Real coke is like 30 minutes of basically a glorified caffeine rush.

It's a lot more than that. Cocaine, amphetamine and other strong stimulants are ego boosters. This is why they are dangerously addictive. Psychedelics on the other hand can be ego inhibitors.

Decades ago I had a friend who advocated alternating stimulant times with psychedelic times: Keep your ego in check with psychedelics until it becomes too small and the recover it with stimulants. Back and forth.

It's far too easy to let one's ego get out of control. Ego feels good. Ego suppression can be uncomfortable.

The more concentrated the stimulant the more unwieldy the ego boost can become. Snorting little lines of "real coke" is relatively harmless. Most retail cocaine has been heavily diluted. Start injecting it intravenously or freebasing it (crack) and it's a whole new ball game.
_____

I had second thoughts about including cocaine in my original post because there really is no valid "emergency" use for it. I included it simply because it is one of the most evil substances voluntarily consumed by mankind. Likewise with tobacco.

As someone else pointed out, most dangerous drugs have a valid use. Short-term opioid use is absolutely required after getting your bones screwed back together. Just don't continue it for more than a day or two. Likewise benzos. They can be sanity savers in a panic attack but can become dependency producing in a very short time.

Use drugs judiciously when they are necessary and then once you get the message, hang up the phone.
_____

Full disclosure:

I started using cocaine in the 1960s when it was rare and exotic. I continued using small amounts during the 1970s to give me a small boost onstage. It seemed to increase my accuracy and the audiences seemed to like it. By the 1980 s I was starting to get less diluted cocaine and succumbed to its allure. Soon I was buying it regularly and before too long I tried injecting it.  The first time I tried freebase I realized it was just like injecting it but much more convenient. I fucked up and spent a friend's money  in one night.

By the end of the 1980s I had tapered off, first by not consuming any until I'd paid for my purchase with sales. Then I realized that was bullshit and I stopped buying it but still accepted feebies. Then I stopped doing it completely for a year until I was handed  joint at a Christmas party that had some coke in it. Next thing I knew I was asking for more like some kind of crackhead. That was the last time cocaine entered my body.. Dec 1988.

if you need a boost coke does give it but a small amount of meth and steady coffee will allow you to drive from NYC to Miami with just piss breaks.

Damn, you guys have a history I'm thankfully unfamiliar with - having never once even thought about wanting to try any kind of recreational drug. I was too much of a strait-laced academic and definitely career-oriented.

I wouldn't even know where to get it, I didn't hang out with any friends that used drugs - and I certainly didn't want to disappoint my family or ruin my future by having a record for substance abuse or doing something stupid while under the influence. That mindset has served me well and I don't regret it...

I definitely had my fun with strippers and cocaine when I was 18. I’d probably be too paranoid of fentanyl to ever touch it again.

Strategy has officially been denied inclusion in this quarter’s S&P 500 rebalancing…

[hypebrother]

Ego death? Really?

The problem with psychedelic scene today - half baked scholars

And also enlightening teams working for gain. In other words Ram Das and Con.

These motherfuckers came to India, along with other hippies..

For what?

Sandoz still running strong my friends...

By the way.. you speak of an unreal something?

And also speak of destroying it?

That's a real shame, but it doesn't surprise me. Strategy may never be included in the S&P 500 with Bitcoin's high degree of volatility...

Carvana, CRH, Comfort Systems to join S&P 500 in rebalancing at the end of December, S&P Dow Jones Indices said.

NYC was wild from 1967 to 1987

It is why I joined the Navy in 1978 it was safer then NYC

Great post, and enjoy hearing about your past... particularly as a fellow lifelong performing musician...

Just wanted to differ with one thing.  Though smoking (or chewing) tobacco is a terrible mistake IMO, nicotine is actually a very interesting and potentially helpful drug.  Wicked dependence profile, but  it has tons of potential.  Parkinsons, Sarcomas, Dementia... Nicotine can help with those conditions and many others .  Obviously Dopamine deficits can be helped too... thus parkinsons. But also ADHD etc.

But yeah...   smoking is a huge net negative.
