Cocaine Crack Cocaine - Freebase Megathread

The narrower the pipe the better IMO. That looks pretty wide for a bowl.

Well that isn't mine, just a random picture, but maybe I should get a more narrow one.

 

[GBM]

That looks about the same size as my straight shooter. The bowl is JUST wide enough to slide a joint/cigarette in the end. I just ram some pre-burnt steel wool in there and just drop my entire rock right onto it. It has never failed to give me a fat cop killing bellringer (except when its empty of course). I haul on it hard but slow, lightly touching or "kissing" the flame to the rock.

Keep the pipe parallel to the ground, rolling it in your mouth as your hitting it. Once the rock has fully melted into the brillo I generally point the pipe downwards a bit so the flame can be sucked up into the pipe.

 

[TheMoney]

The end I'm pulling in from is like a little bit wider, it's a like a piece for a bong, but very obviously not a typical bowl piece. I'm gonna make it all the same width, hopefully next time it is better. Very frustrating to see crack melt away with little or no hit and not even resin to hit. lol.

 

[travelaroundNC]

To me the chore looks like it is not enough - probably need to pack in about 3 times as much in that photo.

 

[TheMoney]

Is it cool for the chore/brillo shit to be in different pieces? like 3 distinct 'pieces' jammed together to make it bigger, or does it all need to be one thing ?


Hitting it from the other end also seemed to make a bigger difference than I thought. Guess I should have tried that beforehand, lol.

 

[MyHondasFaster]

from your picture it looks like you need more choy, It wont matter if its a couple different pieces, as long as air can be pulled through the choy and not just around. Ive burned many a choy and had it meld into a solid piece that wouldnt let air pull through the center. And if you just cant seem to get it, I guess go back to using your weed bowls. I had a friend who smoked crack regularly and would never use a stem, because he said crack heads use crack pipes.

 

[TheMoney]

Ok, this is my set-up (my actual one)

at first I was pulling in air from the widened, 'bowl' end, but that was fucking up my hit the most I think. Since that night I moved the chore to the wide end and pull from the regular end... pulls much better and the flame has no problem getting to the chore/heating the crack... although I still haven't hit any crack since the other night... I really want to, lol, to see if I got it right.


Do I need more chore than that? Just cut off a big chunk like twice that size?


LOL @ 'crack heads use crack pipes' ... I feel the same way.. but I want to try smoking it the best I can. I'm like a drug connoisseur, lol, in that I want to take each drug the best way I can take it. I might be able to get crack hits out of a can or my weed pipe, but I want to be able to use the best utensil I can, which seems to be a glass stem from general consensus.

I'm like a drug connoisseur

This sounds so familiar. I never associated the words crack cocaine with connoisseur, but who am I to judge. I'm sure all crack but the finest is below you

LOL, admittedly, crack is my weakest game - I've done it the least. I prefer to IV my coke... but I have hardly any good veins left, and my veins have always been hard to hit, even for doctors... Crack is just easier. I resisted smoking it bc of the stigma forever, but I went off the deep-end IV'ing and realized I could maintain a comparable high smoking crack without the constant stabbing, missed shots, etc etc mess of neeedles/coke.

I do do the best of all drugs, but I get ghetto crack. I definitely get way better soft coke than I can crack... I need to learn how to cook.

 

[MyHondasFaster]

I never bought any pre cooked coke, and I resisted the urge to smoke it as well because of the stigma, but after my nose got stuffed up and I couldnt breathe through the left or right nostril, it seemed like the only viable option being that I never used a needle in my life. You will be way better off getting the better soft and cooking it yourself, at least thats the route I would take. And for chore size, definitely bigger than the pic, at least double that. Im not really sure If I can post publicly on here how to cook crack.

Yeah you can post instructions, dude people post the most detailed instructions ever on how to get around the new OP's, lmao, pretty sure we can talk about making crack (although, if I'm wrong, please correct me, mods

I figured I need to just get my own powder and cook with it. But... god damnit I don't even want to think about it. I KNOW people that know how to make crack, but every time they're too fucked up to do it and I never got to learn, so now.. I don't even want to fucking explain it, DAMNIT! lol! Ok new goal: back on to saving for good powder and making my own bomb shit instead of this ghetto shit I get that costs a fucking fortune.

EDIT: Okay! Awesome (and I mean that, this is a good thing as far as I'm concerned), so I was TOTALLY WRONG...

From someone who knows what the rules actually are:

Turning Cocaine HCL to Base is actually not breaking the BLUA.

Technically it is not synthesis discussion because it isn't a chemical reaction going from several substances to form a new substance.

It is changing the nature of a substance from a salt to a base which does not technically fall under synthesis.

