It's white, powdery, addictive and bad. You better not be doing it.

Apparently all the best writers have done it. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, though.
(It did shock me to find that 4 out of my favourite 5 contemporary authors are there. Not shock-shock, but I had never thought about that particular thing.)

It's a very strong stimulant.
A lot of people who abuse it have undiagnosed ADD and are using it to self-medicate. Strong stimulants, e.g. Ritalin and Adderall (aka amphetamine/dexedrine) are the traditional treatment for ADD.
Before I was diagnosed, I never did cocaine but I used to drink caffeinated iced tea as if it were water.
If you know someone who is addicted to cocaine, try to get them to a psychiatrist.

Placed on your gums it works like novacaine.
(Hmm, cocaine- novacaine...)
My only experience with it have been 'freezers' (on the gums) and 'snowcaps' (On top of pot in a pipe.)
Snort enough of it over a period of time and it causes uncontrollable nosebleeds.
I know it's addictive as hell, not to mention expensive. I've seen people go crazy after snorting it, swatting at non-existent bugs or in a world of paranoia thinking the cops are coming to get them.

You that scene in Uncle Buck whene John CANDY is drunk, driving, and telling his drunk companion all the things your not supposed to do, like go to church on Sunday and such, saying, after each, "Well I don't buy it anymore!" and the drunk is agreeing with each, and then John Goodman turns onto a railroad track and starts driving down it, and the next item on his litany is, "Like not drive on railroad tracks," and the drunk sobers up a bit and says, "Wait a minute - I buy that one!"
Drugs are bad, M'Kay?: I don't buy it anymore.
Cocaine is bad.: Wait a minute - I buy that one!
It seems you have to do it a few times for it to find the "key" to your pleasure center, but once it does, it goes right to that center, right to that button in your cerebral cortex labeled "pleasure," and presses it, presses it, presses it, for about 15-20 minutues. After that all you can think about is getting another line. That's all you can think about for the rest of the night, and the next day as soon as the thought enters your head you start planning your life around doing it again. If one person has it at a party the entire social dynamic changes, with people trying to inveigle a line, and the holder trying to be exclusive because it's expensive, and everything turns ugly.
I've, ahem, "done research on" pretty much everything you can do without sticking a needle in your arm. Pot is bad because it makes doing nothing pleasurable, which is fine for old people in nursing homes, but definitely not for young people. Beyond that it won't destroy you. I think LSD can have positive benefits if used cautiously. The other recreational drugs all seem to have self-limiting effects. (I haven't "researched" this new meth, but years ago I "looked into" pharmaceutical speed in pills, determined that it is enjoyable, and can see where people could get into trouble with it, but not in the same way as with cocaine.)
Bottom line: I think cocaine is an evil drug. "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by - cocaine." Actually, not - the best minds avoided that. But I saw a lot of people hurt their lives badly.

Definitely a coincidence - it is not generative of creative output. Confused drivel, yes. And I mean that in a literal sense, not in any "literary criticism" sense.Lauren Hynde said:

It has destroyed whole countries
and societies where the stuff is grown. Anyone who thinks that cocaine is "harmless" should look at the situation in South America. If there's a hell on earth some of those places come close. Now we are starting to see users as well as growers and if there's one thing we can't afford is fried brains.
I don't recomend many movies, but "Maria, Full of Grace" shows the side of the drug "trade" that most would like to ignor.
Sorry, start of a long rant, but when you look at drug use don't forget the hell it creates. Many of the problems in Afgan society are also caused by drugs. It's the only good thing the Taliban did.

If you try cocaine, it will make you into a new man or woman. The first thing that the new man or woman wants is MORE COCAINE!

It's also a new energy drink, believe it or not... A marketing ploy for this new energy drink was to name it Cocaine to spark a controversy and get people to try it just because it's being talked about.

I assume this is for a story? I don't have any direct experience, but I do have indirect. A friend of mine was into cocaine some fifteen years ago.arienette said:
He had a roommate who told me what the stuff looked like. It's portrayed in movies as very powdery, but apparently, its a bit more grandular, as if you ground up flour and rock salt. As the roommate put it, there's a little bit of "crystal" in it, enough to tell you that you shouldn't be putting it up your nose.
But then, shooting it via a solution into one's vein, as Sherlock Holmes did, is so 19th century!
This, by the way, is one of the many problems with illegal drugs. If it's illegal (as alcohol once was in the U.S.) then there's no regulation. Anything can be put into it and sold. For example, during prohibition, anything could be sold to anyone as liquor and in many cases what was sold killed people. The same is true with cocaine. NOT mind you, that the drug isn't bad enough on it's own. It is. Brutally addictive shit. But it can be cut and mixed with any number of things so that the dealer gets the most for their money. So the person snorting it up their noses is not only absorbing a dangerous drug, but anything mixed in with it.
The friend of mine ended up having an incident where he ran about the backyard, naked and screaming. And yes, he almost died. He ended up in the hospital, and, thereafter in AA. He's been sober now for 14 years and is still very active in that organization, helping others to get and stay sober.

Oh, definitely. I mean, I can't vouch for Burroughs (who can?Roxanne Appleby said:
) but as far as the other three authors on my list - Ellis, Ballard, Welsh - are concerned, I think it's safe to assume that they may have written some brilliant stuff with the times they were on cocaine in mind, but were certainly not on cocaine at the time of the actual writing.

If you wanna hang out, you've got to take her out: cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground: cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie: cocaine.

Original:
Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if
I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically, too
Yet, I get a kick out of you
Altered version:
Some like the bop-type refrain
I'm sure that if
I heard even one riff
It would bore me terrifically, too
Yet, I get a kick out of you
Jamie Cullum version:
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get their kicks from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
That I get a kick out of you

Pharmaceutical speed (aka amphetimine aka aderall) also has the advantage of being legal. I have taken it on a regular basis and it helps my ADD symptoms a lot.Roxanne Appleby said:
I've never tried any of the illegal stuff.
The nice thing, as has been mentioned elsewhere, is that with Aderall you know what you are getting. You know it isn't mixed with some other kind of stuff to get you hooked.
