Stay far, far, far away from levamisole. I worry about even coming into contact with it through cocaine usage, it's bad news.APPARENTLY this "go to" use of Levamisole as a cut/adulterant potentiates the effect (and I'm assuming would increase the half life given that the high supposedly lasts longer).
ALCOHOL definitely potentiates the action of Cocaine. I forget the details (but they're pretty much all over the Internet) i.e. there's a biochemical explanation for this.

True, although from a harm reduction point of view, I'd be cautious. But, yes, cocaine and alcohol produce cocaethylene and that increases the half-life by 300% to 500%.
Levamisole suppresses the production of white blood cells, resulting in neutropenia and agranulocytosis. I wouldn't ever intentionally ingest this, ever. Vasculitis and skin necrosis are also real prospects when dealing with it.
I am unsure why this notoriously poisonous adulterant has become a popular cutting agent.
For the fun of it how does this happen re: Levamisole? I mean: did a dealer or one of the bigger boyz sort of walk past a bucket of the shit on a farm somewhere, shove some up his nose, and say "hey: this is great to cut
For what it's worth:
Probably better you ignore my post above. Other than the alcohol (which as I said I'm sure about) the rest is probably garbage.
Levamisole: I was not advocating that you source it. I think I should make (and should have made) that clear. My point really was just to detail what it SUPPOSEDLY does. Whether or not the Cocaine you're using ALREADY contains Levamisole is anybody's guess.
4′-Fluorococaine apparently has an elimination half life of 3 - 6 hours. But from the reading I've managed to do in the last few hours on the topic: sounds like a waste of time and money (although it appears to be dirt cheap). There's a trip report on erowid as well as a thread or two here on the topic. Certainly nothing positive so far as I can tell. For sure nothing I'd bother with now after all this "research" (so I guess I should be thanking the OP myself because it was actually on one of my "to investigate further" lists at some point).

I mean to say: baby powder and whatever else I can understand i.e. it's what the lowlife dealer had lying in the cupboard at the time. But Levamisole is not something you'd ordinarily have lying around the kitchen now would you!
I think some some idiot thought it would be a good cut for cocaine becsuse levisamole metabolizes into Aminorex in animals and humans...so they thought the cut would give cocaine and extra "kick" or longer "legs" ...too bad its incredibly toxic.For what it's worth:

From the wiki on levisamole:
"Drug testing of racehorse urine has led to the revelation that among levamisole equine metabolites are both pemoline and aminorex, stimulants that are forbidden by racing authorities.[19][20][21] Further testing confirmed aminorex in human and canine urine, meaning that both humans and dogs also metabolize levamisole into aminorex."
