Have you ever used Cocaine?

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

I'm 15, and pretty much all my friends drink regularly, they'll go to parties and get hammered, and a few of them smoke weed. I don't need drugs or alcohol. I don't want them. I've seen what they can do, and it doesn't appeal to me. I'm not trying to take the moral high-ground or anything - if you enjoy that type of thing, then you go crazy, but I'll get my highs off other stuff instead. I like being able to think straight and be 100% aware of what is going on around me. Sure, you may be absolutely pissed or high and having the best time of your life, but when you wake up in A&E after having overdosed, or broken your back by doing something fucking stupid, then you'll most likely be having the worst time of your life.
But yeah, if you want to take that risk then be my guest, I'm not going to judge you, but I don't think, and never have thought, that it is worth it.

This.

Funnily enough, I'm in the same position as you are; a lot of people in my school actively drink, smoke and some even smoke cannabis on a regular basis(none of my close friends, as they have fairly similar points of view to my own). The way I see it; you do what you want to do, and I'll do whatever I want to do, I will never allow another person to force one of their "habits" on me, as I don't require alcohol or drugs to have a good time.

Also, I have seen drug abuse in action and the consequences it brings, as a result, if hard drugs like cocaine would become legalised, then the drug cartels will become either companies supplying the products or rooted into the governments/whoever deals with supplying and distribution of said durgs, as they would be unlikely to give up the monopoly they've established worldwide so easily.

I want to brew some good old Coca leaf tea
I would try cocaine, just like i tried alcohol, but i sure will not use it chronically, it is just too dangerous as far as i know

All the yellow ones and similar substances should be legal to purchase in the manner which 40% alcohol is now in most places.
It is simply unfair that alcohol has a near monopoly on the legal drug market.

Observe alcohol here:

like most of these facts say booze is the most intoxicating then stick to booze. also booze is more social you go to a bar with some mates, have a good time, feel shit the next day and repeat next friday.

illegal drugs on the other hand (because of thier legallity) tend to be more underground like hanging around in your friendly neighbourhood junkie's flat.

your call: go to a bar and get drunk, or sit in a council flat shooting up?

I used to get paid to take cocaine. It was part of a medical study involving money, cocaine, and alcohol. I think the researchers were trying to test the effect of alcohol consumption on demand for cocaine. Anyway, the pharmaceutically pure coke was nice enough, but the high from a snort didn't last long.

Got spiked with freebase once, f*cking horrible experience.

I'm glad that cocaine and heroin are illegal. I've never touched either and never will. Those two in particular, as well as their derivatives can (and have) ruined lives through addiction, cost and death.

On the flip side, I have no issue with marijuana or MDMA. While I'm sure there are lives greatly affected by these as well, they aren't really killers or dangerously addictive. I'm for legalising marijuana in fact, to remove the shadiness and unreliability from the "business" as well as regulate and tax it. I honestly consider alcohol to be worse for a person and those around them than either of these two.

Did you not say you only quit cigarettes only about a week or 2 ago?

I forgot all about them actually. For some reason I don't really count them as a drug (even though they obviously are).

I haven't even quit completely yet, I'm still puffing 3 a day. That's still much less than the 15-19 a day I was smoking before and I'm looking into just going cold turkey.

Congratulations on cutting down so much. But yeah they are a drug, I think it's important to remember that.

Never tried any drugs, cept the ones the doctors give me. Sadly, my family has a history of mental instability. I think taking drugs would be too much like tempting fate.

I'd rather just stay in and play games.

This is a genuine worry. Family history plays a huge role in whether drugs will accelerate mental instability. You have to be predisposed most of the time.

I've never done it but it's at parties...more than I'd like it to be and there've been times my friends took a blast but it's not for me.
I think it should be legal because a lot of times people die because it was cut with something bad and if it was legal that wouldn't happened since it'd be regulated and not sold by your neighborhood dealer who's to dumb to even google what will kill mixed with cocaine so accidentally puts the wrong thing and kills a bunch of addicts.
Plus when people od they'd be more willing to go to the hospital if there wouldn't be legal action against them.

Cocaine is just something I've never desired.
It's similar to meth WHICH I HATE just not as hard.
It's extremely expensive and I'm poor.
I'm already super skinny i don't need to be skinnier.
Not for me.
