Well, I wish that all those people out there in the world who are addicted to coke and crack would think of their DOC's as "OVERRATED".
And if practically this whole thread thinks that coke is overrated, how did it even become "worthy" at all to ANYONE period?
If you think coke is overrated you either:
A. Your coke was cut to pieces.
B. You have never properly felt the effects of Cocaethylene.
.
C. You are poor/don't know a good dealer.
I've had high grade uncut extracts and uncut synthetic cocaine and so has a friend of mine. The thing is, coke's initial rush feels extremely rewarding, but the comedown far outlasts it and no other drug has come close to the horrors of a cocaine comedown. The better the material is, the worse is the comedown.
While I could understand someone seeking this first half hour over and over, taking the hours of emotional torture into account, it just doesn't make any sense on a rational level. Conditioning, sure, neuronal reprogramming, sure. But it just never seemed worth it to me. I know people who do cocaine every single day and deal with it, too, meaning they more than once in a while receive high quality material. We live in a city with a large sea port after all... But even some of those who have been hopelessly addicted for years refer to it "a line of bad mood".
To me it is like this (I have never in my entire life paid money for the crap): The more times I've done it over the course of my life, the more it becomes attractive to me, the more I catch myself thinking of it or seeking situations where it will present itself to me. Eventhough the whole time I realize that it's absolutely awful and will always end up making me feel paranoid, self conscious and agitated.
God there's nothing like the rish of it though. Still, totally overrated. It seems like a primitive substance, that will sooner or later be replaced by something with less side effects. Just my 2c.
Edit: These negatives can easily be cancelled out with a nicely times benzo/opioid. :D
