crack smoking - crack shooting - which more effective & also which more dangerous ?

hi y'all

i have always banged my crack. as a matter a fact- however, my veins are really hard to find as of late...

so i'm going to start smoking it instead...

i was wondering...

which is really the more effective method- & which is more dangerous?

i've always used vinegar....and as far as smoking...i just tried it, but it seems i may be doing it wrong...because it's not really doing anything for me?

thanks!
 
It really depends on the effects you are looking for. Mainlining any drug will hit you fast and hard due to the fact that it is going directly to your blood stream. As far as smoking crack goes its being ingested through your lungs which will administer a different high but basically as fast as injection. You may be doing it correctly but just not be satisfied with the high, if you still think you're doing it wrong, search the forum for methods or how-to's of smoking rock

yeah, i've always been IV everything. i guess i have death wish lol. i've literally iv'ed everything from X to ketamine. even concertas lol! they are a bitch to do though-

i really don't even have any veins left. it's just that when i smoke hard, i feel like i'm wasting money, because it seems so second rater compared to slamming it.
last night i even had people light it for me and guide me through it. bascially, all i had to do was inhale, but i think it still didn't compare to the feeling from IV. I guess I won't continue to smoke it, unless I literally can't find a vein ( which happens all too regularly).

i was considering getting a hard-on and then using one of those veins...but I don't think that it's worth the risk of ruining my penis. thank god i'm not that deep into the galaxy of seeking highs. i've got my scripts to suboxone, seroquel, effexor xr, and neurontin (which i take faithfully daily); all to save me from death my accidental high seeking in order to cope with schizophrenia and bipolar and depression/anxiety diagnoses!

i'm like the bruce wayne of getting high lol! >_<
 
IV'ing is always going to be more dangerous. The risk of OD is much greater plus all the complications that can come from using needles.

As far as the feeling is concerned... you don't get much more powerful of a rush then from shooting crack/coke. It's incredibly intense. For some, it's even more compulsive and addicting then smoking.

Either ROA is very fiendish though and will ruin your life faster then you can say "pass the pipe"
 
at one point it shooting it did have complete control of my life. to the point where i went to county jail for 9 months, because I refused to engage in court mandated treatment. i don't know if this makes sense, but during my time incarcerated; the sobriety i experienced put my life priorities in perspective.

i realized that:

family is always more important than the next fix.
life is more precious than a synthetic and very temporary high
we all have a purpose on earth to love and help one another.
the current physical entities that hold our eternal souls are just here to help us connect to each other and love


subsequently...my "addiction" has been removed by the universe...and I am able to enjoy synthetic and chemical highs for what they are- and not make them the epitome of my existence!

love to all.
 
I'm the same way...I love to bang everything. It depends on what kind of mood I'm in on which ROA I use for crack. I too use vinegar or lemon juice. I've always heard those two things destroy your veins.

Yeah they really do. Safest way and easiest on the veins is using citric acid powder. They give away packets of it at needle exchanges. So, that and a micron filter ideally.

I've done the white vinegar/lemon juice but, it will destroy your veins and damn does it burn like hell if you miss even a drop.
 
If you are going to shoot, always get powder.

Converting the crack to cocaine acetate is very acidic... (To be in your veins that is.)

Smoking it in a shooter is highly prized but is very dirty...

I always have and will use any freebase off foil... Less cocaine gets destroyed.

smoking crack is more effective (higher peak drug concentrations in the brain, and faster onset than IV) and probably safer, because when you smoke a drug, you only consume the volatile portion of it. injecting crack means you're also injecting lots of salts, fillers, random cuts, etc.. because 'crack' was designed with the thought in mind that those fillers and such will get left behind on the brill o pad and is rarely if ever pure enough to be considered safe for iv usage. when you smoke it you are ionly consuming the alkaloids .. cocaine lidocaine, benzocaine etc rather than all the alkaloids, plus random salts, plus random acids plus random junk.

the fact that you have to add acid to 'break it down' and many crack shooters don't exactly have a box of ph strips or even proper acids around... i have heard of people getting serious vein damage from injecting crack with lemon juice. the fact that cocaine is vasoconstrictive does not help either; iv use will cause your veins to get seriously messed up pretty quickly.

Whoa... really? I never got into it and hence wouldn't know. 8( *the more you know

any ideas as to why this may be? maybe it just delivers the right temperature application to the material to be ideal?

You make it sound so dirty ;)

Thanks for the literal breakdown of that. Very good read.

It's no direct contact between the cocaine and the flame even by accident unlike shooters and chore boy.

It also allows on better control of temperature.

It sickens me how most just put the lighter straight to the tube...

I even smoke freebase out of pizos rather than shooters.
