Resolved Question: Connection between sex and cocaine use ?
Serious Please- Ok, if im used to getting a lot of sex and then i get cut off and then my addiction reared its head again would it make sense that maybe it’s not the addiction to cocaine but to the chemicals that are released during sex and the use of cocaine similarities? As in dopamine,endorphins and adrenaline.
I’m not justifying the illegal use of cocaine, just the body looking for the chemicals that was used to, like a withdraw or something.
Easier said then done, for sex. It’s not important till your not getting any.
I’m not looking for rehab. I’m asking if people know and understand the pleasure center in the brain. Maybe this is too deep.
Voting Question: Is it possible to one day make drugs safe?
Could medical science somehow engineer substances like heroin and cocaine, to give you the euphoria without nasty side effects and addiction?

Resolved Question: Views on obesity and food addiction.?
Ok so most Christians view addiction to heroin, cocaine etc as sinful and bad. But gluttony is one of the deadly sins and obviously obesity fits here. How can anyone be a soldier of Christ or whatever religion if they cannot even take care of themselves?
I managed to piss off Christians and non Christians. I didn’t say I was Christian, I do how ever work at a drug rehab center and the instillation of faith is part of all AA treatments, I was more interested in gauging how people felt about fat Christians telling others how to live, and when it would become just as shunned as having an addiction to heroin.
I was merely pointing out another hypocrisy.
Resolved Question: Modafinil and cocaine?
Does anybody have experience using the two simultaneously? I have got into a predicament in which I have aquired the two in Mexico, and I have a limited time to get rid of (use) both. I know that one can be used to help with cocaine addiction, but is it adviseable to just use up one, and then go to the other, or what? I was just wondering if anyone had similar combinations of the two and how they felt upon using both together. The thing is I have to fly out from DF to Canada in a week and I certainly am not going to bring either of the two across customs.
Thanks!
BTW, don’t spend your time trying to accumulate points by saying how bad coke is, I want suggestions, not criticism.
