Has this shit become 100 times more popular with teens where you all live too?



It is really sad, i knew grade 8s who had to go to rehab, kids who moved to the street. And it is just heartbreaking.


Oh yeah the new thing now is GHB with ecs


and trail mix(for those who don''t know, that is Ecstacy, ground with coke, and GHB)

yea usually all these drugs would be considered extremely harmful to growing minds....

oh wait, it still is.

Just because the drug is popular does not mean that it won't hurt you or it isn't ver y harmful. Inhaling spray became popular but inhaling just one time can kill you.

The thing about coke is it is a "status" drug. This means that the biggest population that's doing it is the rich white kids. Coke is so popular with stars and rich families and that shit.

coke can be great if yer smart about it. but it will change people if they are number about it. it will just get to the point where its all you think about. the best way to do it is to try not to get a good connection. cus then it wont be as tempting to do cus its not easy to get.

heroin is actually not bad for yer body if you take the right dose. its just so physically addicting it can fuck you up that way. withdawl without other drugs is terrible. i guess theres some new drug that it only takes 24 hours to get off it.

alot more people than you think have at least tried it. i tried it in gr 11 and said i wouldnt do it more than every 6 months. that turned to every month, then every 2 weeks, then everyday. I'm not addicted, but the problem is that you start choosing coke over friends, school, etc. I've lost relationships with girls and close friends over this shit, which still did't make me stop doing it. I can see how you can get hooked on it after you've dug yourself a hole in life you can't get out of. Although though the past year or so, I've learned alot about myself.I've been to the lowest points in my life with it, which really makes me appreciate what i have and what i can lose. If you try it, just realize its something that will lose its charm over time.

that does suck that yer friend passed away from doing cocaine but its not something that i would consider to be childish as yer implying by sayin people have to grow up. if yer smart about its not bad. but yer friend shouldnt have done it if he didnt know what he was doing. you have to know yer limits. you have to know the point that you have to go to the hospital and get yer stomach pumped ya know. if people are smart about drugs they are great but you can also fuck up really easily.

I'm more concerned about the more frequent use of E by kids these days compared to coke. I've done ecstacy quite a few times and after each time i feel like I've permanently fucked my body up more and more.

coke sucks. i havent slept the last three nights becuase of it.

but that shit is disney compared to crank. ive seen so many people get their lives fucked up on that shit. last month my friend got her house raided by the pigs and they found a half pound of meth, along with a bunch of shitpipes and a gun. she got bailed out of jail, and she skipped town. i saw her for the first time last night since she got busted. we were at my friends house, and she is now the most insanely skinny person ive ever seen. i made her eat some crackers, but she just threw them up. she left like 10 mins later to go tweak some more. its very sad.

cokes not even a big deal, People have talked this drug up forever and it was all hype. I mean it's pretty fun if you've been drinking because it instantly sobers you up. I find it's only addicting when you are doing it. I have no problem doing it for a day or two and not touching it for the rest of the year, I've gotten good coke and it's still not even all that good. There are far better drugs out there.

You are "they", eh? Fucker. I hope you're satisfied with your disgusting life and that one day I see you get arrested on TV as a 40 year old bag of shit that can barely walk and breathe.

You think you can handle it? My boss is 29 years old and has been a cocaine addict for a long time. Wait till you reach that point, only a few years to go... and then you'll see if you can still handle it.

So your life is so pathetic that you need cocaine to liven it up? Alright. Then you sell that shit to kids who don't know anything about it, think you're cool, don't feel an ounce of guilt, and rip them off while you're at it? Bravo, you are truly an inspiring individual. People like you make me sick.

Uhhh, you are totally wrong on this one.

Cocaine is an antagonist to dopamine, serotonin and norepinepherine which are mood enhancing neurotransmitters. This means that it binds to the receptor sites that would normally be bound to by these neurotransmitters and blocks the reuptake of them. This causes a build up of these neurotransmitters and thus a rush of euphoria. The brain then adapts to these higher levels by decreasing it's production of dopamine, serotonin and NE. So when the user tries to stop, their brain isn't producing enough of the neurotransmitters and they, therefore become depressed and crave more cocaine in order to be happy. This is clearly addiction.

My information is from Psychology 7th edition by D. Meyers, you can also check out the following link if you don't believe me. http://cocaine.org/glutamate/addiction.html

That is psychological addiction. Physical Addiction is when your body will stop functioning properly without it.


The withdrawl from cocaine use will not cause your body to go into shutdown, that is from the lack of other nutrients.


Mental withdrawl and physical withrawl are different things, no matter what an ONLINE psych site says. Take it from someone who has had MANY psychological Problems, and been on both mentally and physically addcitive drugs, as well as many of my close friends being ex coke users, and being personally familiar with an ex heroin user. Cocaine is pysically addcitive.

You may be right here. like I said in another post my knowledge of cocaine is limited. However, I don't think I'm going to trust someone with "psychological problems" and past addictions. The fact is, cocaine is a terrible drug that is addictive, whether physical or psychological; it makes no difference to me.

So further research led me to the following:
"Drug addiction has two components: physical dependency, and psychological dependency. Physical dependency occurs when a drug has been used habitually and the body has become accustomed to its effects. The person must then continue to use the drug in order to feel normal, or its absence will trigger the symptoms of withdrawal."

When I described the brain's adaptation to increase neurotransmitter levels I was describing physical dependancy.

Also:
"Psychological dependency occurs when a drug has been used habitually and the mind has become emotionally reliant of its effects, either to elicit pleasure or relieve pain, and does not feel capable of functioning without it. Its absence produces intense cravings, which are often brought on or magnified by stress. A dependent person may have either aspects of dependency, but often has both."

I also described phsychological dependancy. In conclusion, cocaine elicits both aspects of dependancy and therefore, you are wrong in saying that there is NO physical dependancy.

The internet is not a reliable source for information, and is not accepted in any post high school forms of academia


Physical addiction is when the body will not funtion without it. Lack of pleasure producing enzymes does not mean your body is not fucntioning to necessitiy.

Ok, be all smart and scientific, you have engaged in war buddy.

A person with self-proclaimed "psychological problems" is MUCH MUCH less respected in the eyes of scientists than the internet. I will take nothing you say as fact unless you provide a scientific journal article supporting your claim and is properly referenced.

Secondly, I'm not talking about enzymes, I'm talking about neurotransmitters. If you think you can come off being intelligent and have people respect what you say by using words like enzymes and academia, you are mistaken. I will stand by what I have previously posted and I will get a journal article that supports waht I have said. If I cannot, I will return and appologize.

You are a moron.

Physical addictions alter a person's brain chemistry in ways that make it difficult to be exposed to the addictive substance again without relapsing.
