Cocaine really isn’t very harmful to your body. Fifteen minutes of a mild euphoric stimulant and then you’re sober. It’s not particularly addictive either. It just has a weird reputation as a “hard” drug from movies and people that believe them.
It’s the upper-class drug of choice, and there’s a reason for that. It’s also probably the most expensive drug by dollar-per-high-minutes, which is the real reason it should be avoided
- DiskoHexyl 2y agoCardio toxicity cannot be ignored, especially in the typical context of consuming cocaine- dehydration, high amount of physical activity and sleep deprivation. Any stimulant is potentially harmful, especially one as powerful as this. Even ephedrine, which is considered relatively mild, is actually dangerous. And that's if you don't consider risks that are inherent to the drug's price- cocaine is expensive and thus frequently isn't too pure, to say the least. Pretty obvious how it affects its side-effect profile
- dontupvoteme 2y agoCocaine when mixed with Ethanol (which is fairly common) creates Cocaethylene which is quite cardiotoxic and apparently increases risk of sudden death by 18-25x. Obviously millions of people still do it and get away with it (otherwise England would be much less populated) but strictly speaking Amphetamine is probably safer for uppers.
