to want to try coke just once?

[CentreParting]

I'm nearing a significant and have a bit of a bucket list.
This is one thing that I'm considering.
Sourcing it shouldn't be a problem.
I've tried softer drugs in my midtwenties, but am now just got a yearning to give it a go in a very controlled environment. But and a little bit concerned about the aftermath.
AIBU to be thinking like this?

aww shame i was getting all excited about a real live celeb on mumsnet!

I wasn't at all bothered when I was younger much younger about the moral aspect of it tbh.

I have taken coke, it made me talk a lot and think I was the most interesting person in the room.
People on coke are not fun to be around if you haven't taken it yourself, in fact they are probably the most irritating, annoying people in the world.
Sex on coke is probably the worst sex you can ever have...ever.

I wouldn't do it now, I wouldn't even consider it but that's because I did it, it wasn't much fun and the days following it were hell on earth. Think of the worst hangover you have ever had, times it by 10 and imagine it going on for 3 days. I used to feel like I had flu, for about a week after.

I like to think I have a bit more sense now than to put myself through all that, the after effects definitley outweigh anything good about it.

You will most likely get a not good batch. It's rubbish. You have kids.

It'll be a cheap thrill but really?! You should've done it earlier when you had chances to go clubbing etc.

I agree with the other poster on what page 5, E is better but this was at least 10-15 years ago.

My current boyfriend says he occasionally does it if "he knows its good", I mean how on earth can you know it's good?!

done E's,coke, trips etc but too old and haggard by drugs to do it now!--

My friend sent me and another friend a video of her show once and said we sounded exactly like her.

I was soo embarrassed and adamant that I do not sound like that. (No offence Stacey)

someone said people taking drugs are discontent in some way....

well then, when I was 18 (and under) and offered weed, pills, acid etc I said no, ooh until I was about 25. then for about 3 years me and some friends went clubbing a lot, mostly Es, some coke, a few trips and that was it.

OK a few people MAY have been discontent it made me into a first class bitch but then again I think it makes a LOT of people nasty and horrid towards others IME. The drugs I think can bring out your nasty side.

I can say I generally had a good time but then again also had no mortgage, partner (or short lived) and was hedonistic. Wouldn't repeat it but wouldn't say it was a bad time of my life at all. And I certainly wasn't discontent.

I'm confused by all the people saying drugs are terrible and aren't that great when they've never tried them. Or that only sad, boring, stupid people take them. I'm a happy person with a lovely life, a great career and lots of qualifications and let me tell you I have spent many years very much enjoying drugs, as have my friends - yes, all of them - who like me are contented, married/partnered up career people.

The fact is that people take drugs because they feel good on them, that's it.

I worked in pubs and clubs all over the world, and took drugs with interesting, fun and lovely people that I met along the way. I've had some amazing nights out, not because of, but with the background of a pill or whatever. I've had loads of fun! I haven't OD'd, suffered from mental health problems, or become addicted. I was open with my family about this, although they most certainly didn't approve, and I will also be honest with my future children.

Yes I realise that some people do have a problem, do get addicted etc, but let's not go over the top with what we're discussing here - its someone who wants to just try something, probably once.

Some of the high and mighty responses from the moral guardians on here are just misleading. Most people who use drugs – be it legal or illegal – do not come to serious harm, that is a fact, and no amount of scaremongering and notions of 'just say no' messages have stopped almost 20% of the population from trying drugs.

In terms of the idea you must be unhappy to use drugs, it is exactly the same with alcohol. Most people who like glass of wine or beer are not unhappy. They are drinking it because they like the taste of alcohol. A smaller number of people will drink alcohol because they are unhappy and trying to blot things out. It is the same with drugs.

Did the OP ever come back? I was recently at a conference where we had a presentation from a leading business woman who is also on TV quite often.

I would say she was a good reason not to take coke...

McFox speaks truth - you know what, drugs are fun that is why people do them?
some people who enjoy a beer will later become raging shaking alkies, others will continue to enjoy a beer after work.
as someone else said 'drugs are dangerous because they are illegal' not vice versa.

oh comon boschy can you tell us a word that rhymes with her name?

I think I should just avoid threads like this. Being a 'raging alkie' and all.

What drug takers fail to realize is how utterly ridiculous they sound and look whilst on their drug of choice.
I grew up in the 90s and saw my fair share of people monged out on E, talking rubbish on coke whist sniffing and wiping their nose.

Its not big, its not attractive, maybe film yourselves one night and watch it while you come down from your artificial high and see yourselves for what you really are......law breaking, idiots !!

The scary thing about this thread is all the people who are saying yeah go on try it would probably have a heart attack about the thought of their DC having a friggin fruit shoot.

Drugs are for mugs, why would you want to try it unless you have a totally shit unfulfilled life. Find pleasure in other ways - there are lots out there.

Absolutely gob smacked about the amount of people who think it's ok to snort a line or two...its not, it's for stupid pricks who do not appreciate what they have.

I've only had cocaine once and that was enough for me. At least I could say I'd tried it! As I said earlier, I actually preferred speed ... lasted longer and the effects were more noticeable. Only had that a few times too, always with other friends who were doing speed and on nights out, so I don't expect we bored too many people with our antics.

Both had a far less profound effect on my mood, demeanour, physical well-being and feelings the next day than 3/4 of a bottle of wine would have had on me then or now.

We are very hypocritical about drugs vs alcohol - although I fully accept the terrible facts of cocaine supply and production.

Why should it bother you what people look or sound like when taking drugs? This is an attitude I just don't understand, why unleash your venom on people when you clearly have no experience of it? Why is it something for you to get upset about?!

Honestly, some of these comments are just amusing.

Glad you find this amusing McFox... unfortunately it makes me want to scream.

I dabbled in various things in my youth and I would not say a line of coke is worth the risk when you are a parent. Even if the chances of anything medically or legally going wrong are slim, it is still not worth what you are risking. As drugs go it isn't much of an experience anyway, not like something fab like decent MDMA.
Have a nice bottle of fizz somewhere beautiful instead :-)

OP how about you just spend a nice day with your kids and be fucking happy you have them.

Drugs are for mugs, why would you want to try it unless you have a totally shit unfulfilled life. Find pleasure in other ways - there are lots out there
'drugs are for mugs' until it is time for 'wine o'clock' or 'drunken thread' at which point drugs become amusing it seems.

I have taken most drugs pre ds You are not missing anything apart from the odd E which was fun no matter what anyone thinks of reasons behind it etc.

Agree nigella alcholol is legal and brings in £££ for the govt but apart from that is as dangerous as any in the hands of an addict.

As a bucket list entry I say why not? You wil NOT become an addled no-nose entity. And I recall another thread about heroin on here and the vast majority of people were pro trying it. Mind you I think that was if I were terminally ill premise.

The high only lasts about 30 mins and you do not feel 'altered' in a way ecstasy/mushrooms/lsd makes you feel so if you don't like it you can be assured it will wear off quickly.

if not more dangerous noddyholder what i have seen over the years, with absolutely no disrespect to the misfortunes that cocaine has brought to some on this thread, and goinggrey you have my sympathy, what a terrible way to lose a child.
