    Tried it a couple times. Didn't snort, just did the whole gum thing. Wasn't overly impressed; just isn't my thing. Don't envision myself doing it again.


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


    snorted it 2 or 3 times, useless drug.

    all that happend was I wasn't able to get stoned when I smoked weed, that was generally my tell for a **** drug. If I can't get high when i'm using it, then there's no point taking it


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 586 ✭✭✭Bradidup


    Tried it a few times. Dose nothing for me.

    is that not what the coke is for?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,959 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Did it 2-3 times when my mate had some, he was cool with sharing.

    Then i found out how much it cost and never bothered me arse with it since, better things to spend me hard earned on

    I'm usually very quiet, but it makes me talk away to anything and everything.
    Haven't done any in a couple of years though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 593 ✭✭✭Rockery Woman


    I never tried it and I never will.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭scientific1982


    Tried it a good few times and I can see why people get addicted.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,683 ✭✭✭heavyballs


    jesus judgeing by this it's sheite,
    i know a girl who does it,she wouldn't spend €20 on her young kid who is dressed up like a hobo most days
    ,if she's doing it just once a week how much approx would that set her back?

    so you reckon some of these people that say they can take it or leave it are kinda fooling themselves?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving


    I spent a summer in Spain and it was my staple diet! Haven't touched it in a few years though, think the novety wore off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 689 ✭✭✭tudlytops


    Been there, done that and more, sad story....bla bla bla, got clean, wont do it again.

    But in any case, i think the OP wnated to know how to set up a poll, you know when you see them on top of threads and you can vote.

    May be wrong but I think that is what the OP wanted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Conas


    Cocaine is a track to nowhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 251 ✭✭fikay


    I've done some. was a bit of a fiend for a while (mostly overseas).
    It's a bit hit and miss.
    If you get something half way decent you can spend days just chugging along, keeping your little buzz tipping over. a pretty good time if I'm honest.
    Bad coke is bad coke though: you're not going to do a lot of it.
    That said all the sterotypes of coke heads as overly confident dickheads are probably spot on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,127 ✭✭✭kjl


    I've done it a bit,

    The stuff you get in Ireland is muck, you wouldn't really get much of a buzz from it.

    I did it in the states where the purity is about 80% vs in ireland where it's about 20%, much better over there.

    I did get 2 grams of Columbian grade 90% pure stuff before (I know none of you will believe this, but it's true). To be honest that was the turn off for me. a bit like the old story of your dad finding you smoking so making you smoke 20 in front of you. This stuff was insane, so incredibly strong that for 2 weeks straight I was up till 7am every morning taking it. It was real like at 7am you were like "Maybe I'll just take one more line", I was getting sick from doing so much, my head was mashed. Any night I did it on my own I jerked off like 7 times.

    If you want to give it a go, knock yourself out, but I have personally had enough.

    The thing is, you can get an ecstasy for like 10 euro, and it's soooo much better. Where as you pay €100 for a bag of coke and it's rubbish.

    But as far as addictive, well I think it would be much harder to quit smoking than coke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    OP, PM a mod if you want a poll put up, they might do it for you.
    Or go into advanced options in edit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 461 ✭✭carefulnow100


    Havent tried it personally, but I do hear alot of stories basically about the amount of people that do it as a weekend thing which is pretty bad imo.
    I would never be curious to try it meself but we as humans are curious by nature so I can also see why alot of people do it, not that im condoning it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    Never tried it, probably would though. Would not be too keen on snorting it though.

    Done it, many times. Hit and miss, mostly miss. When it's good it's good when it's bad it's even more a waste of money than when it's good. Still a waste of money. To summarise; avoid.

    No, I didnt say that. Its enjoyable to take, so I can see why some people take it regularly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,333 ✭✭✭Saganist


    Spent 3 years of my life doing it on a regular basis..

    stopped doing it over 3 years ago.

