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.

Gym and sex. True story. One after the other if possible. You da man after that. :p

Well cocaine is a natural product. You can get a much more even sensible boost from proper coca tea. Not the decocainized rubbish they made a ridiculous fuss about recently, but the proper tea you can buy in South America. Thank anti-drug morons for that not being generally available.

There are also some medications that boost the relevant neurochemicals, but they're typically prescription-only.

Probably partly because cocaine requires a bit of sense to use it and partly because maintaining the negative image of illegal drugs requires keeping the focus on the bad side.

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

cocaine isnt banned here in SA. Its still used in ENT surgery. The reason you cant use for fun is because people who abuse these things arent very smart and they bankrupt themselves or they die eventually. You get users that are able to control their recreational use but because cocaine highjacks your brains pleasure reward system it is highly addictive and it will kill you with constant use.

So its highly restricted like morphine

I have a word for cocaine users - "Scatterbrain"

I have taken it - it's hard to follow a logical chain of thought to its conclusion. The effects are worse the longer you have been doing it. I have seen lots of my friends on the stuff, when I wasn't, people who've been doing it for years - definitely a personality change (perfectly nice people become douchbags), and hard to be around unless you join them.

GF got bust with a Kilo of Coke after she promised me she'd stop all her crap. Don't ask me how she managed to get off with being charged for having a gram (pretty sure some BJ's were involved, or worse).

only dumbasses turn to drugs just cause they can't handle reality.

Be careful that isn't something to brush off.
