Cocaine and Weight Loss
Cocaine is an illegal and dangerous drug - outlawed in most countries around the world. Many people speculate as to whether celebrities ever partake of the drug to induce rapid weight loss.
A story from New Zealand has revealed this very thing. A wealthy 51 yr-old property developer is a suspected drug dealer. He attempted to justify his actions by claiming that cocaine was helping him lose weight.
"In explanation for his actions, the defendant stated that he had discovered taking cocaine in the evening suppressed his appetite and helped him lose weight," the police summary said.Of course there are the side effects:This may explain the success of Henderson's slimming regime. Last winter, Henderson seized on the Atkins craze and lost at least 24kg.
During the stressful 2000 when he was building the $250 million Princes Wharf redevelopment, "Hendo" was a big lad.
But by last winter, the metamorphosis was spectacular.
He sported a new wardrobe and cut a much finer figure on the waterfront.
Come the summer, he appeared even leaner, as the diet regime continued apace and his face shape changed markedly.
Doctors say cocaine acts as an appetite suppressant to such an extent that it can make users vulnerable to malnutrition. Long-term use can result in a range of mental health conditions from mild depression to the extremes of cocaine psychosis with symptoms similar to schizophrenia.And you thought ephedra was bad.Like all stimulants, it can lead to heart problems

hello, I just have a few questions. As most of the people on here I too want to loose some weight. Ive done coke before, just socially and when I drank. I use to go out and party every weekend for about 3 months that was my life. I did coke and a lot of it every weekend for that entire 3 months. At the time I was about 122 lbs and I am 5'5. I recently started to gained some weight. I am now up to about 140, I want to loose 20 lbs within about a month period of time. I have some money saved up and my question is this. Someone had some said, to loose weight with cocaine its a habit that would cost 1/2 gram/$50 a day. Is that true??? I have $350 that I am planning to spend all on cocaine and I need some advice. Will that $350 worth of coke make me loose the 15-20lbs I want to loose in a month? OR will I need more??? Please...this is my last hope..ive done the diets and exercise...i dont have the patience.
thank you

Hi Amy,
When I was in college I had a rough period with cocaine. You've already had your period with it too. So, you already know what a half a gram a day is going to feel like. For me, it was nice at the crest but ugly at the troughs, and I nearly ground my teeth to stubs.
5'5, 140? Lose 4-5 lbs a week? Last hope? Amy, go back and read what you wrote. If you're talking about this being your last hope, then you aren't looking very hard. What makes you want to lose weight so badly (and so quickly) to be so tough on yourself?
ReplyOkay, I know that you want me to be civil Jim, but this subject can't be delt with in that manner. So I am apologizing before hand and hoping that you won't remove my comments.
To all the people that are commenting that they would like to take this drug to lose weight, or that it is not addictive do me a favor. Before you go out and get that eightball walk straight into your bathrooms run a nice bath and slit your wrists. This way your friends and families will be able to deal with your demise quickly and won't have to watch you slowly degrade yourselves into coke whores.
I have been around coke, tried it and watched countless lives fall apart because of it. And all of them started out as weekend users. I've been around crack cocaine dealers who will take all your monetary belongings and then stab you in the back when you run out of things to give them. My uncle who for years has sworn that he was only a weekend druggie now can stick his finger through the center part of his nose where the coke has burned away the flesh.
My own boyfriend was a coke fiend until I gave him the ultimatum that he either turn me into an addict or step away and leave the scene forever. He choose the latter thank god for that.
There is no right way to do this drug. And by saying that you are already proving that you are addicted. Why would you want to destroy your body and your brain? To be thin? do any of you realize how stupid that sounds? "I only do it when I drink", " I just do it once and a while" Do you know what you sound like when you write these statements down? I would say retarded but that would be insulting to the innocent people that are slow.
Do you know what else helps you lose weight? AIDS! So, with the obvious line of thought within the comments here, Go out and find someone who has AIDS and get it. Hell you may be dying but look how small your butt is now!
Here is my final statement on this topic, for everyone that has posted here where it seems like a reasonable idea to shove a drug up your nose to lose weight, do me a favor and go get sterilized as quickly as possible! RIGHT NOW if you can get to a clinic. Because you shouldn't be procreating until you can value your own lives enough not to do this. And chances are if you do have kids you won't be there for them long enough to do any good. And honestly we have enough hurting children who are born addicted to what their mothers felt like doing. At least if you don't give a damn about yourselves don't make others pay for it.
ReplyAs far as I'm concerned - that's the last word on the matter. Good comments Robyn.
