When you are a joke character you have to pick one persona and stick with it. Your advice is sort of nullified by the record you've created.

Ad hominem attacks are uncool.

However,

Sweet. So does a Hamburger. Worry about yourself.

qft, this thread isn't "Help me get off crack!" At least, that's not what it was intended to be.

I prefer Dr. pepper... but coke is okay.

 

[valparaiso]

let the man be, for god's sake

to the op: indeed, it seems that you're the only one who's come to consider coke a priority, and that's pretty ****ed up. you could try and talk to your frinds about this, but seeing as you seem to be growing too attached to the thing my advice is to try to quit - or at least do it only socially or on special occasions.

 

[Shaneus]

I'm not going to give you the lecture about your habits... you've copped enough of that already, and it's not what this thread is about.

What I'd do? Tell your mates while you're all straight (if that ever occurs ) about the issue you have. If they're cool, they'll put in more often (or at least explain why they've been leeching) and if not, then they wont want to party with you. And if they don't want to party with you, then I'm sure you'll find some people who party even harder who you can hang around. Like me! And this doesn't apply just to this situation, same goes if you have a habit of buying round all the time or something like that. It's common sense.

You're not in Australia, are you?

OK. I've been doing coke for years. Every night, it leaves me feeling like there was a record-high pollen count the previous night (I already have bad allergies), but it has always been worth it.

Now, I'm not sure. OK, morning showers typically are made up of me blowing my nose and coming up with bloody palms. I've become accustomed to that. But recently, I haven't even enjoyed the weekends.

Sometimes I buy the coke, sometimes I don't. I always contribute my stuff on the weed and alcohol pot, just like everybody else that's a regular, but the coke is something that is there or it isn't. Meaning, if one guy doesn't have it, nobody does. Meaning more specifically, at least lately, if I don't have it, nobody does.

Personally, I find coke to be a very subjective drug. I know a lot of people say it's the greatest thing ever regardless of the situation, but I find that, in practice, what you get out of coke depends greatly on the state of mind you're in when you do it. When you're feeling used, doing coke is more of a detriment than being sober.

But I can't help but feel that all of this might be subjective. I can't sleep. I'm in agony, and I'm dead tired, but I can't possibly sleep with all of these mixed emotions in my head.

Is there a way to view it from the standpoint that I'm not being used? These guys are all good friends, but they haven't chipped in on the coke in half a year. However, they do chip in on everything else.

Am I perhaps being paranoid, and just neglecting that coke may be the lowest priority for everyone but me?

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Coke ISN'T bad, in moderation.

I know some people that can't stop doing coke, as long as they have it and it's thiers to use. They'll keep using it until it's gone, even if it means they're awake for a couple days straight. THAT'S bad.

I know some people that MUST have it every time I see them (granted, these people aren't among my core group of friends... but, admittedly, after reading this thread, I realise my own friends might see me in this way). THAT'S bad.

Doing coke casually? It's a pure, natural drug. As long as you don't get addicted to it, I don't see the problem.

by the way, if youd see how they make coccaine, its pretty disgusting. Yea It originally comes from natural substance, but the process that it goes through to the form you use it...is very unnatural.

they also soak it in a shit ton of gasoline.

if I could find the video of the people making coccaine, I will link it, or maybe someone else can.

coke is bad, shut your pie hole. stop doing it. And I am not unexperienced, I've done alot of drugs my life, including coke, and I stopped and cut it all out, for many reasons. you should have realized some yourself that you might not wanna admit.

