girlfriend starting doing cocaine ADVICE

I just cut out two medium-to-small sized lines of cocaine. I've

already had about 6 or 7 lines over the past 3 hours or so, the last

being a little over an hour ago. I smoked a bowl of pot about 45 minutes

ago, but its effects are pretty much unnoticeable, except maybe a slight

reduction in the edginess of the cocaine effects. I'm definately still

feeling the effects, although I'm in the come-down stage at present. The

next 2 lines should give me a pretty typical high-dose cocaine experience.

At present, I feel contradictorally wired and tired. I feel as if I could

fall asleep if I wanted, although from experience I know I couldn't yet. I

feel a warm fuzzy feeling all over my body, similar to the feeling of the

second wind you get when you stay up all night, but there is also a mild

feeling of stimulant tension. Euphoria has definately long since passed.

Cocaine makes me dehydrated, and this manifests itself primarily in the

feeling of dry mouth. I will frequently suck on my cheeks, trying to

salivate, I guess. It's not really a conscious thing. Its a bad thing,

actually, as it makes the dry mouth worse, and sometimes will leave my

mouth feeling uncomfortable the next day. I'm going to finish my

cigarette, then do these lines.

11:33pm:

I snort the lines, and immediately feel both euphoria, and a

passing urge to get the rest of my coke out and do more. I get the urge to

smoke a cigarette, so I do. The high intensifies for a minute or two then

levels. I'm mildly euphoric, but very stimulated. Its a distinct

stimulation, more like amphetamines than caffeine. But definately

different. There is a mild anesthetic property, mainly concentrated in my

mouth and nose, and a generalized tingly, warm sensation. I notice myself

typing alot harder, but pausing more between sentences. The urge to smoke

my cigarette is overwhelming. There is a warm feeling along my spine.

Mentally, I feel both calm and stimulated, somewhat paradoxically. If

there were people here, I'd be talkative.

11:38pm:

I am feeling a barely perceptible decrease in the high, and decide

to stop typing for a little bit to enjoy it, probably with another

cigarette. The urge to do more coke occasionally pops into my mind but

then leaves just as quickly.

11:53pm:

I went and smoked a cigarette, and alternated (quite frequently)

between walking around my room smoking it, sitting on the edge of my bed,

and putting down the cigarette to lay down and close my eyes. Laying down,

I felt very calm, and as if my body were floating. The peak wore off

gradually, and not evenly. I would alternate between feeling come-down

effects and peak effects, with the come-down periods becoming longer and

more frequent.

The euphoria is mostly gone now, and the thoughts of doing more

coke are a little more frequent and longer, but are nowhere near

irresistable. Simply being aware of the craving seems to make it go away.

I took a multivitamin just now, which I always do before bed anytime I do

any drugs outside of my usual ones (pot, tobacco, and caffeine). It

generally reduces day-after fatigue. The stimulation is still quite

strong, and more amphetamine-like, although it is beginning to fade into

the post-peak mellowness of cocaine. I am almost back to the point I was

when I began writing this.

Physically, the dry-mouth has become more noticable again. My

lungs feel sort of grimy from smoking too many cigarettes (cocaine tends

to make me chain smoke), and my nasal passages feel somewhat clogged and

sore from doing coke all night. I snorted a few drops of warm water to

help clear out my nose, which helped significantly. I can still

occasionally taste cocaine in the back of my throat if I snort or breath

deeply through my nose.

12:05am:

I'm basically back to where I was at the beginning now. I feel

calm and quiet. I don't really feel bad, although there have been times

when I've felt quite depressed and physically worn when I've done alot of

cocaine in a short time. I feel physically worn out, and mentally a little

tired, but its definately not a bad thing - basically like being

overtired, despite the fact that I know I could not fall asleep right now.

I've probably done about 1/2 gram over the course of about 4 hours, which

although is alot, is nowhere near the most I've done; that would probably

be about 1.5 grams over 2 or 3 hours. Aside from the two lines I did while

writing this, I used the cocaine in a social setting tonight, with a girl

and a guy I'm friends with. Its when doing it alone that I'll sit there

and do line after line until it's gone or I just can't take anymore.

I plan on smoking a small bowl of pot to relax, and write a little

more. I'm going to take a 3mg melatonin tablet and probably a shot of

tequila before I go to bed, to counteract the stimulant effect that would

keep me from sleeping. I'll still probably be unable to sleep for about an

hour, perhaps more, but it will definately help, though it will probably

make me groggier tomorrow.

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but not outstandingly so.

Cocaine simply isn't my drug of choice. I'm glad I did it, but it'll

probably be a while before I do it again.

12:16am:

I take my melatonin, and take a hit off my bowl. This experiment

is at an end.

If it's weed, I'd let it go, but doing coke is pretty serious.

Get the f*ck out of there while you still can.

Everyone worries about the implications of the drug to her, and here. What about the implications abroad. Drug money, especially for cocaine, is used widely to fund warlords, and terrorists. Seriously, it has bad social implications and I hope you dump her.

Show her this youtube vid:

The chick is kinda hot. Angry, but hot.

