Effects - Difference in effects - Cocaine vs amphetamines high

[RARFE]

too those of you who do both coke and speed, how do the effect of both of them compare i'm guessin theres a difference otherwise why do something that only lasts 1-2 hours max instead of 8+

[Snowsdownhere]

with meth you only need to hit little tiny amounts for HUGE effects...meth is much stronger than coke...but i prefer coca to meth, meth is just dirty

meth hits you like a bag of bricks, and you get reallly reallllllly jacked up.....just try both and see what you like better, see i didnt like meth because i cant function well on it, im too jittery, and messed up to do much of anything, but with coke, im able to do pretty much whatever id like, and no one can really spot that youre on drugs with coke, now meth.....well everyone knows youre doing drugs

[icemaster]

both are, good, but coke is more of a 'pure' good, plus when I do Meth I often stay up for days which really f**ks with my functional life; bang for the buck: meth wins, but distructive to one's lifestyle meth is also worse...

[n3m0]

Same as the guys above listed, i personally have come to love the fealing coke produces often resulting in me thinking that "damn this is the best fealing ever", wherareas meth keeps u sped up for days and the come downs a living whore to deal with if your up for more than a few days

[Daphnie]

Yeah, i agree, meth sucks, all you are is awake forever, yeyo you at least get a good high, and its much classier and cleaner than that shit.

[gijoy]

i like coke when im chilling with some friends (can i have lots of fun alone watching a movie with some coke as well ) I don't use meth alot, only when i go to a party. What fun is there sitting with some people but being totally jacked up.

[Hydrocodone]

I know snorting pharms isnt teh best idea, but neither is snorting coke. Im just wondering if there is a major differance in the chemicals these 2 make your brain release. I read they both effect dopamine reputake but what else? Also Which one actually creates more dopamine per mg of the substance?

[infamous.truth]

adderall is more like speed. not coke.


ghost.

[Hydrocodone]

But dont they both give u the pleasure from stimulating the dopamine areas of the brain..?

[The Kid]

Meth is only mentally addicting, while coke is both mentally and physically addicting. Meth ruins your nose a lot faster than coke does if you snort it. I'd say that they are equally harmful to the body. I'm not sure about the sleep thing though, does meth really keep you up longer than coke?

[bowlingforcindy]

meth does, when i have meth and have been up all night on it, iol be wide a wake, then all of a sudden ill be tired when it wears off. but drugs have affected my sleepin patern, i cant sleep till like 4,5am and wake up at 4pm.

[searcher]

You don't get numb or the "freeze" on meth like you do with coke.

I've been in a situation where I was doing cola, and then soon after did some CM. Felt like I lost something, hard to describe but cola to me is just a lot more enjoyable. What's the fun in just basically getting insanely tweaked out and wired?



And with CM people *look high* (kinda like they're insane and dangerous), it's so obviously recognizable... you almost can't even go into public places like grocery stores without getting dirty looks like people think you should be thrown out. Cola just doesn't do that the way CM does.



Yeah, cola is much shorter acting. And considering the previous fact, very damn expensive. To me though, the tradeoff is not worth it. Doubt I'll ever do CM again.

For me, the first high off crystals is amazing, I feel like I can do anything. But then very soon after that quickly wears off and from then on out i just feel very wired and uneasy, even when I keep doing more and more, not to mention the extreme paranoia that occurs after the first day of a binge. After that, any personality characteristic of mine that was good is wiped away. Coke isn't all that much better, the euphoric feeling seems to last a bit longer, but this drug is so mental for me that I will just keep doing it for days on end (I have a very steady supply). My vote is for coke, only because the mere thoght of how ice is made can make me puke, but they will both get you in the end with prolonged use.

Yeah, me too. I'll start a pot of coffee by putting in the filter (and forget it), start the laundry by putting the clothes in (and forget it), brush my teeth by putting toothpaste on the brush (then get distracted), etc. Pretty soon I've done a whole shitload of things, except nothing ever happened (LOL).

The difference between meth and cola for me is:



Meth - makes me feel wired, productive, awake and in tune with my thoughts.



Cola - makes me feel happy, euphoric, it's totally recreational for me and totally social.



On meth I was really concerned about other people being able to tell if I was tweekin' so I kept to myself a lot (unless I was with other tweekers of course ; ) )



And the biggest comparison for me, I could never have sex on meth (apparently most people can though) and on cola it's one of my fav. things to do.

Hydro, Adderall, is not like coke, ritalin is more like coke. Adderall and dexedrine Release stored dopamine from the neurons. LIke a waterfall flowing out of a dam. COcaine and ritalin block the reuptke of dopamine , more like blocking up the dam, or the neuron, so it allows more dopamine to be in the synapse. its complicated, but thats what i always say.


