Cocaine and flying on a plane (trace amount of cocaine)????

[ QUOTE ]
Dude,

I had a slight problem with it about 2 years ago for a couple of months. One of my buddys had just bought a house and asked me if I wanted to move in with him and another one of his friends. I did, and thought that it was going to be a blast. Well little did I know, his other buddy was a dealer. Coke was something that I had done every once in a while in college at partys, but never more than once every couple of months. Upon moving in I would hit up his boy everytime I was drunk and wanted to sober up (3-4 times a week). After a couple of months, I realized that this was something that I could not control. As a result, I moved out, and disassociated myself from everyone I knew that did the stuff. It works. I recommend that you do the same.

Actually, I am pretty fortunate. None of my friends do the [censored] that I know of. In fact, other than the night I did it for the first time with some girl, I have never done it with anybody else. I have friends here that would support me, but not in a strong enough way. They wouldn't be around enough. When I go away and get my clear head again (I sure miss is [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), I will then come back and seek some form of treatment. I think at this point I will be off the [censored] long enough to deal with not having as much support. Like with quitting smoking, you really only need support the first week. Then you realize how strong you are. And, if like Eastbay said, I am not going to quit without psychiatric help, and I come back and "crack". Well, then he was right and that is what I will have to do. But, I think the steps I am taking are correct for right now.

I would not carry razors or anything like that. I am leaving to clear my head. I want to quit. I don't think bringing paraphenilia (sp?) is a step in the right direction. Thanks for your support and help with this question.

Chances of this happening with money/clothes are slim.

I know what you meant. If something happened to have a dual use, they can pull a grain off of it and tag you. I've seen people get arrested that way before.

ugggh just a clarification. That guy had been "walked in on" so the cops had every reason to search his room. You are not in that situation. So the danger level is very low. However, there is a slim and unlikely chance.

Just an FYI.

From professionals, including MD's, psychologists, psychiatrists, and friends, none have disagreed with this decision of mine. They have all also said that this is not going to be as hard as I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have to ask. How do you talk about this with these people without getting arrested?


BTW: for other people. This person has been around before 11/2/04 so it's not in the $50 challenge. I am genuinely concerned for his health.

Before I went to the ER, I called and asked if they call the police for possible coke OD. They said that the only time they call the cops when you go to the ER is if you were shot, raped, or are acting violent. As far as MD's and shrinks..they can't say anything to the police. Unless they think I am a danger to someone else, like planning on killing someone, beating your wife, etc..., or if they think I am a true danger to myself; i.e. mainly suicide, not drug use (even though that is a danger to myself..but for some reason they don't report that....i guess because if they did nobody would be open with their counselors about drug use. Which if people weren't honest to their shrink about that,then they would never be able to get help. I guess the reason at hospitals they don't call the cops is because then people would feel like if they are OD'ing then they might not go to the hospital and could possibly die. I know if they would have told me that they call the cops, I wouldn't have went (of course, I knew a lot of my rapid heart racing was from anxiety and lack of sleep).

What is so funny, I don't know why this pic reminded me of this, but it is amazing how I have seen so many true story movies about cocaine, yet decided to try it anyway. Like goodfellas, casino, blow, etc...And even though everything turned bad because of drugs with these guys, I wonder if part of me sees only the good side of "gangsters" or cocaine. Like maybe it is glorified. And for some odd reason, and I am just psychoanalyzing myself, but maybe I am attracted to that for some reason. Okay...where am I going with this nowhere. But, even my favorite musicians are on drugs or are ex druggies (so i must be attracted to this in some weird way). But, at the same time, some of my favorite ex punk rock stars that are still around have this redemption thing going as well. For example, Mike Ness of Social Distortion. And I am attracted to redemption as well. </end millionth rant>

Is it a pain to carry cocaine to Maine while on a plane?

Maine? Why would I be carrying cocaine on a plane? I think from most of my responses I am not trying to cover up a plan to carry drugs on a plane. I am obviously trying to quit.
