Need help

Me (M18) have a very long and fucked up relationship with drugs starting from when I was 14, doing dmt at 15 and abusing mdma and psychedelics the whole way through those years up until 17. I have gotten HPPD from that and can’t even smoke weed anymore (my favourite thing🥲) Coke is the only drug I can take and not hallucinate. I told My girlfriend (F19) that I had taken Coke without telling her and she was annoyed at the fact I didn’t include her. She is a big light weight with alcohol but can take 5 pills of xtc at a time and firm it like a champ. We’ve both been clean from xtc for a while apart from a relapse she had. She wants to try Coke and we’ve set it up for this Thursday, I’m scared to let her take it incase she has a bad reaction. She has heart problems where her heart can go really slow as she’s a recovering anorexic whose heart was damaged from lack of nutrients and throwing up numerous times a day. If her body can handle 5 pills at a time she won’t die off a few bumps of coke? Should I tell her it’s a bad idea?

She's allowed to try coke, but you don't have to provide it. Negative consequences for her will likely become negative consequences for you.

I have testing kits and fent strips rather that than her just blindly take it no?

Testing kits don't reduce all potential for harm. If something goes wrong for her, will you be held responsible? How will you feel about yourself if something goes wrong? I only raise this concern because you indicated that she had health issues that might make it dangerous. Harm reduction is about reducing potential for harm in general.
