Thoughts on Cocaine

Ironically it was the first drug I ever tried, before I even started drinking. It never felt addictive and I didn't do it super often except for a year of college where I was Mr. Party Hardy, ended up preferring whiskeys/wines instead. Haven't done it in years and these days with Fentanyl running rampant and lazy dealers cutting their product with it, I don't think it's worth the risk.

I know tons of elite athletes and successful business men who partake in the snow, therefore it’s good for you.
 

My best time in a half marathon came when I ripped two huge lines right before the race. It put me in a good mood to race.

Also, consider the fact that it is federally illegal and many apartment complexes do not allow cocaine to be consumed on premises. Many successful people avoid cocaine because it’s illegal, but far more would partake in the snow if it was legal and allowed in apartment complexes.

Anyone who disagrees with me is close minded, boring, lives in a hole, and just doesn’t get it… 

I’ll admit I’m a little defensive because finding snow has been such a revelation in my life. I think it is very healthy and my psychiatrist prefers I have snow over too much alcohol or heroin.

I literally copied and pasted Isaiah's responses from the other thread and replaced weed/420 with cocaine/snow

  • Weed should be 100% legal and everyone arrested on low level weed charges should be released from prison / have records expunged. I actually feel this way about pretty much all drugs. If you’re not a dealer, you shouldn’t go to jail
  • Of all of the “drugs” out there, weed is the least bad for your physical and mental health. even caffeine is worse for you than weed.
  • Weed is not chemically addictive like coke, but you can absolutely become dependent on it
  • Weed can negatively affect cognitive abilities, memory, motivation, etc when used excessively. You might know some really bright people who are unaffected by daily weed smoking, but they are exceptions, not the norm.

Not exactly a boomer take IMO. Weed is like anything else, not really good for you, not really bad for you, but can be harmful if used excessively. If you get offended by this take you are incredibly soft

Cocaine is extremely overrated. Most people hyping it up are younger, dumber and just don’t know any better. Seriously, it’s fucking expensive and 95% of the time it’s cut with a bunch of bullshit (yeah I know your dealer is legit bro)
 

Not worth the money or fentanyl obituary

Don't do coke. I have done it a few times (4/5 times) but only socially and never bought it myself. Last was in 2018, and before that in 2015. There is very limited upside with doing coke (if you're looking for a buzz, go drink your heart out instead), but your downside with coke is just huge! You don't know what shit is mixed in the coke you're doing, and I think overdoses can happen much more frequently with coke than with alcohol. Also, hard drugs suck. 

I personally never enjoyed coke, wouldn't say I did it out of peer pressure when I did, but give the other person / party "company". I don't feel that need anymore. But boy was coke overhyped. For me, my disorder is cigarettes, which I have been trying to quit since 2010 now. BTW: I am also willing to wager that enough people have at least tried one of the drugs at some point in their lives.    

This is anecdotal, which I understand, but everyone I know (which aren't a lot to begin with) who started on substances (be it weed, cocaine, alcohol) in high school ended up developing addiction disorders and landing themselves in rehab at some point.
