cocaine is a coagulant and a stimulant therefore it both thickens the blood and speeds up heartrate, which can place undue strain on the system. If you have heart problems or severe asthma then stimulants in general are not a good idea...
Most cocaine is cut with bulking agents and so the strength of it will vary...one line is unlikely to kill a first time user but overdose is possible...
At 14 i would be very careful...its not the instant death thats the issue...cocaine is a very destructive drug and can be very habit forming, as it has the ability to 'highjack' the pleasure and reward centers of the brain (in very simple terms).
Regular use, even weekly cocaine use, can become a health problem for some people. If you are going to do it, stick to one line and see what the effect is before you do more, if at all.
The high from coke fades relatively quickly compared to other substances, so that is why people tend to top up with more. Just because you arent high doesnt mean the substance has completely left your body, so be careful how much you do in one session. There is also the moral issue with coke; when you buy it, more than most other recreational drugs you are funding horrible criminal activity and truely horrendous civil wars globally. Be under no illusions that the extreme likelyhood is that more than a few people have died, probably in quite nasty ways, to bring you that Ching.
Be under no illusions that you are messing with a seriously dangerous and addictive substance here, and at a very young age. If you are caught with it the Police will take a very serious view of one so young using this substance...
where are you hoping to get it from?
I'm not one for that kind of punishment Rolly but I am certainly worried about the lowering age at which people try strong drugs.
When I was a teenager it was relatively normal to smoke cannabis but very rare for kids to do much else, now 13 or 14 year olds are regularly taking pills and other stuff.
That can't be good for a 14 year old.
That and of course you are going through big physical changes, I really wouldnt want to fuck that up, you might end up in some sort of arrested development.
Puberty is a grim process, of course it is, you want to fit in and have friends but its just a stage, one that virtually no-one enjoys, I'd warn against even doing cannabis that much and drinking isnt going to do you any favours either.
And people say cannabis isn't addictive. :rolleyes:
I'm not sure that was entirely necessary, and it certainly wasn't informative or constructive...
i think drug education in this country has confused the addiction debate somewhat...
Though I accept it probably didn't do my body any good.
Edited to add that I probably didn't start using coke until I was 18/19.
yeah but half of your happy memories seem to be linked to the fact that YOUR drug use was centered around going to some of the Old DreamScape events and so on...
I don't think thats the case here, its not really part of a scene its just experimentation at a very young age with a very harmful substance...
True.
But with a lot of kids we're not talking the occasional pill, and its a big MAYBE when it comes to harm.
You could have been a genius, you just dont know how much less of a life you are living now that you could have had.
this is a really wild generalisation and i'd love to know how this 'figure' was constructed...
pill use is becoming so normalised in some areas that its scarey, though
(2) Agreed completely.
It's a filthy, over rated, over priced and fashionable drug. The travesty of it being that it's highly addicitve as well.
If you want to experiment with a drug then your best bet is probably weed. You can gauge it a lot better than any of the stronger substances.
But equally I could have missed out on some of the best nights of my life. It works both ways.
Who's to say I'm now living less of life now anyway?
I have never really been a fan of coke either, I like crack but then that's even more addictive.
more scare mongering i'm afraid.
intensive growing under lights can mean stronger weed ...but certainly not 30 times stronger but ...i have grown cannabis outdoors and in a greenhouse that beats everything on the streets for strength ...many times now.
sandoz were manufacturing it for psycho wards etc but overan production constantly ...by millions of tabs so that the ilegal market could be supplied as well ...all with the blessingof the cia and british inteligence ...the people responsible for introducing lsd and cannabis into university campuses.
and where did this come from then?
