Would you do coke recreationally sometimes if it was legal?

Would you?

Sure, a little bump now and then

I love the tag lol.

As another commenter said, there’s a reason it’s illegal. The first, biggest, and sometimes the only thing I want to do after a bump is… another bump. This is a highly-addictive drug that is not sustainable financially or health-wise for basically everybody.

A thrill to it is the fact it is illegal, too. As insecure/low self-esteem as it sounds, it does feel a little “badass” to have an 8ball to have the threat of livening some social event up.

So no. If it was legal, it’d probably be so much more pussified by the government to the point the high would be the equivalent of slamming a black coffee in two minutes.

Don’t do drugs, kids. I was stupid and could’ve OD’d many times over if my heart wasn’t feeling it that day.

What in the narc post is this

Paranoid much? Today I had a triple grande latte, Red Bull, and 200mg caffeine, but it just wasn’t enough. A non-laced with Fentanyl cocaine bump would have been nice…….. and I rarely crave coke.

Legal, pure, and produced by highly regulated companies maybe take it for a spin once in a blue moon, but way too much stuff is laced with fentanyl these days for any rational person to want to risk that just because of something like decriminalization. It's totally different than something like weed or mushrooms, it's inherently synthetic and full of bad stuff even when it's pure not to mention highly addictive. Would much prefer they just legalize plants and call it a day.

Yeah non fentanyl is optimal. I still can’t believe the government says plants (420) are illegal - God said seeds of the earth are good.

I view cocaine as a sort of nitrous booster to the body. It’s ok if your engine can handle it, but don’t do it too much and only when needed or you’ll burnout.

Man I love partying with some coke. Nothing like pregaming with your friends and taking some shots and passing around the plate. But I quit doing it because it's such a net negative. Always leads to staying up way too late, doing things that you think are super fun in the moment but realize the next day weren't that interesting, and then completely ruining your next two days sleeping and feeling terrible. I'm glad it's not legal, if it was I'd be more inclined to bring it out here and there and I know I'd always regret it the next day

 

Wish you could buy coca leaves to chew on instead. A ‘natural’ cocaine without all the gasoline and chemical shit in it would be tamer but potentially not as detrimental to your health. I had a few Monday mornings feeling like absolute shit back in college wondering if I permanently fucked up my nose or jaw … Fuck it put cocaine back in Coca Cola too.

Yeah that would be nice to chew on some coca leaves or make tea for a much less potent version. Everything in moderation.
