It is not possible for a person to take drugs and not be affected by them, IMHO. Christianity does not place restrictions on what we can eat or drink, but the type of antisocial behavior that results from taking drugs is defiantly condemned.

Jesus Christ loves you. He wants you to be happy and have a full and productive life. No negative effects? Please read on:
Short-term effects of cocaine include constricted peripheral blood vessels, dilated pupils, increased temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, insomnia, loss of appetite, feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. Duration of cocaine's immediate euphoric effects, which include energy, reduced fatigue, and mental clarity, depends on how it is used. The faster the absorption, the more intense the high. However, the faster the absorption, the shorter the high lasts.The high from snorting may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking may last 5 to 10 minutes. Cocaine's effects are short lived, and once the drug leaves the brain, the user experiences a "coke crash" that includes depression, irritability, and fatigue.
High doses of cocaine and/or prolonged use can trigger paranoia. Smoking crack cocaine can produce a particularly aggressive paranoid behavior in users. When addicted individuals stop using cocaine, they often become depressed. Prolonged cocaine snorting can result in ulceration of the mucous membrane of the nose.

Now, if you add to that the emotional damage, your family and friend's suffering, losing your job, credibility, and respect of your peers, not to mention financial ruin and spiritual emptiness...
...please get help. Don't let a drug control your life. You are worth much more than that. I'm glad you asked. There is hope.

Are you out of your little brain? Cocaine is addictive, causes insanity, and will kill you in no time. I am disgusted by you. I have 4 bullet holes in my abdomen and chest as well as a dead partner and a crippled partner from a user of your safe and non addictive drug.
But, I encourage you to do LARGE amounts of it RIGHT NOW! and remove yourself from the gene pool

There's no such thing as doing coke with no negative effects, just like any other drug.
Christianity would say it's wrong. All I have to say is that I want nothing to do with it, and you can decide for yourself.

is that possible???or is it that denial thing?
1 Corinthians 6:13-20
13 "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." 17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Yes. God says that our bodies are a temple and should be treated as such so doing drugs would definitely be out!

Babsed on the bible, it would be wrong because your body is God's gift to you, and he said to treat it well, and all of the effects aren't that well.
