To avoide doing or even thinking about something you want to do very much. The main reason for not doing it is fear of guilt or losing the respect from a parent or peer. In fact, you make yourself believe that you really don't even want to do the thing you are repressing.

Coke that is cut on usually a wholesale level that is usually cut with procaine or benzocaine and mixed with acetone that is pressed with a large press machine to make it the coke into one solid piece to make it look like it might be uncut but people who truly seen lots of coke still can tell the difference.
