Who On Dgn,ever Did Cocaine?

[Soulrev]

As I've said before, I've used about every drug except for the 3 I will not touch, X, Crack, Meth.

I had tried Coke twice, just free lines offered to me, and didn't get shit off of them. Then, once I bought a gram. By the time I had bought a gram I had already toyed with Heroin, so, instead of snorting it I banged it. Let me tell ya, woo hoo!

I will say this, banging it compared to snorting it is like night and day. Snorting a line or two will last me like 20 minutes, but banging less than 1 line will last an hour and feel much more intense. I love needles, what can I say?

But after that 1 gram I've decided I'll never mess around with the shit again.. At least not buy it. I might do more if I get offered it but I can easily see myself blowing 200 bucks in a night on the shit, and compared to heroin it's a waste of money, so I'll just stick with what I like.

And again I'll say I'm a responsible drug user, so before anyone preaches to me the deadly effects of heroin, save your breath. I respect the drug that's killed 3 friends of mine, and with that respect comes fear, and with fear comes great caution, which I use. I will admit I am a heroin user but by no means am I, nor will I ever, become an addict. I'm pretty much done messing with it already. I've always kept a 1 month span between "uses" and by "uses" I mean I might go to Chicago to buy 7 or 8 bags for a weekend, split between friends, and then once it's gone, it's gone, and I don't fuck with it again for another month or so.

Banging coke will get you a nice heart attack in the end.

and Heroin makes for junkheads, the lowest of the low.

True, and true.

Banging coke might not be the smartest thing to do, you're right. But doing coke in general isn't the smartest thing to do, either. It killed my uncle. Heroin killed 3 good friends of mine because they couldn't control themselves.

I have two forms of control when it comes to heroin. Myself and my location. I live in the middle of Cornfield, USA and I have to drive to the south side of Chicago to buy a bag, which is highly inconvenient. My connection requires that I buy a bag for them on top of what I get for myself, so all-in-all it costs me about 60 bucks just to GET the shit (gas, bag, etc). However my own self control is what counts. I mentioned in a previous post that I had a taste of dope-sickness once, and I don't want to feel that ever again. Sure, a xanax will kill the sickness, but not forever.

I'm a firm believer that everything is ok in moderation. Most people don't have the self control to moderate themselves, however, I've always had it in my head that my mind controls all. Mind over matter, so to speak.

[phee]

Yes, you have. Knowing phee's personality, he would dig hallucinogens. Just make sure to get a babysitter. And a tour guide.

Ummm.... no....

Life is fucked up enough without them for me.... The universe has far to much chaos in it for me without that.

[Gothmama25]

I used to do coke everyday back in 2003. I hung out at this guy I knew's house and everyday there was a big coke fest. He would get lots of it and invited me & like 3 of my friends to live at his house the whole summer. We would stay up for days at a time. It was get high and help fix up his house. Drank alot of jack daniels that summer also. I'm glad I don't do it anymore but I was addicted and can't be around cocaine at all due to the fact that I can't so no if offered. I have been clean for over a year. I also used to smoke marijuana(been clean from that for 6 monthes). I have tried ecstacy twice & crack once(waste of time).

LOL...how do you know?

You'd probably find some clarity.

I was dosed once with shrooms and it was one of the worst experiences of my life... and drugs basically destroyed my uncles life... (mainly LSD).

Anything that causes thousands of little holes in my brain making it misfire neurological impulses... um no....

[BrassFusion]

yeah, it seems like phee is creative/screwy enough without chemical alteration...

I've had some great experiences. Life-changing, even.

I'd say my life is much better post-lsd. Its been years...but I'd definitely do it again.

It all depends on 3 things: Set (your mindset going in). Setting (your surroundings and the people you're with), and dosage.

I'd also say that reading Terrence McKenna's "Food of the Gods" is a prerequisite.

[phee]

Yeah... That and drugs in a general sense are topping my list of staying the hell away from at all costs.... I get addicted to things way too easily... hence why I don't smoke...

And thanks Brass!

I'd have to disagree with oh......... all of this.

[Paper Hearts]

I've read everything people have said here...and I just want to say, what about those strange sexual fantasies you get on coke? Richard Pryor: 'Now I want you to get up on the roof and then I'll run around the house three times. On the third time around I want you to jump down on top of me.'

I had those every day as a teenager, no drugs involved.

And Phee, I get addicted to stuff too (OMG VIDEO GAMES + MESSAGE BOARDS), but for some crazy reason, I never got physically addicted to smoking. I do it every once in a while, but never really have a desire to unless I can get a free cigarette. =D

Drinking for me is a bit different, but much like video games, that's not so much a physical addiction. It's more being addicted to being an embarassing obnoxious drunk person at City Club, or wherever.

But yeah... if you've made it this far in your life totally clean and you like it that way... no reason to start using anything now.

[phee]

smart man.

