Cocaine "is no worse than whiskey" and is only illegal because it comes from Latin America, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whose nation is the world's biggest cocaine producer and exporter.
Back in my adventurous days, I tried lots of stuff, and I also found coke to be no big deal. It just didn’t do it for me. Neither did alcohol. Weed was my drug of choice, probably because I was a creative type, and weed inspired creativity more than any other substance.
Everybody wants something different from their drug of choice.
Weed has never once made me feel creative. Slight euphoria, sluggishness, loss of short-term memory, and if I get too high intensely and uncomfortably aware of sensory input so I have to go lay down in the dark and try not to think about the weight of my skin. I don’t get any of the fun brain stuff people talk about.
Not op. Coke gave me a loooot of energy, tooo much energy to sit down but I couldn’t think. I just kind of jumped/moved around a lot. I’m usually very mellow. My drug of choice has always been weed too. I’m not a creative type but I love analyzing data while high. I can focus better and I have better judgment. If sober self can’t decide on something, my high self can. It’s weird.
Yeah, the energy boost seems to be the primary attraction of coke. Back then i was a runner and weightlifter, and always had plenty of energy pumping through me. I didn’t need that boost. I still don’t, which is why i don’t have an attraction to energy drinks either.
I did understand that another effect of cocaine was a sense of supreme self-confidence, which i didn’t need either. Not that I’m that confident anyway (or wasn’t back then), but drug-induced self-confidence wasn’t something i valued. I took my confidence from my accomplishments, and my ability to i teract with people. I wasn’t the life of the party, but i always had friends and relationships that were satisfying.
I suppose coke provides advantages i don’t need, while weed does. Alcohol has more of a numbing effect, which can be helpful if you are trying to supress bad stuff. I dont have that problem, either, or at least i have better ways of dealing with it.
I think it’s bad for a very specific type of person, I found it to be pretty underwhelming - like a strong cup of coffee that makes your face numb.
Race numbing led to a lot of atrocities in Central and South America.
