(actual) DRUG DISCUSSION THREAD [DONT TELL MOM AND DAD EDITION]

[Gorilla Tits]

Cocaine is fun guys, probably for the best that it's expensive over here so I usually only get it for special occasions, it's like €80 a gram

Sometimes I might even have some left over which is cool so I might have the odd line now and then, it's great because you're never tired!

2015 Warning: Since 2009, cocaine cut with levamisole (a veterinary and human dewormer) has been increasingly reported and has resulted in numerous hospitalizations and a few deaths across the United States. The DEA reports that as much as 1/3 of all cocaine in the US is tainted. Researchers show that in invertebrates levamisole appears to synergize with cocaine, increasing effects

Effects of cocaine go from very mild to very intense based on route of administration. Traditionally, coca is used buccally as a bolus with mineral lime, or orally, as a tea infusion from leaves. As a white powder, it is most often insufflated. When smoked or injected intravenously, the effects tend towards euphoric rushing and strong physical stimulation.
