Cocaine Crack Cocaine - Freebase Megathread

[G_Chem]

All serious drugs cause major damage, but it doesn't come close to the damage alcohol does for those that have to drink everyday so they don't go into toxic detox. My buddy chirs and I used reguraly do many grams of coke when we were hooked on heroin. He drank though, I did night. One night he went overboard and he had to go to the hospital to detox - he had opiates in him, coke, some mdma, oxy's, h, xanax but the one that nearly took his life was detoxing from alcohol.

So from the studies i've read, scientists don't know all that much on crack lungs but have found a way to treat it when patients are having trouble breathing, etc. They just pop them on a respirator and give them oxygen for a few hours and it clears them right up. So please keep your opinions out. Instead go over to pubmed and read actual studies done on meth smokers and then report those findings. Now that would have been helpful. See that computer sitting in front of you? It contains all the worlds knownledge - why people don't take the time to use it properly is beyong me.

"opinions are like assholes, everyone has got one'

“All serious drugs cause major damage.” Is about as false as it gets… (As is most of what you post, opinions and such.)

Yeah, there are plenty of studies showing crack fucks up lungs which a simple google search will uncover. I didn’t feel the need to “report findings” on every one out there, which is why I gave a brief overview of the pulmonary complications known to be caused by crack smoking.

I’ll state my opinion whenever I damn well feel like it, thank you very much.

What exactly was the point of the anecdote about your friend anyway? I think most people here are aware of the dangers of alcohol poisoning and alcohol withdrawal and agree that it can be quite a dangerous drug. But that has absolutely nothing to do with crack cocaine being dangerous in it’s own ways.

 

[cletusSamboy]

I'd say this would vary from person to person. I've been smoking crack about a gram once a month for the past 6 months and have noticed slight breathing issues crop up time to time like a feeling of unable to take a satisfying breath. Never coughed up black stuff after a session though. It's like any drug some people can get problems after a short time while others can use for years with no noticeable health issues.

 

[Mjäll]

Name one serious drug that doesn't cause damage to your body? You understand pot is not a serious drug right? OK looking forward to hearing your response so I can immediately start do this magic drug you know of that doesn't cause damage.

Very odd choice of word.

You have simply decided to equate "serious" with "dangerous".

Real serious drug users prefer less damaging and more insightful drugs like pot, psychedelics and dissociatives to childish and inane feelgood hits at the cost of one's life expectancy.

What you're doing is like saying candy is serious food and everyone knows meat with vegetables isn't serious food. It's so silly it's funny. Let's move on now.

 

[Antiprosynthesis]

This answers my above question.

We would assume high quality roks would result in smaller hits thus less quantity in a given period of time. Considering your admission of high quality source; 5g roks doesn't seem plausible in a day unless the cooked rok is inferior and/or crappy smoking technique.

Most long term smokers can testify to the trials, hardships and challenges in learning how to hit properly along with all the wasted crack they experienced especially in just the first few months !

Richard pryor had 1 ounce a day freebase habit. That's over 28 grams per day. Ths is in his biography and on interviews he did on tv. He said he was spending nearly 400,000 a year on freebase cocaine. He did this amount over the course of many many years.

I spent a lot of time learning how to cook crack, there's a video posted on reddit that goes through it step by step. Unlike most people who stop cooking when the crack is still white ( ie, baking soda ) , i cook it until it's an oil then i use an ice cube to cool it off assp to prevent any loss. For every gram I cook I get back .9 gram rocks.

When i smoke it, i put some crack in my pipe on top of the chore and slowly heat it until it melts into the chore. Then I put a flam to it, never directly or ever touching my pipe and slowly heat it up until i hear the snap crackle and pop. I tthen start to inhale all the while rotating the pipe back and forth until it's all gone. Then I hold that shit in for 30 seconds. I get bellringers about 1 out of 4 hits ( when i want a bellringer i put .5g rock into the pipe ).

If people had access to the best coke at 2.50 a gram they also would be doing that much. if i had richard pryor money i would probably be doing more.

Get this straight - i do not lie about my drug use. I am not trying to brag because i could care less what anyone thinks of me. I put out an honest question and since i though this board was all about harm reduction i thought i would get some good advice.

btw When i was a coke addict i went through 5 grams a day. i did that amount for about 10 years. Are you now gonna tell me that i wasn't snorting my coke correctly? And like i said , i got my shit through a music coop , 20 per gram , uncut , straight from my dominican homeboys in washington heights. I knew people on wall st. that did more than 5 grams, way more.

