It's making a comeback like in the 80's.

Not glamorous.

Drugs aren't my thing at all, but I cannot see the point in this one above all

What's worse is meth. Meth not only drags the person into hell, it sends the loved ones around them there too. I guess I just think it's worse because a lot of old friends have succumbed to it and it's ruined their lives.

I hear you mate

I mentioned Cocaine cause it's so widespread. Everyone takes it like it's candy/sweets. I despise it. It makes peope obnoxious

the most useless drug ever, right?

Has anyone EVER seen this add to someones personality?

A horrible, horrible invention. Expensive, useless, and the choice of arseholes

I hate cocaine, never used it and don´t plan on doing so but as far as I know, there are at least a dozen good reasons why someone would rather use cocaine instead of any other drug.People use it for sex, for stamina, for creativity and to boost energy levels. Sure, they pay a high price and turn into idiots but still, they have their reasons for using it.

I don't see it turn people into idiots at all...and yes, a lot of people use it when they drink to give them their energy back - like others do with say a redbull.

What I do dislike about it is how addicted I see people get to it and how they spend all their money on it.

La Paz, Bolivia, is home to a lounge called Route 36. The bar often gets noise complaints from neighbors and rarely stays open in one location for more than a few months at a time. But backpackers from around the world give it superlative reviews:

“Everyone knows about this place,” says Jonas, a backpacker who arrived two days earlier. “My mate came to Bolivia last year and he said, ‘Route 36 is the best lounge in all of South America.’… [Said another,] ”I travelled the world for nine months, and for sure La Paz was the craziest city and Route 36 the best bar of my entire trip.”

On the surface, it probably looks like a lame scene: the jukebox only plays “Americana” and “Jump Around,” all anyone wants to talk about is photography, college, and how hot it is, and forget even trying to get into the bathroom. But Route 36 does serve something most bars don’t. Can you guess? Don’t read the post title, it will give it away.

It’s cocaine. The freshest cocaine in the world, straight from the Andes! (Like how Coors Light comes from the Rockies, they harvest cocaine from the Andes.)

Each table has candles and a stash of bottled water, plus whatever mixers one cares to add to your drink. In the corner, a pile of board games includes chess, backgammon, and Jenga, the game in which a steady hand pulls out bricks from a tower of blocks until the whole pile collapses. If it weren’t for the heads bobbing down like birds scouring the seashore for food, you would never know that huge amounts of cocaine were being casually ingested. There’s a lot of mingling from table to table.

En fuego metaphor there, see, because instead of eating food, they are eating cocaine. With their noses. Also, ridiculous choice of board games. Jenga? Sounds like basically the field sobriety test for cocaine. ”Sure officer, let me just remove this small precariously positioned wooden piece from this tower and– GODD*MN IT! GODD*MMMMIT! [slaps Jenga tower down.] Where the f*ck is my bubblegum? [quiet sobbing, followed by high-pitched laughter.]“

Apparently the stuff is purer than an angelic infant soundly asleep and costs less, too: only about $20 for a gram. The bartender done seen some stories in his day:

“We had some Australians; they stayed here for four days. They would take turns sleeping and the only time they left was to go to the ATM.”

I’ll bet those guys were way fun to hang out with on that fourth day.

I have seen it turn many people into boring assholes, but the usefullness or uselessness of any drug can't be easily decided by people who aren't using it

Fuck cocaine.

If I could just get rid of my addiction to table sugar, I'll be happy.

I know very little about narcotics. But I thought the mix of coke and alcohol was particularly lethal.

I've never heard that... usually they go hand in hand. One cancels the other out so to speak, being a stimulant and a depressant...
