Speed compared to Coke

[infekt]

I've tried Cocaine, which was tons of fun, and was wondering how does
Speed compare to it (from what I understand, they have similar
highs...but correct me if I'm wrong)? Better? Worse?



I've been meaning to try it, and will proabably try it regardless, But
I would love to hear your personal opinions on the matter..

Try the search, there must be a dozen or more threads on this topic. Probably more in the cocaine forum.Edited by: Nicaine

They are not very similar really. They are both CNS stimulants but the subjective effects are very different. Speed lasts much longer and is a stronger longer-lasting stimulant.People might say that speed is a somewhat rougher drug, especially in terms of after-effects.

[Dexy Mcfukfuk]

Similar euphoria, but beyond that tehy are rather distinct. THere is
the obvious duration difference, and the rush on coke is something
normaly missing from speed. Coke is a more, lets party really hard
and move around a shit load, while speed is a more, feel really
happy energetic and productive kinda high.

My preferance is speed, i get it for free (prescription) i can get more
done, and it lasts a bunch longer.

i just tried speed today. yeha I reallly like it, feel like doing
things and even walking is a fun thing to do. Its not a drug where it
just fucks you up completely, it actually feels real nice.

ive never tried coke but like Dexy Mcfukfuk i also get free prescription speed calleddexedrine. im assuming with ur name u also get dexedrine, but neway like infekt said, it doesnt fuck u up completely, i wouldnt even really describe it as fucked up like what ive heard and seen from ppl on coke, if anything it makes your mind clearer and again like Dexy said it makes u feel really productive and happy about jsut about anything, all i know is when i use it i can do my work at school and at work alot faster, with better quality, and i feel very happy to do it. its a great thing to use when u wanna get high and need to get things done like work and all that, u get to be fucked up, and u actually wanna work, and u can still get shit done alot better and easier, all around bonus in that situation i find.

neway ill stop rambling on now, im (actually on dexedrine right now).


peeeeece...

I've heard coke is a lot more addictive then speed, i have only tried speed though so i wouldn't know personally.

If speed really clears your mind, there's a major difference. Cola has a subtle but definite mental clouding effect, where you just aren't thinking as clearly as before you started using it. Almost like a mental "numb" equivalent to the numbing taste.

I'm not sure you're right about clarity of thought on speed, however. Stimulants can be deceptive in making you believe you're thinking more clearly when you really aren't. More quickly, yes.Edited by: Nicaine

for me it definatly clarifys thought and ive heard many other people say the same thing or something similar like it makes them very productive at work or keeps them very on task and focused, euphoria might cloud your though if u had a very high dose with low tolerance or something but for the most part, im pretty sure im right, but then again u never know drugs can have totally different effects on different people.

[Nicaine]

BTW, anyone ever try getting high on speed and doing lines of coke on top of it?

I'd think this would be a bad, paranoid mix, but just curious...

[daeron]

swim tried practically every drug w speed including coke(yes speed is..or was?swims drug of choice)-great rushand euphoria,all he wanted to do was to get laid,and he didnt exactly choose if you know what swim means.plus your blood pressure jumps so swim guesses its not such a good idea.


also he thinks if you do speed on top coke it seems to kill the coke high,cos while the initial rush wears off youre in speed country.


also swim would have to say,and risk the eternal hatred by Nicaine,that cola is a crappy drug.swim likes the crystal clarity and the long ride,not some expencive 40min fuzzy igottafuck high.and usually swim cant think very straight on coke,too much euphoria,and im the king of the world feelings and before you know it youre on the baseline again,so youre like hey i want that again and so on..

[Nicaine]

Nah no hatred man... actually I agree in a sense, at minimum it's way too expensive and the short lasting nature can be annoying. I said once in another forum, what's the point of buying a drug just to run out? Something about cola is like that. Like it's gone before you even start doing it.

SWIM's got a real love/hate with cola... he'd be happy to never get near the stuff again, but like an old lover she seems to keep dropping in unexpected... How do you get rid of a skanky old bitch like that who keeps pounding on your door after you told her to f*ck off? Edited by: Nicaine

[bcStoner420]

just wondering, how long does coke actually last, im thinkin about trying. im 138 5'7 or 5'8 something like that, what might be a good dose too?

sorry if this is off topic just seems on topic at the moment.

i have also only done speed but i dont know if this is totally true, i would say they both have the same addictive potential and depending on the person coke may be more addictive or speed may be, could depend on biochemistry and which drug you prefer the high of...


also something that is not addictive at all to most ppl can be extremely addictive to some and vise versa.Edited by: bcStoner420

[infekt]

coke is way more addictive than speed...for me anyway.