Snorting coke can in no way be compared to smoking, I suspect you have low quality HCL, I could never smoke 5 gs, I do half a g or max one g spread over many hrs, also you say for bellringers you take 0.5 hits? Thats over the top large amount, I get bellringers from 0.1 rocks, and I was heavily addicted to daily coke use for about 30 yrs, so I have lots of expierence...

 

[Antiprosynthesis]

I dont have any problems with my lungs or such as far as Im aware of, but someone I know and a severe base addict has TBC, can this develop due to smoking base?

 

[LyndonsJohnson]

Richard Pryor did not snort , he smoked freebase, He's on the record saying that he used to smoke an ounce a day, How do you explain this?

I have been using coke for more than 30 years and when i was just snorting I was using about 5 grams a day, My coke comes directly from the cartel. A dominican friend/dealer from NYC hooked me up with him. It is as pure as you can get, not cut. I am living in colombia,

For each gram of coke I get about .85 grams of crack. When I first started smoking a half gram lasted me all day. This lasted for about a week and it has steadily increased since then and is now up to about 5 grams. If my smoking technique was not effecient how to you explain that i only needed .5 grams to keep me high all day? Did I suddenly forget how to smoke it? Also, when i only did .5 grams i could get bellringers off of .1 grams also.

My source has not changed, nor has my cooking technique,, and I smoke it like i've always smoked it.

I corrected my statement about needing .5 rocks to get me bellringers. Since crack is not sold here i meant to say I cooked up half a gram so the rock was about .37 grams not .5.

When i take a hit of crack the effects wear off in about 5-10 minutes max. I don't' understand how yoy can stretch one gram over tje course of a day if the average high only last about 5-10 minutes? I have a highly addictive personality so when the effects starts wearing off I immediately take another hit. So a one gram rock only lasts for 1 hour or so.

I don't know what else there is to say here. I smoke 5 grams and i am sure my tolerance will increase and so will the amount I use.

IDK why so many people feel the need to argue with you! Cocaine tolerance builds VERY rapidly with regular use. I can only
guess that the overwhelming majority of people calling you out have never been able to afford sustaining a cocaine habit as large as yours, and have therefore simply never had access to enough of it to build up to your level of tolerance.

So instead of considering the fact that maybe their own personal experience is NOT the only valid experience on Earth, they instead just assume "Well *I* could never do that much cocaine a day without killing myself, so therefore that means *nobody* can."

I'm going to tell the people arguing with you right now that if they had unlimited access to good blow, and slowly built up their tolerance, they could *easily* blow through three to five grams of coke per day.

The people doubting you have obviously never read up on Stevie Nicks during Fleetwood Mac's heyday in the 70's, if they genuinely believe that your level of use is impossible. Not only is it VERY possible, it's not even THAT much compared to what some of the amounts the wealthiest cokeheads were using at the peak of their usage. According to Mick Fleetwood, between 1976 and 1979, Stevie Nicks spent over $1 million on cocaine that she used personally. That's a million dollars worth of blow in 3 years, at 1970s prices! But I'm SURE that the cocaine that Fleetwood Mac was scoring in the late 70s was probably garbage, right? LOL!

Hell, Mick himself estimates that if he put all the coke he ever did into a single line, that line would be over 7 miles long... and HE thought Stevie was doing way too much! Both of them are still alive and well, BTW... in their 70''s. So MAYBE not the automatic death sentence your heckler is making it out to be! Just saying.

Anyway, don't let the doubters get under your skin. People lie on the internet non-stop, so a lot of people find it very easy to assume that every single person online is lying. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but you know the truth, so who cares what they think! I for one, believe you. Which is why I definitely fear for your health a bit. I think a month long tolerance break would probably be a really good idea for you…

As to the size of your bellringers, with your high tolerance, and the lung capacity of someone as athletic as you are, I think it is perfectly feasible that you can take down a half gram in a single rip. Hell, I can easily burn through half gram of fire in an hour, and I am in terrible shape, middle-aged, and have an extremely low tolerance. Yet I have never experienced any chest pains, paranoia, or unpleasant come downs. It's almost as if everybody's body chemistry is different, and everyone reacts differently to different chemicals… go figure.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. You have just been using way too much for way too many days in a row. A nice long tolerance break, and you can be back down to a gram a day and no time, and probably getting more enjoyment than you were getting from five a day now.

