It depends on what you consider good. The initial high is great, but the downside is horrible. Plus the danger of affecting your body and mind in a negative manner forever. Even to the point of death.
Stop it. Or don't ever start.
My wife is a RN at a nursing home. There is a 19 year old boy in there for brain damage from using coke. He is a vegetable, plus the lining inside his nose is gone. Too much coke too long. At 19?

No Gareth, and well you know it!
It's deadly, highly addictive and can cause you to have a stroke or a heart attack at ANY age. In some cases it can cause paranoid psychosis and the user will lose touch with reality.
If you swallow it, you might well end up with gangrene of the bowels. Young people never take any notice of older advisers and think that it won't affect them.
It will affect you, Gareth. It's a poison.
To make things horrendously worse, if you mix cocaine and alcohol, you will create a substance called cocaethylene which can cause sudden death. Just like that, with no warning.
Feeling lucky?

absolutely not. Though the drug was used in the past centuries as pain medicine, the dependcey factor and the side effects, rapid heart rate, addiction, kidney failure, liver failure, make it one of the most dangerous drugs out there, not to mention, A complete altered perception of reality when one is using cocaine.

No it is not good for you, Messes your body and mind up terrible and even after you stop taking it you can still have side effects that might kill you. Is it worth it to risk death by taking cocaine??

no no and no. it excells the heart rate and is responsible for a lot of heart attacks and strokes in users. also, it can enhance or even bring on depression and forms of bipolar disease. the only time it is used for medicinal purposes is when "coke packing" is done for severe blockage of the nasal passages due to sinus infections.(and this is only done in the hospital.) if you are on it, try to get some help--i have seen some young people in my hospital with the conditions i mentioned. oh yeah,..and i also used for about 6 months and messed up alot of stuff in my life.gl

Your sad i think i'll report you. do you know how many peoples lives are effected by drugs and drug abuse and how many people on here you could be upsetting by asking such silly questions. a very close family member of mine recently died from trying cocaine at a party and died instantly.

You really need to get off this computer and start talking with people. You must be the only person in the world who doesn't know the answer to this question.

Very much so if you live in the Andes and chew the leaf straight off the bush. But only then ...
