Okay so I've just taken my third line of cocaine in a long time. I wanted to know from you Sup Forums, is it really bad to take it socially, in regulated amounts every two or three weeks? I figured I'll be taking it like 2-3 grams every month, or maybe a little less. I'm 21, exercise regularly, eat mostly healthy and don't have any heart conditions (that I know of). I read countless posts on the interwebz but they are people trying to lecture me on how drugs are bad m'kay and I really don't want to base my opinion on those type of posts. Do any of you guys take it socially or have any comments on my plan? I know all the effects ok, don't think I'm a rebellious guy who just tried coke for the first time and is like holy shit this is the powder from the Gods and starts taking it every day without knowing the consequences of it. I'm fully aware of the problems it brings, but like I said, I'm not planning on taking it regularly, just socially and in well regulated and pure amounts, not the impure shit. My social circle is also pretty responsible and would definitely advise me not to do it, so I won't be influenced into becoming an addict by them. So what do you guys think? Am I a retard and should just let it go and can it be done? (the objective of course is taking it without repercussions in my health or everyday life, i.e. addictions and mood swings).

Coke is one of the few safe hard drugs compared to stuff like h and meth, however it still has a huge addiction potential.
If you're deciding you want to do X amount of coke a month you're already setting yourself up for an addiction because you're in the mind set of "I can do this much and I won't be an addict"
stfu u cunt ye
every weekend bro
hw can you afford it i can't even afford that shit
I've done coke literally hundreds of times.
It's fine. If you have access to benzos, xanax klonopin valium or ativan, have some on hand when you're doing coke.
If you feel like your heart is racing too much or you're just too geeked out take a mg of benzo. The combination is safe. They actually give some people who are ODing on coke valium at hospitals.
It's nothing compared to meth, which I'm partying hard on right now. That is, unless you're really fucking rich and have piles of coke.
Meth is so cheap and lasts so long, a good rail will have you going 20 hours. Another will put you up to 35, till you're 5 days awake without any food and little water.
Guess I'm saying that the price and short duration of coke kind of give it some safeties.
get it on credit. its amazing how good you get at finding money when you owe a drug dealer.
I was in the exact same position as you bro, started off as a weekend every now and then, then every weekend thinking I had it under control, and here I am now, 6 months down the line, going through over a gram every day and I just took out a loan to pay over £1500 back to my dealer. Keep it as a treat for when you go out drinking, don't let yourself fall In the hole I did.
if you inject you can cut down on the amount you need each day
Only real problem with coke is it's too expensive.
Not that that's ahuge problem since it's kinda hard to get addicted when you can't afford to do it erryday.
No way in hell will I ever go down the injecting route, that's where I draw the line.
>Sup Forums never change
If you are not 100% completly sure that Cocain can't hook you, you can use cocain on a regular basist without ever ruining your bank account, ruining your dopamine or falling into the shit tier lifestyle of using cocain.
Like many stimulant, it can make you perform beyond what you can imagine with no troubles but if 1 morning you wake up thinking something like « I feel like doing a line right now » or whatever in that kind of mind set. Using " socially " isn't made for you.
For me it's as expensive as smoking week, wich I don't invest into that much. ( 7g/1-2weeks ) I don't drink that much or always drink a lot but ending up with small bills. It boost every aspect of my life and even if I can live without it with zero problem, it's a cutting edge that doesn't botter me nor affect my health at all.
I guess I am just that lucky guy.
>I can't even afford it
>comparing your welfare check to my paycheck
Coke is fun until one of your best friends starts to spend 750$ fucken dollars on it a week, then all of a sudden it's not appealing anymore. If you keep doing coke some of your friends will develop a problem with it and it's not fun to do coke with people who clearly don't have enough self control and are actively ruining their lives.
have you tried rehab or at least doing an effort to quit it?
Started same way. Coke to me has a long term addiction factor. I didn't get hooked right away. Didn't even think of doing it for like a year after my first time. Then it was every month I would get some to play with. Then every other weekend. Then every weekend. Then I was getting it on credit and trying to sell enough that I could do it every day. Started robbing people. Got in one little fight and mom got scared. Sent me to live with my uncle in bel air.
it's not about the health effects per se. I wanted a little red pilling on the addiction risks. Is it really that bad that it'll make addicted to it even if I take it socially, and by socially I mean not much, like 5-7 lines every month.
I quit once, completely paid off all my debt, and was pretty happy. I then went out for drinks with friends, got offered some by some guy when I was taking a piss, and the cycle started all over again. I'm quitting again as soon as I've paid off my guy, gonna get one last 8 ball and then that's it. How many times have I said one last 8 ball in my life I will never know haha. This is it now though, literally on it now and disgusted with myself.
what you want to hear is yeah you can do it and that it has been done by lots of people without long term repercutions. in reality, you sound like thousands of users that start out with this mindset, including how i used to think until you are almost damn near broke every week on that shit. fucking hard as hell to get away from that shit and good riddance. do yourself a favor and stop now.
well the thing is that I'm aware of that fact. I'm not saying ok I'll do this and only this because I know it's bad. It's not about limits, it's about knowing if it will make me crave each time more and more even if I don't do it regularly.
