It's not possible to be addicted to something the first time you try it. It is not.
Yeah, the first time I did coke I wanted to do more and spent a lot of money too. That's normal. That's not addiction.
Craving is not addiction.
Cocaine withdrawal has no physical symptoms.
Cocaine's half-life is so short that it is difficult to become addicted.</div>
Yeah, I have to agree with you. I used to mess around with coke in middle school until I ran out of money for it. I didn't experience practically any withdrawl effects though, just the psychological pain of not being able to get any more. Now heroin, there's a drug that's addicting, because you depend on it to just feel normal after time. You have to take more and more to just feel fixed, and you don't even get the high anymore. If you don't take it, you feel like you've got a really bad cold and start to have really severe physical withdrawl effects. If anyone out there is struggling with that right now (which I think some of you might be, because knowing myself, it makes you want to drop out of society and become all reclusive, staying on the internet on sites like JBB), then I strongly recommend subutex. That drug truly saved my life. It made it so that my cravings just became mental and were no longer physical.
