Experiences - Cocaine experiences

[Nicaine]

Been cola'in for about 48 hrs, got a paltry 3 hours sleep in the past 72 or so. It's 96 degrees outside, and a bit warmer indoors. Walked to the store to grab a few things, and I was mumbling stuff to the cashier that made little sense and was getting funny looks. Very hard to walk, talk and act normal but there's this terminal drive in me to look ""like other people"".



Everything is misty and I can only see what I look at directly... my peripheral vision is gone. Light is too bright and it's all misty looking. Want badly to sleep but the heat and cola make it impossible, so I log onto drugs-forum.com and post something for the hell of it. No clue if I'm making sense or not, but the computer is a safe, reliable medium (been into computers since 1984 and type 110+ words/minute), it's about the only thing I can do without forgetting what I was about to do.



Interesting day this is. I'm on a fixed income, it's the 9th and my bank account is almost empty. At least I paid all the bills, fast, fast, fast on the 1st and 2nd, get 'em paid and forget 'em. Time to sell something else I'd promised myself I'd keep. Telling myself it's just 'stuff' and I'll buy it again, but don't know... don't know, don't know. Insanity and death keep approaching and then backing away again like they're not quite brave enough to approach and strike.



No matter how much cola, it's *always* almost gone. Lately there's a deep panic and terror in me at the thought of it being almost gone. When I think about that, I feel a sense of panic and terror that I would be panicked and terrified of running out of (coca) cola.



Yeah, they've come to snuff the rooster -- yeah. Yeah, here come the rooster... no he ain't gonna die. Ain't found a way to kill me yet, eyes burn with stinging sweat. Blow up the outside world. When it's gone, send me a postcard from hell.

So after trying to get my hands on it i finally got me a gram. I have to say holy shit.....coke is one hell of a cool drug. I cant wait till my next paycheck so i can have some more fun.

[Maxamillion]

Sounds like trouble in the making.Coke can be good fun....as long as you don't overdue it, and spend all your $ on it.

[djryand]

Just remember that moderation is the KEY!!! The less frequently you do it, the more you will enjoy it and the less risk of addiction. Have fun, but be smart and don't let that shit control you.

I tried Coke a couple of times last summer and wasnt really impressed with it. Ya it made me feel really good and confident, but it only lasted about 15 minutes. Then allI wanted to do was snort some more as I started to feel 10 times worse than I felt before I did it. At the price we paid for it, I dont think this drug is worth it. Does anyone know how to prolong a high? (without doing more)

[DubOK]

Oh i plan to do it in moderation. I do speed in moderation and i plan to do this drug in moderation also. As crazy as it might sound i really dont have a additictive personality. I can just stop taking anything and be fine.

[cyberfunk]

word of caution, I've heard a lot of people say that they can just quit and be fine. But in the end most of them got worse or kept on doing the drug. Its happened to me. It takes a lot more than you think to quit a drug you've done for a long time, even in moderation. Its alright to have fun just be smart about it.

[Dj DS]

I wanna experiment wit' coke. Well good luck to you and your coke use.

Oh believe me i had to stop smoking weed...after doing it everyday for the past 3 years it was hard but idid it with flying colors and have been clean for about 3 months but then again coke and other drugs are much different. I do hear what you are saying.

Same here. I did it more then a few times but I started to realize that the comedown was seriously 10 times worse and lasted WAY longer then the high. I mean come on, 30 minutes feelng great and then 4-5 hours feeling the most depressed ever. Not worth it IMHO.

[Curtains]

kinda disturbing when all ur friends think its not worth it, and its not that great. yet whenever they get money its the first thing it goes to

I believe we call this addiction. It's a sad thing isn't it? I am really bad about doing this with alcohol. Every time I drink I tell myself I will never do it again because I end up feeling like shit. Yet I always drink again............

Small lines (bumps) used frequently, instead of a couple fat rails.

damn 15 min high for a 4-5 hour comedown man that kinda made me not want to try coke

[DubOK]

I never had a strong comedown off coke so it has yet to turn me away. I do have to say that being hight for only 15-30mins does suck balls wish it would last longer.