I read something about this conversion once, but I don't remember much if any of it. I'd be interested to read about how it's done again and brush up on the technique

On a totally different note... The one time I smoked crack I got from some sketchy fucking dealing in Downtown LA was soooooooo bad. It pretty much ruined crack for me, although one day when I'm older and wiser I'd like to learn how to smoke crack, and certainly I'd love to try smoking really good homemade crack at least once. Like I said, when I'm wiser and older, as I'm too fragile atm

The first 8 or 9 times I smoked crack... and by 'times' I mean, 'all-nighters' was just this past December. Cocaine has been my favorite drug since I first tried it back in '08. I've snorted tons and tons of it, and had only dabbled with IV'ing it until December. The first few times, the crack wasn't as good, and I just didn't like it as much as even snorting it. However, I REALLY started to IV it A LOT this year, more than ever before. Like my entire binge was focused around IV'ing instead of just IV'ing once every hour or so along with my lines. It got really ugly, and after getting so deep into IV'ing it... taking lines simply didn't cut it anymore.

I've IV'ed opiates such as dilaudid and oxycodone several several several times, and honest to god, snorting cocaine is a high I've considered on the same level as IV opiates. That's how much I like coke. Obviously there's not the same rush with snorting blow as IV'ing anything, but I would reach the same plateau and just float there. I can't imagine anything better than coke, lol. IV'ing cocaine is a wholeee nother ball game, and as long as I did it once in a while snorting it was still just as enjoyable. But like I said, I was IV'ing the shit like crazy this year, and I was doing huge doses of like amazingly good cocaine... 300mg+ every shot.

I seriously just ended up with a shitload of coke that I didn't have anyway to get rid of other than to do, and I was so god damn tired of snorting it... I was trying not to IV it, but had started again and IV'ing cocaine in binges is akin to the most pleasurable TORTURE ever, lol! It's so annoying and difficult over time with vasoconstriction and all, but it feels so good. It's such an obsession.

ANYWAYS... During all this I had had some of my first all night crack binges with one of my friends who is a crackhead, or was a crackhead - we met in recovery but he relapsed hard. Crack didn't stick out to me during any of these times, in fact, I was like 'man, these crackheads don't know what they're missing out on in terms of IV...' -'crack is amateur' etc etc. And, I had that 'stigma' about crack, about being a 'crackhead' - which I still do have a stigma about, lol!

It really took me like my 7th-8th time over a few months period to really enjoy crack. Like, REALLY enjoy it on that level where I would want it more than just taking lines or something. Then, the next time I did it, I enjoyed it even more. I realized that smoking crack is super fucking easy relative to trying to IV coke every 20-30 minutes, and you can maintain a 'comparable' high for a long period of time without all the negatives of IV. In my experience I don't get 'quite as high', but it's definitely fucking good. I pretty much totally agree with the OP in this thread. I can see now how crack could be seen as even better than IV'ing - because of how much you dose per IV, because of how fucking intense it is, because of how gross it is with missed shots, stabbing yourself a million times, etc etc.

IDK, I feel like with any drug you really have to 'explore' it more than just 2-3 times to 'understand' it, or, for some drugs, to come to appreciate them and realize the high you're feeling.


I realized how good crack really was, and started buying it here, and I mainly get decent to not so amazing stuff whereas I'm used to having like.. the BEST powder. I've always had good coke. Now, I don't really want to go back to IV'ing because of the effect it had on me. I don't want to go deep into crack like I did with IV'ing earlier this year either.... but I do want to 'figure it out' completely. I want to get the stem down, as I assume that's the best way to hit it. Eventually I want to get my own powder and be able to cook it to see what REALLY GOOD crack is like - as I've heard it can be as good as IV, but I have my doubts.


Point is: crack is a grimy, ghetto as fuck drug that in most cases isn't even dealt with any fucking measurements. You buy a handful of pieces, you buy 100$ worth, or 200$ worth, not 3.5g or a ball, at a time, lmao. It's so crazy. You can get garbage, just like with powder coke, but crack, in my experience, you can only see how good it is by actually doing it. You can get a pretty good read on powder coke by look/smell/texture/etc. It's also really intense at first, I was just too fucked up at first when I smoked it. Remember, I've IV'ed the shit out of some coke, but crack gave me the worst comedown ever. Now, not so much. IDK, it's a good drug, but I definitely had to get adjusted to it before I liked it at all. I only kept smoking because my friend was and he was buying :D lol



*ANYWAYS, LOL*
-My original question was about hitting the stem, which I posted a picture of above, any advice would be appreciated. I've heard to put more choy in, which I will do. About twice as much, I think I've got how to hit it done, but obviously I'll figure it out more as I do it. I think I'll be able to test all this out soon, but any, any advice would be great. Does the stem look too big? Too wide? etc etc.

Thanks

Holy shit... I happened upon some really good crack, REALLY good shit just now. Totally unexpected. I'm fucked up. Wow. I'm still not doing it perfect and the bowl is a bigger obstacle than I thought, but it's working at least somewhat so far.


Damn... wow. Two hits and I'm GEEKED. I'm sweatin and shit. This was totally unexpected, I had no idea or plan of getting anything today. I woke up to a call and helped out someone who hooked me up. Wow. I been waiting to try some from this connect... definitely lived up to the hype. I took half the hit I normally take and I'm fucking TRIPPING right now. I was already on some percs and a couple benzo's chillin from those... so I got downers in me, but this totally overwhelmed those and fucked me up nice. This is definitely the strongest shit I've had, and I still don't even think I'm getting the full hit like I should be, lmao.


