I don't think $500 is nearly enough considering how badly that shit can screw you up.
Drag racing is for fast cars. Solo 2 is for fast drivers.

This doesn't make sense. Why would he pay regular cocaine users $500 to use cocaine. It can't be that hard to find regular cocaine users to do this for free. After all they're going to do it anyways and they get some free cocaine this way.

If they're all regular cocaine users to begin with then they're probably addicts already. And maybe the protein shakes from the study will help them shake off their addictions...

that better be one powerful protein shake.... hahhaa...
Registered User
well lets hope that they can figure out a way to reduce the addictiveness of that shit
Tap, Rack, BANG!

I'm happy my tax money is going to fund coke heads. Seriously why would they pay these guys to do this? I could have found 10 volunteers if they were supplying the coke!

hm... so this is basically what's happening.
They are paying cokeheads to do coke, then quit.
I don't see any downsides to the cokeheads.
They get $500 AND get to quit.

exactly...and do you think he could have found 10 coke heads who would have voluntarily quit?Originally posted by buh_buh

shut up!!! ^^^ They probably have to use relative newbies to see if the shakes work or not. But thats still a pretty big risk to take for $500 considering some of the things cocaine can do to youOriginally posted by DeSi

What risk, these are people already using coke. They don't risk anything, they get free coke and $500.00
Registered User
i would never touch that shit, $500 is not worth it at all

Especially since these guys are going to be doing powdered cocaine (cocaine hydrochloride) - which doesn't bring about as fast a rush as freebase or crack cocaine. The faster the rush... the stronger the addiction. The addiction is only brought about by repeated use... several times a day etc.
ie: The positive reinforcement brought about by every high is what causes the 'addiction'. So what this prof. is trying to do actually makes sense ... to find out how to reduce the euphoria brought about by the drug...
...but paying the guys $500 is a totally different story!

Cocaine is considered to be one of the most addictive drugs. One single use can get you addicted.

the reason why cocain is such an addicting drung is because the first time a person uses it they experience and xtreme high that whill never be reached again. The addictiveness of this drug comes from the users trying to experience this high again.Originally posted by hash
