Cocaine is a hell of a drug (1 Viewer)

[shadyridr]

My BIL (wifes brother) is a really good hearted kid. He has been a certified weed smoker for many years. Recently he got into a major union and takes home around 150k a year. Im proud of him. Anyway, part of his contract calls for marijuana testing. He was very upset about it but ultimately he realized how much money he ipwould be making and decided to quit smoking weed. Unfortunately he told me he occasionally snorts cocaine instead now. He said the job doesnt test for that. He also asked me not to tell his sister (my wife). I have some questions.

1. Is it possible to take cocaine casually and not become addicted? I am fairly confident he is not a drug addict...yet and that he does limit himself to it on occasion.
2. Do I tell my wife?
3. Do I just have a talk wih him myself? What do I say? I never did drugs so its hard for me to give advice. I guess i can focus on how stupid hes being and that cocaine is addictive and that he can lose a very well paying job.

I love the kid and dont want something bad to happen to him.

Last study I saw the average Coke user was a white middle manager who used a couple of times a month. I was pretty heavy into it and just decided one day it sucked and so I walked away. Haven't done any since and that was 20 years ago. Anything can be addictive.

 

[Apple Jack]

There are people in NYC who DON'T use cocaine casually?

 

[rockaction]

Dear God, shady, I'm sorry. It's, as Rick James will tell you, a hell of a drug. Start hiding money.

/not kidding

To answer your questions in order

1) Yes. Of course that's possible. People casually use drugs all the time. What's important is what is driving him to do this given the repercussions of his actions. He knows what this means, and has still chosen to take that step. The addiction is probably less important than what underlies his decision to do so. It's not the drug, it's the decision and what it says about how he views his jobs/wife/family, etc.

2) I have no idea. Depends on how your sister would react, I guess.

3) Yes. Tell him that anonymous strangers on a message board are concerned for him, that's how significant the decision he's made is. Let him know it's the process of the decision and that you love him unconditionally, but refuse to sit idly by and watch him ruin himself.

 

[fantasycurse42]

1) Absolutely possible to do casually. Cocaine is awesome, I do it maybe 1-2x a year (bachelor party, going out with a big group of people haven't seen in a while, vacation in Mexico, #### like that). I'm fairly disciplined so I can control myself. I know others that are the same. However, there is another kind of person, an addict, so if this is his personality, then there can be some cause for concern.

2) No, if you say something, say it to him. Did he tell you this with the assumption that it stays between the two of you?

3) Sure, say something... Let him know he is a grown up and needs to be in control of his life. If he ever feels like things are spiraling, he can always reach out to you.

WTH sort of union do you get into that pays $150k off the mark?

 

[sho nuff]

Mine uses it formally. Black tie and all.

 

[-jb-]

Odd that they test for the less addictive and less impactful thing that will eventually be legal anyway but not coke. Strange.

Prob saying that bc weed will stay in a heavy users system for up to a month while coke is gone in 2 days.

Yeah, they probably give them notice. How old is "the kid?"

1. The vast vast majority of people that use it do so occasionally.

2. If you tell your wife, you're an ###hole.

I do cocaine more formally. Snort it off my monocle, or the brim of my tophat.

Not his wife so maybe reread the story.

 

[McGarnicle]

It is most definitely possible to use it casually and not get addicted. I enjoy it once in a blue moon but I'm not the type to get addicted to stimulants. Others get hooked really bad on it. Now if I was dumb enough to get into heroin and had a steady supply, I'd be blowing guys under an overpass within a month.

Coke is handy to have around for headaches. Nothing is quicker or more effective imo, and you don't need much at all.

1. He can certainly use it casually. Many people do. Just look for signs of abuse.

2. No way in hell you tell your wife. He told you this in confidence. Obviously he considers you a friend as much as a brother-in-law. You don't betray a friend's confidence.

3. Sure. But don't be judgemental. Finding out his purpose for using would be good. Letting him know you're there if he needs you.

Also, tell him to be careful. His company DOES screen for coke, it's just the whole "it only stays in your system for 2 days" thing. I've seen multiple people fail a drug test for cocaine because they used on Saturday and got popped for a random on Monday morning. 150K seems like a lot to risk for momentary bliss...

my wife, his sister. Hes not married. Hes not lying. He told me. Mentioned it casually. Asked me not to mention it to his sister/my wife. His whole family knows he was a pothead. He never hid it.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Oh yea, it's also great for getting hot chicks to drop their panties

 

[shadyridr]

Do we all agree that cocaine is awesome and Shady should try it so he knows how to advise his BIL?

im actually going to a bachelor party with him this weekend and he is bringing some. I have zero desire to try it.

