What is Cocaine? Cocaine
Cocaine is usually sold as a powder. It can also be 'washed up' into crack cocaine, a smokable form of the drug.
The British pop artist Robbie Williams has described cocaine as God's way of letting you know you've got too much money. If a cocaine habit gets a hold of you, you don't have too much for too long.
So what's this 'ere charlie all abaht, then?
Like most drugs, cocaine comes from a plant. The coca plant. This plant grows in South America. Yes, until 1902 it was the real thing that went into that globally successful brand of soft drink. The coca content was replaced with caffeine (until the advent of caffeine-free cola). Like cocaine, caffeine is of course a stimulant drug.
If you wanted to get a buzz from the plant you'd need to chew a few leaves, and the mildly stimulant properties would give you a lift. Where it is grown and harvested, many people still do chew the leaves. The vast majority of cocaine is consumed in an entirely different way. Most people's introduction to charlie involves a tightly rolled banknote, a line of finely chopped white powder and a nostril.
sniff!
and then just for good measure, the other nostril...
sniff!
...and then a rubbing of the wetted finger over the remaining crumbs, and over the gums.
a cold, chemical, numbing taste that hovers at the back of your throat, as the high unfolds and you are your very own number one fan. Funny, happy, laughing, menacing, delightful, tough, big, scary, outrageous, saucy, sexy, flirty, dirty, giggly, groovy, nasty, fast and sparkly, towering, masterful...well, whatever you want to be, really. Confident. With a very big capital C. Full of energy. Life and soul. You are the chosen one. For as long as it lasts, which is usually a maximum of thirty minutes...
What goes up..
...and before the coke's wearing off, it's time for some more. Someone using coke over the course of an evening can start to become compulsive about needing a little bit more, a little bit more, a quick line, a little toot...high doses can cause confusion, disorientation, and a belief that having another line will sort everything out. Even after relatively small doses cocaine use can produce feelings of anxiety, irritability, depression and paranoia. High doses increase the likelihood of these after-effects.
Some people say that they can use coke and feel fine the next day. No 'hangover' at all. They like the way they get high, it wears off, they're back to normal. Not like other drugs that can leave you feeling all wired and twisted.
Everybody's different. It's just worth taking a moment to say that if you use cocaine and think the world's meaningless and full of worthless bastards who occasionally seem like they're ganging up on you, there may be a connection. Although it may mean that the world is indeed full of worthless bastards, and it might just be your turn to be picked on.
Aside from the psychological impact of the cocaine come-down, other common after effects are hunger and tiredness. As cocaine will reduce your appetite and reduce tiredness, two of the things you are probably unlikely to do if you're using cocaine are eat properly and sleep.
And so, my dear Watson, pray tell...
What risks have we found here, Sir?
Regular cocaine use will lead to interrupted sleep patterns, anxiety and paranoia. It can cery quickly become a reinforcing cycle of behavior regularly using cocaine might find themselves feeling unwilling or unable to cope in a particular context unless they've had some charlie. It might be a work, home or social context, or another context, or several contexts...they might get stressed out and irritable when they're not using. Occasional weekend 'social' use might become regular weekend use, if a party seems to go with less of a 'bang' if charlie's not in the picture. Someone using every weekend can soon start to find that the weekdays become something to get through until the next weekend. And the weekend starts earlier. And lasts longer. Pretty soon you're having a quick blast in the pub on a Wednesday, or before an important meeting that you want to be on top form for, or whatever other reason you've found to absolutely reasonably justify to yourself that this is not a problem, I'm in control here, and it's just a little something to help me get through the day and it's not like I inject or anything. It's not like I get ill here. I mean, shit, it's no different to smoking a cigarette really.
bang. gotcha.
And of course it's not inevitable. It's just really easy, if you can afford it. For some people, they know they've had enough when they've run out of money. If you've only got enough for half a gram then half a gram will have to do you. If you can afford a lot more than that - well, why not?
There is no physical dependence associated with cocaine. Someone using it regularly will not become ill if they stop using. People often experience a compulsion to take more, though, and can start to feel unable to have a 'good' time unless they are using cocaine.
Crack cocaine
'Crack' is also cocaine. It's cocaine delivered in a highly potent and rapidly absorbed form. Some people chew coca leaves, some people sniff the powdered crystalline refined alkaloid cocaine hydrochloride and some people smoke the freebased alkaloid in the form of crack. Just like some people like to look at the full moon on a summer's evening and others like to strap themselves to the top of an enormous hydrogen-fueled rocket that travels at four times the speed of sound to go have a closer look for themselves. And then burn-up on re-entry, parachute in from 20,000 ft and end up bobbing about in the midst of a vast ocean feeling a little lost and wondering when the last bus home is.
Crack is a smokable form of the same drug. It's not just smoking cocaine - burning cocaine powder destroys the drug. Mixing cocaine with the right household chemicals to produce a smokable form, similar to (and much easier to produce than) freebased cocaine is the science of making crack. Rock. Wash. Stones. When crack is heated it produces a smoke containing cocaine which usually has a purity above 90%. When the smoke is inhaled it passes into the bloodstream through the lungs and quickly reaches the brain. Quickly as in within a heartbeat or two.
ignition...
...and within a few minutes the high is peaking, leveling, estimated time for re-entry is fifteen minutes...on my mark...10...9...8...
...splosh...
"I wonder when the last bus home is?"
This is of course the edited version of the experience. The splosh >>> bus transition is separated by as many blasts on the pipe as cash and time allows. The high is all of the high of cocaine, only more so. Immortal, untouchable. Omnipotent. And oh! for such a searingly short time. The compulsion to have more of that is massive. The come-down is like stepping off a bus. And then finding that the bus is floating several hundred feet above a dark, sinister, menacing place that is dark, and deep and bad. And it has your name on it. And there is absolutely no doubt about it, the world is absolutely definitely meaningless and full of worthless bastards who are ganging up on you just to press home the point about how pointless it all is and they can just fuck off. Bastards. I've just about had a fucking nuff of those sad little gits. I could go on...
The comedown from crack is far more distressing than the comedown from cocaine powder. Mood swings, irritability, anxiety and paranoia are common.
I've met regular crack users who have developed a smack habit after taking heroin on a regular basis to reduce the impact of the come down from the crack they're using on a regular basis. It can all get very, very messy, very, very quickly. When you get into regular use it's easy to blow hundreds on crack before you leave the house in the morning.
Unless you can't afford it.
I guess that might be why some people are suggesting that there might be a link between crime and drug use. It kind of makes sense to me.

