[ferrthepeace]

Cocaine showers.

[subie1987]

doc got paid by gov to make this great speech...so they can make money lolol

[KedViper]

Did anyone else see the depressing ad with the little girl who had cancer?

[jmh40831]

I'm guessing u smoke all day just to get burnt out to fall asleep huh

[MrGuitartramp]

Coke users are Morons! Pepsi users are nice people!

[jmh40831]

I havent lost n e weight i still have a big apetite lol... I only use it on the weekends..buying gram or gram n half bags

[jmh40831]

I first tried cocaine when i was only 14.. n used it once in while through out my teenage years... Once i hit 19 i stoped for a lil longer than 2 years since i was into weight lifting n strict dieting.. i recently relapsed in july with small 20 dollar amounts every other week..than started doin it dvery week...now i buy gram bags just to sastify my needs.. spending about 50 to a 100 dollars a week on powder... N i hate to say it but i am officially hooked to cocaine..smh

[hippie2152]

@jmh40831 I'm the same way dude. Shit, I'm wired right now.

[mostliberal]

@jmh40831 I spend 70-140 dollars a week on weed. When I don't, I throw up and stay up for up to 2 days, regardless of how many downers I take, and even if I take combinations of downers, I don't sleep.

[xXleliixX]

Wow I get sweaty for

No reason I sleep a lot I lost weight I sniffle and have a runny nose in the morning

If you didn't know me you would think I that I do drugs cocaine but I don't I'm drug free

I do and have everything this guy just said except the stealing and the economic stuff

And it's true ppl that don't know me think I do drugs

But my friends know that I would never even attempt to cause I am so against the whole idea

[anthonynumber12]

Stealing and doin drugs are 2 different topics, Just because someone is on coke doesent mean they are gunna be a theif, I know people who spend 500 bucks a week on powder and they dont steal it

[irock1839]

yeah, i'd really love to party with THIS guy

[redmuddr]

It was just a joke

[axkillaneox]

@redmuddr how often?

[johnyjmuniz]

if ur nose bleeds, its way 2 cut up. find a better dealer!

[richter75]

why not talk about some negative facts`? Ive used coke for a year. Who care about signs?

[youdevil6]

@Lolololsomeguy They tell ya it'll kill ya, but they don't tell you when

[murphyhurtme]

cocaine contains vitamins b through d. can you really afford not to have your daily allowance of these? smoking crack is a good way to get enough fiber in your diet.

[HondurasHD]

@sixksense You are totally right, I apologize for being stupid.

[SuperDrugless]

@sixksense

Cocaine on top of allergies, nice one.

[SuperDrugless]

@WeSmokeTheGanja

It also make you very angry...

[TheJellyfishlion]

@SuperDrugless YES it does..... I can ALWAYS tell when my husband is using- even tho he lies & says he isnt...

[Annazayla]

@SwissHardstyle Don't worry about alcoholics...that is not what this video is about.

[stfwho]

I must be on cocaine tho... i sniffle a lot, and have runny noses in the cold, got bloodshot eyes, my sleeping and eating isn't very strict, and I've lost weight since I started working out. OH NOEZ I MUST BE A COKE HEAD

[LadyofWar1980]

I knew a guy that had the worst studder when he got geeked up on powder. It was hilarious!

[crabpal5]

I love getting on the powdered dream

[Boote99]

@WeSmokeTheGanja i agree with you. I have friends that use cocaine, i personally have no disire at all to snort anything and i don't plan on using it. As long as it is being used as a weekend drug, it is fun and basically harmless. It is those frequent users that have a lot of trouble quitting and end up with problems.

[whitesongs73]

@Boote99 l

I agree with you. I think that quitting for good is a problem for many.

[Annazayla]

@Boote99 That is where you are wrong.....it's never good to use such a drug as cocaine on the "weekends." How can a drug that caused heart attacks and ruins the lungs and brain "harmless?" Do your research before making such statements because, I know first hand.

[lolex169]

every1 say smokin weed is nothing , but u smoke joint half weed half cigar and cigar is pwning you :(

[Tozzmozz]

I have 90% of the signs but I never did coke.

[whitesongs73]

@Tozzmozz

Not even Diet? LOL

[legolas9007]

@WeSmokeTheGanja Amen! there are many recreational users that have lots self control and know what they are doing.

