Coke Problem

A distant relative of mine (call him "Fred") has a drug problem. And old friend shot me an email out of the blue and asked if I had heard from "Fred." Friend says Fred "snorts coke all the time" and is impossible to be around. Driving everyone nuts.

I avoid Fred at all costs because he does drive people nuts. When i have been around him he drinks and smokes pot and I think does some pharma stuff. Possible mental issues

Fred also got an inheritence recently and isn't gainfully employed so that is my first worry that he is flushing his $$ away.

I guess my question is what to expect. I have never done coke and the only folks I have been around that did it were banker types with lots of money. Didn't seem to be ruining any lives.

What say you?

It's different for different people. Sometimes coke can be like sprinting to your downfall, sometimes it's easily handled. I have friends that use it every weekend, and they do fine in school and everything. I have friends who do it every weekend who are failing school and have no job. It has a worse impact on those will already self-destructive tendencies.

I'd say if he has possible mental issues, then coke is definitely not going to help. It may make any potential delusions he has manifest before him. It's impossible to tell exactly what will happen, but those two do not mix well.

When you see "Fred", talk loudly and move your hands around a lot. Blink as fast and as much as you possibly can. Make lots of sudden movements and everytime you enter or leave a room flash the light switch on and off 3-4 times.

Well for me the only thing that cocaine does is make me want more cocaine while providing some mild euphoria and increased heart rate. The main effect though is just wanting more cocaine. Thus if he is affected at all like myself then his inheritance is as good as gone.

Note: Only have done it one time and after observing the effects decided I'd never do it again.

reminds me of this.....I'm not addicted to coke, I just really like the smell!!!

I too have never tried anything more than an innocent toke, sooo many years ago, so I have no idea. I do think though that drugs are generally bad and make good people do bad/stupid things!

Coke is serious. There is a reason it's highly addicitive and causes lots of damage to the person and those around them.

Don't know how much this guy listens or his track record on being compulsive in other area's of his life but as for that money, it can vanish very quickly.

I have done enough to know it ain't good.

I had a sociology prof get into a huge argument/debate with me over coke. This idiot said it was recreational. I just laughed out loud. Asked her if she ever did coke and what neighborhood does she live in.

Needless to say I was no longer in that class a week later.

Good luck HP. If you can speak your peace to this person then do it. Otherwise, that train has left the station and the only stop is a wall and you have to hope and pray they get the lesson and their rock bottom is not too far down.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own.

      Interview Tillis with Jordan Rodrigue on team building. Interesting

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan

      Something like 24 now. The first 6 minutes were fun, after that, oh man. It was cool tho, a near capacity, with both teams well supported.
