This really isn't a toughy.

That kind of behavior is either acceptable to you or it isn't.

If it is, continue to see her, if not... don't.

Didn't read the rest of the posts....but I've been there. Others may have a different opinion, but I do not think that occasional use of cocaine is that big of a deal (and for the record, I am drug free). The girl I was dating was on a particular antidepressant that is also used to treat hard-core cocaine addicts as it has the ability to diminish the "desire" to do coke. It also cuts the "feeling" of being on coke, so she would do twice as much as she would have needed to do if she wasn't on the antidepressant.

It wasn't that big of a deal, yet to be honest, I am not sure how often she was actually using. I was over at her place on a daily basis for the most part, and only knew of her holding maybe once every two or three weeks. I doubt she was blowing lines everyday, but I suspect she did it more often than I was aware of.

The thing with coke is that its effects wear off rather quickly, 10 or 15 minutes or so. That causes coke heads to have some very predictable behavior (going to the bathroom excessively, wiping, sniffing, or playing with their nose, for example). I've worked with a few coke heads, and knew a few in my circle of friends, so they are fairly easy to spot.

To be honest, I was only really concerned on those days when she forgot to take her medication. Being around someone who takes antidepressants when they are off their medication is no picnic.

Make your own choices, but if she is only uses occasionally, isn't hiding it from you, and is generally a good person with a smart head on her shoulders I wouldn't worry about.

Sounds like a new thread title...

Would you buy a kid from a crack head ? There were times I'd pay you to take mine.

It's called babysitting. No thanks!

Anti-Depressants = Yes
Cocaine = No

You might want to Google the effects of coke and antidepressants - not a good combo.

I doubt very seriously she is "together."
Good point. I was going to bring that up.

And she may be lying about how often she uses cocaine just to ease your worries. But I would stay away from anybody who does drugs. An acquaintance told me that she had some drugs on her while in a friend's car, and when he got pulled over for speeding, she dropped the drugs in his car and claimed they didn't belong to her. The 'friend' of hers ended up spending time in jail. People are shady.

Yeap, that would be a combination to screw up a few brain cells. Throw in a little Crystal Meth and you have a Trifecta

YES!

And no way, no how, never would I ever even consider dating anyone who used cocaine period-even recreationally.

Take a survey of people addicted to cocaine and see how many of them started off "just on the weekends" with no intention of branching out further, and see how that worked out for them. Good luck with all that!

Not really. I haven't been on this particular Forum for a while, but if you are familiar with my posts, you should know that I am not as "vanilla" as the typical poster in this Forum. For what it's worth, I have had a good deal of exposer to drugs. Granted, no one starts out saying they want to be an addict (but plenty do start out saying I want to feel this way), but there are plenty of pot heads who smoke dope all day long, every day who are some of the crankiest people you will ever meet until they finally toke up (and if pot wasn't addicting, then why do some people make phone calls at 4 am or drive all over town looking for a bag of weed? If it wasn't addicting, then why not just patiently wait until the next day? Or week?). There are also tons of people who drink alcohol, even only on occasion, who are addicted to alcohol yet do not know it (or believe it).

While no one wants to be an addict, everyone has a choice to do what-ever particular drug for the second, third, fourth time, etc. I know people who really only did heroin or coke on occasion without developing any habit. I'm not saying anything about that other then it is what it is. Some people just take to liking some drugs over others. There is a lot more that goes into the development of a drug habit other than simply doing that drug.

So yes, a person can do coke on occasion without developing a habit. If you want to do a survey, than survey all the adults you know, at work, etc. about their college years. I'm sure you will find more than one adult who "experimented" with hard drugs in college who never developed a habit.

I am saying that drugs are good, or even okay. I personally like to keep my mind intact and abstain from everything except beer. I just don't share in the opinion that occasional use of drugs turns into full blown addiction with everyone.
