Coke is pointless

[Whatajokr]

I'm late 40s. On Saturday I had 3 lines of coke over the space of 2 hours. First time in my life I've ever had drugs.

It did absolutely nothing for me. Pointless waste of time and money.

My friend, who takes it recreationally every few months, asked if I could feel the buzz, or the energy it gave me. Nope.

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

I'll be sticking to alcohol as my drug of choice. Why people waste their money on that stuff I'll never know.

In a glass bottle with ice and lime ta.

OK, so when you’re thinking (because you do a lot of that clearly) that lots of industries are a bit bad and exploitative, you conclude that you may just as well just support any old industry then, even though it’s many times worse?

You don’t have ignorance on your side. You know that cocaine causes countless murders and atrocities every day, it’s easily researched. But you’re OK with that because your neighbour has a diamond ring?

Maybe it was coke zero?

Or watch Border Force on the Dave channel and see the thousands of people asking for asylum in the US because of the violence of the cartels and they are terrified for themselves and their children. The people terrorised into becoming drug mules. The shipments of guns that are intercepted destined for gang war across the border that kills innocent people.

I thought I was the only one it does nothing for.
I have tried 4 or 5 times over the last 10 years and never felt anything.
Everyone else does, they recon its great.
I dont feel a single thing.
I just stick to my vodka and pink gin now.
Wish I knew what the hype was about!
I did read someone comment sometimes of you have adhd it doesn't do anything......I've often wondered if I do.

The point is that people only put value on what matters to them.

Every single one of us partakes in an industry that actively harms others.

You beat me to it.

Na @MrsDanversGlidesAgain , some people buy fast fashion from Sheit, so that justifies taking cocaine, apparently.

Nope, me neither.

I may be missing the point but if you'd never done it before why the bejeezus would you do three lines in two hours??

Quite.

Spot on.

Precisely. The very technology you are typing on and the seat you bum is most likely sitting on to the pants covering that bum. Almost everything we use and consume is built on slave / child labour in extreme poverty so unless you are acutely aware of that it’s a bit hypocritical really.

Nope, the point is that the cocaine industry is a million times worse than the other bad industries mentioned.

The other point is that most of us with a sliver of conscience will avoid industries that we KNOW cause the murders of countless innocent people.

Ahhh cocaine. The drug that turns nice normal people into aggressive arseholes, sucks all your money out the back and absolutely fucks your heart.

You're bang on with your thread title...

Just be glad your mates dealers are selling them watered down coke and you dodged the bullet of really liking it.

I prefer corporation pop.

I did some drugs in the 1990s as a teenager. Spliffs and Es were nice, and I was offered a line of some 'really good' coke once at a party. It didn't do a thing. The others didn't believe me, and offered me another. Still nothing. I think it doesn't affect everyone the same way. So for me the waste of money would be one reason to avoid it, and the fact that I now know it can cause heart problems even the first time you use it would be a bigger reason, but the biggest is that I don't do drugs. Full stop.

Cocaine is not an opiate. It is a stimulant that works by stopping the re-uptake of dopamine and serotonin, two neurotransmitters associated with pleasure and reward, hence the quick, intense and short-lived high.

The people's lives that are ruined by illegal drugs, and the trade in them, is a very compelling reason to refuse them.

What a silly thing to do.

Grow up.

😂😂

There's no better time than middle age, I say. I've always said when I get to a certain age, I'm going to try everything I was too scared to try as a teen.

I did coke once and felt really weird for about 2h. Never again!!! Ill stick to alcohol as my drug of choice!

Although the delivery of meat to your supermarket and clothes to the shops doesn't rely on county lines, giving young kids weapons and frequent assaults and violence in exploited communities within your own town.
