> Music is an interesting one for me. Cocaine seems to _change_ just how I hear music. I’ve theorized before that it’s because the stimulant effects are heightening your hearing and the individual components of the music are heard, whereas normally you’d just hear the effects that those combined components produce. I don’t know if that makes any sense but it’s the closest I could do.

How about “Music is heard from a different point of view than your used to”?

Put it in a PIE? God knows.

If I want to ingest it, I rub the end of my unlit cigarette around in the leavings and then smoke it. And then skim up anything left on a forefinger and rub it on my gums.

Yeah, well, all hobbies aren’t pretty.

Poor poor **Precious Snowflake**. Are you sad again? Sorry that we don’t live up to your high expectations. :(:(:(☹

If you don’t want to be called names, _then stay out of the Pit you stupid fucking troll._ Nobody gives half a shit about what you have to say.

Coke is fun, but a nice hit of ecstacy? Now we’re talking.

That’s reasonable. I’ve always attributed my remarkable ear for good music to excessive marijuana consumption in my teens and twenties.

Cocaine certainly gives a different perspective. It’s good for heavy beats and dancing rather than complex jazz or serious classical music, though.

I can’t respond to this properly without it being a YUUUUUUUGE hijack from CosmicMoron’s idiocy.

Short answer is that I agree, but with a lot of caveats.

I think that’s another way of saying exactly what I said. So yes, that’s probably a more succinct way to say it.

Damn. Well-played, I’ll give you that. Anyway, now I’m beginning to see why my post caused such an uproar here. I was more abrasive and polemical than I needed to be, yes, but evidently you guys are a bunch of fucking cokeheads _yourselves_ LOL!!

I was a big fan of many, many party drugs while in my twenties. Addiction can be debated but I never fucked over anyone in my pursuit of a good time. So his “wise” advice is far from universal, I would say.

Obviously, anyone who has _ever_, even once, willingly brought that Satanic soul-poisoning evil into their constitutions, they are **fucking cokeheads!!** and should be regarded as such forever in perpetuity. If that is what he means.

He saw it on _Intervention_, so it must be true! There’s no way TV producers would ever lie to us! I’m waiting for the new series of _young people try some stuff and have some fun for a bit then get bored and go on with their lives._ I hear it is GRIPPING!
