cocaine is way over rated as a "nasty" life wrecking drug.


i have used it..its great for parties, and makes you feel great..where is the downside? i think all that crap is made up to be honest

reply

Troll on....

reply

its not trolling its factual..drugs are great!!

reply

I'm not arguing they can't be great. But not everyone can handle every drug. I've seen lives ruined over alcohol, coke, crank, heroin, pills, even weed... But I've also known people who go balls to the wall and keep it together.

reply

yep, to quote eastwood...."man's got to know his limitations"

reply

Different brain features, chemistry, neurotransmitters balances(or inbalances)... Some people(probably a very small minority) can use cocaine in a 'safe' recreational way, without addiction. Most don´t. It´s a russian roulette(with very bad odds). You can´t really know what´s your case, before trying it a few times.

reply

The risk of becoming addicted to coke is minimal. Apparently 5-6% of users will become addicted after 2 years of use. Risk of addiction also depends on the method of use, lower if snorting, higher if injecting.

Moderation is the key.

reply

Why do you want to take it anyway? Doesnt it Give you runs? Wow what a kick.

I know a guy who has damaged his liver drinking too much red bull and similar energy drinks.

reply

I am not defending them nor will I trash them but there is something to be said about legalizing drugs. People would be able to get them without all the crime associated. There would be bars that allowed them, there would be more treatment for those who cant handle them. We spend Billions on the war on drugs. Why not have the drugs pay for the problems that come with them and end all the violence that comes with illegal drugs.

reply

The problem with legalising all drugs like heroin and cocaine is people get addicted and need it all the time. Unemployment would go through the roof as people wouldn't go to work or would be too high to work then the fact drugs are expensive and addicts couldn't keep a job would mean robbery and violence would also rapidly increase as they need money to feed the habit.

Amsterdam works as it's only cannabis, some people assume all drugs are legal in Amsterdam so think legalising all drugs would work.

reply

One of the fallacies is that by legalizing drugs that crime would drop. It would simply shift to other activities. The same way organized crime at the end of prohibition shifted to other illegal activities. These are not people who will go from illegal drug activity to a 9 to 5 job.
More recently, look at what's occurred with Loyalist Paramilitaries in Northern Ireland. With the end of the "troubles" some groups shifted to drug dealing.
Someone I know that was involved in prosecuting organized crime in NY once told me "these guys would rather steal a nickle than earn a dollar legitimately."

reply

Yeah, coke is a great drug. I would use it everyday if I could. I mean, yeah, there's a downside. You can get addicted and ruin your life and all that bullsh!t but so what? You can ruin your life with alcohol, with weed, with sex, with greed, with freaking anything. It's our right to choose if we want to take that risk.

reply

Wow

reply

People who do drugs are grade A losers. Alcoholics are not far behind. Only dull people need mind altering drugs to have a good time because they're you know, boring as shít.

reply

You sound like a fun person to be around. Enjoy your pop and chip parties.


I haven't slept for 10 days, because that would be too long.

reply

As a matter of fact I have a great sense of humor and I make people laugh all the time. All without altering my mind. It's called having a personality.

reply

Just because you and your friends laugh at each others jokes doesn't mean it won't still be a lame party. My friends and I all have a great sense of humor too but if we're all just sitting around sober and telling jokes with each other, I'd get bored after 10 minutes and leave to go have fun at a bar.

reply

Says something about a person if they have to get inebriated or alter their mi DD to have a good time. When I was much younger I did dome light drugs and got drunk several times. Not once do I remember ever having a good time come out of it. Whether it was throwing up afterward or barely remembering what the fück was going on is not my idea of a good time. Now enjoying myself while retaining all my faculties and not being physically ill afterwards is. Try it.

OK so you were a lightweight and couldn't handle it. That doesn't mean that people who enjoy it and have a good time is a loser. It just means I can handle my sh!t and I know when I've had enough and should stop for the night before I start feeling sick.
I picture you as the guy who had 2 or 3 beers at a party once and acted like a complete retard and now you think everyone else who does any drugs or drinks acts the way you did.

reply

There's no point dude... He's clearly already been brainwashed by the American War on Drugs. Logic and sense no longer apply.

reply

Try a lot more than 2 or 3 beers. And again acting like a drunk idiot.........face it You have to alter your mind to have a good time. I get it. I don't. And I've seen the devastating results of drug usage multitudes of times. It's not a pretty sight. As a paramedic I just picked up a chick from a clinic the other day who was wasted on something. Her life at this point is basically over. She too thought she could handle it until............but hey you know best.

reply

You sound like a looser.

 So you're the nerd who took D.A.R.E. class seriously!

reply

Said the grade A loser.

reply

Said the grade A loser.

Jesus Christ, it was a joke. I ignored your high and mighty position that all drug users are simply losers (do some research into why people use drugs and you'll realize how ignorant you are), and you doubled down like a tool. You think actual drug users give a sh!t if some douchebag D.A.R.E. tool calls them losers? They laugh at you the same way you laugh at them. You think you're right and they think they're right. You're just as bad as them, loser.

reply

Calling me a nerd is not a joke because I look and act the farthest thing from it. And remember nerds nowadays actually celebrate being nerds. And I have no idea what the fück Dare is or care in the slightest. Looks like you didn't like my joke either because it involved a, you know insulting word that's possibly the farthest thing that you are. See how that works?

reply

Calling me a nerd is not a joke because I look and act the farthest thing from it.

Calling people who use drugs "losers" is the definition of acting like a nerd. Like I said, look up why people use drugs and maybe you'll realize what an insensitive tool you are for calling them losers.

reply

Most people that use drugs are weak or young and stupid. Anyone over 25 should know better. There is no excuse.

reply

Yeah, you're a legit retard. 

reply

Yeah I think he actually might be a retard. I'm not even gonna bother replying to him anymore. I'll leave him to his boring sober life of bible reading and preaching about "don't pollute your body because I said so." If he wants to judge me and everyone else for having a good time then that's ok with me.


I haven't slept for 10 days, because that would be too long.

reply

Well I'll be fine dith you two *beep* too. And the Bible is pure fiction crapfest.

reply

Yeah one reason to take it is to become popular aming your peers. Or not to become unpopular like in your case

hope u never have back surgery that you need painkillers for afterward...you doofus

reply

So, and this might just be the most insane idea ever, why not treat the problem, the addiction, instead of ban the drug?

So is food and countless other things, some people are just week minded and have no will power. Or already had an underlying problem.

reply

I agree. It doesn't have the nasty side effects like crystal meth, which could keep you awake for a long time. Govt gets in the way of so many drugs, even from Presidents like Clinton, George W Bush & Obama, who all did illegal drugs in their past. Govt needs to just get out of the way.
