Freebase cocaine

by damian, Dec 30, 1999 12:00AM
Hello,



I am now 24 and I am an ex-cocainefreebase user. I have been clean for over two years.

Between the age of 18 and 22 I was a regular user to the point that my glass pipe was my whole world. I left North America for Europe in order to escape my addiction. I have managed to stay clean but I still experience extreme cravings (after two years of being clean!!). Moreover I experience an inability to feel pleasure, I have mood swings, lack of interest for sex, fellings of being threatened by others,etc... I understand that my addiction may have caused permanent brain changes that affect me, my emotional and coping system despite the fact that I gave been clean since 1997. Please let me know about the long-term damages my freebase addiction has caused to my brain and perceptions. Why is this evil substance still affecting me after such a long time ! PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND.



THANK YOU !!



Damian.

I was particularly interested in reading about your lack of feeling pleasure.  My ex-boyfriend was a long-term crack user and had no interest in sex.  He is in denial about it and always blamed me for it.  Thanks for validating my feelings.

I am a regular freebase and crack user which I freely admit I suffer no side effects and feel no shame. I'm sure others would have to agree that the first "kickstart" of the day makes life really worth living. One question though involving pipes, trial and improvement has found a long gauze in the neck of a minature Martell bottle with a small hole in the bottom my prefered method. If anyone has any other ideas about glass cooling or pirex I would love to know.

Nick



     I feel your comment is very ill , of course you dont see any side affect because your HIGH, I didnt feel any side effect when I was high, dose any one???? do you even care about side effect??? no , I dont think any addict or ex addict needs reminded of that kickstart, you need help. I HAVE A GREAT SUGGESTION FOR YOUR GLASS WARE BREAK IT.  I FEEL THE SIDE EFFECT NOW , LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. MABE YOU THINK YOU CAN DO DOPE ALL YOUR LIFE????  DO YOU REALLY THINK THERE WONT BE ANY SIDE EFFECT TO THAT???? BREAK IT BEFORE IT DOSE YOU..

Nick, I feel sorry for you that you are so in denial about your drug usage.  Kindly do not post questions in this forum that are clearly inappropriate.

by nope, Apr 01, 2000 12:00AM
quit preaching, you holier-than-thou fools. dont knock it 'til you've tried it, each to his own, etc etc. if you haven't been there, for one thing, you dont know what you are missing, good or bad- you dont know **** about it except the bullocks smeared around by the antidrug, drug war propagandists righty uptights with their noses in everyone's business.. and if you HAVE tried a drug, any drug, and quit.. dont get all high-and-mighty (no pun intended), it just wasnt for YOU. maybe it works for joe blow over there tho.

what kind of forum is this, anyway? do the Q & A's strictly have to pertain to kicking or what?



.smoke on.

First of all, this is an ADDICTION FORUM.  People come here with questions about addiction.  This is not a forum to advocate drug use or to ask stupid questions about the best methods for using drugs.  If you are interested in that, go to alt.drugs.hard and enjoy yourself.  Most of the people who post here either are currently addicted, have been in the past, or have friends or family who are addicts.  We can "knock it" because we HAVE tried it and seen where it leads.  If you stay in denial, one day you will find yourself needing the support of a forum like this.

i want to know the difference between freebase cocaine and cocaine.  which is more effective and what's the biggest difference.

by explorer, Aug 09, 2000 12:00AM
i have read numerous books and even more internet pages sayng things for freebase,crack and cocaine in general. God has made it and we therefore have to use it.Nick is one of the ppl that admits it.So should you....COCAINE is part of the human culture. The sideeffects start from the time you quit..

And sex?I had the best sex of my life playing with coke....did you ever tried rubbing it on a womans clit and then ******* her?
