I have. The first time was at the cast party of my first musical, when I was 17. My bf and I smoked a joint that we were later informed was a “cocoa puff.” A very wide-awake buzz.

Several other times, I’ve come across a guy with coke, and we’d snort. It never did anything to me. If only, it made the guy in question impotent. Crytstal Meth had the same non-effect on me.

AFAIC, it’s a waste of time, at least for me. At least I never paid for it. I’d rather smoke a doob and pop a clonazepam or two.

I tried it a hand full of times in the mid-80’s. I snorted it, smoked it off of the top of a bong hit and free based it one time. I didn’t really like it all that much. Unfortunately, I know a few people who liked it a whole lot. It seriously fucked up their lives. That shit is evil.

Yes, many times. I actually really liked it, especially smoking it. Putting it on the top of a cig and smoking it was my favorite. I also was heavily into speed. Thankfully nothing became an addiction for me and I stopped when I wanted to, but I know people who got incredibly addicted to it and wasted years of their lives on it.

Nope. Never had an interest, never tried it, and so far as I can tell, never will.

Nope. I was offered it once many years ago and took a pass.

“I never snorted cocaine and I never will! But my friend Duane did, and he told me all the stuff that’s in this book!”

Seriously…Cocaine use is an illegal act and having people cop to it is not cool. I’ll just close this thread now.