Now that is something I am rarely accused of being

be honest- is that why you surround yourself with drunks, drug addicts, and ohsters?

i actually agree with this... mindset, i think, is the biggest issue - that and, knowing whether or not you're an addictive personality. the people surrounding you during said time is also very important, imo.

as for the question - i've done coke twice now, and i'm thoroughly unimpressed. most i've done is 5-6 1" lines, and honestly, i've had more of a reaction to the metabolism-boosting pills i get from the fitness store. the only thing coke ever did for me was make me not feel shitty the next morning after drinking. i would never, in my life, pay for it for myself. and as for me, i'm an "alan watts" man. alao, kahlil gibran, althought i don't know whether he condones illicit drugs for experimentation or not...

but the problem - or A problem, can be that quite simply those who may be experimenting don't really know themselves that well. It could be a lack of depth or development. It could be age. I started doing hard drugs (coke, LSD, mushrooms, PCP, Barbituates and Amphetimines) when I was 15. Most of my using peer group were also in that same age bracket - or at least in that same disassociated and detached social circle. If we de-criminalize, how then do we go about ensuring responsibility on a large scale? For all of the users who are let's say "enlightened" (and I get this trust me, I've done my time) how many users are simply sucked deeper into the void? Because that as well - exists in large numbers. And how many people will suffer unique bilogical damage (because everyone is different and you know this if you use or have used) or psychological damage? That too - is a noteworthy and measurable end result. Most of you that have used, probably know certain people who should not have.

True, and true.

Banging coke might not be the smartest thing to do, you're right. But doing coke in general isn't the smartest thing to do, either. It killed my uncle. Heroin killed 3 good friends of mine because they couldn't control themselves.

I have two forms of control when it comes to heroin. Myself and my location. I live in the middle of Cornfield, USA and I have to drive to the south side of Chicago to buy a bag, which is highly inconvenient. My connection requires that I buy a bag for them on top of what I get for myself, so all-in-all it costs me about 60 bucks just to GET the shit (gas, bag, etc). However my own self control is what counts. I mentioned in a previous post that I had a taste of dope-sickness once, and I don't want to feel that ever again. Sure, a xanax will kill the sickness, but not forever.

I'm a firm believer that everything is ok in moderation. Most people don't have the self control to moderate themselves, however, I've always had it in my head that my mind controls all. Mind over matter, so to speak.

a suggestion to consider:

you are right now - in a controlled environment - which for now in your experience, equates to moderation.

you will not continue to stay in a controlled environement. Nobody does. We age. we move on, and or opportunity opens doors for us.

as your environement changes - situations now present themselves. Oh its just like magic, trust me.

let's say you move to suburbia. Suburbia anywhere USA.

you left Cornrow USA with a still existing taste for junk.

so....your taste (desire) for junk still remains, you took it with you to suburbia.

but in suburbia, your avalaible market has now widened considerably.

it is no longer a painstaking inconvenience to procure dope.

in fact, it may now just take a phone call or a drive down a certain street. I mean that's aprt of what suburbia offers people right? convenience.

Now, since your former Cornrow USA existence provided you the tool sfor moderation, but you have left Cornrow USA, your moderative process therefore, has been comprimised. You left the bubble. The bubble is gone.

And as your environement changes, you change with it. Your NEW environement now has much greater ability to feed you your desire. Your desire therefore - has much greater potential to grow, it is no longer the same desire that you held when you lived in Cornrow.

And since your desire was never quenched while you lived in Cornrow, and you have now taken that desire to a place that will encourage it's ability to grow, you now have all the opportunity in the world, to be a junkhead.

And when you become one - you will cease to be uniquely you. You will now become one of "them" and they are not unique, and they are absolutely typical, as will be the lifestyle that follows...

And despite what you think....you are 100% under control. And, you get sick now. In fact you dont even use anymore to get high, you use to keep from getting sick. if you get off for awhile great, but you sure as fuck dont want to get sick. Plus, getting sick can literally kill you. And your heart by the way - is enlarging and suffering long term damages. And you stink and you itch because your liver is overloaded and your pores are clogging up, although those clogged pores will actually help you stay fucked up for longer periods of time, so maybe you just wont shower as much. and along the way enters a little compromise of yourself here and there, it always starts slowly and is easy to laugh off....

you've allready described being dope sick.

and you mentioned a quick fix (and yoru right it wont stick) in Xanex.

which leads me to beleive that you allready require a prescription for coping skills (Xanex) or that this too - is an illicit tool that you have accquired to make you feel a certain way. Thats two strikes against your moderation, and two avenues for potential addiction.

So in the end - for you to be moderate and in control and NOT be an addict...

you need to remain in cornrow USA for the rest of your life and never go anywhere.

that sounds like a good life to you?

what does one DO in Cornrow USA by the way, besides only use in moderation and not be an addict?

You found me out

[Homicidalheathen]

I found it too enjoyable at one point in my life also and had an unlimited supply. I did have a bit of a problem for 6 months.

So I know what I am talking about when I say.....I really feel this stuff does something bad to your soul....some wierd, dark......bad thing.

I tried it once...didn't do anything.

Tried it a second time....felt a little hyped up...but not anything real noticable...

Tried it a 3rd time, had more than the last 2, and got really hyped up....thought it was fun...too fun....

so I won't do it again.....

Alan Watts is good shit. Unfortunately, the only thing I've read by him is The Modern Mystic.
