How addictive is cocaine?

Different for different people. I got addicted when I was younger. After crack, though, powder lost all its appeal. Coke made me want to do more even if I didn't get the high I was chasing, which I never really did from powder.

Crack, of course, was what I was looking for, and that is a different beast altogether, isn't it?
 
VERY.

Crack is cocaine...

the addiction isn't to the method fo ingestion, but the drug itself...

if you are a heroin addict and you smoke opium, you will likely relapse.. nuff said
 
Agreed that crack and coke are the same drug. However, I will disagree with the notion that the method of administrating a drug has nothing to do with the potential for addiction.

One could argue that snorting will not give the user a genuine cocaine high, and that only freebasing or smoking crack will yield the true high that the drug produces. If one does not feel the full effects of a particular drug, for whatever reason, surely the full scope of reactions are not addressed.

Even though smoking crack and snorting a line of coke implement the same chemical, I guarantee you they are not the same drug in the context of this discussion.
 
The consentrations from snorting are over the receptor downregulation treshold. Strong coca tea is not. More expensive in short term, cheaper in the long term?
 
well, i must say that i'm exactly like you... when i take coke i wanna take more all the time. Especially when taking it when you're alone, the only thing you think about is taking your next line. That's why i only try to take it when i'm with friends: when you're socialising you don't feel the urge to take it every 20-30 minutes. Just keep yourself busy.
ps: i only take coke when i can drink alcohol, otherwise i really don't like it... i'm probably addicated to the coca-ethyl that is forming in my liver but anyway.. i only take it during weekends, during the week i don't feel the urge to take some, even if i have some coke at home. There is a way to take it occasionaly, you just have to be strong in your mind...
 
I've been snorting cocaine for some years now, and the only time I "lost control" of it was when I started using it. I had money (got my first job) so I could aford to buy a gram or two whenever I wanted, and I was using it during the week, as well as during the weekends. Then I thought about the drug, and convinced myself that I loved it too much to be destroyed by it, and strongly convicted myself to using it only once per week, and I'm doing fine. When the comedowns are getting worse and worse, I'll give it a break, and then everything will be fine again. I don't crave it during the week at all, but it has become a part of my saturday-night clubbing, and I have the precaution of getting some thursday or friday to be absolutely sure that I have it saturday.... Addiction? I wouldn't call it so. More of an habbit, I think.
Smoking crack is a whole diferent stuff though, I wouldn't advise anyone to do it frequently
