How the hell can that article fail to mention that Coke originally had cocaine?

Drug War Over...Drugs Win!!!

dudemanbro: Good idea. I'm tired of coffee anyway and cocaine is much more fun and interesting, and makes me want to be really social and I come up with lots of good ideas and everyone loves me and I love everyone and everything is great! Plus I can drink lots and lots of booze and don't even feel it, so I can drive fine no matter how much I've had, so we can stay up all night listening to that great old disco music from the 70's and drinking and then go to breakfast at Denny's in the morning and laugh our asses off because there are cops in the next booth and they have NO IDEA how jacked we are on COCAINE and we've been drinking all night and no one can tell, and it's just the funniest, most fun thing EVER!

I'm out of breath just reading that.

Is this legit? I looked on Amazon, they can ship from the US to the US (in time for Christmas, even!) Dunno if they are shipping the depleted leaves or the "real thing." Looks like it's priced at 33 cents a bag.

When I was down that far south I used to chew coca leaves. I stopped drinking caffeine and smoking.

I'm curious, did the cocoa leaves relieve you of the nicotine cravings, or did you just substitute two stimulants for one?

I'm a bad test case for this I'm afraid. I've never gone through a withdrawal from nicotine, and I've stopped smoking for years at a time on more then one occasion. I just have friends that smoke and it's a habit that starts up. Smoking helped me creatively and caffeine woke me up; coca did both, just in slightly different ways. I wouldn't imagine if you'd go through withdrawal that the leaves would help you much. I guess it would in a way, like how food or extra caffeine can help with you quit smoking I guess, but then again what the hell do I know.

But it was a substitute I'd gladly do again.

GOOD MORNING.

When my 75 year old father went to Peru, he was introduced to the tea. He was told it would help him adjust to the high altitude. He said he wasn't really sure if it helped. but it had one hell of a kick.

Oh FFS. Coca tea is not the same as cocaine. I've had plenty of it, and per cup I'd say it has less of a stimulant effect than caffeine. Cocaine is a refined extract, these are the raw source, yes, but mate' de coca is not farking cocaine.

"Charlie: We've got a bucket of nose clams, fresh from the sea. Sweet delicious nose clams that are looking for a home if you follow me.

Guy: No, I don't follow you. I don't know what the hell you're talking about...

Charlie: These are the kind of nose clams that make you want to dance the night away.

Guy: I don't get what the hell you're talking about...

Charlie: All right, these are the kind of nose clams that you crush up into a line of white powder, and you snort them up through your nose, and they make you high. You use a dollar bill or a straw to do it, they come from Colombia, they're illegal, and they rhyme with propane.

Guy: So you want to sell me cocaine, why didn't you just come out and say it?"

/calls cocaine Nose Clams now.

I did the opposite. It has worked out well.

Coffee, the gateway drug?

Bolivian marching powder is my personal fave. Also, nothing will bring a person out of a black out drunk faster than a big fat rail o' blow. Well it does me anyway.

Look, I joke about "Just hook it up to my veins," but this is taking it a biiiiiiit far for me...

/I'm just sayin.
//Oh, and the boobies picture? I. Farkin'. LOLed.

Do?...
We're drinkin' tea.
That's what we're gonna do.

Cocaine isn't a bad drug, it can just be overused like any other thing you can buy at Walgreens. Ever had Adderall? Same exact feeling, but legal.

No way. Both will fark you up but it isnt the same feeling.

When I was in HS, an Argentinian friend had lots of mate in her pantry. We tricked this other dude, a naive Indian sap, to believe that it would make him high if he drank a lot. It worked.

In retrospect, kind of a cruel prank.

I've done this.
Needed to read half the semester's material for a Soc final and had just have/still had food poisoning and couldn't drink coffee or tea. Got an A in the final, it was totally worth it.

I was on Adderall in college. Halo mode on legendary with buddies for 6 hours at a time, focused like lasers. I've never been an idiot and done meth but I have buddies that have done both and describe Adderall as "meth, with none of the bad stuff".

I'm pretty sure that pure caffeine would have a lot of the same societal problems if it were both banned and commonly available.

In the end the war on cocaine would have to stop at "illegal to refine" but the natural source would be fine.

Adderall got me through 8 hours of studying for one of the most boring classes I've ever taken. I've never been able to focus like that, ever.

Ephedrine. Great stuff.

Also say what you will about cocaine, but it got shiat done.

Benzedrex inhaler. Crack it open, take the medicine soaked cotton stick out, throw it in a new bottle of Dr. Pepper/Coke. Let it soak into the soda in the fridge for about an hour, fish the cotton out, chug soda. It *WILL* be the worse tasting thing in the history of the Earth, but you will be jacked for 2 days.

Trust me on the taste, I've seen quite a few people yak on the first sip.

As someone who's done all the uppers but had a particular fondness for snorting, smoking and ingesting crystal methamphetamine, I'd say the prescription meds, even crushed and snorted, are closer to go a good caffeine rush. You tweak a little, maybe get a little euphoric but it's over far too quickly. Meth hits your whole body like a truck, installs feelings of energy, euphoria and invincibility and leaves them there for the next 8 hours.

Don't know how you did it. Even after 6 hours of console games like that my hands were ragged, pain ridden claws.

Oh, for sure but not until after you come down and crash. While your high pain is just another sensation to be studied or ignored but certainly not felt in the way it's meant too.

coffee the gateway drug

I just bought some cocaine on etsy. Let's see how this goes. . ..

unicron702: Don't know how you did it. Even after 6 hours of console games like that my hands were ragged, pain ridden claws.

I did a lot of ecstasy and copious amounts of assorted tryptamines. AMT made for a very focused 10-hour adventure, assuming you didn't double-down at the 8-hr mark. Most Dance Dance Revolution I could do was maybe 5-hrs of it, and considering I was already at maybe 15-hrs a week (yes, seriously) it wasn't all that long.

It just comes down to a pain threshold.