[SayberV1]

@adoulti the thing is sex and masturbation is actually good for you

[brit7588]

@reno573  haha thats so funny, I think I am going to steal that. :)

[mmamolina]

@ChristianLopez4 whether a drug is natural or not is not the issue. cocaine comes from a plant. It is natural unless it's cut. Heroin and opium are natural. Marijuana just so happens to be a harmless(if not smoked) and non-addicting (addiction is a physical dependency/illness) substance. Either way, as human beings, it is our RIGHT to choose what we put in our bodies. If we hurt others then that is when punishment should be required.

[bithog]

@mmamolina I agree with this but......what if you are hurting loved ones emotionally ?Say a person became addicted to a heavy substance and everyone who cared and loved that person is affected in a negative way (stress worry, afraid, money/items stolen and so on). Should the addicted person pay for what he has done to those people? Should he be forced to get help?

[shadowalker00]

@bithog why would this family put them on guilt trip?

[mmamolina]

@bithog Well, that person owns their own body. Those people don't HAVE to stick around. I don't like seeing loved ones abuse hard drugs but they own their bodies, not me.

[mmamolina]

@versace1118 That's not scientifically supported at all.

[mjjcng8958]

@ChristianLopez4 weed will give you cancer dont be fooled. you are inhaling alot more tar into you longs than a cigarette. smoke weed long enough and you'll start having hallucinations

[mmamolina]

@mjjcng8958 Hallucinations??? That is factually incorrect. Yes, it may contain more tar, but the "tar" is rly the oils from the plant. It just so happens that the oils in marijuana are different than those in tobacco. tobacco tar has nicotine and other carcinogens. Marijuana tar does not.

[karimmaged90]

how long does it take to be a cocaine addict

[cripbuddz]

@Lolololsomeguy hahaha. funny guy

[websuspect]

Geeking out, anxious rapid speaking. Anxious to get things done, get money. Always in a hurry.

[screamolives]

So true :)

[TubeVicarious]

"Addictionologist." LOL.

[misspetedoherty]

The doc forgot nasal perforation, lost of whealingness, paranoia, hallucinations, lost of time repairs which lead to beeing late to work or appointments, lost of responsabilities, and depression !!!!..... For all I know !

[thedirtynasty]

@misspetedoherty

I would definitely take depression, hallucinations, loss of willingness, loss of responsibility and time misconception out of there.

Thats completely the person that causes those things not the drug.

[tehmaninblack]

@misspetedoherty I agree with thedirtynasty

cokeheads can and many times do remain productive people up-keeping stressful schedules.

[JSnyder49428]

wait a minute, sniffling and runny nose, sudden bursts of energy followed by periods of longer than usual sleep, stealing, financial problems. I've got it! ALL mischevious jobless teens with allergies must be using cocaine!!

[blakehutube]

@jpabelis ahah

[kalashnikov0906]

all well and good unless youve got plenty of cash to blow on blow! haha

[lever20065]

frequent sniffling lol

[Papsmeas]

This guy does not know what he's talking about. Obviously he never tried it himself.

[mdcombs79]

I found the Cure for addictions! I've been free from a life of being in the chains of my addictions. I've sought help from many people and many programs, but none of them truly freed me. It's not until now that I have experienced a Lasting Hope, Joy, and Peace in my life that I have never even come close to experiencing. Not only that, but 100s of people I know personally are seeing the same thing. Click on my name for proof if you don't believe me. You can be Cured!

[strek0655]

Sorry Kim Makoi, but you are NOT a certified Doctor!

[RUInternational]

everyone deserves more chances i life then get. god is the way to this freedom from the bondage of addiction!

[zitianaki]

so is heroin just a plant we should legalize that also? even a recreational user i am still against it being legal, if they burnt every last bit of it i would be happy

[zitianaki]

exactly :)

[zitianaki]

:) not really i start and stop all the time i dont get hooked ever, ill stop for years then start again for a few months non stop then stop again

[reno573]

cocaine is never a solution.

Unless of course, you dissolve it in water.

[zitianaki]

it does smell good

[reno573]

i wouldnt know m8, ill take your word 4 it.