I actually did both. Ritalin , orally didnt do nothing, and i was still tired, well i took it becaue i ran out of adderall. But i snorted ritalin and the effect was 5x better, but wore off quick and i got bursts of anxiety here and there.


adderall is alot smoother, and less anxiety, and i dont think you need to snort adderall . NOw dexedrine, pure dextro-amphetamine is superior because it is like adderall, but more mental focus and less anxiety than adderall, because adderalll has those different racemic mixures. 1/4 of adderall is dexedrine, and 1/4 of adderall is an old weight loss drug bezadrine i beleive. The dex is the best effect. for focus mental clarity, and social ness, without that ephedrine shaky feeling.





like i said before, i always have klonopin . When i want to go to bed i take 2mg, i still can stay up all night as long as i take 30mg of adderall every 6 hrs. But then again, you need another source because your doctor cant just call in 30more untill 30 days.

[whitetrain]

i just got some of that dexedrine and its ok compared to coke, it gets me through the school day where i used take four or five 30 mg time relaese of adderoll, but go for coke whenever you can

[William_Again]

I have never taken cocaine, but I have taken speed and I am just
wondering for you people who enjoy cocaine, what do you see in it that
you couldn't get out of meth (and in greater value since meth is more
powerful)? Is it something to do with the buzz or the duration,
etc...Also this could go for the oppositte for people who enjoy speed
over coke, what do you see in it that is better?

[Kittyofftitty]

Well I haven't ever done meth but I've seen studies that show that
cocaine is the most powerful brain stimulant known to man, which
would mean the high is better besides that it doesn't last as long.
Also studies have shown that cocaine is the only drug that animals
perfer over food and sex and that it is the only drug that monkeys
will smoke with out a reward or incentive.

[Patrick131]

i've only done crystal two or three times but it was probably three times too many. not to knock its users cause i know that it is prefered by many over coke. i think to me it is the fact that i feel more in control while on coke because i knowi can go to bed after being up for 30 hours... something impossible while on glass...also theyare simply different drugs that don't really give the same feelings. on coke i want to talk and cut-up and clown with friends and listen to good music.. on ice i want to pace back and forth and do push ups and look out the windows or something lol.


crystal also makes my heart pound way too much once the high begins to wear off. but like i said, everybody has their preference and i have friends who love it. when i am with those who i care about most, whether it be my girlfriendor my best guy friends, nothing beats the feeling i get from blowing a few lines of some good powder. on iceeverybody seems to get weird and impatient with each other.. patrick

[morrison]

I definately like the cola high better than the meth high, unfortonutely as of late the cola hasn't been readily available. I personally like to include hardcore smut and sex or masterbation with both. That'sjust me though.


P.S. I have a harder time getting hard when I'm on a coke high.

[snowmizer]

I hate meth. It is much too intense, and I do like intense, but meth has alwaysrendered me paralyzingly high. Meth in my opinion is completely unmanageable. However I know many people that would totally disagree. I do love my speed though, much more so than almost any other drug. Give me some bi-amphetamine sulfate, or some dexedrine any day of the week. During the day when I have to work, I would much rather be doing some good clean pharmacy speed, than coke. However at night, when I am playing or coding on the computer, Coke is it! I do wish you could eat coke like you can meth, and still get a good rush. I really am sick of snorting things, in case I havent mentioned that recently. (heh)

[snowmizer]

whoa.. I missed that post saying that coke was mentally and physically addicting, while meth is not. I have to call Bullshit on this. Besides it doesnt matter addiction is a medical condition, whether its mental or physical, and needs treatment like any other illness. If you want to compare the two as far as safety, I will go there -


Go get a gram of coke first - sit and shove it all up into your nose. wait a few days.


Go get a gram of meth, and shove it up your nose with the same drive that you did the coke. Dont worry about waiting a few days if its good meth youll most likely be dead


My point being that a little over indulgence in snorting coke, usually leads to nothing more than some wasted coke, and a stuffy nose.


small miscalculations in meth consumption can take you out, send you to the emergency room, or kill you.


Also consider that when it comes to addiction, meth is statistically proven to be the king. With a 6 percent recovery rate (thats 6% of all people that get addicted to meth actually can stop using it (but probably will never stop thinking about it) Granted those are US govt numbers so its really probably more like 20%, but even that is still bad.I must disagree with any reasoning that meth is somehow less or an easier addiction issue. Not that that matters anyway, because I feel that certain people for whatever reason are prone to addiction mostly mental- whether its coffee, chocalate, sex, herion, pot, cocaine, driving fast. As far as the physical aspect of things - I have helped MANY friends when they were trying to kick Meth, Herion, Coke, you name it. The only thing worse than watching a true friend suffer through opiate withdrawals is having to do the same with a friend that is hooked on meth. Coming off of long term meth abuse is an ugly thing that I hope none of you ever have to witness personally. SWIM uses cocaine like there is no tomorrow because it is as available as beer where SWIM is. However SWIM is prudent in his use, and frequently abstains for several weeks. During those several weeks SWIM sometimes might think about doing a bump every now and then, but doesnt. I cannot speak for people that inject coke, as I have very little experience with that - Bottom line IMHO if someone is Obsessive, and has very little self control, messing around with any type of drug is going to land them in trouble eventually - Some people more than others, and some drugs more than others. I have never had to personally experience the horrible plight of addiction, but my heart and prayers go out to those and their friends/family members who have. I know how tough it can be.

I like meth better but I'm not really into uppers(other than tea/coffee)and cant afford cocaine.
