Defend the Indefensible: Cocaine

"Good" LSD vs "Bad" is a matter of what else is in it, how it's made, etc. Sure, the active ingredient is the same, but always occurs in different concentrations (even from one side of the sheet to the next), and all the other shit that can end up in your acid can make it vary a lot. Same with Bourbon and Jager, roughly.

High grade pot and schwag are almost totally different drugs, though.

That's exactly what happens to me when I smoke pot! I've taken E a handful of times and never gotten off on it, although a few of those times involved other substances so who knows, really.

I guess one by one, all the drugs I used to take stopped being fun for me and now I just drink beer. I'm pretty content that way, although I wouldn't suggest that anybody else need to adopt my person habits. When it was fun, it was really fun.

That's what happens to me when I smoke shitty Mexican cornfield pot. But O! Canada!

Nothing against weed per se (stoned people are fine, if sometimes alittle dull) I just personally don't have a great reaction to it.

You guys are crazy! Cheap mexican pretendica is preferable to gnarly skunk, no freak-outs and "oh my god, my heart, MY HEART!" shit. I go out of my way to get crap mexiweed, just good, relaxing times.

It happens on pot, but less severe. It's more like bad thoughts keep creeping up on me if I'm bored.

See the thing for me is that I feel like a lot of pot is too powerful. Maybe I've gotten bad stuff, but usually my friends rave about stuff from the same stash. I miss the days of a mellow smoke-out, where I didn't feel the need for anything but music. It makes me kind of antsy and hyper now.

I don't really do anything but beer and/or Jameson any more either. Seems like I'm too old for drugs now or something. Boo hoo.

will take the cheap mex mix over the high cost chronic anyday. Now-a-days designer chronic gets me hyped and racy - not the nice old fashioned calm & mellow high. I just steer clear these days and have a martini instead.

never did understand the joy of coke neither. just like 5 espressos with a numb nose and mouth. pfft. too much money for the jitters.

NOTM. I'd rather embarass myself by telling people I think they're great than do it by telling people I'm great. In my recent experience, cokeheads are nothing but wankers. Some dude got brought along to our place last night, burst into my room where our drummer, a friend and I were sharing a scliff, and basically ordered him to play his request on the drums. At 3am. Since there was no drumstool, he wrenched a chair away from my friend and started shouting at the top of his voice to play a "tune" on the drums.
Only last week a very attractive girl who'd obviously been truffling it up was walking around our kitchen and flirting with anyone who came in, only to put them down and laugh in their faces.
Two weeks ago was the worst. This guy - this fucking guy wouldn't leave even though all his mates had disappeared home and given up on him. "Gimme a beer and then I'll go" etc. He even tried to steal my coat because he was only wearing a t-shirt and claimed it was okay because "We know each other's families" whatever that was supposed to mean. He knew my ex-girlfriend's mum is about as close as we were. I remember him from when I used to work in an off-licence and he'd come in with his pregnant beat-up girlfriend and shout at her and the staff. Total fucking prick. And all these people had been doing charlie.
I've tried it a couple of times and found it doesn't really give me a "high" other than the ability to chat to anyone and everyone about my stupid life. I have friends who've gone through stages and they would basically blank me or fob me off with some superior comment when I met them out and about and they were on it.
My town used to be a nice friendly place to go but now can be a little scary going out what with cokos and their smart alec nonsequitors and threatening attitdues. It's bullshit.

Yes! The first bump or line make me yawn like crazy. But then there comes a point where I am irrevocably awake.

I know the calm feeling too. It's like my body is vibrating at such a speed that it's humming smoothly and calmly.

One night w/ a certain ILXor who has not yet contributed here I was hanging out snorting big ol' lines, falling asleep sitting on the couch, waking, snorting, sleeping on through morning. Ugh.

It has been 10 months since I lasted used cocaine.

which can be difficult once coke gets involved (see 9am effect)

But I think coke is kinda different. It does fuck with your ego in a way no other drug does. It may not completely transform a person into a unrecognizable form - they're obviously still themself, just a characature - but it never turns you into someone who's more enjoyable to be around than when you're not on it. You may think you're a more interesting/exciting/witty/inciteful person but for everyone else you're pretty much a fucking bore.

That being said I do enjoy it but am aware and accepting of these effects but do it very very very occasionally.

This is how it's been for me, too. Coke was a very occasional thing for me a year or two ago, pot an all the time thing. Now, it's no coke and very rarely pot, and beer, well, a lot.

Okay, see I live in a medium-sized market town in the middle of the town centre above a pub. It is a VERY accessible place and I share it with three other blokes, all in our mid 20s. It is also a VERY big house and is basically built for partying and we like to have our friends come over at the weekends since the drinking hours round here are fairly unsociable (most places close by 11 or 12). The clubs round here are frankly shite and no one I know goes to them.. The novelty of having this place is yet to wear off and since moving here it's become a regular thing to invite our friends back for a drink or a smoke. The problem with being in quite a small town is everyone knows each other by at least 3 degrees of seperation. Once it's all back to ours, it really is ALL back to ours. Once you let 3 people in, they want to bring their mates and they want to bring their mates etc etc. Obviously we've become a fairly popular bunch but I can't help feeling some people are taking advantage of this and taking the piss. Only tonight someone asked me if we're having people back which kind of annoyed me since I only knew the guy not that well.
It's very difficult if you've got a small gang of people in your house and Mr Coko turns up with his mates and asks if Josie's in and if they can come in too - what do you say? And obviously it's not so easy to tell if these people are decent or not. Kick them out? Sure, but how - especially if they're coked up?
I could have a policy where no one's allowed round but on the whole people tend to be well behaved, respect the house and the guests and the people living there. But once in a while it's inevitable that some mong's going to start getting ridiculous about things. I'm quite used to dealing with drunks, being one myself but cokeheads are impossible to deal with, and it's very obvious who is drunk and who is doing something else since the kind of behviour I've witnessed in recent months is unlike anything I've ever seen. It is scarey and it is very difficult to reason with.

option b: there's four of you and you're in your twenties => surely if there are people you don't know in your house who are flipping out, you and your friends can give them the heave-ho?

no i have a wedding to go to tomorrow so i'm taking it easy. I can hear a girl talking quite loudly downstairs. This time I know who she is and it's Friday night, so I'll let my flatmates off.

I do this quite often. I don't like having packs cause I tend to smoke them more often, and I can go for weeks without cigarettes if I don't have them around. So I buy packs for friends and feel less guilty about bumming a smoke from them every once in a while.

As for coke, I've never done it. I've never even been see it or had it offered to me, and I don't think I'd do it if it was offered. But every once in a while I have very vivid dreams of snorting big Scarface-stile piles of coke. I have no idea why.

also, if "fucking hipsters" were the only people that did coke, it wouldn't be a billion dollar industry. so why are you people equating cocaine to hipsters.
