But it never lasted more than 2 weeks in case of both heroin and morphine. Well, after that binge on heroin I jumped on high dose of methadone right off.

Not impossible but highly unlikely given opioids toxicity and cocaine's.

 

[semigenius]

I made this thread about a month ago, and now I just feel like an idiot.

 

[ControlDenied]

why do you feel like an idiot?

 

[semigenius]

why do you feel like an idiot?

Because I was actually going to do cocaine. I have an addictive personality. If I find a drug I like, I tell myself, 'okay, I'll wait a week'. Then I say, 'hey, I'll just do it today, and then I'll wait a week'.

I had a hard time not smoking marijuana everyday. If I liked cocaine, I would definitely do it the next day, the next day, and the next day. I'd get myself addicted.

 

[Kaelfi]

I MO it is one of the the most addictve substances on the planet!!!

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Cocaine can lead to some serious binges. I'm lucky in the fact that I don't have an addictive personality, but when I would do cocaine it would be all night/morning bender. It's like Pringles potato chips, once you pop the fun doesn't stop, it was like I couldn't wait 'till the next line and the next thing I know the sun's coming up and I feel like shit. I'm happy to say that I haven't touched the stuff in quite some time (plus my anxiety has reached the point that if I were to start using, I would probably have a heart attack).

That is a very good way to describe the way I am with drugs. I do them like I eat Pringles. Good analogy.

I think that I should keep this option on the table, but not before I gain a lot more self control.

 

[Mjäll]

You say "From what I've read on here, you don't want to get addicted to cocaine. So will I get hooked by doing it once or twice?"

Fuck yes you will. These people don't lie. I don't lie. Cocaine is insanely mentally addictive for the wrong mindset. Don't think you have the mindset that won't enjoy or think cocaine is enjoyable and want more.

There are no recreational cocaine users.

Where do you want to be in life? Cocaine and every other fucking drug out there is vile, disgusting, life altering substance SHIT that will get you NOWHERE. I guarantee you nobody on this board or even this fucking website is as successful as they hold the potential to be. Maybe content, but NEVER successful. Anything otherwise is a fucking lie. And why? Because of drugs.

Take the high road man. Drugs are shit for a reason. Get high off climbing (climbing, not a fucking hike) a mountain. Sky diving. Adventure shit. Anything besides drugs. Check this out.

I've done 45 grams of cocaine in a month (fairly good shit from Colorado). I've done so much cocaine it would kill 100 small children.

However, my dad has climbed Makalu in the Himalayan mountain range. Makalu is 14 miles east of Mt. Everest, the tallest peak in the world. He's climbed it, fucking 100 foot straight vertical sheets of ice and rock with one buddy tied to you and 20,000 feet to fall to a ragdoll death. He ACCOMPLISHED something in his life. The pictures he has from his treks in the 70s puts me to shame and puts every other "well I've done this much" and "I've been this fucked up" and "I've overdosed" druggy dicksizer to shame. It's sad man. I want to be like my dad but have done nothing but drugs. I'm only 23.

My point is drugs give you this fake high that manipulates your mind, brain, and body into thinking you're living. Once the high is gone, you're left with nothing but another grand out of your bank account, shame upon shame, and shit you've said to people that you never would say.

Fucking pathetic. Drugs are fucking pathetic. You can get hooked by just having a thought of what cocaine would be like before. Stay away from that shit and find a positive outlet in your life. You can be anything you want to be. Differentiate yourself from the other, countless, same drug addicted people by doing something positive and unique.

What does climbing a big mountain give you? To me that mountain could as well be a big pile of cocaine or pot ashes.

Very few people have the faintest idea of where they want to get and why. Climbers and other "doers" are no exception.

I'm not sure how old you are or what your history is but I could have seen myself saying something like that a few years ago. Now a statement like that makes total fucking sense. Drugs lead to nothing. Do I still do them? Sometimes... sadly. If I could go back and not use them would I? In a fucking heartbeat. I really wish I only ever would have tried beer, marijuana and MDMA.

I haven't really had a problem with coke, my major issues is that I will most likely be drinking when I do it. Good chance I will also be on opiates or having some for the comedown as well.

Also really screws up your appetite, including into the next day.
