This was far from my first time using cocaine... I'd had it perhaps 2 dozen times since 1990... but this time I decided to try and document the effects as they occured.

Nov. 23, 1997

11:27pm:

    I just cut out two medium-to-small sized lines of cocaine. I've

already had about 6 or 7 lines over the past 3 hours or so, the last

being a little over an hour ago. I smoked a bowl of pot about 45 minutes

ago, but its effects are pretty much unnoticeable, except maybe a slight

reduction in the edginess of the cocaine effects. I'm definately still

feeling the effects, although I'm in the come-down stage at present. The

next 2 lines should give me a pretty typical high-dose cocaine experience.

At present, I feel contradictorally wired and tired. I feel as if I could

fall asleep if I wanted, although from experience I know I couldn't yet. I

feel a warm fuzzy feeling all over my body, similar to the feeling of the

second wind you get when you stay up all night, but there is also a mild

feeling of stimulant tension. Euphoria has definately long since passed.

Cocaine makes me dehydrated, and this manifests itself primarily in the

feeling of dry mouth. I will frequently suck on my cheeks, trying to

salivate, I guess. It's not really a conscious thing. Its a bad thing,

actually, as it makes the dry mouth worse, and sometimes will leave my

mouth feeling uncomfortable the next day. I'm going to finish my

cigarette, then do these lines.

11:33pm:

    I snort the lines, and immediately feel both euphoria, and a

passing urge to get the rest of my coke out and do more. I get the urge to

smoke a cigarette, so I do. The high intensifies for a minute or two then

levels. I'm mildly euphoric, but very stimulated. Its a distinct

stimulation, more like amphetamines than caffeine. But definately

different. There is a mild anesthetic property, mainly concentrated in my

mouth and nose, and a generalized tingly, warm sensation. I notice myself

typing alot harder, but pausing more between sentences. The urge to smoke

my cigarette is overwhelming. There is a warm feeling along my spine.

Mentally, I feel both calm and stimulated, somewhat paradoxically. If

there were people here, I'd be talkative.

11:38pm:

    I am feeling a barely perceptible decrease in the high, and decide

to stop typing for a little bit to enjoy it, probably with another

cigarette. The urge to do more coke occasionally pops into my mind but

then leaves just as quickly.

11:53pm:

    I went and smoked a cigarette, and alternated (quite frequently)

between walking around my room smoking it, sitting on the edge of my bed,

and putting down the cigarette to lay down and close my eyes. Laying down,

I felt very calm, and as if my body were floating. The peak wore off

gradually, and not evenly. I would alternate between feeling come-down

effects and peak effects, with the come-down periods becoming longer and

more frequent.

    The euphoria is mostly gone now, and the thoughts of doing more

coke are a little more frequent and longer, but are nowhere near

irresistable. Simply being aware of the craving seems to make it go away.

I took a multivitamin just now, which I always do before bed anytime I do

any drugs outside of my usual ones (pot, tobacco, and caffeine). It

generally reduces day-after fatigue. The stimulation is still quite

strong, and more amphetamine-like, although it is beginning to fade into

the post-peak mellowness of cocaine. I am almost back to the point I was

when I began writing this.

    Physically, the dry-mouth has become more noticable again. My

lungs feel sort of grimy from smoking too many cigarettes (cocaine tends

to make me chain smoke), and my nasal passages feel somewhat clogged and

sore from doing coke all night. I snorted a few drops of warm water to

help clear out my nose, which helped significantly. I can still

occasionally taste cocaine in the back of my throat if I snort or breath

deeply through my nose.

12:05am:

    I'm basically back to where I was at the beginning now. I feel

calm and quiet. I don't really feel bad, although there have been times

when I've felt quite depressed and physically worn when I've done alot of

cocaine in a short time. I feel physically worn out, and mentally a little

tired, but its definately not a bad thing - basically like being

overtired, despite the fact that I know I could not fall asleep right now.

I've probably done about 1/2 gram over the course of about 4 hours, which

although is alot, is nowhere near the most I've done; that would probably

be about 1.5 grams over 2 or 3 hours. Aside from the two lines I did while

writing this, I used the cocaine in a social setting tonight, with a girl

and a guy I'm friends with. Its when doing it alone that I'll sit there

and do line after line until it's gone or I just can't take anymore.

    I plan on smoking a small bowl of pot to relax, and write a little

more. I'm going to take a 3mg melatonin tablet and probably a shot of

tequila before I go to bed, to counteract the stimulant effect that would

keep me from sleeping. I'll still probably be unable to sleep for about an

hour, perhaps more, but it will definately help, though it will probably

make me groggier tomorrow.

    Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but not outstandingly so.

Cocaine simply isn't my drug of choice. I'm glad I did it, but it'll

probably be a while before I do it again.

12:16am:

    I take my melatonin, and take a hit off my bowl. This experiment

is at an end.
