When Is It Best To Take Crack Cocaine?

As a rule of thumb, it is profoundly unwise to take crack-cocaine.

There is perhaps a single predictable time of life when taking crack-cocaine is sensible, harmless and both emotionally and intellectually satisfying. Indeed, for such an occasion it may be commended. Certain estimable English doctors were once in the habit of administering to terminally-ill cancer patients an elixir known as the "Brompton cocktail". This was a judiciously-blended mixture of cocaine, heroin and alcohol. The results were gratifying not just to the recipient. Relatives of the stricken patient were pleased, too, at the new-found look of spiritual peace and happiness suffusing the features of a loved one as (s)he prepared to meet his or her Maker.

Drawing life to a close with a transcendentally orgasmic bang, and not a pathetic and god-forsaken whimper, can turn dying into the culmination of one's existence rather than its present messy and protracted anti-climax.

There is another good reason to finish life on a high note. In a predominantly secular society, adopting a hedonistic death-style is much more responsible from an ethical utilitarian perspective. For it promises to spare friends and relations the miseries of vicarious suffering and distress they are liable to undergo at present as they witness one's decline.

A few generations hence, the elimination of primitive evolutionary holdovers such as the ageing process and suffering will make the hedonistic death advocated here redundant. In the meanwhile, one is conceived in pleasure and may reasonably hope to die in it.

1. When you are the daughter or niece of a Bush? n/t

[sarcasmo]

2. When you are the President and your poll #'s are below 40 percent.

3. We take pain medication

For pain dont we, why not.

4. I hear heroin is amazing.

Isn't crack a stimulant? Not sure I want to be stimulated on the way out.

[Lilyhoney]

5. I have never used heroine

but if I only had a few weeks to live, I think I would have to try some.
And every other drug I never tried.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

10. I've already decided if I ever find out I'm terminally ill

I'm going up in a balloon. I'm afraid of heights, so this is a big deal. I think I'll take a hookah with me.

18. I'd have to try them all too...

Unfortunately, for me, that pretty much amounts to crack and heroin. Everything else is water under the bridge :evilgrin:

21. My old man is the same way...

I've known for a long time the insane amounts of drugs both my parents did back in the day. My father though, well, lets just say Hawaii and San Diego in the mid-70's was a wild time. He told me that he never did crack or heroin. He said he would have tried heroin, but only in controlled circumstances. He shot up a coke concoction once under those circumstances: in his house with his friends one of which was a paramedic, fresh sterile needles from the package, etc.

Personally I have zero desire to do crack even if I only have a week to live. I've smelt that shit before and it was one of the most vile things I've smelt. The thought of inhaling it is definitely a no.

6. Ecstacy is supposed to be better for cancer patients

and it's generally safer too. They used to use MDMA back in the day for pyschotherapy and terminal cancer patients, and then the FDA found out people were taking it for fun too, so they made it illegal.

In fact, just about every drug we have in our society has a better alternative in the narcotics market, they're just TOO good for people to use safely, so the government must protect us from ourselves, or something like that.

15. MDMA is still used in psycho therapy

in other countries, prescribed in low doses.

I would be looking for some if I were dying.

[SteppingRazor]

17. Depends how much pain, I think...

Ecstasy's a bump in the road compared to the Everest of Heroin. It doesn't do a whole lot for pain, so much as it alters one's state of mind.

If I was terminally ill and in pain, it'd be opiates for me all the way.

[orwell]

7. Right before...

...your State of the Union Address where you designate the Axis of Evil.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

8. Reminds me of Timothy Leary's final days

I fully plan on doing my drug experimentation when I'm on my last legs.

[az chela]

13. Weird

I was just telling my friend several days ago about Tim's last book,Design for dying,and told her thats what I want to do if I am really dying.
It is such a good book and as He was always my hero,I recommend it to anyone who is termilally ill or wants the knowledge before they get that way

9. Had major surgery on my ankle a few years back....

When I awoke, completely and utterly relaxed, out of it, and without a care in the world (Plus really bad cottonmouth) I was told that I'd been administered some morphine.

So, if you want to talk about a drug to administer to sick and ailing people on the verge of death, talk about one that is LEGAL to administer.

Using sickness and pain as a platform for the legalization of crack cocaine is pretty ridiculous IMO, in fact, it blurs the line between crack cocaine and marijuana (Which deserves real attention as a medical alternative).

[Lilyhoney]

14. I never said anything about legalization of crack cocaine.

Some people claim to have a god like experience on heroine. That is the experience I would be looking for.

[imperialismispasse]

11. Right before you go on the air for the EIB network.

12. Usually AFTER a press conference, not before

It causes you to fumble up your answers to unscripted questions . . . Luckily, you usually try to have your photo-ops in front of friendly, ordered-to-smile crowds . . .

[Dez]

16. Don't do crack

or other drugs, they're bad for you.

[Gnostic]

19. I have always told

Everyone I know that if I am ever in the position of certain death, and my "quality of life" stops justifying continued existence, I want the strongest, biggest rock that can be found of ANYTHING and strapped into my death-bed for my last ride to Mars.

20. A friend of mine did it in a crack house in NYC
