I’m new to the site and want to thank you for resolving a question me and my friends have had for years. I’m from the uk but have also lived in Brazil and for the last 10 years+/- I have noticed the Coke/Crack from both places has given me the twitchy, paranoia side effects practically from the first hit when using.! (It used to only start around hour 36...!) As it seemed the same strength if not stronger I assumed I’d altered something within myself from years of use. Glad to be informed that hopeful isn’t the case and there’s been a drop in standards in the ‘manufacturing’ Thanks again.
Its partially due to cuts, more cuts can for ppl not used to high purity, and even in brazil average purity is only 40 to 60%, feel like stronger coke, and most ppl who are used to cut up average quality prefer it over high purity cause most ppl think that this highly stimmed effect that also gives sharp edges like tension, jitters, tweaking, not one bit feeling despite the energy boost totally relaxed in both mind as body as well, a huge crash afterwards and insomnia are actually effects from coke, but these are not at all coke effects but effects from several stimulating psycho active cuts which ruin the entire coke expierence.
Also lately coke is simply not at all as good as it used to be, however pure, since i dont even consider it real coke anymore since its no longer cooked with ether, instead of kerosine now cheap petrol from a gas station is used and many original ingredients used for coke production are replaced by way cheaper fully synthetic wanna be tolerable substitutes, which is not tolerable at all.
And like the person you quoted said most coke is produced in low quality self made dirty jungle labs by chemistwise total amateurs that it contains indeed lots of impurities and residues.
Also new cuts are being used, good coke should be shiny, but this really shiny coke these days is due to boric acid and other shit.
Coke doesnt even taste or smell the same as some 20 yrs ago, it now tastes and smells way more chemical and the effects are truly disapointing compared to the coke i knew during my addict days... My friends who only quite recently started snorting coke dont even know what this giga ego boost that can lead to a god complex actually is, this ego boost used to be huge making lots of coke users arrogant and overly self confident, now at best you feel somewhat less insecure... And since my friends live like me in the two countries with highest average coke purity worldwide they already had from themselves really very good purity coke and even when snorted from my above average and probably as pure as it gets 86% purity coke they didnt get this huge ego boost...
So fuck coke, coke is dead, only high purity basecoke i considered still worth doing but i even totally quit basecoke as well.
