    I heard people talking about how much Irish people take it. I don't take it myself. Someone from DCU was on saying we're pretty much the same as anywhere else in Europe even though it seems as though we're doing it an awful lot.

    Just wondering how many people here take Cocaine.

    had it twice, no desire to ever do it again... completely pointless drug.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    I have gotten to 34 without trying it, and have no interest in doing so from here in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Take it where?

    No, I don't take it and never have. Was offered it but turned it down. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I move onto it though -- what, with marijuana being a gateway drug and everythin.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    All blow sold in Ireland is muck, it's not worth buying. I've had proper coke twice and it was class, I can understand why people would become quickly addicted to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 848 ✭✭✭MayMay


    Never tried it myself but I am seeing more and more people off their head on it lately and i'm not just saying that cause it's the popular thing to say these days, I really have noticed an increase in people using it. I've had friends who did it all the time so I can spot it a mile off. A certain "celeb" nightclub is full of people doing it, so much so it's put me off going there.

    There were saying that the crowd that took the coke at the 21st on the weekend down the country had a good quality batch and that this is why they got messed up as the normal stuff would not be as pure.

    Coke is god's way of telling you that you've too much cash


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,382 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Took it a few times, waste of time and money. Gives people a boost to their ego and makes them think they're better than everyone. Useless drug, better drugs out there to spend money on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,881 ✭✭✭dceire


    Never took it, dont have any desire to take it and dont get the whole drugs thing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Nein, drink is enough for me.

    i voted no cause i dont use it but i have tried it twice. was ok but not worth the cash.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 125 ✭✭dollydrops


    I have never taken any drugs. A father of a girl that died from taking drugs (can't recall what drug) came to my secondary school with pics of her in her coffin warning us all not to take drugs. Anytime I was offered drugs or seen people take drugs the image of that young girl would enter my head. It just freaked me out so much I was always too afraid which is a good thing.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    lol

    have you ever had a drink of coffee, or some wine?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,234 ✭✭✭Malteaser!


    Never taken it nor would I ever want to.

    I'm enough of a pr*ck already.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,980 ✭✭✭meglome


    Never tried it and to be honest when I meet people on it (very often these days) I find it can turn them into total ****. Not to mention the ****e talk which they think is super cool in their coked heads. Then of course you have the mixing of coke, pills and alcohol at the same time, that's always a classic to be around. Wouldn't even be remotely interested. I've had some really wierd nights at parties when literally everyone in the room is doing drugs other than me, seriously it's put me off any drugs for life.


  • Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Its always the people you least expect



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,709 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Never have, and never will. I've been smoking weed for a long time and love my mushrooms and crazy moments of salvia, but I would never go near anything bordering on addictive, especially coke

    Thats f*cking brilliant :D

    Anyways, no coke for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I did it once by accident...

    I don't have any real interest in doing it again... I talk enough bollox as it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    but I would never go near anything bordering on addictive

    So weed isn't even bordering on addictive, so can you explain all the people getting so pissed off and climbing the walls when there is a drought?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    No but then I've never had grass or popped a pill of any sort. It just doesn't appeal to me and being slightly intoxicated on the odd occasion is enough for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,063 ✭✭✭ParkRunner


    I havent tried it either, like the idea of having a buzz without getting a hangover or feeling rotten the next day, but i don't want to go down the road of coke!

    Weed has been shown to have roughly the same addiction rate as alcohol, AFAIK.

    But please, please, please, please lets not let this thread turn into yet another circular argument about the merits/dangers of dope.

    Climbing the walls? lol. Research shows that it's not particularly addictive... nobody I know has ever climbed the walls because there's a drought. They'd possibly be p*ssed off (although that's still extreme) -- but then, why wouldn't they be? They like smoking weed, and they have no access to it, so they can't do it. I wasn't too happy that there was a 2 week international break from the Premiership.

    Yup, its just like taking a child's favourite toy. They will miss it and have nothing else to do, but they won't be a shivering mess drowning in their own puddle of sweat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,528 ✭✭✭copeyhagen


    yeh i use it most weekends... know i shouldnt and that but fuk it i like it.

    Wasn't there some big statement last year that according to research, theres not one single note in Ireland that doesn't have a trace of cocaine on it. Shocking stuff. :rolleyes:

    Umm. Coke does make you feel like crap the next day.

    Anyway, I've done it a few times and I have to say it is the worst drug ever. I'm just glad I never paid for it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    It's just about the only drug left that I can do without getting completely banjaxed. I don't take it regularly though, maybe about two or three times a year at the most.

    They only tested 50 banknotes or a ridiculously small sample like that. And apparently the test was so sensitive it could have picked up traces that were transferred from other banknotes in counting machines etc.

    I know a few people that smoke soapbar like cigarettes. I think climing the walls was a fairly accurate description when the drought was on!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Nah, not really into na drugaí of any sort.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    No desire to at all. And that goes for all drugs (bar alcohol, nicotine and caffeine)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    Never touched a single hard drug(don't take soft either) and will never do, i'm not into that thing called putting myself into an early grave.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭kelle


    Never did, never will. Tried to smoke a few ordinary cigarettes in my teens, but only made me cough violently which put me off - thank goodness! SoI had no desire to snort or smoke anything else. And, being a hospital worker I've seen too many drug users affected with Hep C, abscesses and other problems.

    Never tried it and probably never will (don't know if I could refuse any drug out of Natalie Portman's cleavage etc.).

    Love my weed and a few drinks but there's something about the way coke seems to make people behave that keeps me away from it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Done it once, thought it was crap... probably wouldn't do it again.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    I never have, but I'm curious about it tbh. I'm too poor to afford it, but I wouldn't say I'd never try it (as long as I KNEW it was good quality, given to me by someone I trust). It's the only hard drug I'd consider, and I'd be terrified of getting addicted!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,648 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manic Moran


    Nope. Never have, never will.

    I don't need to spend the money, I certainly don't need an addiction, and besides, the Army does random drug testing.

    NTM


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭Goldenquick


    Nope never took it, tried smoking something way back in the old days, but it didn't do anything for me :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    Have never tried it. I'm open to trying most drugs. The people I know that would do mushies/weed/acid are pretty easy going and likable, on the other hand it's the more obnoxious insufferably ambitious gob****es I know that would be into coke, so in my head I just associate coke with annoying **** which lessens the appeal.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I have no interest in most drugs, incl alcohol and cigs. I've smoked a few joints in my time when in amsterdam but i've no desire to do it again.

    Caffeine though, that's another story:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    I did it once by accident...

    What did you think you were snorting?

    Mike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Probably Sherbert.

    I know a lot of people who take a lot of different drugs and the only ones they take regularly take is Smoke. I don't know anyone with an addiction to coke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 890 ✭✭✭l3LoWnA


    I didn't vote but the poll is telling me I did :(

    I've tried a few things, mainly when I was younger, including coke.......used to love it, wasn't addicted but was in love with it! :D Oh those were the days....Cost me a fortune though....

    We used to just call it "more" coz you always wanted....more! :rolleyes:
