Cocaine Would I enjoy cocaine

[happysounds]

Hey this is my first post. I have been curious about cocaine for quite some time now and I am not sure if i would enjoy it and if the risk of addiction is worth it. I was wondering if someone could tell me if i should try and if i would enjoy cocaine based on my past drug experiences. I hardly drink, because i think alcohol is extremely overrated and it just makes me feel stupid. I have been on just about every add drug out there adderall, ritalin, vyvanve, etc. i was prescribed add drugs for a year i absolutely hated the effects i did not enjoy the rush at all i never slept or ate on them and if i was not preoccupied with some kind of activity i would go crazy inside my head with all the energy. so basically I hate the add amphetamine drug high. i tried vicodin once and i hated it so much i felt dopey and stupid and it just made me feel so disgusting that i never touched it again. I have zero interest in benos or really any prescription drugs for that matter anymore. I love pot and i vape a trench in my mflb almost every night. I have done 2c-I twice and 2c-E once. I absolutely loved the experiences i had with the 2c family and i am very interested in psychedelics. i did molly once and enjoyed it alot as well. based on these drug experiences do you think i would enjoy the effects of socially using cocaine because i do not want to get addicted but this substance fascinates me for some reason and I am very curious about this drug.

depends on how good your cocaine is, or how pure the batch you buy is. good cocaine is, well, the fucking best.

short answer: YES

long answer: YES

lol....ive never met anyone who didn't enjoy coke. Im not much of an upper person myself; but i certainly enjoyed it the few times i did blow

I'll second that.

However, I take it from your post you are no fan of amphetamine-highs, or stimulating highs for that matter? I don´t mind a little tweaking on amphetamines, Even though I am loving the rush and the happy mood, I still feel ´myself´, just a tweaked out version. Cocaine however makes me feel like I´m the best thing walking the world. Al negative thoughts of personal flaws evaporate or are dismissed without a second thought. Mr. Confidence in the house to save the day. However pleasant the rush from coke is, I refrain from it because the shift in character is so strong for me at least, that it made me realize it simply turned me into a person that´s just not me, and made me feel bad about it because I realized I was glorifying a fake state of being while I should be contend with the person I am, insecurities and negatives included. I guess you could say it became quite habitforming, but that was due to coke finding me in rough spot in life. Didn´t touch it for 2 years leave or take, life got stable, and now I simply really enjoy the high, because I´m already happy with who I am in life regularly I reckon. However I still indulge sometimes, my stim of choice is simple racemic amph or d-amp nowadays, which just brings out my inner joy.

Well shit this turned out too long. Short version: Coke has a great high for me and most of my friends, but some are turned off by the egocentrical state with which they cannot identify themselves when sober again. It's simple straightforward fun, and if you don't like it at least it doesn't work as long as most amphs. For me, the addicting qualities of the drug were wholly due to my living situation at the time. If you are convinced you can keep it to a one time thing or just at a party every now and then I'd go for it.

In all honesty, if you didn't fancy most other stimulants, do yourself the favor and stick to (responsible use of) psychedelics.

if u actually get GOOD cocaine, then yes u will enjo it, lets hope u dont enjoy it too much and get hooked because it is very addictive, and do not by crack/cocaine , or let ur freinds con u into trying "freebase" its a sugar coated way to not admit to smoking crack which is very addictive, be careful

Could it cause anxiety? I've always avoided uppers because I suffer anxiety and am prone to panic attacks. I suppose I could have benzos on hand just in case....

 

[opiatekrzy]

yes it definetly can cause anxiety, usually during the high from uppers u wont experience too much anxiety or any at all, you WILL EXPERIENCE IT when the cocaine wears off, horrible anxiety, sometimes good coaine doesnt leave u crashing with anxiety, but if u have a history of anxiety with ADHD meds, bet ur butt u will have anxiety with cocaine

Do you enjoy having to take a shit?

Do you enjoy telling stupid stories that no one cares about?

Do you enjoy saying "we will just take a bump before we hit the bar" then looking at the clock and it's 5:00am?

Do you enjoy being a fiend?

I really consider myself to be a chill responsible drug user but coke brings the worst out of me. The comedown SUCKS.

Hi Happysounds

I was wondering if someone could tell me if i should try and if i would enjoy cocaine based on my past drug experiences.

This seems like a pretty bizarre question to ask, IMO.

How on earth could anyone tell you what you're going to enjoy? Considering that you've got some experience with lots of different types of drug, I would say that you're well-equipped to make a judgement on your own.

As others have said, the enjoyment you get out of cocaine is very much in proportion to the quality of the coke that you get. And seeing as how nobody knows what the quality is/will be, there's really no answer to your main question.

