haha you are temptated to use it huh??You have friends that want you to try it out?Well I will tell you how it feels when I used to do it in high school.It makes you feel big and fearless.Once you sniff it very hard up your nose,you will start to get a bubbly feeling in your throat and it will feel as if something is stuck there,almost like a luggy(bugger).After that you might start to have increased heart rate,blood pressure.You might feel as if you are tough and nothing will hurt you since it calms the pain transmitters in you brain.If someone hits you on your arm or you bite your tongue it will not hurt.If you put a little bit of cocaine on your lips and smear it,they will get really numb and you wont feel them.If you use a lot of cocaine you will not feel your face.But most of all you will feel big,and it will feel like everything is more spaceous.Like there is a lot of space around you,everything will feel small compared to you.If you overuse it you put yourself at risk for a heart attack or brain failure and can die the first time.I had an uncle that overdoses and had sever brain bleeding and passed out and it was a miracle that he survived in the hospital,now he is not the same as before.Try not to use it since they do put other things such as rat posion or things that are white just like cocaine just to make a profit and make more out of their money,the people that sell it.Also remeber that it may not make you feel the same way I felt since you and I are different.Drugs effect everyone differently.The people that answered this may not really know what it feels like to be on it since more than likely they have not used it.

cocaine has different effects on different people, much like any other drug
some of the most common effects include:
euphoria (extreme high)
extreme confidence
extreme heart rate
sexual confidence/ heightened sexuality
more aware of senses, all of them
hunger and need for sleep reduced
feel more in control (whether or not you actually are)
feel in general, absolutely awesome
will make you more arrogant and loud, yes more active and less afraid of things without you knowing so it may make you seem more or less annoying
it operates on the same chemical that gives the body a natural high and in a sense, breaks those receptors so doing things that would normally make you happy after coke will no longer make you happy, thus making coke highly addictive.

however it generally does not last very long, usually around 20-30 min

high doses may lead to:
panic attacks
psychotic symptoms
erratic and bizarre behavior

Cocaine is a stimulant drug, like other stimulants, it makes you more alert and energetic, as you suggested.

like many other drugs, over time, a person can become tolerant to the drug, decreasing its effects, and thus requiring more coke to get the same high.

Hope that helps!

  • SilverLynx:

    Cocaine increases alertness, feelings of well-being and euphoria, energy and motor activity, feelings of competence and sexuality. Athletic performance may be enhanced in sports where sustained attention and endurance is required. Anxiety, paranoia and restlessness are also frequent. With excessive dosage, tremors, convulsions and increased body temperature are observed.[73]

    Oddly enough it shares some effects with modern antidepressants – in so much as it is a reuptake inhibitor for the hormones serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Seretonin effects your alertness and elevates your mood, norepinephrine effects anxiety levels, and dopamine effects your ability to feel pain. Taken at the right dosage, this could treat patients who suffer with depression, anxiety and chronic pain.

    However, because it is EXTREMELY addictive and is far too easy to abuse, only derivatives (that are less addictive) are used in modern medicine.
