To ask how much cocaine would you buy for £600

And how 'immune' to it would you be to use it all in 3 nights?
Or is he snorting flour?
Apparently it has 'no effect' apart from to make him feel a little relaxed.
Also how addictive is it?
It's my ex and I don't give a shit, he can rot, I'm just curious.

Depends.. if he knows the dealer well he might get wholesale prices, so an 8ball (3.5g) would be around £200/250 - normal rates depending on quality would be between £50/100 for 1g

Some dealers sell it at £10 per 0.1g

Anyway that's a lot of coke to get through in 3 days by yourself - he'll be having palpitations and not able to sleep and terrifying himself that he's dying for a good while.

Would not have a clue how much it is, how long it lasts, and a bit at those who know exactly how much a certain amount of illegal drugs cost.
Don't care if that means I've got my judgy pants hoiked up, rather that than know the ins and outs of illegal mind bending drugs.

No, thanks be to the heavens no kids with him. He's gone. I'm just curious as to whether he's bullshitting or what. You'd never know with him. I too wouldn't even know how many grams you'd snort in a single go, so even knowing how many grams doesn't make me much wiser.
Anyway, it's none of my business. Just morbid curiousity.
He's full of shit. I know he's lying when his mouth is moving.

As a complete aside, anyone free to accompany me to a medical appointment on the 19th? Was supposed to have had it earlier this month but landed in hospital instead and they said I was too ill to have it. So now I'm left with the same conundrum.

Assuming I don't land back in hospital again in the next 10 days! Between two minds as to whether to go to GP tomorrow or not. Not sure what she can do apart from refer me for more tests. Anyway, I'll survive without coke-head accompanying me.

About ten. My flat mate is a recreational user and spends £60 per gram

He may be your ex, but you DO give a shit.

Problem is he's the only person I know in London. I'm under a MH Community Recovery Team - I don't suppose they'd accompany me to a gastroscopy? Though knowing them, they wouldn't be insured or whatever to leave me for 24 hours blah blah blah fucking blah as that's how long I'm supposed to have an 'escort' for.
Might pick up some randomer from the street and bring them as my escort hah.

7 year relationship. Co-dependency. Only person I know in London. So yes, him being a loser is a bit of a pain in the arse.

He'd be a complete eejit and wouldn't know a dealer, so he'd probably be paying over the odds. He certainly never did coke while with me to my knowledge. He's like a toddler let loose.

For goodness sake Pumpkin, joins your knickers out of your arse. Some of us work with addicts and drug users, some of us married them (family Renoir sins) and some have interesting former lives.

Some of us are snorting eight balls of Columbian marching powder off Channing Tatum on the weekends but that's probably just me

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/12/2017 02:29

Hoik boy joins!?!?

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/12/2017 02:30

FFS because of my typos it actually looks like I AM snorting coke off b list celebs. I give up.

gingergenius · 10/12/2017 05:31

@MrsTerryPratchett I was there first. With Tom Hardy too!

woofmiaowwoof · 10/12/2017 08:43

Gonna have to pick you up on calling Channing a b list celeb! :)

All opiates are incredibly addictive, tolerance develops quickly and (if you have access to it) you take more to achieve the same result. Addictiveness (the shakes, the v&d, brain fucks) kick in, then utter dependence (needing more and literally doing ANYTHING at ANY COST to get it), Dependence is where using people, and killing yourself as the drug "wins" come into play.

This guy has NOTHING you need, want, desire in your life, regardless of how he might try to pull on your heartstrings or the past,

Block him, change your number, move address. He will only bring destruction to your life.

LanaKanesLeftNippleTassle · 10/12/2017 12:14

Havent RTFT yet...but round here coke is sold at £10 per 0.1g.
So £600 would get you 6g, bit more if you bought in bulk.

Sounds like he's on a highway to nowhere in that case.

XiCi · 10/12/2017 14:01

Cocaine isn't an opiate Vierna

I feel for you OP but he doesn't sound like he'd be any use to you at a hospital appointment anyway. Have you any family that could travel to you?

Vierna · 10/12/2017 14:16

Of course it's not an opiate, how stupid of me

It does follow a similar pattern of tolerance, addiction, dependency though.

So sorry for my stupidity

manicinsomniac · 10/12/2017 14:27

Really shocked by some of these prices.

£40-50 for street, poorer quality stuff and £60ish for dark net, higher quality is my experience. Never known it be £80-£100

So I would have expected him to have 10-12g for £600. I have two close friends who are addicts, one quite severely so. Even they would only do 1 - 1.5g a night on a binge. Maybe 2g if they were taking it all day too. £600 worth in 3 days is really, really serious.

Well, he has made his bed and I ain't making it for him anymore. I still care about him, he knows more about me than anyone else in the world, but it's a toxic relationship and with that added into the mix? Time to leave him to it unfortunately.
Just in case you all think I'm cruel and callous I've asked his brother to have a word with him. He's become so arrogant though I doubt he'll listen. I've done all I can and now it's time to let him go.
