Used cocaine on a night out

[Namechabe11111]

Name change for obvious reasons. So I went out last night for the first time since having my baby and I got a bit wild and ended up having a tony bit of cocaine. Stupid and selfish I know and majorly regretted it as soon as I did it and did not have any more. This was at about 9 o’clock last night and It was the tip of a keys worth

My baby is majority bottle fed but the baby also likes to be breast fed sometimes but it’s rare.

My question is how long do I abstain from breast until it’s out of my system? I’m thinking it probably has already flushed out of my system as it was a tiny bit but I need to know for certain.

I’m not a regular cocaine user I have done in the past a years And years ago but haven’t for a long time hence the reason I had a tiny amount as I didn’t know how I would react from it.
I have also been expressing milk (not loads) today and disposing of. Probably a couple of ounce

I'd be more worried about my heart packing in and leaving my child motherless tbh. I was a bit of a good time party girl before I had children but wouldn't mess with any of that shit now. I am also more mature and have thankfully developed a conscience around drug trafficking.
Don't do it again OP

@OrangeLindt

That's ridiculous, have you ANY idea of what social care have to deal with on a day to day basis? Seriously.

A normally responsible, loving mother of a mostly bottle fed baby taking a tiny bit of cocaine on a night and then double checking when she can offer her baby a comfort suckle .... really isn't on their radar.

You would need to have an extremely serious preexisting heart condition to have even the slightest concern about your heart packing in after insufflating one small line of cocaine.

The amount of hand wringing on MN about drugs is nonsensical. One small line is pharmacologically insignificant in the long term effect on your body. I can guarantee you that human beings are nowhere near fragile enough to suffer permanent harm from this.

Calling social services is such an outrageous overreaction, I wonder how people with such ideas manage to get through their day without imploding with distress.

@TheBlueStocking so you support the drugs trade? Nice.

@puds11

Unusual conclusion to draw. But sure, if you like. My failure to overreact to this situation means that I am in favour of human rights abuses.

Not really if you see no issue with drug use and see it as ‘hand wringing’ when people have a problem with it 🤷‍♀️

Good god some of you are ridiculous. The drug trade, Social Services!! It was a key bump I don't think she needs to be worrying too much about the impact on Peruvians. Neither do I think she's heading into addiction, or heart attacks but I know how much some of you like to catastrophise. Regardless of truth.

The reason it shows up in tests after is Benzoylecgonine a metabolite.
Benzoylecgonine can be detected in urine for up to 4 days, depending on how often someone uses, their metabolism, and the dose.
Benzoylecgonine is the main cocaine metabolite used in drug testing because it has a urine concentration 50 to 100 times greater than the concentration of cocaine.

It's not hand wringing, it's shaming OP to make yourselves feel superior, that's just nasty.

@puds11 You've wailed the Drugs Trade several times now, you clearly have no other input. So thanks for taking part and off you pop.

I wouldn’t see pumping and dumping as ‘pointless’ as it keeps the supply up.

I agree about the hysteria over drug use from a health POV , but don't think she needs to be worrying too much about the impact on Peruvians ..,, I don’t know about that, but the distribution of cocaine and other drugs in this country is the root of gang violence, stabbings, shootings, young kids drawn into county lines etc etc. A little weed use can be the product of farms tended by trafficked minors from East Asia, etc etc,

@lilmishap I think taking drugs is shameful 🤷‍♀️ If you think it’s ok then that’s your standards, but mine are different.

@puds11

Thanks for letting us all know

Hurrah for @puds11 who thinks drugs are wrong! I'm so glad I'm aware of your moral standpoint on this issue and I'm sure it has been really helpful to the OP to hear what you think.

@puds11 Do you often walk into pub toilets just to share your view with the users in there?
Because you've done the online equivalent here.

Yeah it’s exactly the same isn’t it

You can buy drug tests on amazon that will tell you when it’s out of your system. Coke is the one that stays in for the longest I believe, about 3 days.

I’m not hand-wringing at all, for what it’s worth I did try it on one occasion too. But I was young (still am tbh) and I’m still childless.

When you’ve got a kid that needs his mother to look after him and feed him, it’s a different story, it really is.

Also yeah, I too have recently learned of the impact it has on people that harvest it (is harvest the word?) in developing nations and so I recognise now that its usage is far from ethical.

Also I wasn’t in a position where I might’ve needed to do anything for the next few days that would’ve required me to have some level of responsibility, either.

And in case it needed saying, of course I wouldn’t do it again.

@puds11 No cause you're hiding behind a screen, hence 'the online equivalent'.
OP didn't ask Come and tell me your views on drug use. But you did that anyway, it served no use to anyone but your own ego.

I assume you are a scientist as well @TheBlueStocking ? Alcohol and cocaine is a nasty combination. You don't need a pre existing condition (source: Professor Nutt, Drink 2019).

@Northernsoullover

I'm quite aware of the dangers of cocaethylene to the body. I'm also quite capable of making a basic risk analysis. You are vanishingly unlikely to drop dead from adding one key of cocaine, anecdotally described as a bump, which is not even, as far as we can describe one, a typical dose on top of a couple of alcoholic drinks on a night out.

Scaremongering about drugs is not only unhelpful, but it is also dangerous. It means that people can potentially have no idea of genuinely serious risks they may be taking.

Unlikely. Not impossible. Cocaine. Carried by arseholes and used by arseholes I believe.

@Northernsoullover

Don't have to take cocaine to be an arsehole though, do you?

Am I the arsehole you mean? For being anti drugs? I'll cope with that. Have a good day.
