Im old now 15 / 20 years ago it was all drinking mainly . The odd time some people I knew would get cocaine and I dabbled... I never noticed anything ! What is it meant to do? Is it supposed to give you a drunk feeling

Im 22, I've taken it plenty of times. The stuff you would get in ireland is a waste of money. Now, if you go to ibiza then that's another story. It's grand to do every once in a while if you're that way inclined. The last time I took it was last summer in ibiza, stayed up for about 36-40 hours. Had a great time. Again, when in Rome and all that

It just makes you more chatty, sociable, hyper, awake longer.

Cant really explain it.

I don't really take it anymore as experimenting with drugs isn't 'fun' to me nowadays I've much better things to be doing.


Depends on who and what your circle is, in terms of how easy it is to get. Again, I wouldn't bother buying it in ireland ever again, unless it was online.

It would only take a few text messages if I wanted to get it. I don't actually like it though, it's boring, overrated, costs too much and ruins peoples egos

It sees no class either, don't get confused to think someone who takes that on the weekend is a druggie or scumbag. In fact I've never seen a scumbag take cocaine they cant afford it :V

Most friends or peers that I've seen taking it would have been a bit more well off.

Can be apparently very addictive though and I've seen that in other people. People that can't just have fun, they have to keep going for days and getting more and more. Where as I could take a few lines and have my fun, go to bed after.

There's some dodgy stuff around at the moment.

A friend of mine was addicted to the stuff, she's in recovery now but had a relapse lately. She was on it for a few days and woke up extremely ill and unable to move. She was brought to hospital by ambulance, and they found methamphetamines and some other stuff in her system as well as the coke. You just don't know what you're getting.

Even scarier though - when she bought it, she put the bag into her bra (as one does like.) It burned a huge patch of skin off her boob!! She's been left with a permanent scar from it. Now if it did that to her outside, imagine what it was doing to her insides. No wonder she was so ill!!

The whole experience scared her into getting clean again, thankfully.

Yeah it's crap compared to the rest of the world. And overpriced.

Maybe if you order stuff online you'd get a bit better quality.

I took it regularly (prob every couple of months) for about 10 years and never got addicted. I also used to run pubs/nighclubs some of which were full of people on coke/speed/pills and believe me the worst people to deal with were the drunks. The legal drug.

Life is so crap for many many people in this country that it’s escapism at the weekends

I'd argue, you actually were addicted to it, 'I took it regularly'!, but maybe you were able to walk away from it easier than others, and best of luck to you if that's the case, ah yea alcohol is fcuked, my dysfunctional neighbours are more than likely alcoholics, it's a fcuking mess, I think it’s time to maybe legalise the lot now

For sure, there’s a fairly rough pub I’d drink in and half the 60 year olds are snorting their heads off in there

Shur I'm not addicted, I can stop anytime I like!

Before Covid kicked off, it was basically taken for granted as part of a night out with all the young lads I worked with, I'd say it was well above Celtic Tiger levels. Can't afford to move out, so they've disposable income and don't want to go home.

Ok maybe I’m just not that clued in but everyone tells me it’s so easy to get Cocaine and other drugs.

I’m not disputing this but I just wonder how someone who is decent etc decides they need a bag of coke and knows who to call or where to look.

I’m from a small town and know people who take drugs but not sell

Diego Maradona, The Beatles, Stones took it, Kate Moss was photographed having a snort, I took it myself but think it's over-priced and over-rated but each to their own. A famous journalist said u can't get good coke in Dublin, I think he was right.

No offense but that burn part sounds like one of those BS stories they tell you in SPHE class to scare you.

Fwiw you can get cheap disposable testing kits so you know what you’re getting - obviously your general punter isn’t testing their stuff but if one wanted to be conscientious about their drug use it’s pretty easy.

Wouldn’t be a fan. I’m well able to put away 10 pints anyway without needing a few snorts from Satan’s snuff pouch to keep going. Very overrated drug.

If you take too much of it you also get a dose of coke cock. There you are gagging for the ride, and not a fücking stir out of it. Worse than brewers droop by far. Not even tapping it off the bedside locker works. Dead as a fücking dodo and your mind racing with filthy thoughts.

flanna01

Correct me if I'm wrong..
To digest cocaine in the first place, suggests a condition of want??
The punter needs to be artificially propelled to a higher plateau..??
How sad is that?
One's own life is so inadequate, that one has to take mind altering substances to offset the reality of who they really are..
And coke is a 'in' thing........
Really??

You sound really young and innocent.

You can't even grasp the fact that a mind altering drug could affect your personality or ego long term...

People that constantly take cocaine, or that feel on top of the world because of it, naturally have their ego affected, can become very cocky and not nice people.

Relikk

Cocaine, the abuse of it and mainly having to deal with insufferable people on it would be one of the many reasons why I stopped working in the music/entertainment industry. It's endemic there.

Yes, everywhere. From what I can see it makes the weekend more bearable for those who are in denial about how unhappy they are in their mundane lives. My guess is the chemically induced self confidence, gives a temporary reprieve from their crushing lack of self esteem.

Like alcohol with extreme added self interest and arrogance, yes.

Anyway in my younger days I much preferred a big bag of speed. Much more bang for your buck.
