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.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
