Going on the basis that everything is fine in moderation is your first mistake. Although some things are fine in moderation, (alcohol, cheeseburgers, etc) some things are never OK even in moderation. (I am saying this from a safety, not a moral perspective, just to be clear). Playing Russian roulette very occasionally is not cool, slamming your nuts in a car door, is not good, even if done bi-annually, driving 130 on the highway is not good, even if done only once or twice a month,and likewise, doing coke "in moderation" is not good either. For the record, if you continue to do coke, your risk of being a loser is far greater than dying from a heart attack. (OK, that last part was somewhat judgmental, sorry).

Hemlock - natural, organic, bad in moderation.

bnw-

the maximum is different for every person, based on their weight and chemistry. as someone who had a phase with coke though, i'd say keep it to less than a gram a night... beyond that point your not even getting high anymore anyway.

i've had my dabbling phases with every drug except crack, and i believe there are plenty of people who do drugs occasionally and live their lives just fine... you just don't hear about them because they never end up in rehab or in a study or anything.

to me, coke was a lot like ecstasy.... fun at first, but then the high gets more and more fleeting over time. also, there's a price you pay coming down that can last for up to about a week and a half if you pay attention. in the end, the one night of fun doesn't equate to the week of over-sleeping and slight depression you have to get through to recover.

sorry i sounded so condescending BNW. my apologies.

ive seen too many stories like yours first hand. i lived and grew up around kids who did this thought of thing, and most are in jail, have been to jail or just about to go to jail. not because of the drug taking itself, but everything else that drugs entail...the whole drugs/crime relationship.

ive seen perfectly good people totally fuck their lives up in an instant with the shit.

i dont mean for this to be a lecture. im sure you have heard it all before and that you are old enough.

welcome to the TFP btw!

Sigmund Freud had good things to say about....that first year, anyway:
After trying it a few times, I found it's effects underwhelming, considering the costs and the problem of the influence on the supply chain that it's illegality caused. You can only buy it from dealers of hard illegal drugs or from friends who buy it from them....

I ended up doing it as New Years eve "treat", for a few years, and then, not all.

I think, illegality aside, alcohol and cigarets are more immediately dangerous. I come from a time when there was much more concern about objecting to waging avoidable war and objecting to government oppression, than there was objecting to drug use.

It's a matter of priorities....I understand, not so much, the way they are ordered today. I don't think we've suffered 254,000 casualties to our young people, these last 5 years, as a consequence of coke use.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

what ive learned is this. coke can make some wimmins super horny and get them in a sexual mood that they usually don't get into. this is fine and dandy when you have your 9 hour sex session with dildos, rimjobs, anal, 45 minute blowjobs, and a whole lot of stuff that usually doesn't take place.
Well.....then you get that longing to have that crazy sex again.....so you get more coke and do it again. Then again.....then again...then again.....you get the idea.

It's really easy to wash and purify with household chemicals since it's insoluble in anhydrous acetone and most things it would be cut with are very soluble. To those who are going to use it regardless of how many people feel a need to tell everyone that drugs are bad, Google acetone cocaine wash with no quotes and I'm sure you'll find out how to do it without poisoning yourself after looking at the first few pages of links.

Thanks to all the replies. It turns out that at the end of the day, the come down is so not worth it. So another experience for the personal "filing cabinet." Back to the Mary Jane i guess. No complaints there.

ive done it a few times (not really proud of it) but i've never had any limping effect with me. It just probably have different effect on people.

Although the same happens to me when i drink a lot of whiskey...anyhooo

try a cock ring ones your hard, that will usually keep you up .

This is just one more reason not to try cocaine. That, and I'm afraid I might like it too much.

Indeed. Years back when I did that stuff I dated a girl who would do ANYTHING when coked up. Anything in any hole. Nothing was off limits.

Cocaine and moderation just do not fit in the same sentence, from my experience.
