Ola hermano , I m Italian but I live in Brazil and trust me, the shit I ve seen sold as "coke" in Italy ( but I guess it s a general Western phenomenon at least at street level) is disgusting. Unless you have real money or very good contacts the "coke" you sniff there it s in the best case scenario speed +levamisole + probably some coke here and there. Still, "coke" is everywhere and is trendy.
I ve really discovered what coke really was when I moved here in South America (actually I ve been indulging a lil bit too much but I m working on it). Fun fact : many gringos are so used to "coke" that when they try the real one feel kinda ripped off. ...
Glad to know people are more in the open about doing blow in Argentina, how s the situation opioid wise if you din t mind me asking? I ve always wanted to visit and it s probably one of the few places I can feel rich even with Brazilian reais
Nice to meet you, I can imagine something sold as coke in Italy as the most horrible cocaine sold in my city (it still manages to get you high but it's still dirtier than something good) but maybe it's not even close. The most horrible bag now available would be considered there perhaps to be of "decent" quality from what I've read, but I don't say that as if I'm proud of the availability of cocaine here in a country that really has a disastrous economy, with everything that this entails.
Regarding opioids, no, it is not really common here in Argentina, heroin is not available and opioids considered "weak" such as tramadol cannot be obtained without a prescription for a long time. Opioid use was widespread among young people at some point when the trap music scene made its way here. Codeine and Oxycodone mainly, but they are hard to get here and are really expensive if you can get access to them, so no one bothers to extend them to the general population.
Although, a few weeks ago they did a police raid in Chacarita (I don't know where it is exactly, I'm not from Buenos Aires) and they seized several vials of fentanyl among all the cocaine and marijuana they found, a friend mentioned a few weeks ago that someone offered him fentanyl but he rejected it, but interesting... so I don't know- There was also an incident where the cocaine was cut with carfentanil and some people died.

Maybe they want to force fentanyl onto the market, but I doubt many people want it. Man, it's hard for me to get some pills with only 60mg of codeine and 500mg of paracetamol, they even give them to me if they don't see me willing to pay for them... they don't know what recreational opiates are and I think it's better that way.
Although the use of Mdma, Ketamine and the mixture of both called "Tusi" is very common
Codeine in syrup is available, I have seen the Wockhardt brand bottle here. But it is expensive and it seems a bit strange to me, that brand is foreign, but the effect is like codeine and they are sealed, or it is a fake or someone really brought them here, I will never know.
Edit: I've talked about opiates in Argentina in the past here on bluelight, but some things have happened like the ones I mentioned that include them
So as not to deviate from the topic of the post. Good cocaine simply feels different and pleasant. The person who brought me some good cocaine today, "HOJALDREE or Laja" we call it here, told me that the things they used to put in it made the effect dirty and unpleasant so he preferred to sell it as it was.
Definitely the effect of cocaine is unique.
