You know it’s crazy, almost every other week, I hear about a friend or someone I used to know that sniffs that white stuff. It’s shocking because, I always had this moral principle (which I learned through this rap music) that being a dust head just isn’t cool. I mean look how disrespectful we are toward fiends as if they are sub-human or zombies. Cocaine references have always been a part of hip hop culture and I always thought that we were being warned to stay away from the white stuff because it is a loser drug. For the record, I have never tried it, and am vehemently against ever trying it ever.

I had or have (not sure) a good friend that started sniffing sometime last year when his girl dumped him for another dude and I knew he was going to get addicted because if there’s anything everyone should know about cocaine is that it is insanely addictive. Over the last year my friend’s appearance has gone from normal and healthy looking to zombie like. He hardly returns my calls and when I do see him, he looks really messed up -he’s lost a lot of weight and always looks tired. He avoids me, because I obviously give him hell about his drug problem, but I’m sure anyone would if they were in my position.

So since it’s really up to my friend to get his life on track himself (since I can’t save him). I want to share with everyone some info I found about the kind of side-effects cocaine causes in the hopes that none of you will ever dare try it out. Now I know this is mad corny, and it’s obvious I’m trying to save someone else with this info, but whatevers. Here are some reasons why you don’t want to ever try cocaine.

Now if you’ve read this far and still want to try cocaine your crazy. I know you may be around it, but this is a drug you do not want to experiment with because it’s really hard to turn back. Also keep in mind, the financial cost cocaine use will have on you? Do you have any idea how much a gram is going for these days? Way too much. Not only that but the dependence you set yourself up for by doing coke will set your life back years…shoot you could even die. Need I say more?
