I'm not, so I feel a little better. Though, fuck, I don't know what to do. Am I going to get addicted? I'm scared. Is the headache and sick feeling an affect from the coke?
However, the vast majority of people I talk to that have experience with psychedelics tell me that although they are fun, the most important part of the experience is the insight.
I was actually talking to my mom about this last night (I have a very open relationship). I was telling her what psilocybin and LSD did for me. How psilocybin really shows me what I'm doing right and wrong with my life, how I had a truly pure realization about how much I love her and my family, a realization that had me in tears, a moment that I will always remember. I also mentioned how LSD affected my way of thinking, how universal it is. How it really eliminates the mask of society...the norms and expectaion.
What psychedelics really do is make you human for a short period of time. Its like being an evangelical and believing that all homosexuals are going to hell, you believe this because your whole life has been surrounded by this belief. You were brought to church as a kid, your parents told you this, everyone told you this. Taking a psychedelic removes all the brain wash, all the outside influence, and it tells you "What do you believe?"... "NO, not what do THEY believe, what do YOU believe". It tells you how you've been conditioned all your life, and it eliminates that blanket and exposes your life for what it really is.
Honestly, I can understand if people choose not to use harder drugs, thats there choice, and some of them are pretty hardcore. However, I dont understand how people can scrutinize softer drugs like marijuana, LSD, and Psilocybin. If you really believe it is so pointless and harmful to the mind over time. Why not just spend a measly half day and put your money where your mouth is. Everyone is just so scared to experience life. I mean, Nancy Reagen spent a very large portion of her life spreading what she believed to be the absolute truth about drugs, yet she couldn't spend 1 day experiencing it from the other side? I used to want to be an addiction specialist. The reason I don't anymore is because I believe the only people who can really guide addicts are those who have been addicts themselves. I've never been a heroin addict, how the hell am I supposed to talk to one like I know what they've been through?

Yeah. That's one thing that gets me, is all the people who go through life looking through one side of the glass wall. You step through, and you lose that "innocence," and you can't go back. But ultimately, I have to say, we are all the better for this form of self-affirmation. To be perfectly honest, if I had to and could choose, I would rather LSD and/or psilocin be legal than marijuana. I consider marijuana more for relaxation than anything. LSD and psilocybin are experiences all in themselves, which can completely alter how one puts things into perspective. These seem like more necessary experiences to extensive self-analysis than smoking a spliff. Although all legal at the same time would be unrealistically awesome.
And yeah, that's a good way to look at the addiction thing. Some of the problem with the industry today is that people who have no idea are running it, and saying "Okay, we give them pills that are like heroin, and gradually wean them off of it." After that it's a kick in the ass out the door and a "Best of luck." By the chance it is a rehab center or someone who can afford/is sent to therapy, the therapist is not likely to have a lot, if any experience with the drug. If the directors of the rehab follow some standardized curriculum, they may not perceive the need to hire someone with personal experience with the drug, and may even actually hire discriminatorily against past abusers.
Speaking of crack and such. I was watching the Jimmy Kimmel night show randomly last night and David Cross was on it talking about how he smoked crack with a bunch of random crack heads on the corner and ended up in some strange crack house. He said it was the only and last time he'd do it. Following that, he said to the camera "Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there, DON'T SMOKE CRACK...more than once".
Plus DXM's more mental where-as coke is more about physical satisfaction.
You shan't get addicted. The fact that you're this worried about it is evidence enough to me that trying it again would wig you out, so just don't. I did crack once, and I hated it. I don't do crack. Simple.

I fail.
Speaking of coke though, I could use a line, I'm sleepy as fuck.
I'll send you some eLSD if you send me some eCoke :D

Despite what everyone is telling you, you are dealing with the first symptoms of serious withdrawal. You should seek medical attention now, cocaine withdrawal without proper treatment leads to death. Call 911 now, there is a good chance your life is at stake.it's not serious withdrawal. it's normal to feel like shit a day after doing coke, you can get irritable, sense a loss of appetite, it's all normal. serious withdrawal is caused by snorting coke for several days in a row, it would have to be a decent amount of it daily and even so, a lot of people i know including myself have done it for as long as 4 weeks (maybe 1 day to rest every other week) doing cocaine as much as we could afford (not expensive at all) and didn't go through withdrawal, of course you'd feel like you want to keep doing it cause it's so good but withdrawal symptoms never occurred.