 

[SolKane]

hey, i got something to contribute.

thje other night i rolled (ecstacy) with a few friends, but apparently since theres was little/no meth in it i didnt blow up, like your typical raver/house scenescter. so instead it was just relaly chill, an d it was basically a high similar to addy; i got really talkative inside and was very revealing, but then oddly introspective at times. all in all it was pretty dull. anyway i eneded up having a little beer *natty light, it was like some fat dumpy guy's sulphurous piss* which got me really drunk despite its near negligble alcohol content. then i got a little barred out (xanax), taking one and snorting the other. anywho, i felt pretty good til the late afternoon when i felt ****ing miserable. got back to my house, where i started feeling pretty good and really talkative again, basically i felt like i was again mimicing an addy high. i had some good conversations with people i didnt really care about or like, it was good times. that night i went to a friends house for a little alcoohl fueled reunion, and after around 4-5 beers i felt the ebst i have ever felt in my entire life. it was the kind of buzz you get from getting really drunk where you're very sociable and amenable to talking to anoyne, it felt i finally blew up. i twas sooooooo fuacking good, i was in love with everything, from the dullest of my friends to the most mundane and sterile objects, like the couch and silverware. following that however was like the wrost time of my life. i spent about an hour in the bathroom trying my best to empty my stomachs contents into the toilet. unfortunately since i didnt really have enough to drink it didnt happne, but i felt ****ing god awful, like how an abortion must feel. i really wanted to pass out at lesat, just being in my own vomit woulkd have been a plus anywayu i had a friend take me home and i passed out in my room, and now i've woken up feeling slightly hungover and still a wee bit trashed.

that was my party, sorry for shitty formatting and spelling


edited for some clarificiation

 

[Jacobi]

I used to love Cherry Coke, but I boycott the Coca-Cola Company out of political reasons and it tastes too sweat anyways. Pepsi's also much too sweet, Afri Cola for the Win, the problem is : I seem to react very sensitively on caffeine, I guess that's a side effect of the medication I get. So even if I drink just 0,5 Liter Pepsi --> No sleep. That's a big problem...

It's pretty disgusting to see how they make hotdogs, too.

I'm assuming that's the video you're thinking of. The gasoline and other nasty stuff is not in cocaine..it's just used to seperate things.

 

[bogg]

I kinda know how you feel man, and these thoughts especially in a drug filled head (don't take this as an offence, I'm a drugie myself) can be pretty ****ed up and annoying.
How about telling your friends that you don't have much money, and ask them if they all want to chip in and get a shit load of coke?
Oh, and I don't know much about coke (I'm more into psycho-active drugs), but when your nose start bleeding that's pretty bad no?
Anyway dude I hope everything works out for the best.

edit: man wtf is up with all the trolling?!

wow your cool. I party all the time and I don't need coke. Have fun with that in the upcoming years.

 

[APF]

The fuck? People are seriously comparing the health consequences of eating hamburgers to doing coke? You folks are fucking delusional. I'm not going to be all, "do as I say not as I do (did)," but at least get some rational perspective on your self-righteous justifications for doing serious shit.

 

[Nick]

[dskillzhtown]

There've been a few really great people that have been coke heads.

You are right, and they are all dead.

Bascially you are a junkie who is supplying everyone else so that you don't feel like you are alone. You will never stop paying for everyone else as you would have to look in the mirror and realize you are an addict and you can't stop. Seems that evetyone else can take it or leave it, but you HAVE to have it.

As far as health, you know your nose isn't supposed to be bleeding every morning, right? You know that isn't exactly healthy, right? But you are in denial so nothing that anyone says here are in real life is going to make a dent of difference.

Hopefully you wake up before you are dead.

That's more analysis then can be made from the information we have.



As for the original problem. You're sick of paying for your friends to do coke so stop bringing the stuff. If you really need to do coke then do it alone. It will not be that fun so maybe take the shrill, hyper-judgmental advice of the forum and stop partying with coke for a bit. You've got a valid point that you shouldn't be the only one paying for the fun and you also seem to understand that the product in question being a drug exacerbates the everyday problem. The solution for this problem applies for all products, stop bringing the goods and let someone else deal with it.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

(Assuming this isn't just a bullshit thread)
I've never done the stuff myself (so you can probably take this with a grain of salt), but anybody I know who really gets into it tend to deny how much they rely on it to have a good time. There is a chance that you've passed a point with coke that your friends don't want to pass. Try and cut off it for a few weeks, if your friends are truly freeloading off you they will end up buying their own, if they don't then it may be a case of you being a little too far into the drug than they would like to be.