Thats good advice. I like to do very small bumps throughout the day, and I feel good the whole time. But when I do big lines or a lot of lines in a short time I don't feel as good. Pace yourself. Smaller amounts over a longer time works best for me. -K

In the beginning I never had a strong comedown either. At first I didnt even notice the comedown. But now they seem to be really bad. I find when you know your about to comedown it helps to take a benzo(i like valium). It really helps you to have a smooth comedown. Just a tip if you do start to get stronger comedowns. -K

[These Forensics]

I've both done a gram in one line, and spread a gram out over a few
days and the comedown gets obviously bigger the more you do at once. I
can say that if you have the money, coke is a hell of a leech.

[hippie_lain]

Just in my experience but the first couple of times you try coke it should last at least around a half an hour. To really experience coke you need to get some 80% or highier stuff. Coming down just depends on the person I guess. The only thing that bothers me is my F**KING heart beat.

Because I am going to expand the infopages I needcocaine experiences for http://www.drugs-forum.com/cocaine.html. Please post your cocaine experiences here. If possible mention how much you took, how you took it(ingested, smoked, injected, etc) & the duration of the effects. Thanks.

[chico]

First and only time...


Dosage: 2 lines (not sure of mg)


Intake: snort


Duration: about 3-4 hours


Effects: high energy, some euphoria, talkative, wired, obnoxious


Bottom line: I enjoyed it but I really wanted E that night so I was kind of bummed. Supplier didn't come through for us. Had to settle for coke.

OK here's a report of one of my first few cocaine experiences. During
these experiences I felt a real sense of euphoria and altered
perception, compared to my subsequent experiences, which have,
regardless of the dosage, simply given me an energy burst and enhanced
sociability/confidence.



Dosage: around one third of a gram of the dealer's personal supply
(this was the shit), split into three lines in the space of
approximately 3-4 hours.



Included was 2-3 pints of Stella, a double jack Daniel's and coke (coca-cola that is) and 3 Long Island Ice Teas



Two spliffs, each of a reasonable size before the coke and one spliff after to send me off to sleep.



Mindset: this was my second coke experience and I was a little dubious about the effects of cocaine



i) because the first time I tried it the effects were minimal and



ii) because I had seen that coke had seemed to have the effect of turning my friend's into arrogant arseholes.



I explained this to my friend before I did the coke and he said he
wasn't surprised, but there were benefits to coke if done in the right
environment. Otherwise in a relatively positive mood. Work and
relationship both going well.



Setting: my friend's house to begin with, followed by a standard pub
and a downbeat indie bar. Not particularly exciting venues, but as
usual full of people who were up for a chat and some people I knew
fairly well, so nice relaxed social environments.



Report: It had been a few days since I had smoked weed, so I was
feeling pretty relaxed after the first spliff. As the effects started
to subside I began to drink a few cans of Stella, which began to put me
in a more talkative mood. I snorted the first line and intially didn't
feel much. As we left my friend's house and began walking to the club I
started to talk about my feelings towards coke. This continued for a
while and conversation started to folw much more easily. I felt like
being much more honest and frank about my feelings. Thoughts started
popping into my head at a faster rate than normal and I blurted out
every single one of them to my friend. But this wasn't like an alcohol
induced talkative state, I had far more control and felt far more
focused. Gradually, I became aware that my mood was significantly
elated. I felt really good about myself and suddenly said to my friend:
"sh@t I've been talking non stop for the last half an hour and I feel
great!". My friend just laughed. This wasn't as intense as the euphoria
I had had for my first few experiences with MDMA (of the dolphin and a
mitsubishi variety), but it was somehow better. I had more control. We
smoked a small spliff and entered the pub. Here I drank another Stella
and a double JD and coke. After the JD and coke I had another line and
began talking to a friend I hadn't seen in a while. She was asking for
emplyment law advice, which I gave her, but I probably ended up talking
longer than she wanted. I felt great about myself and the fact I was
giving this person advice. I was enjoying pushing my mental faculties.
I seemed to have a much quicker and more incisive analytical abilities.
I started toying with my new found mental abilities, asking my friend
to test me on capital cities and other general knowledge questions. He
joined in enthusiatically, obviously sensing where I was coming from,
also enjoying playing with his mental abilities. It wasn't really a
battle of egos because neither of us cared whether we got the questions
right or wrong. Nothing could dent our self-esteem at this point. It
wasn't so much an arrogant high though, just full of self-belief. I
found a few more people that I knew and proceeded to tell them how
great they were. The real nature of the high started to hit me at this
point. Everything seemed a lot "cooler", like it had a slick silvery
gloss to it, like watching a Hollywood movie but only the really good
and exciting bits. I found my friend's brother and took great pleasure
in giving him a rather large portion of the half I had purchased
(why?). I felt like the man.