Also, does it really matter what other people say to you about this? As a harm reduction board, I think there's some obligation to help people avoid things that aren't absolutely necessary in their lives. So, if you're wondering about whether or not to try it, I would say 'no'.

If you can live without it, you'd wanna think carefully before trying something which is notoriously addictive and causes some people all kinds of hell.


EDIT: fucking LOL at Dawglaw's post!!

sugar coated?

Freebasing is an art... Crack is garbage... Freebase is awesome. Crack is dirty, freebase is clean...

There is a big difference. Number one is appearance, number two is quality, number three is the high...

Freebase is gonna be some of the cleanest coke anyone will ever do...

Vape it off foil, and it is waves of pure euphoric eruption... That nice numbing sensation of the vapor if you do it off foil is nice...

We can't tell you whether you're going to like cocaine at all, but chances are you'll hate it, especially of you hate Methylphenidate/Ritalin (or Focalin). As far as ADD drugs go Ritalin and Focalin are the closest in terms of effects to cocaine (though not when injected-there's no rush IMO). You said yourself that you basically hate stimulants so why would coke be any different? And even if you did like it, that wouldn't be so great either as its an incredibly addictive drug that's now being cut with levemisole (a de-worming agent) that's incredibly harmful to humans.

 

[.:Holy::Toast:.]

That's the way cocaine works, it seems EVERYONE likes it, and unlike other drugs, you keep enjoying it more and more the more you do, then your comedown hits and you feel like such shit but all you want is more.
If I were you don't try it, I've tried some 25 odd drugs including methamphetamine and heroin, but cocaine is the only one ice regretted.

 

[NeighborhoodThreat]

Sadly, unless you're a coca farmer in South America, your cocaine is going to be of low(er) quality. Cocaine is now cut at the source.

If you didn't enjoy the amphetamines and Ritalin/Concerta (methylphenidate) then chances are you won't enjoy cocaine. But there's no way to really give you an answer to this question because every drug does different things to every person. Almost everybody I know who's tried cocaine enjoyed it, but its prohibitively high cost and short duration of action means its quite easy to spend a lot of money on a short-lived high.

 

[Mr.Scagnattie]

Would you enjoy real actually semi-pure coke? Probably. But chances are you're doing to get a severely adulterated version with various dirty amphetamines/cuts and it is very unenjoyable.

 

[mysticmusic]

If I were you I would steer clear of cocaine.
Although you found other stimulants unimpressive cocaine stands alone in it's morishness.
I too initially found speed lacking initially, that is at least before becoming cocaine addicted and trying to substitute them for cocaine.
ROA is extremely relevant with cocaine(all drugs for that matter) and I for one only understood it's full siren allure after IV usage.
I have seen more lives destroyed more quickly with IV and vaporized cocaine than any other drug.
Straight young men sucking cocks for the money, and the braver ones robbing banks to have the money to buy cocaine for IV use are not uncommon after short forays into it's sordid world.
Etched forever in my mind is the image of two of my best friends fighting over a last shot which the larger bud was taking from the smaller as he cried and begged him not to as it was his last shot, yet in spite of dearly caring for his smaller life-long friend, my physically larger friends desire for an immediate injection of coke, forced him to steal the last shot from his crying best friend.
And what's really sick is I watched the whole drama selfishly shooting my small, but much larger supply, thinking I'll stab that fucker, if he tries that shit with me. I wasn't sharing my shit with anyone.

 

[happysounds]

Thanks guys these were all really helpful, from what I'm getting most of you think I shouldn't try it because its really addictive and I hate amphetamine highs. I really don't want to get addicted and I'm not drawn to any other addictive drugs. Shit I've never even smoked a ciggarette the only reason I was on the meds was cause I have really bad add and none of them helped it. Idk if its how it's portrayed in movies or how it's glamorized in American culture but something about it is just tantalizing to me I'm starting to think that I like the idea of cocaine use more than what it actually is the only drugs ive had a good time with besides pot so far have been psychedelics and I absolutely love them and have no plan for stopping use with those anytime soon. But yea thanks for all the info guys it was very much appreciated and now I think I'm going to stay very far away especially after reading so many horror stories on erowid

You can clean it up... It’s not hard to do.

well, the OP's questions seem to be answered as best as possible. Also, we don't really do threads like this, Other Drugs is a harm reduction forum, were not here to speculate whether you might like them or not.

A better way of phrasing the question would be to ask something like "what are the similarity's of cocaine to Ritalin, Amphetamines and other Stimulant Drugs?"

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread now.
