Re:: Ex-Ecstasy Clubbers Fuel UK Cocaine Craze
[quote=brakada][quote=chemicalbeavis]I'm sure i heard that cocaine isn't physically addictive[/quote]
Well, I guess you heard wrong. Cocaine can cause a terrible physical addiction, which is supposedly much worse than the heroin addiction. It is not as easy to get addicted, but once you are, the way out is very hard to find.

and in my own experiences i would agree with this, i think it's the social aspect that becomes habitual, if i cane a couple of G over a weekend, i dont crave for it the day after or anything, i recently gave up smoking after 20 years, and that was addictive, i went through hell, i'm not advocating the use of cocaine or anything, it sure is bad for you, but the conception that you will become "hooked" is rubbish imo.[/quote]
Nope it's hard physical addiction with craving, shaking and everything else included. I once read an article why all the south American Indians never developped any form of addiction although constantly chewing coke leaves. It is because coke leaf itself contains an antidote against the addictive substances. so, basically coke leaves contain the "venom" and the "antidote". But cocaine is produced by removing the antidote substances, thus strengthening its effects and making it...
...yup, addictive... :mrgreen: But do not forget: IT IS NOT THAT EASY TO BECOME HOOKED ON COCAINE, but once you are, it's usually too late. So it's best to avoid regular use... :wink:[/quote]
thats garbage, there is no physical addiction associated with cocaine use. find an article that says otherwise...