After the next line at the indie venue the "Hollywood" effect I
mentioned before intensified to the extent that this was almost
reminiscent of an MDMA high, but without the occasional awkwardness.
The music, which was a mixture of deep funk, house and breakbeat
started to course through my body and I felt compelled to move in time
to the beat. The music gave me a massive burst of euphoria. Nothing
else mattered. At this point I began wandering up to strangers and
starting up random conversations with them, with no worries whatsoever.
I felt like a God. I felt untouchable, invincible and I wanted to share
this feeling with everyone else. I certainly didn't feel any feeligs of
superiority. Everyone felt like my brother and I wanted everyone to
feel what I was feeling.



That's about the last I can remember. All I know is that in this
particular instance the alcohol, and the spirit based drinks
especially, amplified the effects of the coke and took some of the edge
off.

well documented experience! lol

[insanity]

dosage: 1 line.


effects: my first time made me feel kinda mellow, chill, heart beating faster. calmer but more aware. then felt sleepy after 30 minutes. effects lasted very short but i guess something was happened in the 30 minutes.


now when i take coke, i know what to expect. it's a ride that has to be riden by the moment, every minute. enjoying it. the first time i did it, i didn't know what to expect and missed the train, all i felt was the comedown and tired/sleepy.


coke is very different than the first couple of times i tried it. now it makes me stimilated. nothing compared to speed, but coke also has a euphoric aspect when combined with opiates and benzos. my favorite would be with opiates because it feels so good.

"Cola ch-ch-changes..."

My body chemistry has changed significantly over the years regarding cola. It's funny how it's so drastically different now than it was the first few times I tried it as a teenager.

Part of it is being on certain prescribed medications, which I take for depression and other ailments. I'm sure they interact in unpredictable ways with the stuff. Note that I cannot use alcohol at all with these meds, as it simply makes me ill; therefore, I never mix alcohol & cola. I do tend to combine downs (benzos, valium-type meds) with cola, with no obvious problems at all. If anything, these help moderate the tweak when necessary and eliminate potential paranoia and other similar nasties.

I can't go into great detail here; only say that the whole experience is just greatly *different* than it used to be, and it keeps on changing as time passes.

As an example, I can really no longer smoke the stuff and enjoy it in any real way, aside from the taste (which somehow stuck with me over the years as impressive, despite tasting something like burning electrical wire). Occasionally I can get an amazing moment of crystal clarity and wide-awakeness if hitting a pipe, but most of the time I get a feeling of immediate physical exhaustion, as if the mere act of smoking a little bit wears out my body instantly. This is usually followed by drowsiness and hunger, often within a minute or two.

Nor does smoking it cause "rushes" or anything like that anymore -- it's merely a *different* high than snorting, and lasts approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes (vs. 15 to 45 minutes using the nasal route). For some reason there's almost no "jones" anymore if I smoke a few rocks -- if anything, I regret doing it (it goes fast when rocking it up) and wish I had stuck to sniffing. It's just strange how much this has changed in the past 15 years, over the course of some several-month-long heavy binges.

I use smoking as an example of how drastically body chemistry and other drug interactions can change one's perception of a drug's effects. Originally I reacted pretty much as smoking is "cracked" up to be (pun intended). Luckily, my pattern (with the powder too) has always been acute binge use over several months followed by at least a year away, rather than chronic/constant use. This has kept my health in pretty good condition, at least compared to a chronic, heavy user.

I could probably go on forever (snorting it has changed a lot too over the years), but this is the point I wanted to get across. Don't expect that because you react to it a certain way now, you will in 5 years or 10, or even tomorrow. It may be your friend today, your enemy tomorrow, a friend again next week, or you may just become indifferent and decide it's a total waste of money and time, and never touch it again. Really.
