I hate cocaethylene. Most days I take my ironic poor mans speedball of buprenorphine and coca tea. If I do not touch alcohol, the coca is great with no side effects or comedown, no habit forming reward behavior, could even sleep 90 minutes after a cuppa. However if I drink or even take alcohol base herbal tinctures, the cocaethylene will rock my world. Personally it is a problem becuz: 1)it lasts much longer than cocaine, ie hard to keep a good sleep cycle, also has somewhat of the psychostimulant comedown effect the next days 2)it is certainly habit forming and if I mix them more than once a week or so, my mind will stop enjoying stuff as much when not on cocaethylene, 3)I like to chain smoke tobacco (and sometimes hash) but buprenorphine isn't like morphine; where if you smoke half a pack and are feeling ill, a fix will cure it. Usually I would take alcohol to "comedown" and curb the edginess but now that I cant do that. 4)coca while tranquilizing at a lower dose, becomes slightly edgy around 6+ cups/day and again I can't use alcohol to chill out. I haven't taken benzos for almost 5 years now, horrible w/d, hope to never be caught in that hell again. Other than alcohol, benzo/gabaergics, gabapentinoids, what other chill out drugs/flora are there??
I usually end up drinking once a week or two anyway. Otherwise I would have to day drink to feed the hepatotoxic coke monkey...

The last detox I went into (for alcohol) had to cocaethylene patients.

Cocaine is an extremely popular drug in Australia (no crack though) and as you know, alcohol is abundant.

Coke + alcohol use is quite socially acceptable.

Not for me - i don't like coke and can't drink alcohol.
