Cocaine

Cocaine is a stimulant used as a recreational drug. The production, distribution, and sale of cocaine-related products is restricted (and illegal in most contexts) in most countries.

Coke is pure kick. It lifts you straight up, a mechanical lift that starts leaving you as soon as you feel it. —William S. Burroughs

Cocaine is God's way of telling you you are making too much money. —Robin Williams

• Tabby began by dumping a trashbag full of stuff from my office out on the rug: beer cans, cigarette butts, cocaine in gram bottles and cocaine in plastic Baggies, coke spoons caked with snot and blood, Valium, Xanax, bottles of Robitussin cough syrup and NyQuil cold medicine, even bottles of mouthwash. A year or so before, observing the rapidity with which bottles of Listerine were disappearing from the bathroom. Tabby asked me if I drank the stuff.
