At least it's expensive

four months pass...

ah, not really.

I really wish I'd tried coke at a time when I didn't think it would fuck me up too much (these days, a cup of coffee wreaks havoc on my nervous system), but back then, I didn't realize that coke was something that people did. And by "people" I mean people that aren't ridiculous drug addicts that I couldn't possibly know or associate with. Only in the past few years have I learned that LOTS of people I know have at least tried it a couple times.

What you will and what you won't
What you do and what you don't
What you can and what you can't
This is what you need to know:
Loved you though it didn't show
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht

(whispered)
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht.
I know why you ran away, aha
Understand you couldn't stay, aha
Wonder where you are today, aha
After all was said and done
It was right for you to run!
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha

Here. When it's good shit, it's mad fun. It's an occasional thing.

― kenan, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

at any rate, i don't think it's indefensible at all.

― kenan, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

lol rich folk

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

it is crazy-ass expensive. This is true.

― kenan, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

How do you know so much about cocaine????????

― admrl, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i know everything about everything.

― kenan, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

wow

― admrl, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

STOP FRONTING

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 7 May 2007 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link

cocaine is bad for you

― RJG, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

First off, the 'blood on your hands' argument: you're right in that it supports brutal dictatorships, but it also IS ONE OF THE ONLY WAYS SOME PEOPLE CAN MAKE MONEY. try to tell a Bolivian farmer in the Yungas that he can't grow coca, and he will ask you whether you want his family to starve. world aid organizations have tried bringing other crops into the area (most coca is grown in bolivia & peru, processed in colombia and peru) with little to no success. so this argument is a fucking dud, as far as i'm concerned. the problem is that the 'war on drugs' is working on a supply-side economic model, not a demand-side....

second, cocaine is an awful drug to be addicted to. that said, i've done a pretty good amount of coke in my life, and i have never felt addicted. it takes a certain personality to become a coke fiend, and i don't have it. much more of a pot fiend.

third, doing coke alone is GREAT, in my experience. when i have a bit leftover, i roll into joint or snort and take a nice long walk. ENERGY!

― the table is the table, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

fourth, i do understand that people become more dickheaded and arrogant. which is why i don't do it with those people.

― the table is the table, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

it feels like a waste when there's no one around to chat up

― kenan, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm more positive on coke than I should be. It didn't fuck my life up and didn't really fuck anyone else's life up that I know, and I compare it to all the people I know who got hooked on meth and had their lives ruined... coke doesn't seem so bad.

going back a year:

"Good" LSD vs "Bad" is a matter of what else is in it, how it's made, etc.

That doesn't sound right at all. There shouldn't be anything else in LSD and chemical synthesis is chemical synthesis. This sounds like all the old "heroin ecstasy" and "speed ecstasy" stuff.

― milo z, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

coke is good. if you are a dick, you are a dick, no matter what drug you're on

― creme1, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link

milo 8080. lsd is lsd, and active in such minute quantities that any impurities from synthesis still hanging around in a given dose wouldn't be felt. bad lsd = bad set/setting.

― pretzel walrus, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

or bad brain

― cutty, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:53 (seventeen years ago) link

bad brains were pretty mindblowing on acid, actually

― pretzel walrus, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

never did it, SO sXe IT HURTS

― Dimension 5ive, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I've known a LOT of people who got fucked up on coke, and don't know (as) many people who have been fucked up on anything else, so I kind of don't like it at all out of personal bias. That said, I've also known plenty of people who did coke/do coke occasionally and are fine and were never what I would consider an addict. I don't really like the way people act on it, though, so I avoid being around it as much as I can.

― jessie monster, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

i only had three reasons for not doing coke. one: didn't have any money in high school or college. plus: chicken-shit. further: already a hyperactive loud asshole, no need for chemical help in that regard.

― Dimension 5ive, Monday, 7 May 2007 19:58 (seventeen years ago) link

j.m. 8080 on all points imho

― félix pié, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Hah, the last time I did any it was at a house party, everyone else had already partaken and I hadn't realized yet that it was available. I was just pleased to find everyone else SO PLEASANTLY CHATTY and full of good ideas to speculate about that I didn't have to hold back hyper conversational impulses. Don't remember whether that changed after my own dose, altho by then I was a lot drunker, too.

More recent experience w/ the coked-up was of the "kiss them to shut 'em up" variety, gawd.

this never happens to me. i try to watch how much i talk if i'm in mixed crowds, maybe i should throw caution to the wind?

― chicago kevin, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

i like coke because i feel embarrassed for 1 week afterwards

― jhøshea, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

dud when people sneak off into rooms in small groups at house parties even though everyone is friends and everyone else is doing it (in other snuck-off-to rooms).

― negotiable, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

sneaking is fun

― jhøshea, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

if you're not off in another room, how will we know who the cool kids are?

― kenan, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

It wasn't sneaky, it was just in the other room and I was durnk and busy chatting.

― Laurel, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Look for those who are compulsively rubbing their nose.

― Ms Misery, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I have never been to a party where there's been coke available, or maybe I just wasn't aware of it?

(I did go home with someone once who offered me a bump as soon as I was in his bed. I politely declined.)

― jaymc, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

also dud when you lose all shame at 6 am and start calling around again, tho i'm sure that's been said.

― negotiable, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:17 (seventeen years ago) link

cocaine + sex = classic

Maybe not nausea.

― Laurel, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

milo that was hilarious.

What do you think about Starbucks policy about putting cocaine on its coffee cups?

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

what are you implying about mr. w1gg1ns, Milo?

― Ms Misery, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Never tried, never will. I know I'd get addicted immediately. I just know I would. I personally. No preaching at me here.

Also, my meds are reactive to just fucking coffee and seemingly the direction of the wind---sensitive system. SO I don't want to have to deal with a month's worth of wreckage after that.

last time i did this i got a concussion

i half-agree but the 'hey it's the drug war's fault people die' argument rests on a crazy idealism: if only i could buy fair trade cocaine then all this bother would go away. or a crazy cynicism: people get killed selling OIL don'tyaknow...

which only proves what cosseted, selfish shrivel-dicks coke-users are.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Last night I hade a dream that someone called me a "round eyed, giant ass, gaping flaky-skinned loon." That was the exact phrasing---I wrote it down right after I got up.
