    I heard people talking about how much Irish people take it. I don't take it myself. Someone from DCU was on saying we're pretty much the same as anywhere else in Europe even though it seems as though we're doing it an awful lot.

    Just wondering how many people here take Cocaine.

    Wasn't there some big statement last year that according to research, theres not one single note in Ireland that doesn't have a trace of cocaine on it. Shocking stuff. :rolleyes:

    I havent tried it either, like the idea of having a buzz without getting a hangover or feeling rotten the next day, but i don't want to go down the road of coke!
    Umm. Coke does make you feel like crap the next day.

    Anyway, I've done it a few times and I have to say it is the worst drug ever. I'm just glad I never paid for it.

    It's just about the only drug left that I can do without getting completely banjaxed. I don't take it regularly though, maybe about two or three times a year at the most.

    They only tested 50 banknotes or a ridiculously small sample like that. And apparently the test was so sensitive it could have picked up traces that were transferred from other banknotes in counting machines etc.

    Climbing the walls? lol. Research shows that it's not particularly addictive... nobody I know has ever climbed the walls because there's a drought. They'd possibly be p*ssed off (although that's still extreme) -- but then, why wouldn't they be? They like smoking weed, and they have no access to it, so they can't do it. I wasn't too happy that there was a 2 week international break from the Premiership.

    I know a few people that smoke soapbar like cigarettes. I think climing the walls was a fairly accurate description when the drought was on!

    No desire to at all. And that goes for all drugs (bar alcohol, nicotine and caffeine)

    Never touched a single hard drug(don't take soft either) and will never do, i'm not into that thing called putting myself into an early grave.

    Never did, never will. Tried to smoke a few ordinary cigarettes in my teens, but only made me cough violently which put me off - thank goodness! SoI had no desire to snort or smoke anything else. And, being a hospital worker I've seen too many drug users affected with Hep C, abscesses and other problems.

    Never tried it and probably never will (don't know if I could refuse any drug out of Natalie Portman's cleavage etc.).

    Love my weed and a few drinks but there's something about the way coke seems to make people behave that keeps me away from it.

    I never have, but I'm curious about it tbh. I'm too poor to afford it, but I wouldn't say I'd never try it (as long as I KNEW it was good quality, given to me by someone I trust). It's the only hard drug I'd consider, and I'd be terrified of getting addicted!

    Nope. Never have, never will.

    I don't need to spend the money, I certainly don't need an addiction, and besides, the Army does random drug testing.

    NTM

    Have never tried it. I'm open to trying most drugs. The people I know that would do mushies/weed/acid are pretty easy going and likable, on the other hand it's the more obnoxious insufferably ambitious gob****es I know that would be into coke, so in my head I just associate coke with annoying **** which lessens the appeal.

    I have no interest in most drugs, incl alcohol and cigs. I've smoked a few joints in my time when in amsterdam but i've no desire to do it again.

    Caffeine though, that's another story:(

    Probably Sherbert.

    I know a lot of people who take a lot of different drugs and the only ones they take regularly take is Smoke. I don't know anyone with an addiction to coke.

    I didn't vote but the poll is telling me I did :(

    I've tried a few things, mainly when I was younger, including coke.......used to love it, wasn't addicted but was in love with it! :D Oh those were the days....Cost me a fortune though....

    We used to just call it "more" coz you always wanted....more! :rolleyes:

    Used to do it the odd time when offered, but I never saw what the big deal was. Now it kicks the crap out of me the next day, so I don't touch it.

    LOL at all the people who are scared stiff to even look at cocaine for fear of becoming instantly, hopelessly addicted :rolleyes: It doesn't work like that.

    An addiction is something you can't stop, not just something you enjoy doing regularly.

    Is that so? Well, someone better tells those chaps over in Narcotics Anonymous. Those guys are just wasting everyone's time!!!

    All I said was I used to love the stuff. I didn't even say how often I took it, how much I took or whether I craved it....simply that I loved it. How can you define that as an addiction when you know NONE of the details? :rolleyes:

    Just because I always wanted more.....doesn't mean I was addicted. How many people want one too many drinks on an average Saturday night? Does that make them an alcoholic?

    Done it on a few occassions over the last 3 yrs or so. It was in my circle and I tried it; great....for about 20 minutes. Overrated altogether IMO; I like the numbness and the head tingles and feeling like your skull is a convertible with the top down as much as anyone but the money swapped for that short-term feeling is ridiculous. I always drank with it, usually spirits (and smoked too obviously) and I'd have been at the sort of parties that those ones in waterford were at a couple of times and I invariably went home with a thumping heartbeat, an ever growing sense of emptiness or depression and insomnia.
    There were nights when I was scared I mightn't wake up if I did get to sleep, one of those times was enough to make me swear off it and I've never touched it since, although I've been offered and had a random urge to try and get some (coke is an insipid addiction like that, the psychological addiction takes hold way way before any physical dependence).
    Always felt great the next day after it....the day following that I'd get the horrors.
    I'd far rather my pills and I don't even bother with them as much anymore. Coke has definitely increased in usage even from when I first saw it emerge into the mainstream...it's ruined the clubbing scene (or what passes for one here) and it's slowly f*cking up pubs too. I've a good mate who has a pretty substantial habit, he'd've been at the point where he'd be doing it during the week, sometimes at work, missing mondays and tuesdays and generally f*cking up...he's since cut well back (or so he says).

    I draw the line at heroin, crack and crystal meth....everything else is fair game, but coke just isn't my thing and I don't think I'd want it to be...
