Coke question regarding health.

[Kepp]

I've done coke a few times, but I don't really know much about it. When you rail coke, how much is it damageing your nose? Will the damage heal? Does coke hurt your body in other ways?
Also, how much coke is too much to do at a time? How much can cause an overdose, and what exactly is an overdose? Can it kill you?
Thanks alot for any help provided. I don't think I'll do anymore before I know more about it.

When you rail coke, how much is it damageing your nose?
This depends largely on the quality of the cocaine. Coke that has been cut with something mildly caustic will obviously do more damage than coke which is cut with something safer. Of course pretty much anything goes up your nose will do some damage, but only very heavy use will lead to significant problems.

Does coke hurt your body in other ways?
Cocaine binges can lead to a distorted sleep pattern and eating habbits. This can lead to losing alot of weight, which can be unhealthy. Cocaine withdrawals are not very kind to your body either, so to not let it get to that stage is the best.

how much coke is too much to do at a time? How much can cause an overdose, and what exactly is an overdose? Can it kill you?
How much cocaine is used depends on who you are, body weight, first timer and your tolerance. Though tolerance in casual users is not really a problem. An over dose is a subjective thing, having too much and not feeling too well could be called an overdose, though, you would need quite a bit of coke to overdose. 2 grams of cocaine, intraveanously administered to a 150 pound (68.2kgs), will kill 50% of people it is administered to. As you can see that is quite alot of coke to be taken intraveanously, so a lethal cocaine overdose is quite unlikely.

Though it is best to play it safe, and don't use anything more than you are comfortable with. Good luck with it.

great advice, I think he pretty much sums it up. I did a bunch of coke this past friday. It's fun, but not really worth the cash or the penalty if you were to get busted somehow. I have a bunch of friends who seem to be getting really into it. It really worries me, every once in awhile is one thing, but when you start making it a normal thing there's a problem.

ive done big lines and got a nosebleed right afterwards, so im going to go out on a limb here and say no, its not good for your health. still doesnt change the fact that i would do another one as soon as my nose stopped bleeding though.

When your nose starts bleeding, that's your body telling you to switch to the other nostril.

Prolonged use damages the nose (google Daniella Westbrooke and Cocaine). You gotta take it steady with the stuff, just a line every so often will keep you buzzin nicely. A gramme with a mate would be a good start if your gonna buy some. I only have a dabble if its going around.
