Crack cocaine has additives galore. Sodium bicarbonate, and whatever other household additived they have added to it.Considering much of it has been boiled in a spoon with a small amount of cocaine you dont know what your getting.\n\nPure cocane is different, thats why its more expensive. It dosent mean its safer or less addictive.\n\nSo if your getting crack, your alreads stupid enough to be smoking a cocaine bi-product.

Just another Nanny Culture scam!  The beaurocrats have decreed that we should be told, through advertisements that are costing someone, probably taxpayers, that alcohol and tobacco are bad for us.  I believe it is done through the taxes on the alcohol and tobacco.  Anyway, a bunch of advertising execs have gotten a lot of money, some models and photographers, and what have you got?  In-your-face ads that things you already know are hazardous and must be used in moderation are bad for you.  I don't smoke tobacco and I seldom drink alcohol, but do you believe any of this has been influenced by those idiot ads?

No because digestive acid has a lower pH than coke.  Also, the coke would enter the bloodstream.

When the mega succesful Coca Cola company took a product that had already proved successful in the USA and launched it in the UK in 2004, what could go wrong?\n\nBut Dasani bottled water lasted just 5 weeks before being withdrawn, the failed launch cost them many millions, made them a laughing stock, and stopped the roll-out in other European countries.\n\nSee this BBC Business story for what went wrong and laugh. (or do I mean weep?) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3809539.stm\n\nand\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3566233.stm

As with most other habit-forming drugs, frequent use of cocaine causes the user to focus mainly on the high received from that drug, and other needs take a lower priority (sometimes much lower).  In this case, a cocaine user might be more concerned with the high from the cocaine that he or she uses it to "replace" most of his or her food intake.  Even basic personal hygiene, such as bathing and brushing one's teeth, might be lower on their list of priorities because in their minds: "They gotta have that high!"\n\nAs with other things in life, misinformation can really prove detrimental.  It's sad to see the way some people fall into traps like this, with very minimal chances of getting out.

How specific do you want them to be?  Heart rate is pretty individual, you know.\nAnyway, I'm sure all drug withdrawal symptoms are just awful but if you read the articles (links below), they all say that with cocaine, the symptoms aren't as bad as for most drugs.\nI don't know if that's a good thing, but that wasn't the question.

yeah because cocaine is prob one of the worst.. they are both class a drugs but out of the 2 speed is better. It doesnt have any come downs but it is very dangerous as it makes you hard speed up and if your body reacts you can die. Cocaine changed you hole personality. My ex boyfriend got himself in so much trouble though it.... he owes money to big people. It starts off as harmless fun every now and again but its addicitive and hard to get off.\n\nTry and make them stop everything.. drugs are illegal for a reason. I know that sounds boring and goodie goodie but trust me, i know people whos lives have gone so bad through drugs. I live in a society where drugs are a normal weekend thing... my friends are so different when they do this, and i cant bare to be around them. They look depserate all fighting over the last sniff or tablet! its horrible

One thing i can tell u is that it is highly addictive and expensive habit. If u snot coke it goes straight to your brain. Also, if your an avid sniffer u can damage your nose tissue. Cocaine will actually eat away the tissue in your nose. Play At Your Own Risk!!!

No. The simple answer to debunk this is that Cocaine was around well before the creation of the CIA. \n\nDid you know that Coca-Cola had cocaine in it briefly before caffeine only? See end of answer.\n\nAs for Crack cocaine:\nSmoking cocaine rocks began in the late 1970's. Rocking-up cocaine powder and smoking it was originally the method developed so distributors of cocaine could test the purity of the drug before it was purchased from the manufacturers. Crack has destroyed millions of lives since it was first introduced to the streets of America. Crack is a relatively new drug on the scene compared to drugs like opium or heroin; nonetheless, it has been part of our history and culture for nearly 150 years.\n\n(http://www.cocaineaddiction.com/cocaine_hist.html)\n\nBottom line: conspiracy theories are almost always wrong. If the basic premise is false then the rest must also be false.\n~~~\nBirth of Coca Cola:\nThe soft drink was first sold to the public at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886.\n\nAbout nine servings of the soft drink were sold each day. Sales for that first year added up to a total of about $50. The funny thing was that it cost John Pemberton over $70 in expanses, so the first year of sales were a loss.\n\nUntil 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, ***contained extracts of cocaine*** as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut.\n~~~

of course they would not have it on the market after all these years if it was safe\njust like they took those harmful cigarettes off the market, oh wait....\n\nthe sweetener is not good (may be linked to cancer) and does screw up your metabolism, too much caffeine can cause serious problems (heart, calcium deficiency) and even the carbonation is not good for you (drinking the stuff actually dehydrates you)\nall that being said I am addicted to the new Coke Zero

Better to avoid either.  High doses of refined sugar can lead to obesity and diabetes.  Artifical sweeteners lead to liver, kidney, stomach, circulatory system and mucous membrane problems. Pick your disease!\n\nI suggest you drink low doses of real sugar pop because won't harm your body as much.  Remember that coke has phosphoric acid, a powerful inorganic acid that if consumed in quantities can give you the ulcer of a lifetime, believe me, been there.
