Cocaine becomes addictive when used regularly. Regular use encourages pleasure receptors in your brain to respond to coke and become unresponsive to their previous stimuli. Without regular use the risks associated with cocaine are very low.
Quote:Your friend wasn't addicted? Is that why he did it for ten years then? Just sayin. It is near impossible not to become addicted to it, whether you use it once in awhile or not: you're addicted at some level.Nonsense. I hate drugs, but I don't spurt bullshit to make my point, nor do I like to listen to bullshit.
Quote:The level of self-control in each individual varies is all. I'll never get rid of the want to do cocaine, it'll always be there. I have no idea where you get your information, unless it's from your friend who probably is biased towards the subject. Hell, I even reminisce fondly of cocaine but I can admit to myself that I was addicted, and that it's deadly. The damage in your friend is done. Weed on the other hand, is harmless and if anything should be legalized above alcohol, which just like illicit drugs can be deadly if use is uninhibited.Cannabis stays in your body, and your body is still affected by it, for far longer than alcohol. That's why alcohol is legal and cannabis isn't.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
