    Default Party over? Flesh-eating disease linked to cocaine

    "It seems cocaine has been behind a rash of flesh-eating disease outbreaks in Los Angeles and New York. Cocaine cut with the veterinary drug levamisole has apparently been linked to a number of cases of rotting flesh, according to Good Morning America."

    This story reminds me of the tainted pot scare in the late '70s, when a controversial program sponsored by the US government sprayed paraquat on South American pot fields. "Perhaps in an attempt to deter people from using marijuana, representatives of the program warned that spraying rendered the crop unsafe to smoke." Subsequent research indicated no ill effects from smoking weed from sprayed fields.

    While I don't do partake these days--more for financial than health reasons--this report would make me think twice about doing a line at a party. Sigh. Another of life's illicit pleasures gone.

    Wasn't this already a side effect of using cocaine?

    Not exactly. Long-time snorters can dissolve their septum. Rather, the flesh-eating thingy seems to be generalized and not site-specific, due to the immunosuppressive effect of the drug.

    That is what I was referring to, dissolving the septum. I knew a couple very heavy users years ago, it is gross but they completely deteriorated their whole septum from doing so much.

    It's not like it was a healthy lifestyle choice to begin with.

    Trem,

    No argument there. But drugs are popular, and always will be, because they're pleasurable, at least in the short term. I don't regret for a moment all the wicked fun I've had, and I hope you can say the same.

    this is the first article that i have read in a while that will make me think twice before accepting a bump. at least for now, until whatever idiot is cutting the coke like this decides it is not in his best interest business wise to keep this up.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Well look at what this heroin substitute they're using in Russia does to you. They call it krokodil, and it literally eats up its addicts. This video is gruesome, so don't watch it if you're eating an omelette.

    I think that guy was in some drug house getting high ignoring the fact that his leg was rotting off until it got to the point where you see it in the video? Either way, pretty nasty.

    They're not the same. Flesh eating bacteria is fast acting & painful -needs emergency medical attention right away. A dissolved septum takes years of heavy use before that happens -& it still isn't the same effect. Trust me.

    I never said they were the same. Obviously if someone does a drug so much that it starts eating away where they insert it isn't something that is going to happen overnight.

    It's more than nasty - it's an epidemic. Look at this 'Independent' report:

    There's an even WORSE one called 'JENKEM' - which is made out of fermented human waste and inhaled.........

    Curious enough about this story, I'm going to send an email to my one-time dealer. I wonder how his business is doing? Will report back.

    Proud to be drug free. When I was in high school, a friend of mine fainted from some weed that we bought. Was laced with something, and it was enough for me to stop buying illegal drugs....

    I'd consider smoking some pot though if anyone has some home grown stuff though!

    My local ex-dealer assures me that his supply is "clean; no complaints." Would one expect a drug dealer to say anything else?

    Well hopefully dealers will wake up when business drops off due to this news story and use something more sensible... like creatine or glucose. Giving your customers flesh eating disease surely cant be good for repeat business.

    Never tried cocaine, but always wanted to...maybe not so much anymore.

    I guess I used it 4x/year for about two years. The party always started marvelously but always ended poorly--exhausted, dehydrated, alone and yet ravenous for one more line. In the end, I decided the pain (physical and financial) outweighed the pleasure. That, and getting up in years. Nobody wants to be remembered as the "idiot aging hipster who had a heart attack after finishing up his stash."

    I've used coke a few times ... just small bumps ... never got addicted ... would use a half a gram between a friend and I for the night. Never had a hangover or anything.
    I'm sure there are testing kits for coke as there are for mdma/ecstasy.

    Also, weed can't really be laced with things ... chances are the friend fainted from being overwhelmed. Weed speeds up your heart and can make you anxious or have a panic attack (it does for some people). For most it just relaxes you. So many myths about weed. I laugh when people say that weed is laced with LSD and stuff. Weed is a pretty cheap drug (in comparison to other drugs). No one's going to lace it with LSD which is expensive or heroin which is crazy expensive. Doesn't make sense does it? :p

    I've never done cocaine no interest because I've seen the horror stories. I've known many who did though.