[Nicaine]

Coke has a weird mental addiction, it's almost purely mental. Even the first few days, the worst you usually get is a lot of sleeping/eating to make up for sleep & food deprivation. And sleeping a lot gets you over any initial depression.

Jonesing, sure. If a person's been using for years, it takes quite awhile to get over the anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure without coke), but shorter term use and that's gone in no time. Gets better gradually over about a week, by two weeks or so your brain chemistry is mostly back to normal.

It's a weird addiction, because basically you tend to think about it a lot if you can get it, and hardly think about it at all if it's unavailable. So usually I recommend the best short-term "cure" for coke addiction to be going away on a long vacation where it isn't available. Makes it way, way easier. Then the trick is to stay away when you get back, but that's a piece of cake compared to other addictions like nicotine, opiates, etc. It's all a mental trick as far as putting the stuff out of your mind & focusing on other things, then it's almost laughably easy to stay off it.Edited by: Nicaine

i hot railed some meth & coke one time and thought i was in heaven...until the meth kicked in, then it was misery for about 5 hours. i love me some coke, and meth occasionally, but never again together. i imagine if i had a bad heart that woulda been the time for it to give out. coke stomps the shit of anything in my opinion, then its amphetamines/meth and other stims, then x.

Other stims and then X? How could ecstasy not be the #1 spot on anyones list.... other than if you are addicted to something else.

Where SWIM lives it is said this way:"Speed is the poor mans cocaine!"

[Psych0naut]

Regular amfetamine is considered "Poor mans cocaine" al throughout Europe, because it has in some way similar effects to coke but is so damn cheap.About addictiveness, IMO coke and speed are both as addictive, meth probaply alot more.Of the drug users SWIM knows, the number of coke/amfetamine addicts is 50/50.

[bombastique]

SWIM once said to me that he is somewhat more social when on coke than on speed. Your mileage may vary ofcourse. Also in his experience, he likes to have sex when on coke, but when he's on speed he isn't easily aroused. And coke only lasts 30 minutes to an hour whereas speed lasts about 5 hours... Both make SWIM want to "go out and do something" instead of watching telly.

weird in swim's its the other way around.
Coke is very subtle and although it ads energy it is nothing like how pumped speed can make you feel. The euphoria on speed is alot more noticeble and with alot lower dosages needed and good speed just keeps on going (4 hours before even feeling the need for another line)
Swim needed 4 tries before he even knew himself what a cokehigh was, his last try was the most succesfull but he used about 3/4 gr to get an effect similar to what 1 decent line of quality speed does to him.

[blondie8734]

can someone describe how different the comedowns from speed and coke are?

[xpr´k]

speed is alot more physical, it basicly shuts down swims digestive system (that how it feel to him anyway) . Combine that with the looooooooooooong uptimes and you get a comepletely sober stomach.
At some point you will start feeling pretty sick in your stomach, sometimes eating a light snack (yougurth) can help the other times it makes it worse.
Also due to the long hours you'll feel detached from your surroundings and it feels a bit like you floating through this very thick atmosphere with all sounds appearing somewhat muffled.
Then there's the paranoia, granted coke can produce those to but they seem alot more intense when on speed.
About 5 hours after swim railed his last line he will start feeling the euphoria to deminisch and shortly after his heart feels like its beating to hard and irregular.
Biggest mistake in that area is wanting to goto bed, you'll just lay there trying as hard as you can to sleep sweating like a horse and all those little paranoia thought start coming at you in full tempo.
If you gonna do speed trying to sleep is futile imo, just party on till noon and crash on the sofa in front of the TV. By 21.00h, preferably in the company of others who had been partying along. A little weed and some hazy conversations later and it will almost feel like an afterglow even though your physicly pretty exhausted and your stomach is pretty upset.
Swims hangover on coke exsists of feelin tired and a bit down, ive never had this feeling for more then 1 day in a row. Mind you i'm really convinced coke is the most overpriced and overhyped drug there is. Yes it adds a little energy and keeps you awake throughout the night but theres hardly more euphoria then a normal sober party which turned out suprisingly well. i guess coke is your best bet to avoid serious hangover, although i understand people just seem to indulge them in their pain.
I always take a shower a few hours after ive railed my last line then slowly get dressed and try and force something down my mouth. After that i'll meet up with friends and we'll just hang out. I'm not gonna claim you wont feel like you havent got a hangover but it sure as hell isnt halve as bad as most poeple seem to think.
You just gotta pick yourself up and start living again instead of hiding under a blanket just focusing om every bad feeling you get.
Its almost all the in the head and all you gotta do is not give in to it.
