Dude, are you a fool? Concaine, the perfect drug, riiiiight.

There are so many bad side effects, it's hard to believe you didn't come across them as you say you've been researching it. Damage to the brain, heart, nasal passage (if snorted), veins (if injected), and if you smoke it as crack, excess lung and brain damage. Cocaine induced psychosis. Paranoia. Panic attacks. Increased risk of heart attacks and heart failure. Damage to the liver. Seizures. Use can bring out a whole host of predisposed psychological illnesses. Disrupts the sleep pattern.

And all for a 15 minute high? Shit, if I'm going to be risking all that, the high better fucking last at least 12 hours, lol.

Well shit man anybody can take the most extreme possible negative reactions of any substance and list them all out to magnify its apparent dangers. The government commonly uses this same tactic against marijuana smokers and hallucinogenic/empathogenic drug users, we call it propaganda.

Marijuana causes short-term memory loss, problems with learning, difficulty in thinking and problem solving, loss of coordination, paranoia and anxiety that could trigger panic attacks. One study even says that your risk of a heart attack quadruples after smoking marijuana. Not to mention the prevalence of lung infections among marijuana smokers.

That was fun. Let's do Caffeine (Taken from the Wikipedia): muscle twitching, rambling flow of thought and speech, cardiac arrhythmia or tachycardia, and psychomotor agitation, restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, diuresis, gastrointestinal complaints, frequent use can lead to tolerance and withdrawals.

Alcohol: neurotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, hepatoxicity, cirrhosis, nausea and vomiting, hypothermia, hyperthermia, respiratory failure, coma, asphyxiation, cancer, dehydration, ataxia, Wernicke encephalopathy.

Yes, there are risks to all drugs. I put as few drugs in my body as possible. I don't drink caffeine, even. I smoke pot maybe twice a month now. I don't take painkillers or anti-biotics unless truly needed. I don't drink excessively, I may have one mixed drink like a brown cow or eggnog and rum every once in a while. Drugs are bad for you, but it is also well known that certain drugs pose higher risks than others. If you dispute that, then you lose all credibility in my eyes.

All drugs certainly pose risks, some drugs may be 'riskier' than others but when it comes down to it the consequences resulting from the use of that drug depend greatly on personal experience. How you use the drug, how much and how often are major factors in the consequences of drug use.
It should be obvious to everybody that cocaine is addictive, almost as addictive as nicotine! My point in a previous thread was that the route of administration of substances such as cocaine also factors into the consequences resulting from its use. In this sense it is certainly not perfect, but we as users can perfect our patterns of use to minimize the consequences. Sounds to me like you're capable of doing it and other people are too.

I did a lot of cocaine and smoked a decent amount of cigarettes and neither were even remotely addictive to me. Maybe I'm made to do drugs

[Esoteric416]

Expensive, addictive, paranoid, short high, odds of an OD are good, bad batch of coke will kill you. Serious drug dealers. Presuming you enjoy the high, how many times a day would you do it? and if your doing it on the daily....your over your head. Stick to natural stuff.

I'm not really into yayo, but that's not why I'm posting this.
MB your avatar is the shit! I love Don Hertzfeltd! :thumbsup:

[Its a Plant]

dont even mess with it if you know whats good for you. I had many friends get hooked on this shit, and its not cool. smoke weed man, coke gives you a 24X better chance to have a heart attack each time you do it.

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

the plant from which it comes, minus all added chemicals.

what is the high, what are the risks?

i am a naturalist all the way, i will do any drug that is not man made, and not immediately and potentially dangerous.