In the UK, cocaine is controlled by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 as a Class A, Schedule 2 drug.
Other Class A drugs include heroin and LSD.12…9697

dealing with family member’s issues with alcohol Alcohol addiction causes pain for everyone involved. My question is is there anyone with experience in helping someone through recovery when they are still blind to all that pain they caused. Trying to he there for someone incase they go and have a drink when the resentment is eating u up inside. Trying not to get into things while they get straight. It feels like giving and giving and getting nothing in return.

How does a person get to heaven? Answer inside. How does a person get into Heaven?
Here’s what most people say about what gets you into Heaven:
Everyone becomes an angel and goes to heaven when they die.
Whoever obeys the Ten Commandments will go to heaven.
Whoever goes to church will go to heaven.
Whoever does more good things than bad things will go to heaven.
Whoever believes in God will go to heaven.
Whoever has not done anything really bad will go
to heaven, or if their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds.
Everyone in a Christian household will go to heaven.
Well, these statements may SEEM ok, but they are NOT TRUE. None of these will get a person past those pearly gates.
To get into heaven you must:
1. Admit you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 from the Bible says “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”. That means that EVERYONE has sinned.
2. You must then realize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and took your punishment so that you could have eternal life in Heaven.
3. You must now REPENT of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to forgive you of all your sins(things you have done wrong). This means that you must totally and sincerely turn from your sins, and simply ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior and Lord and to come into your heart and change it. It doesn’t matter how bad you have been, because Jesus will take you anyway. All you need to do is accept his offer of eternal life.
Here’s a prayer that you can pray if you decide to accept Jesus as Savior:
“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus' precious and holy name. Amen.”
All it takes is faith to accept Jesus as Savior. Faith is simply trusting in Jesus. You trust that your parents will take care of you, right? That’s faith in your parents, however that’s not SAVING faith. That’s just an example of what faith is, so have that same attitude in Jesus. If you sincerely prayed that prayer with all your heart and have accepted Jesus as savior, then just trust that Jesus has forgiven you of your sins and is now your Savior, Friend, and Lord.
Well, you might ask, what if I refuse Jesus’ offer? Well, that’s what I’m going to discuss now.
If you refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and die without accepting him as Savior, then you will die in your sin, and then there will be no hope for you. Instead of spending eternity in Heaven, a place of pure bliss where everyone is happy and there is no suffering and the streets are made of pure gold, you will go to another place. A terrible place.
A PLACE CALLED HELL!
God originally made Hell for Satan and his band of Demons(Satan and his demons are former angels who turned against God, so God kicked them out of heaven). God never wanted any of us human beings to go there. But, if you don’t accept Jesus’ offer of Salvation, then Hell is where you will go. God takes no pleasure in this, but this is YOUR CHOICE. You might say “God wouldn’t send anyone to hell”. Well, God doesn’t send you to hell!
YOU SEND YOURSELF TO HELL if you don’t accept Jesus’ offer of Salvation!
Here’s what Hell is like just incase you’re wondering:
1. HELL IS A REAL PLACE! IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU BELIEVE IN HELL OR NOT! IT’S STILL THERE AND YOU’RE STILL GOING TO HELL IF YOU DON’T ACCEPT JESUS AS SAVIOR!
2. Hell is a place where you will burn forever and ever in a blazing fire. Your suffering will NEVER end, and it NEVER stops. You will never get even one SECOND of rest from the pain. Revelation 14:11 says that “…and they have no rest day nor night…”, that’s not all of the verse, but it’s stating that you will never get any relief from your torment.
3. You will cry and weep forever and ever over your refusal to accept Jesus as Savior, which will add to the torment since that simple prayer would have saved you from this place of never-ending torment.
4. You won’t even get a DROP OF WATER to ease your pain(Luke 16:24). Nothing. Your pain is NEVER eased. NEVER.
So, there you have it. A description of what Hell will be like if you decide to go there by rejecting Jesus.
DON’T LET THIS CHANCE TO ACCEPT JESUS SLIP BY!
You might not get another chance! This might be your last chance to accept Jesus as Savior, since you really don’t know when you’re going to die! Don’t think “Well, I’ll just wait until I get older”, because you could die before then! You could even die tonight even! And if you die without Jesus, then you will go to hell. Proverbs 27:1 says “Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” So, you see, you don’t know if you will have another chance to get saved, so heed this warning now!
Here’s the Salvation Prayer again that I put up earlier that you can pray if you want to accept Jesus as Savior.
“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus' precious and holy name. Amen.”
You must pray in Jesus’ name! If you don’t do that, then the prayer will not reach God’s ears! Sorry, but I’m not the one who makes the rules. This applies to every prayer you pray, not just the Prayer of Salvation! If you pray and don’t say “In Jesus’ name I pray”, then the prayer will not reach the ears of God.
I can’t explain everything, so I will leave you with two good Bible-Based websites to visit if you have internet access:
http://www.bible.com/ (Good website, it has the Bible on here, which you can read, and it also explains a few things).
http://www.amazingbible.org/ (GREAT site about the Bible, has TONS of information about prayer, Jesus, the Bible, and lots of other topics.)
However, you must not rely on these sites alone. You must also find yourself a good Bible-Based Church so that you can be with other Christians. Also, Jesus must be your primary teacher, but these sites can help you a lot in learning more about Jesus and about how to be a good Christian. I, personally, have gotten lots of good information off of these sites. However, these sites do NOT replace Praying and Studying the Bible, so you still have to Pray and Study the Bible, but again, these sites can be used as a HELP, but NOT as your primary source.
Alright, I pray that you will accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord and that those sites will help you in your walk with Jesus, should you accept him as Savior.
May God richly Bless your life.12…89