[zitianaki]

good. i wish i never touched it either

[dustypork]

Hit the nail on the head, especially when he mentioned financial problems.

It's a rich persons drug that poor people take also.

[zitianaki]

@dustypork its not expenssive 40 a gram is expenssive?

[Ticonio]

@zitianaki but if you take it, the you'll see that 1 gram is not enough...take care

[zitianaki]

i used to snort it and then the first time i did not even feel it but the more i did it the more i wanted.. where 4 grams for one night was ok and i would of done more if my nose was not so stuffed that it was impossible to snort more or my dealer did not want to come sell me more so i understand, its been over 6 years since i touched it and i am glad i stopped before any real damage happened

[Ticonio]

@zitianaki I can imagine...

[TheRPM87]

4 to 6 DAYS

[jude1871]

I suggest you look among your collegues for the same symptoms. It's a well known fact that professional students take stimulants to get through school. I know this medical student who smoked two packs a day in order to get through medical school.

[pixelated111]

lol how ironic. this medical student would have learned about the bad affect of cocaine through his studies while he was high on it. and he knew better!

[pixelated111]

oops i read your comment wrong. well same principle except it was cigarettes

[time4beats]

SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HondurasHD]

Well then I have to thank the media and ex drug users for stopping me to live my beautiful life with drugs. You should have a talk with ex drug users. But if you are and addict or occasional user probably you would not do it. Because is your way to escape from reality.

[sebaz1982]

i guess we dont need a special breakfast , special lunch, special dinner anymore? just milk and crackers in the morning and water and meat in the evening. of course combined with vegetables. then you really know how you can live your beautiful life without all those un-nescessary things. but you probably would not, as you need all those things to escape your reality etc...

sighhhhhhhh yawnnnnnnnn

they got you programmed very good! well it seems ur being the good fella now, so keep it up haha

[HondurasHD]

If you like the cocaine, keep on do in it, it your life, not mine. If this is your way to feel good about life and yourself, then do it daily. I will continue drinking milk and eating veggies. Milk does a body good.

[HondurasHD]

Hahahaha, you are so funny, cocaine use ONLY lead you to reconstructive surgery. Thanks for the recommendation.

[HondurasHD]

Is funny how cocaine users have any excuse to justify is use, but someday we will pay the price of our actions, that is for sure.

[mmamolina]

@HondurasHD cocaine is an effective and cost efficient general anesthetic. Yes. people pay the price for the harm they do to THEMSELVES. If they hurt any third parties, then that is when they should be punished.

[LEANDROCBA92]

@HondurasHD i think , they cant justify the use of cocaine, because cocaine adicts or users, need cocaine, because the abstinence syndrome is one of the harders along with heroin, the desire of having cocaine againg its so powerfull, that if they dont get cocaine when they want, they can fall in a dangerous depression along with other physical symptoms. Once you try cocaine, there are many chances that you have the desire to try that drug again.

[Annazayla]

@LEANDROCBA92 EXTACTLY.

[akcampbell]

i have all those symptoms besides weight loss and I don't use coke lol

[Lamentfordeath]

You obviously have never been around an actual drug addict. These symptoms are quite noticeably different, especially when different behavioral patterns emerge from ones normal habits.

[akcampbell]

i have 2 coworkers who go through an 8-ball of beth every 3-4 days. I suppose they're just doing it and not actually addicted though, because you said so.

[Lamentfordeath]

Im not going to start an argument here on youtube, especially concerning people I dont know. besides, I have no idea what your stance is on this topic.

[lalo41388]

how long does cocaine stays in ur system ?

[Lamentfordeath]

It various as to how long, but these are general expectations.

Cocaine is expected to be present in the body for 72 hours since its intake

Cocaine is expected to be detected in your urine for 1-3 days since its intake provided the intake is only once

Habituated use of cocaine results in traces of cocaine being detected in urine for up to 12 weeks.

Cocaine is said to be retained in your hair for a period of 3 months since its intake.

[mikeyaaa]

not long enough

[lunchboxgarcia]

I use it once in a while, what does that have to do with my comment, the cocaine must have fried your brain since I don't think you've really read my statement.