Self-absorbed garbage

The ironic thing about jackholes who say, "I don't judge people" are that they're among the most self-righteous and judgmental hypocrites on the planet, despite their desire to be seen as live-and-let-live. You're just transferring the impulse in another direction, Nick; if you didn't care about others' choices and opinions you wouldn't be making ridiculous comparisons and getting in people's faces.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

I've never done coke, but I'm looking for a drug that can keep me going through the day, so that being all fake and nice and polite to people won't feel so disgusting

I had one point to get across in this thread -- as you said, "live-and-let-live", and if you start the finger pointing, try to do it in front of a mirror.

I don't advocate drug use. I don't use drugs, and I don't particularly want to try any in the near future. I do, however, find it funny that people think they're doing some made up "good deed" by posting in this thread and saying, "coke is bad!" or, "you're a coke addict!" Come on. The guy said he's having a problem with his bros paying for their share. It made no reference to his "addiction" on said substance, and it made no indication for a pity plea anywhere as well. But of course, the GAF Anti-Drug Coalition Force had to step in and get their two cents in. I expected that, but I don't have to agree with it.

Edit: Furthermore, I do admit to "judging the judger's", but I'm not the one accusing some random guy (Virgin Wii) of having a problem.

 

[infinityjinx]

hm. i think i know whats going on here..

you need/enjoy/desire coke more than your friends, which is why they never go out of their way to obtain it but you do. doesnt sound like you have a full out problem, considering you're willing to share and dont really do it alone... but you're probably a bit more addicted than u think u are.

my advice is to take a break from the coke, whether you're buying or someone else is. distance yourself from partying and take up a hobby... your nose will thank u and u wont be paranoid about ur friends and stuff. then if u do go back (i think certain people do have the ability to use drugs responsibly), save it for special occasions, n no binging =P

your friends dont ever offer money because you've probably never asked for it, and they know that in all likelihood, *you'll have it because u want to do it and you'll share because u dont want to do it alone.* they arent necessarily asshole friends, they probably just dont think about it too much.

 

[Virgin Wii]

Just to clarify, blood doesn't drip out of my nose in the morning. My sinuses get clogged, and when I clear them in the shower my mucus is bloody. If I was actually bleeding, that would be a problem, but that isn't the case.

Thanks to everyone who was helpful. I got some good advise, and I think I'm going to try what bogg suggested.

So by your logic, if someone made a thread asking what is the best type of gun to use for Russian Roullette, rather than calling said theoretical poster out on his idiocy, we should simply stick to the question at hand and make sure he has a nice model with an easy trigger and good performance rate.

Are you sure your philosophy isn't better described as "live and let die"?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Dude, I don't want to be preachy, but in my line of work I see a lot of people on a lot of things, and if you're shooting out bloody snotrockets every morning, you need to cut back a bit in the same way that a guy who eats triple whoppers needs to cut back if he's feeling chest pains.

That aside, if your friends aren't going to chip in, just don't bother buying it for a while. If it's something they really like, and not just for free, they'll crack sooner or later. Then the negotiations begin.

That wouldn't work since I doubt he is willing to go without the coke. Quit man, just quit.

 

[ten5ive9ine]

Wow, this thread is full of idiots. The coca-cola joke wasn't funny the first time. Isn't funny now. And he is asking abou what to do with his friends, not his cokehabit.

OP: I've never done coke. Would if I was offered though, but no desire to go about getting it on my own.
You're friends are freeloading. But they don't know that there is anything wrong with that seeing as you haven't said anything, so you can't really blame them. Tell them to pitch in or stop bringing it to the party. Seeing as even if you do bring it you'll just feel used and not enjoy it anyway.

Otherwise that's all the advice I have.
