So I did coke for the first time..

Consider this, while marijuana is smoked as is in natural concentrations, cocaine is refined to a 300 to one ratio. So it took three hundred pounds of leaves to make one pound of powder. That's why it's bad for you.

Maybe you are selling yourself short and denying something..

if not, good work I guess, and dont loose your *weakening* grip on life.

I do it for the same reasons smoke weed everyday. I like the high. Simple as that.

Howabout this happening, "that weed you just smoked is cocoa puffs". "What's that?" "That's weed with coke in it" "Oh shit" And your heart is beating really fast.

While it really depends on the crop, most sources will tell you it takes 100 kg of coca leaf to produce 1 kg of cocaine. That is 220 pounds of coca leaf to 2.2 pounds of cocaine, in other words a 100:1 ratio.
Also, cartels may be using modified coca plants that are larger and produce more cocaine.
Here can be seen a parallel between marijuana and cocaine; some marijuana plants contain as little as 1% THC while other plants have been modified to grow up to 30% THC. You can also refine marijuana into the more potent hash through a number of methods that arn't very difficult.

This is not to say that cocaine and marijuana are equals, just that you gave an exaggerated and still poor example of why people shouldn't do cocaine.

Well howabout this cocaine will scar your heart muscle, and weaken it. Weed is such an incredible drug because it's completely safe, but very effective in getting you high. And besides, don't they refine coca leaves in gasoline? That can't be too good.

i love weed and think coke is a very dangerous drug if abused, but marijuana is certainly not compleatly safe

Well, technically, marijuana is completely safe. Just about everything is potentially dangerous in some way, like water, salt, pillows, food, etc.

do what you can safely, while you are young bros and ladies, cause as you get older, the shit gets real serious and you'll have no time or space in your life for that!!!

I am not a disrespectful person but c'mon man, are you serious, its not coke but its also not spring water, lets get real a bit

To hell with cocain, man . . . I lost my home because of it! (I now rent, and stay away from it) It's fairly easy to get addicted, too. It's a process, though. It starts all good, but after a while, (A couple years for me) you can't seem to get enough. That has been my experience, but don't listen to me. . .By all means, find out for yourself! ;)
