    Drugs aren’t the same for everyone…

    Some people can do a line of coke and leave it at that. Others get a tiny taste and will do anything for the tiniest bit more.

    It makes it very dangerous when people don’t understand human variation. People it doesn’t effect much or who aren’t prone to addiction will act like it’s no big deal, then some unlucky sucker who hangs out with at a club becomes an addict overnight.

      I get zero pleasure from cocaine. It’s literally just a tool to keep drinking. (NB: don’t do this. It’s terrible for your heart) But for some of my friends it’s the end-all, be-all. They wanna do lines all weekend and I’m just like, “why?”

          I happen to enjoy both. One I do in responsible amounts less than once a year. The other I’m abusing like a rented mule.

          Depends on the perspective, I think people going off the deep end are rather unhappy that their drug of choice is cheap, readily available yet unhealthy, comes with all kinds of nasty side effects and is quite dangerous once you’ve reached a certain point.

          I can say that while my drinking was risky at times, it seems I never enjoyed it as much as some others, reached I liked it but when I quit / faded it out I didn’t really miss it. It seems other people have a much harder time not drinking. So I consider myself lucky there.

          Not hating on booze or anyone enjoying it. Just offering some perspective on your statement.

          Yes, this is a me and a few of my friends in our twenties.

          Turns out getting on Adderall makes you want to do coke a whole lot less and makes your mornings actually feel fine.

            Also turns out that actually treating people’s issues will prevent them from self-medicating with more harmful substances.

            Happy for you, mate!

        I’ve never liked coke or meth. I know not to try abuse strong opiates.

        I’ll take anything offered if I’m drunk, tho.

        Yeah it’s fun for a bit but the self loathing afterwards is intense. I kind of don’t understand how you can get addicted to it but I guess people do.

      Exactly the reason I’ve never tried coke. I know I would fuckin love it and it would ruin my entire life

      Exactly. I’m perfectly capable of taking or leaving cocaine. If I feel like doing a line if a friend pulls some out, I can do that, and never think about or crave it, years can go by between uses. Marijuana does fuck all enjoyable for me, Opiates though, i had a shoulder injury and the doctor gave me 20 5mg OxyContin’s. I took one, once, and realized i absolutely need to never ever do any opiates ever in my life, best feeling I’ve ever had, seriously dangerous and I had a glimmer of how people get hooked on heroin.