My friend did 3 marihuanas and died r.i.p in peace he was cool he was 14
but why did you started taking more and more? Was it because you needed it and said I'm not an addict so I can handle it or was it because your social circle pushed you into it?
Gotta agree with user on this one. When you say you're only gonna do x amount per month there's gonna eventually come a time when you say well I've already done x amount for the month but I'll just push it a little bit this one time and once you cross that line then you'll most likely keep pushing it a little more each time.
I used to split half g bags with friends and have the funnest nights ever, 5 years later and I'm ripping 8balls to myself. I didn't think of it as a problem till one day I realized I dropped about a grand in a day just on coke. Took a while but I got my shit back on track. I still do it occasionally maybe 2-3x a month at the most. Best advice I can tell you is be fucking moderate cause if you're not there's a good chance you'll end up in a shitty spot.

what I get from this is that people with money won't get into trouble because they can afford it.
Simply because I liked the feeling. The feeling of snorting it up your nose, the slight burn and then the rush of euphoria, nothing really beats it. It's like a ritual cutting up the lines and then snorting.
Some personal experience for you, OP.
A couple drinks or a quick bump for social occasions is cool until it's clearly not cool. The people around you will notice your decline long before you do. You might take coke as a social lubricant but at a certain point, you'll just be talking hot shit and no one will want to listen to you. You'll just be another annoying high/wired/drunk guy droning on and on about shit no one cares about.
Remember: it's much easier to develop an addiction than it is to lose one.
Be mindful out there, OP
I always notice when people are on coke, socially
you are asking if cocaine is an addictive drug, and the answer is "yes".
will you become addicted? I don't know. It seems like you are looking for an answer to justify your use.
There are many people who can pick / put down coke. There are many people who ruin their lives over it.
I guess my questions is.. why are you willing to take the risk? It is clear you really like it, maybe that should tell you something.
this
>then the rush of euphoria, nothing really beats it.
yeah coke is pretty good. you should try snorting or shooting it.
You'll be fine. Somehow you naturally outgrow it.
thanks for the outlook. I might as well just ditch it, I really don't care, I just wanted to know if it really that bad as society portrays it. I guess it is. So, I just snorted the last line I had left. I won't be buying or consuming any more from now (not like I ever did it). Thanks!
Of all the drugs I've taken, coke is the one that never leaves my thoughts - though have taken it in almost 6 years. In your most pensive moments, it pops into your mind. That's how powerful it is.
1) ask yourself why do you want to take it and be honest with yourself. What gave you the idea to take it? Also do a pros cons list
2) most smokers, drug users start their habits fully knowing that the habit is bad but still end up being addicted anyway. habits are more powerful than mere abstract thoughts
3)The fact you're asking /b is you're having justified doubts about this shit
4)it's fken expansive and you don't know what's in it
way better shit to spend your money on. part of the problem with drug education is that fear is more effective than having a discussion about risk benefit analysis.
I picked up and put down lots of drugs - meth / coke / etc. but I found one I picked up and couldn't put down. Fucked my life up pretty badly. Wish I hadn't felt the need to "keep going" and trying different stuff.
yeah tell me about it. Just a little anecdote. I've always been kind of shy around people I don't know too well. In a party with people from College, in which I didn't know many people and most of my friends didn't go, I got offered two lines and took it. After that everything went uphill, I started socialising like crazy and felt that nothing could stop me. I made tons of new acquaintances and even manage to hook up with a girl. That was just unforgettable, I guess you could say Cocaine is that adventurous friend that can take you the wrong or the right way, but tends to take you through the first. But if you know how to use it then you are set to the top.
Even when you have the money to support a habit that in my case was starting to run me $600-$1000 a day it still fucks with your health big time, and if and when you get to that point and you decide to either stop or scale way the fuck back it's still gonna fuck with you. Remember when Charlie Sheen quit and he turned into a bit of a lunatic? You think he still woulda said all that shit if he hadn't been jamming bricks in his face for over a decade.
which was it?
OP do you live in florida by any chance?
How can you tell?
Pupils, kinda "skittish", talking to much etc. lot of signs. I do mistake coke for amphetamine sometimes though
An opiate
Legit how can you tell the difference between coke and Molly
Do 5 grams of mushrooms alone and think about if this is a good idea or not
On molly people are more distant, more happy, a LOT more touchy + the gurning makes it a pretty clear case. On a low dose there's not much difference though
Very true, their mouths go mental. Gotta love people on md tho.
Yeah, always a fun crowd to hang out with
I almost died yesterday, did 8 grams by myself, I'm going to stop that shit before it take over me
The problem i have with this drug is the shit you get with it. Petrol, Lidocain / Tetracain and Levamisol. I mean if you really did you're research you already know that. If not well ..... those are my reasons why I m not touching that stuff again :X
Getting this without that is .... as far as i know .... next to impossible.
Hahah top gig! That means giggle for short!!! Haha, can i be you pls? Lol HAH x)))) 420
you might as well have said the following:
>i like playing with fire and flammable substances
>i only build bombs in my shed every so often and i don't have any semtex-related allergies
>i only set 'small' fires in my living room when i have some buds over and we set 'small' fires socially every so often
>i'm not in any real danger, right?
>inb4 i didn' do nuffins if anything happens, right?
>you dig what i'm slinging, right?
>it's just a 'harmless' little habit, right?
