Cocaine Was it worth it?

[Kronic King]

Hello BL! So I've recently been offered coke a numerous amount of times and I was very close to doing it today. I'm 18 but still only a junior in high school. And I've been reading up on blow and it seems 2 sided. Half the reports and opinions say how amazing it is and the other half how horrible it is. So my question is for those addicted or not, is it worth trying? Like is blow a drug you would suggest or one where you would never tell someone or offer it to them if it was there first time

Oh god. I always told myself I'd never touch the stuff. But my friend introduced me to it in my early 20s and said 'it's no big deal'. So I tried it. It sucked. Didn't have enough apparently. The following year I would buy some, it would last me a week, and then it turned into me snorting a gram in one night and crawling on the floor looking for little white specks until dawn.

I still use it every now and then if it's there, I don't seek it out. But in my opinion, cocaine is a rather evil drug. The negatives simply outweigh any benefits. And with whatever it's cut with these days, it's even worse.

i dont find it that great. maybe because of purity, or just personal preference. its a short, semi euphoric high. mainly people do it to feel rich, cool, powerful. and others do it because of addiction. but real addicts (without $$$$$$) will turn to crack or something.
the next morning isnt so bad, but the comedown is horrible, and it makes going to sleep a mission and a half.

most of the high i get from coke, comes from taking the line, not from the chemical itself. try mephedrone if you really want to get high :D im my opinion

i think building it up like its some big thing is a bad idea. It is what it is and like everything has it's ups and downs. If you drew a graph and charted how high and great you feel on coke, just know that you will most likely feel equal that but in the -'s at some point. some users here may think that's a stupid thing to say, but after shooting a lot of it that was the conclusion I came to! Above all else, TAKE YOUR TIME

Thanks guys, is coke one of those drugs you can do moderately? Like I can use acid recreationally and completely control how often I take it. I know acid isn't addicting and coke is, but I mean is there any control to how often I do it? Like could I try it, and never try it again till next year or will I immidiately get sucked in

Please wait until college if you are going to do it. I'm not saying never try it, but be really careful. For many people, coke is not something you can just take one time and never want to try it again. Cocaine is one drug that is EXTREMELY difficult to do moderately. You do 1 line and 15 minutes later, you will want another, even if it means walking across town to get more. Honestly, the cravings are horrible. You can easily fsck up your life. Read everything you can about cocaine addiction, withdrawals, and people's experiences with it before you do it so you have some idea of what you are getting into. Also, the effects are not like acid at all. The high is entirely different. It's 5 minutes of euphoria followed by HOURS of craving it and feeling like shit. There is no after glow where you can sit back and recall your experiences. Instead, the withdrawal is filled with anxiety and a sense of doom where you can't think clearly enough to remember how good you felt earlier..

if you like it, it will be very hard to control your use. if you dont like it (like me) its no problem. its also expensive compared to other much better highs, so if youre cash-strapped it wont be a problem controlling yourself.

Hey Kronic King,

Coke like all drugs, and especially stimulants, can be addicting. Unlike a lot of other drugs it is also cardiotoxic. As others have said it can be used responsibly in a safe and enjoyable manner, but nobody ever wants to become addicted and a fair number of people do. Think of it more as rolling the dice and taking a chance as opposed to having any control over it and being strong/weak willed. You do coke you may become addicted.

Other Drugs isn't really here to tell you whether or not you should do a drug as the harm reduction answer is invariable no. If you are going to do it though I suggest you read up on how to clean up coke with an acetone wash and water recrystallization, and this thread on drug addiction might be interesting.
The Basic Biology of Drug Addiction

Anyway you rationalize trying a new drug you are always taking a risk, and you will have to be the one who lives with the consequences so you need to be the one to make the decision. There are enough horror case studies and stats about cocaine addiction out there as well as enough documents accurately describing the effects for you to make an informed decision without this personalized thread so I'm going to close it now.

Half the reports and opinions say how amazing it is and the other half how horrible it is.

Exactly
