(22,143 posts)I've been around coke a whole lot in my life but I've never met a single person that shoots it up. Same with meth, though I've been around that less frequently. Those two are typically snorted.
Heroin is much more likely to be shot but with the quality that's out today, it too is more often snorted than it used to be. Same with Oxys.
And most people that do coke are not addicts, it's not really an addictive drug. It's very recreational and is usually done strategically to ward off severe drunkenness. The jonesers and addicts are not typical in drug culture, they're anomalies. But the squares all think the guy on the news that went nuts is how everyone reacts when they party, it's kind of funny really.
I'm personally against meth because it's all poisonous chemical, there's nothing natural about it unlike weed, coke and even heroin.
The biggest problem that I've seen with it is that it keeps you awake too long and you don't eat, that's what leads people to become paranoid, delusional and unhealthy more than anything.
All of these things can be used safely if they're done responsibly. Some people just aren't capable of doing that though and those are the people that shouldn't touch any of it. You really have to know yourself.