    It turns you into an prick... :rolleyes:

    For me that is the whole appeal. I ended up having all these deadly experiences as a result of taking it that as my normal, introverted self would never have happened. Certain personalities are probably more affected by it than others


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 463 ✭✭dollybird2


    Never have and never intend to. Stick to my smokes cheers


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,665 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    Thread needsss sommmme polllleeerrrrghhh.
    Yes. Of course and nice stuff is nice stuff .pphhhhhwooarrrr.

    Nice drug in small doses, in the right place and at the right time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,725 ✭✭✭charlemont


    Used to use it every weekend in Utrecht ten years ago, good quality but i used to take low quantity at a time, most times id put it in a skin and swallow it, never had any cravings for it during the week but you would knock back some drink on it, never got into taking it in Ireland as i dont fancy dying from badly mixed expensive crap...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 325 ✭✭I-Shot-Jr


    I pretend to be anti drugs but its just because I know, knowing my luck, that I'd be the poor bastard that has a heart attack on their very first try.

    To quote Dylan Moran;

    If I want a buzz I just stand up when I'm not expecting it.

    Tried it a few times, usually when it the bag was passed to me for free. I paid for it 2 or 3 times, alway regretted it for the quality wasnt great. Even if it was good i wouldnt be handing over that money too often.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,204 ✭✭✭FoxT


    if I had the spare cash ...my drug of choice would be hookers + antibiotics.

    it's not about why really,fact is they do on a huge scale


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 101 ✭✭pulpfictionost


    I did 4 lines in a row my first time, It was absolutley crap. I was drinking a little aswell and alcohol had the better effect. Never tried it again. I dont even smoke cigarettes. I was just curious about cocaine. My pallette went fairly numb, and the next day my nose was runny and itchy beyond belief. Minor discomfort, but not worth the money or the minimal pleasure.

    Cant understand addiction to cigarrettes or cocaine, ive never tried anything else , dont intend to


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,235 ✭✭✭Bosco boy

    Do you ever post on boards while your on it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-


    I've never tried but I'd def be willing.

    Have done speed though if they are anyway comparable.

    A lot of people in ireland have "tried" cocaine, problem is they were given a line of glorified talcon powder, therefore they thinks its crap.high quality cocaine is good, the crap we get here isnt worth spending your money on. I did a lot in spain while living there, I remember getting the proper stuff a few times though and it blew the head of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,834 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    does headshop stuff count?

    Never would touch it but know some who have done.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,683 ✭✭✭heavyballs


    maybe this poll will increase on the 'yes' side a little after lunch time today when a few of my coke head mates eventually get out of the scratcher


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 357 ✭✭Horse_box


    Coke ,for me, is a drug that gives absolutely nothing back. When I try a drug I want to feel that I've gained something positive from it

    Mdma lets you be incredibly open and honest with your friends, it breaks down the barrier of egos. LSD lets you see yourself subjectivly and can be a really positive way of finding your true self. Cannabis lets your mind wander freely and can help release tension in times of stress.

    Cocaine numbs your face and makes you talk shite, and it's always me me me. It's a horrible selfish drug


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Wow, those results are a little shocking tbh.

    17 people who really need to have a serious reflection on what the fúck they were thinking, knowing the stories especially in the last few years with Gerry Ryan, Katy French etc.

    Drugs, are for complete idiots. In my experience, even light usage of cannabis has turned some of my friends (or ex-friends) into complete stoners/wastes of space.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,857 ✭✭✭indough


    wow, you sound like great fun


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Don't get high on your supply.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,127 ✭✭✭kjl


    Between that & the thread you started, giving intricate details of how you wash out your anus, I feel like I know you just a little too well already.

    I suppose that's the good thing about the anonymity of the Internet, in Freud terms you can expose people to your super-ego with out fear of refection. For example, I have outed myself as bisexual on boards, but it is not something I even share with my closest friends.

    Anyway, it was just one night, it's not like I'm some chronic masterbator who does this on a daily basis.
