It creates no physical addiction like smoking does. You can use it one day and easily go without it the next day...
It was the key ingredient in Coca Cola or Coke. It is called cocaine or coca. |
Hmm... I had several friends who fell face-first into their baggies and took a long, long time coming out. I've never used it, but my experience with them makes cocaine look pretty damn addictive. They also, for the most part, became complete & total ******** when they were using - violent, loud.
The wiki article states that coca - the coca leaf - has not been shown to be addictive. The first paragraph of the cocaine article says clearly, "cocaine is addictive".
Again - no personal experience, but I wouldn't equate the two.