One thing I have a problem with... getting the crack to stay put in the choy. You put it in, and when you're twirling it it will fall out even if it's up against the glass unless you turn the pipe upward or something.

#crackheadproblems


mmm... I'm still doing something wrong. IDK what. I was getting some good hits, but I can't keep the shit in there unless I turn the pipe like perpendicular upward and it seems I pull too hard too early or something. IDK I'm gonna use my weed pipe to see what kind of hits I can get with that compared to the ones I been getting. This shit is strong as a mofo tho.


2 hours in: finding a rhythm a little bit.. doubled up on the choy, hitting it/heating it a little bit differently, heating the pipe more as opposed to just the rock. I melt the rock fine... nice and slow, but then it just evaporates when I hit it. I guess I needed to heat the pipe/choy up more first. Just tried that and got a really good hit. This is like the smallest amount of crack i've ever had, but it's gonna last me at least another hour. I got like 5x this much, as far as quantity, the other night and it only lasted 4 hours. This is what I imagined it would be like if I cooked my good powder up.

man... coke is so good, lol. It's just the fucking best. lmao.


*Finished*
-- That was a ridiculously intense 3+ hour session having what seemed to be NOTHING. I was like bro, that's 3-4 hits and my friend said if I did that in 3-4 hits I'd die. Definitely believe him now. Can't believe that small small amount lasted so long, and I don't have the control of the OP, to let each hit play out, lol, it was just unbelievably potent.


I ended up breaking off the bowl end of the piece after I finished because I realizd the bowl WAS causing more problems than I expected. the crack was melting on it and the metal couldn't burn it. So, I broke it off to get a straight shooter... I just did it the ghheto as fuck way - hammer with a flathead screw-driver, but i don't really care bc shit costs like 10$. I can get another or better on easily.

This is what it's now lookin like:

^^
and this is the end I'd be loading up... I wanted it jagged so it would hold it in more easily, but not a bowl like it was:

 

[TheMoney]

Ok, I think I'm gonna go back to the weed pipe for now. First, it collects better resin and secondly I have had success doing it and not as much with the stem.

You pack it with ashes, I know that - the weed pipe so they can heat the crack indirectly. Do you need ashes on top and bottom sandwiching the crack? I usually do that. What about a screen? i haven't been using a screen but since my pipe has been so clean, when I use ashes I'm sicking them in and it's disgusting. Should I get brass screen for the bottom? Will that prevent any resin build-up that would normally occur or not effect the resin? This is important bc a big reason I'm going back to my weed pipe is the resin build up.

Thanks.

Weird problem/phenomenon while smoking

While smoking, sometimes something really weird happens during the hit that completely ruins everything. This seems to happen randomly, regardless of if it's a new pipe/screen(1st hit) or used(later that night), or if its a big hit or small hit, whole rock(chunky) or the piece has been ground into powder; It happens at the weirdest times. Anyway, here's what happened: First loaded hit and had it sitting on top of chore(in glass rose pipe) and began melting it into the brillnce crackling and turned into goo, started tilting down while twirling pipe and placing flame at tip of pipe every other second, whole time inhaling slowly. But, sometimes maybe like halfway through the hit, it starts crackling very strongly and actually more like bubbling. It is extremely unpleasant and theres liquid inside the pipe,which looks like water or somethign. Have to clean pipe out and use new brillo after this happens.
Best way to describe it is imagine you have a cup of water, and you blow bubbles into it with a straw. Except now that same thing is happening inside the pipe,and if you continue your hit you dont taste the rock and it bubbles up into your mouth.

Any ideas? Would too much flame cause this?

Can someone compare shooting coke to smoking crack? I have heard people say they get a bellringer from smoking crack. I know people shoot crack too but I am not interested in that really. Either ill shoot coke or smoke crack but I have been liking the rush coke gives when mixed wit h

mmm.. I was shooting up a lot of coke this year. I would say the high is better IV'ing, but it requires more work. My veins are hard to hit and so many of them have been shut-down already, that it's really not worth the effort to achieve the high. I mean, like, it's so much easier to smoke crack. You can just take hit after hit, you don't have to find any veins, worry about vasoconstriction, etc. I think both are obviously amazing. If you can keep IV'ing with little problem, then by all means stick with it.. but if you have problems IV'ing at all, smoking crack is way easier and you can at least get a 'comparable' high. ALTHOUGH, I have definitely IV'ed higher quality/higher dose powder cocaine than I have taken hits of crack. I don't think it's even possible to 'hit' as much crack as you can IV at once bc it would just be too much smoke, but IDK about that for sure.

 

[MyHondasFaster]

So no ones going to post how they cook their crack? I was kind of waiting to see if anyone else did it the same way I did, either on a spoon, or in the microwave. Ive always wondered how people cooked true freebase vs my way.

 

[Transcendence]

I've never tried crack or methamphetamine. I've done plenty of d-amp and coke. I understand the differences in duration and general feel, but is crack typically considered more euphoric than methamphetamine? Is this why the crack "epidemic" in the 80s hit poorer neighborhoods harder than meth? Or was the crack epidemic just more sensationalized?
