Snorting cocaine in powder form gives a sense of euphoria and strength. It is a substance with which “the coward become brave and the silent eloquent” at the same time providing “happiness” 1 to its consumers.
When cocaine is taken simultaneously with alcohol increased stimulation is obtained.
Cocaine serves to neutralize any negative effects of alcohol, but does not diminish their properties of intensifying social life.
The liquor can go from a competitive to a friendly attitude while cocaine provides a dose of energy and security leading to behaviors of self-confidence and euphoria. For that reason both intoxicants are so prevalent in the “executive parties” of the central capitalist society.
It should be noted that the combination of alcohol and cocaine in high doses consumed frequently has negative effects on the body, which in some cases can seriously affect the health, and even, in extreme situations, result in death.
Despite these obvious dangers, the ruling elites of capitalism insist to continue this life full of stress, speed and frivolities.
Cocaine, alcohol, and some “designer drugs” with similar properties, play the role of artificially keeping these pathological existential ways of life.
It is alarming that it is precisely these alienated individuals who have the prevalent authority to make decisions about the world political and economic directions. The long term outlook does not seem be very bright..
