16 year old friend wants to try coke

Should I try to convince her not to? Shes only ever smoked weed before, and I just feel like coke is usually a bad idea. I wouldnt touch it (but Im not sure if its bad enough to influence other peoples choices).

Tell her what you think about it. Tell her why you don't do it, or if you've tried it, explain how it was like for you. Ultimately she has to decide for herself, the best thing you can do for her is give her what information you have and hope she makes the right choice.

In moderation and from clean sources Coke isn't to bad. However it can be incredibly addictive. As long as you don't OD one dose shouldn't hurt her. All that said, I wouldn't do it. If she got hooked her life would be messed up. Being that she is as young as she is, she doesn't really know her body and her tolerance.

If someone really wants to do something, they will.
So if she wants to do coke, she will, convincing her not to probably won't work. I'm sure she knows it's addictive and not 'good for you' -- She can make the call on her own.
And like others said, it's fairly safe, barring any addiction...

Um I would say no, dude.
You should take her to meet some people that are already addicted to coke. I guarantee she won't be eager to try it then.
It's not as cool or glamorous as it's made out to be. Plus smoking it is a way better high then snorting it... and nobody wants to "try smoking crack"

scare tactic without any information isn't the answer.
Dare tried it. They lied to a bunch of kids about the drugs, and drug use has only gone up.
I think your solution would be good provided that she learns about the drug aswell.. You can tell someone that fires hot.. but until they touch it. Or you can teach them about fire, and what it does. Probably less likely to give it a try.

Tell her enough about it that she'll choose not to take it. Between the disgraceful stuff that goes down in mass cocaine production, the impurity of the product (not to mention the dangerous crap it's often cut with), and the long term effects (particularly on someone who takes it while their brain is still developing) it shouldn't be too hard to convince her not to do it.
I know a lot of people who did a lot of coke at too young an age, and they're really not the same even after years of abstinence.
Cocaine can be fun, but it really isn't worth it. Is she trying to get you to hook her up, or just saying she wants to do it?

Bullshit. I've convinced people to stay away from lots of things that can harm them. If you can't convince, its because you're not good at it.

Coke can cause: strokes, seizures, respiratory failure, heart attacks, and irregular heart beats. My internal medicine doctor also told me that any amount can set off a stroke. An addict can be used to taking say 5 lines in at a session, but then the next day snorts a quarter of a line and a blood vessel will close up in his brain.

I met this kid... he was 17 and had a fucking stroke from cocaine... 17 dude.
Coke is just not worth the money, risk of addiction, or the shady ass people you have to deal with to get it.
Plus most of the cocaine in this country is shipped in by the CIA so they can fund their black ops, and fuck them!

Well, I first tried coke when I was 15. I've done it maybe 5 or 6 times and only because it it was always free. You have no idea how she'll react. I have used dozens of different drugs, and know coke addicts, so it wasn't like I just dove into it. I don't like it at all. I only get the slightest euphoria for about 5 minutes and then I just get irritable for like an hour. Some people love it, though. Tell her if she really wants that high, to use amphetamines. I know I'll get flamed for that, but from personal experience amps are better. Cheaper, longer-lasting, more euphoric, and each time I do it, it makes me never want to do it again.

I hate to suggest speed to anyone, but I'm inclined to agree. If she's the kind of person who's going to inevitably seek out an active, social high regardless of what you tell her, then speed is better than coke.

id say no. coke fucks with you
coke and meth are the only two drugs i refuse to touch anymore because of the obvious addiction that results from using them. with other drugs you can stop fairly easily (depending on how much you do them), but coke is different.
it may just be that i had bad experiences with it, but i would not recommend it... especially to a 16 year old