Ok

 

[Fennis]

I find it hard to believe they test for marijuana, but not narcotics. of course, coke doesn't stay in the system long, so he could be banking on that.

What's the big deal? After you're drunk take a line... You'll feel like a rockstar. It's not like heroin where you're a junkbox. Cocaine is a grown up drug, for fun grown up times. Just do it, report back.

 

[McGarnicle]

How long does x stay in your system?

 

[NCCommish]

How long does x stay in your system?

Depends on your metabolism and other factors but no less than 24 and likely no more than 72 hours.

Without question you should tell your wife.

If you don't want to don't. At the end of the day it's boring and you are always chasing that first line.

i dunno. Just never had the desire to try it. I prefer weed and percocet to just feel chill.

Well now aren't you going to feel like an ####### when his heart explodes.

Now if I was dumb enough to get into heroin and had a steady supply, I'd be blowing guys under an overpass within a month.

But is there any downside to it?

 

[fantasycurse42]

Idk, I find it a euphoric feeling. I really only like it when I'm wasted. I still feel drunk, but also sober. Hard to explain if you've never done it.

Coke, booze, and Viagra is def the best combination of substances on Earth.

That's how it was for me when I'd do it for a session. First line is like the skies parted and the Virgin Mary handed me a golden chalice filled with love and gold coins and poontang, but each line became progressively less enjoyable, and my throat would tighten up and I'd need a gallon of water, then you run out and it's 6AM, you can't sleep and you feel like garbage. Weed or Xanax mitigates that to a degree, but to me the whole experience wasn't something I wanted to keep doing. Two girls I dated a long time ago were into it, otherwise I may never have even tried it.

Night and day though. With opiates the euphoria is more like you're floating along without a care in the world. Coke is like OMG THIS IS SO GREAT, but it fades quick and you keep needing more. The opiate high gives way to that nodding off feeling, so it's never really a bad crash. You just eventually go to sleep (in my experience).

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Cocaine is probably the most misrepresented drug of them all. It carries such a negative stigma.

Before I tried coke for the first time I thought it would make you act as if you were on bath salts or at least what I imagine being high on bath salts would be like. A line and you'd be a sweating babbling madman.

Now it does have it's dangers if you abuse it, but a few lines and you'll be having some really awesome down to earth conversations with your friends and quite possibly the best sex of your life with your lady friends.

Like any drug you can over do it, but provided you can control yourself it's one of the best experiences of your life and you're not even hungover the next day.

IMO it becomes dangerous if A) You have unlimited access to it. B) You can't control yourself and lose track of time and take too much.

There was a time in my life that I could push a brick a month. The #### I had was as pure as you could get. 10 layers of plastic and then the South American newspaper with the cartel's seal imprinted on the brick. Straight off the submarine. (The smell, my god the smell.)

At first I was too scared to try it but eventually curiosity gets to you and the powder is everywhere so at first it's just a little dusting. Now since I was pushing so much weight, it was at my disposal. I could do blow for 3 days in a row while the money came rolling in. Sleep for two days straight, rinse and repeat. This went on for a couple of years. I learned how to step on it and rebrick it. Then my supplier tried the same and the quality went downhill and it ####ed up he entire game in my region.

Once the source dried up , so did the money and my penchant for using the stuff. I just couldn't fathom paying my own money for crappy coke when I had the best there was. I done it maybe 5 times in the past 8 years and never once paid for it.

The point being, if you make enough money and it's within reach, you can get addicted but otherwise it's very easy to do it occasionally without and danger of being addicted. Obviously it depends on your BILs personality, but imo $150k isn't enough money to make cocaine that viable more then a handful of times a year.

Ive actually turned it down a lot more then then I've done it over these past 8 years.

I realized I've gone off on a tangent and spent most of this time bragging about the good old days.

Bottom line , yes it's possible and I'd even encourage people to do it occasionally , but unless you're loaded, it's not at your disposal to to addictive.

Also , keep your mouth shut and mind your business. Not your place.

Yeah the sex thing, I never got that at all. I was a limp noodle after a few lines, and this was when I was 19 and I'd get hard looking at a chick's knee cleavage. I wouldn't shut up all night, but wouldn't even have the desire to make out with a girl. Weed has always been much more of an aphrodisiac.