CH : Achtung Illiesse – Zivilschutzsirene-test Feb 2017 15:00 just in case this isn't also mentioned on all the other media, I saw today on K-TV (Katholisches Fernsehen) the Pfarrer randomly announce on their news program just after a prayer to the Virgin Mary and a reminder it is Candlemas soon, that every alert siren in CH is being set off at 15:00 on one day in Feb (unfortunately I didn't quite catch the exact date mentioned) to test the alert system.
I wasn't expecting to hear that on a small religious TV station but I've heard the ones in AT go off right in the middle of a live Mass at the University chapel, must have also been a test as everyone stayed put and carried on with the service..
Tweet to promote .org I sent this today as I've gained a fair few followers from UK/NL/DE and beyond, many of whom are into music, tech and progressive politics. (I was going to pin it but don't know how to do that!)

FR : another issue with smoking policies.. Thankfully the lass's friend and other passengers sounded the emergency alarm, and the train stopped at the next station (they can't just stop it immediately or it would be right in the middle of a block and delay all the others unless it can be safely reversed / shunted which causes even more delays.
The baby was looked after by the train guards, collected by transport cops and handed back to its mum at the next station. it looks like she only got words of advice which is fair enough as it clearly wasn't a deliberate attempt to abandon the child - until 2000s(?) trains had smoking carriages, so this wouldn't so likely to happen.

Have You Tried MDMA? When i first started to take pills a few years ago, half of one was more than enough. It kept me rolling for hours. But now I need at least 5 pills to actually feel anything from them. When partying or so, I usually take around 10 pills a night. And the buzz isn't like it used to be.
That warm, loveing feeling I had about everyone like I used to have on pills in the past, just isn't the same anymore. Pills now just pep me up for dancing, keep me awake and makes it easier to have a conversation with someone. But its really not the feeling pills used to give me, when only taking 1 or two. I couldn't even walk straight, lol.
I have a few friends that just started to take e too, after taking e for their 3rd time they both toke 6 pills and everything seemed normal. On my third time it almost seemed impossible to take 6. One made me fly high enough as it was, if you know what I mean.
So I guess that I must have started to built up a tolerance over the years, but I also think (and I think this is the biggest factor) the quality of pills is really shit these days.
Just thinking that i used to pay £7 to £10 a pill! Now they only cost £2, sometimes £3 a pill. That has to mean something.
Now I think pills are just a waste of money for me. I would like to try out MDMA crystals, a friend told me the buzz is even better than e from a few years ago. The problem is, I have never seen anyone use MDMA powder before.
Do you snort it? Eat it? Or maybe mix it in a drink? And how much would you need to take to have a nice clear buzz?
