It can be. Depends on the psychology of the person taking it really, and if they have an “easy” supply then a habit can form pretty quickly.
And how much cash you have access to.
cocaine is not physically addictive, it is only psychologically addictive if you are someone who is suseptable to being psychologically addicted to substances
I’ve watched my sister rip up her floor boards for coke, as she was so desperate for it as she had become dependent on it, I thankfully have never found myself in this way with any substances – I guess close to it with tobacco at times
there are no medications that they give if you are detoxing – i guess they may give you some vallium to ‘take the edge off’ the agitation but again this is more to help the psychological withdrawals, as you can end up in an inpatient detox unit to help stop using
why you asking? you having difficulties?
afaik it’s not psychically addictive like nicotine, heroin alcohol etc. but can be very psychologically ‘morish’ to certain individuals.
afaik it’s not psychically addictive like nicotine, heroin alcohol are etc. but it can be psychologically ‘morish’ to certain individuals for sure. alot of the time it’s just a case of delaying that dark comedown…

No, but I do appreciate the concern 🙂
I’ve only tried it twice; the first time was the best night I’ve had in a while, especially considering it was a night of drinking in a park which I haven’t done in years and normally hate, and then a house party with people I didn’t really know apart from my boyfriend and 2 others. I was flying around the room dancing and having a great time ha, wired to the moon. The second time was mediocre at best – definitely not worth the addiction or the money though! 80euro for a gram?! Think I’ll stick to my weed thanx ha 🙂
Ha yeah I’m the same, only get desperate for tobacco luckily. Sometimes weed, but if I can’t get some I can’t get some, end of story. I do get a bit cranky but nothing a nice meal and a cigarette and a cuddle with the bf can’t fix. 🙂
Yeah I’ve heard people do crazy shit for coke and I can understand it considering it really IS morish – I was gutted when we ran out the first night, but I’m smart enough to not spend money I don’t have on cocaine. But the second time is sooo disappointing compared to the first time. It’s almost not worth even doing a third time, you may as well stick with drink and/or E’s.
How do you actually get addicted to coke? I know it’s a silly question, but I’ve recently opened up my mind to drugs and I want to know what I’m stepping into. Is it if you’re in a situation where you can afford it and it’s easy to find? How many times/how often do you think you can do coke before getting hooked? Or is it more about the mindset and your will power and just accepting that it’s a ‘special occasion’ kind of drug?
I was having a conversation with a friend of my bfs about coke after the first time I did it (he comes from a VERY wealthy background, very intelligent med student) who was once hooked on it, and he said coke is fun untill it starts to make you angry and paranoid and twitchy. How do you avoid that and ensure that every time you take it, you’re in a great mood?
Hope your sister is better now. I haven’t seen anyone get so desperate for any sort of drug, even though I know people who have been/are addicted and I can only imagine how upsetting it is, especially if it’s your sister. <3 xxx
Apologies for all the questions guys, but a coke addiction is probably the only addiction I just don’t understand.
I’m simply curious as to why you’ve recently created threads requesting information on at least 3 or 4 different drugs within quick succession. If you’re new and inexperienced to the drug culture how about just one at a time eh? Forgive me if I sound a bit harsh but you just appear to be extracting information and not bringing anything to the table yourself.

Yeah, if you read my posts, I mentioned several times I’ve only tried E and cocaine. Weed is my ‘drug.’ A lot of people I know have tried several drugs, and on this website I’ve read about drugs I never even knew existed. So, naturally, I’m curious. I want to experiment more, but I want to be safe and clever about it. Knowledge of the drugs will ensure that. And what better way to find something out than to ask people who know about it first hand?
I’m also interested in doing Psychology for my masters and working with drug users, to be honest. I’m trying to understand everything I can about the individual drugs themselves, the drug culture, and why certain drugs have certain effects on certain people. Apologies if you find that offensive, but I know people who have tried drug counseling and have said it doesn’t work because the therapists have no idea what it’s really like, and I can totally understand that. Forgive me for wanting to know more about this kind of stuff than what is taught in my stuck-up holier-than-thou university.
Plus my boyfriend has been going off the rails lately with drugs (mainly coke and e’s and valium) and I need to understand them before I can decide how I feel about it. He’ll only tell me the positives.
and i dont plan on doing everything at the same time, or everything as such. i want to pick one of two more, try them once or twice, and stop altogether. if you must know.

Ok first off I also apologise if I was a little confrontational. Guess you’re in the right place then and welcome. What I can offer is valium is physically addictive so it only takes a short binge to get hooked, it’s happened to a few of my former friends. And I’m guessing he’s using it in conjunction with the E, for the come down? E is psychologically addictive but and some are more susceptible to psychological addiction than others. Using both simultaneously can be a vicious cycle to break and the addicted will often deny the problem, hence he only talks about the positives. And as for the coke again psychological but coke is shit and there’s simply no need to be doing it, plus of the three coke probably ravages the mind and body the most. If you love him and he really loves you tell him honestly your concerns and he should calm it if he gives a damn about your relationship. I was hooked on MDMA and didn’t give a toss that I was destroying myself until I fell in love. Now I’m back to occasional recreational use.
I’m watching Marley and me whilst waiting for misfits to start.
I would go balls deep in Jennifer Aniston. Just putting it out there
Awh shes a hottie, was gutted when Brad Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie, she’s such a sweetheart 🙂
No worries, I understand how it may have seemed weird 🙂 I just never thought a website like this existed and probably got over excited to use it ha 🙂
Yeah he was hooked on it for years too actually (he says his troubled childhood is to blame for that) and when he met me he calmed down TONNES. I didn’t see it though coz I only saw the calmed down side to him, but everyone said so, and after hearing stories of his binging, I believe I did.
He’s back using now though, and although it’s not got to a worrying point (yet), I want to make sure it doesn’t. Part of me tried E and Coke to understand why he likes them so much, and so I can understand his ‘connection’ with them, if you get me. Silly, I know, but I quickly realised nagging about it and trying my best to prevent him from doing them wasnt working coz he’d be like ‘yea but uve never tried it so u dont understand why i like it’ so i tried it, and i can say back ‘no, i did, but i know the limit.’
Yeah I know about valium (read about it and asked around on this 😉 ) and i know how addictive it is, and ive also tried it, so i know why ppl like it – especially combined with a joint 😉
He actually takes valium even if he hasnt been out the night before, if he has no joints, or if hes had a stressful day. But it’s not every day thankfully. & im pretty sure he doesnt binge.
Ps what is occasional recreational use? is once a week/once every two weeks too often? coz thats how often he does e’s.