[dcarterfrom07]

hahaha probably so..... i just dont see how anyone in their right mind can compare alcohol to coke... its like apple and oranges

[lunchboxgarcia]

A) they are both addictive substances

B) they are bothused recreationally and abused often.

C) people die from over consumation

However a lot more people die from alochal abuse actually, that it what i was getting at, not the effects of each drug.

[dcarterfrom07]

hahaha u cant compare the addictive nature of cocaine to alcohol... u sound very naive in that respect.... ure not gonna to need nasal reconstructive surgery in a few months if u abuse alcohol.... the only reason more people die from alchohol abuse is bcuz its legal and many many more people will experiment with alcohol at a young age than will with coke.... ure not gonna push that famous hippie argument "lets compare every drug to alcohol" on an ex druggie like myself... so... anyway.... peace

[lunchboxgarcia]

It is definately a dangerous drug because of it's obvious recreational purposes, but no worse than alcohol abuse, or constant partying of any kind. In fact the number of people who show up in the ER over Cocaine overdoses is minimal to the amount of money tax payers fork out for the extended hand of alcoholism. I'm not condoning it at all, but I think as an illegal street drug it is far more dangerous with unkown additives and by products than something pure u might buy in columbia for 10 dollar

[Lamentfordeath]

If cocaine was as accessible as alcohol alcoholism would take a back seat. Plus you can drink a beer just for the taste and experience no side affects, cocaine on the other hand is completely different.

[leder89]

@lunchboxgarcia LOL MAN ! You are only trusting your own dreams.

Wine isn’t made out of javel, sulfuric acid nor kerosene. (Neither is Rhum says my psychological mate)

[FearLessLife1]

To American Eagle, dont leave her until u have tried to help in every way. think about your name . We dont leave or retreat we fight for what we believe in . Eagles sore to a hieght that buzzards cant reach. If you leave her you will reinforce her negative beliefs . Let her see u hold beleifs in her that she has lost. She is not doing drugs on purpose to hurt you she is doing them because she is hurting. KNOW THIS EVEN EAGLES NEED A PUSH TO LEAVE THE NEST - THE MOTHER KNOWS THIS.

[FearLessLife1]

There are some very effective amino acids that can help people who have addictions. Most dont know why they are addicted in the 1st place. You Brain works off of chemical balances or unbalances.. The reason people get on drugs is because the feel bad and have anxiety or depression issues. The drug is a quick repeatative fix. I will be happy to pass on over 7 yrs of my research. I use to own a Pharmceutical co. and sold it. I now help people help themselves if there on drug or not. Just ask.

[Snowgoon420361987]

thanks, tips

[snowsbeauty5]

I'm sorry to hear ur sorry americanE.When someone is on drugs there isn't anything that will stop them,not anything!They have to want to stop.Nothing u can do or say will help.All ur love for them will not help. All u can do is take care of yourself.Drug addicts r very selfish,it's all about them and what they want.If u stay around they will drag u down with them.U will be sad,crying,lonely,you'll feel like nobody really understands etc..Get away,move towards positive healthy people.xox

[americaneagle1967]

snow

I hate to admit it but you have discribed exactly what Im going thru..and she seems to keep meeting people with the same addictions all the time..coke and pain pills..I am at a loss

[shtoli]

You can be up for days if you use coke, you just use it continualy. Its brobably not meth because after you use meth for a while you stop snorting it and either parachute it or smoke it. Just confront her about man, she your wife you gotta take care of her bro. best of luck

[americaneagle1967]

shtoli

thanks,I have tried very hard to get off that crap,nothing works..Im gonna have to leave her I guess..

[ley98]

Thats scary that your wife might be on it. She could be on meth which is even worse then coke. Cocaine generally dosent keep you up for days on end so it might be meth. I would really look into the matter. Either one of those drugs are from the devil. I wish you luck

[americaneagle1967]

Ley98

it could be meth,but she keeps a running nose and stiffles 24/7 and is up for days,when she does sleep its for like 24 hrs straight

[americaneagle1967]

I think my wife is on it,I keep finding cut straws in places they shouldnt be..she sniffles 24/7 never sleeps,when she does it for atleast 24 hrs..she came into some money and its all nearly gone..I dont know what to do

[TheJellyfishlion]

@americaneagle1967 I aam in your spot.. please tell me what you did?!