Let me lay this out for you. If she's doing coke with friends while you're not around, and you're the boyfriend, then you're not going to be the boyfriend for very much longer.

I don't generally have a problem w/ drugs or those that use them recreationally, but the odds of anything good coming out of this from your perspective are minimal. You can talk to her about it but you need to walk away from this gal. Expect lots of lying and pity-trips. Have fun with that.

How's the sex? Just curious. She probably let you do anything to her now? Wear protection though because she is probably letting everyone else do anything to her right now too.

oh, for crying out loud. some of you over-dramatise. this girl has done coke 2 or 3 times, it's hardly going to have had that result within the space of a week.

anyway, a few thoughts:

it's funny how, earlier on the thread, people were commenting that a 17 yr old girl couldn't make an adult decision. over here (the UK), you're an adult at 16, and yes, 16 year olds can make adult decisions. i don't think it's so much of an age issue, it's more about life experience and your level of maturity, but anyway.

secondly, i have had many friends who have experimented with this kind of thing. now, we all know coke is a bad drug, and doing anything like that long term is going to have implications for your health. most of my friends who dabbled were those with a lot of disposable income - businesswomen, those in the art/museum world, etc. all of them put it down and walked away from it at some point, without addiction problems (they were lucky).

in essence, i guess my point is that 2 or 3 times is nothing to freak out over. if it becomes more than that, a regular thing, then yes.

a hell of a lot of people, probably more than the general public envisage, try stuff like this. people probably freak out at the idea of ecstasy but i know a number of athletes who took an e once a month or so instead of getting hammered on booze. and to be honest, that's probably a lot better for your health (and less likely to kill you, only people are blinded by their perceptions rather than hard facts).

Call L.A.P.D. They'll beat the crap out of her.

i have a lot of friends who do coke.

some can handle it.

some cant.

if she cant handle it, tell her to get help.

if she can handle it, but you dont want to deal with it, then get out.

end of story.

Doing coke is like playing Russian Roulette. You might not get addicted, but if you do, it will ruin your life.

All you need to know is that nothing good can come out of it. If she really wants to experiment with illegal drugs, tell her to try weed instead. It's only minimally addictive and can still produce some "feel good" effects.

Cannabis is nasty. All that anxiety. It's like bad coke with none of the buzz and all the worry.

I know some people like it.

"i have no idea what i feel/how i should respond to this.

has anyone ever been in this situation?

what are the side effects of cocaine?"

Sounds like she is the man in the relationship. Get some balls and learn to be a man and stand up for yourself.

I disagree with those saying you should give her an ultimatum. You can stay or go as you wish. If you are really, really uncomfortable with what she is doing, you should go. If you really, really like her but don't want to be with her if she is doing coke it is fine for you to talk to her and express your concerns. However, I am against an ultimatum. She will either give in (which will at best set up an unhealthy relationship dynamic) or she will tell you to walk or she will tell you she will stop and keep on doing it. If you want her to stop than ask her. Don't demand it, I don't think any good can come of that.

I like to sprinkle coke on my weed, I love that shit.

It's way different to have tried coke 3-4 times in the space of several months or years as opposed to doing it in the space of a week. Hopefully, you can see the difference

Your argument sounds a little like one of those 100+ year old people saying that they smoked since they were 14 and drank wild turkey every night of their life and that's the way everyone should live.

There certainly are some people who can do coke and not get addicted - but most people who dabble in it will have problems. Most people who smoke and drink a lot will have problems later in life.

"Call L.A.P.D. They'll beat the crap out of her."

.....especially if she's a filthy, no good, piece of sh -- oh, wait. Nothing. Yeah, that LAPD is bad.

Well said

I've done coke with friends before, and never really felt like I liked it or needed it enough to do it again. It was more a wanting to fit in as a college freshman than anything else. I don't do it anymore mainly because I'm content drinking. You meet sketchy people through coke and frankly not everyone can handle it. My ex best friend is now a coke addict who steals laptops, money, and supposedly cars to finance his habit, but has trouble coming up with rent because all of the cash from his fenced goods go up his nose.

The problem I had with coke is that I would wake up and get the feeling in my nose where I wanted to do it again, and it would be all I thought about for like 2 days. Then it would wear off and I wouldn't think about it anymore. If she did it however many times within a week, she's at risk, but I wouldn't break up with her quite yet. That is unless she f***ed some black coke dealer for the drugs, in which case I would peace on her before you catch a case.

Thing you have to remember is that most of these postings are from people who are either very inexperienced and/or very young. Many of them are products of primary and secondary schools where 'bad kids' acted a particular way, and 'good kids' basically did nothing at all, except what Teacher and Coach and their Loving Parents told them. Hence they are overreacting when presented with the question of a girl snorting a few lines of cocaine.

It's like something out of a movie to them. Next scene is, somebody gets killed or goes to the Big House. They have no conception of reality at all.

Reality is, thus far we don't know whether this is a 23-year-old hardcore type heavily into some scene, or just a teenybopper trying out different things, the way most (normal) people do.

GREAT post
