Why are people so confident on Cocaine?

[TheGuy]

As the title suggest why are people so confident when taking Cocaine?

The reason I ask is I took it years ago and feeling it created was absolutely awesome. So I was wondering if there is a natural way you can re-create that feeling.

I Googled around a bit but people seem to be more stuck on the bad affects then to discuss it thoroughly. Wikipedia just gives the scientific explanation.

Seems to do with dopamine release, and re-uptake inhibition, but it seems a fairly complex and contested notion (dopamine and the reward system of the brain).

Do you think we'd have billion dollar cartels built on cocaine if there were? Seriously...

Why are people so confident on Cocaine?

I'd imagine its because they are high.

 

[RiaX]

its because they have a mass release of dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline. These neurotransmitters do some good stuff to your brain but not only does cocaine cause a mass release of them it also blocks their reuptake. If im not mistaken I think its the only drug that affects all three monoamine transmitters.

and no you cant re-create that feeling that is why cocaine is so special no other drug of abuse does what it does

All the cokeheads I know/knew become absolute douchebags when high. Don't know why you would want to do that naturally or unnaturally.

Goes straight to the brain, head gets bigger, big head more confidence? Maybe?

Most intoxicants promotes confidence.

Those people were probably douchebags all along just to afraid to show it.

I see that sucks thou

No idea, never done drugs in my life (puffed weed a few times but never got it).

A natural alternative that messes with monoamine transmitters would itself probably be considered a abuse-worthy drug

^This..., If there are any they would be very high schedule drugs...
By the way you say the feeling was awesome... how did you feel the next morning? how many times have you done it?

 

[zizo911]

It is because of the Dopamine....

I`d be interested in that answer too.

Beta blockers with sex and exercise = mild coke?

If you wanna hang out youve got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back; cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

Have an intense workout session, followed by a cold shower before going out. You can skip the cold shower if it's too cold, but ideally you want the workout to be intense enough that you don't worry about the cold. The increased testosterone from this makes you more confident that night.

 

[Wyrd]

I was about to reply that the cold shower thing must be the worst form of bro-science - then quickly did a quick google check to verify. Imagine my surprise to see this is actually not disproved. Damn, that means I have to take a cold shower tomorrow. Thanks for that.

I kind of agree, but not initially. I have found people who have taken coke for a long period of time definitely have a personality change happen, usually for the worse.

To be honest when I was living in the UK I did loads of it as I worked behind a bar. Luckily when I came back to SA I managed to to avoid it completely. In the beginning you feel really crap the next day but after a while your body gets used to it so you don't feel so bad anymore.

Awesome this is the kind of feedback I was looking for. I ran 5 km this morning and then took a cold shower right afterwards. I feel absolutely awesome this morning. I'm going to a Salsa dance club on my own on Saturday night so I'll work out and take a cold shower again right before I go to see how much a difference it makes.