Anyway, the main reason I'm replying to you is because I have a question about your conversion method. Once you cook up the solution of hcl, baking soda, and water, you say you rapidly cool it with an ice cube?

As in you dip the ice cube directly into the solution? I have been cooling it by setting the bottom of the spoon in ice water, being careful not to let any water and get onto the spoon. If you are dipping the ice cube directly into your cooked up base, how are you preventing the good stuff from sticking to the sides of the ice cube and losing it? It seems like a much more efficient way of rapidly cooling it than what I've been doing, but unlike you, I am not wealthy, nor do I have ultra cheap Colombian cartel sources, so every little bit counts!

If you could explain your method in a bit more detail, and how I can use it while minimizing loss as much as possible, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Stay safe out there, and give your poor heart a break, friend. Hope you have a great weekend!

 

[Mjäll]

Yes serious implies dangerous. When talking about shrooms, lsd, etc ( which btw are my favorite drugs ) intensity is the word used to descirbe them. So again, LSD, shrooms are not serious drugs, they are very intense but they are non-addictive. On the other hand when one refers to a serious drug it implies that there are consequences associated with it's use. Comprende?

As for "crack" lung, there are no conclusive studies on it so as I always do I follow the science. I have been smoking daily for nearly two months, about 5 grams a day and have not noticed any decreased performance in my cycling. This includes during intensive intervals, hill climbs, etc... Also there are studies that show putting someone on a ventillator for a bit clears it all up. Again not my opinion, these are medical studies.

OK now lets address tolerance because i don't think you quite understand why i can do 5 grams a day and richard pryror an ounce a day. Do yourself a favor and read this study on "Cocaine Tolerance". To sum up one of the most important points, daily users have a significantly lower rise in blood pressure and heart rate the longer they use cocaine. Casual users on the other hand have a markedly increased bp and heart rate which are the two main factors that contribute to the morbidity of cocaine users. Comprende?

In all my life i've yet to hear someone utter the phrase "My friend has a very serious addiction to LSD".

So all in all you have taught me nothing. Absolutely nothing. I suggest you listen to the wise words of Abe Lincoln "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt".

Here is the study on cocaine tolerance.

"Cocaine Tolerance: Behavioral, Cardiovascular, and Neuroendocrine Function in Men"

Cocaine Tolerance: Behavioral, Cardiovascular, and Neuroendocrine Function in Men - Neuropsychopharmacology

Cocaine tolerance was assessed by comparing the acute effects of cocaine in drug-abstinent men who reported occasional cocaine use (n = 6) and in men who met DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for dependence on both cocaine and opiates (n = 6). Peak plasma cocaine levels were equivalent in the two...

You have decided that i am stupid because you have arbitrarily changed the meaning of a word and expect everyone to get along?

Whatever man, haha

Okay, I would sincerely like to apologize to you, I read the extensive post of the previous poster and can only come to the conclusion that the things he said - I assume where at least for a large part about me - made one solid point after another and I suddenly realized that I was very wrong in really an ignorant way by having stated what I did, also after having read this I started contemplating how it was exactly possible I actually replied to you the way I did and by contemplating this it instantly, it didnt take a lot of thoucht process to again realize how wrong I was since it now seemed really obvious to me, the errors I made that lead to my reply present themself in a very obvious way, however I started a more conscious thought process about this since considering something obvious to actually have any reality value without thinking this thru before engaging in a conversation is most likely the main mistake I made in replying to you the way I did...

The only thing I could try to say to maybe find a reason for how it is possible that I now seem able in making such an obvious error, and I really want to state this in a very careful way since I consider what Im about to say to possibly carry a great risk; I dont want to come across as if Im looking for excuses to try to justify my errors, well Im really not trying to find any excuse I actually really believe that I can add relevant information of which I fear will be misinterpreted so that Im actually scared to add this but Im going to do so anyway as I feel this could actually offer some explanation as to how it was possible I was that ignorant, but at that moment I was suffering severe sleep deprivation due to not having slept quite a while being on a serious amp binge which.itself was part of a series of amp binges where I also between binges did not even by far took enough time to actually catch up with sleep (8 day and night binge, few hours sleep and right away again did.an 8 day and night binge and by the time I was replying to you all this had already repeated itself several more times in exactly the same way, and by the time I said what I said to you, my mind actually wasnt able to function anymore, I wasnt even capable anymore to perform even very basic and primal thought process which in turn also rendered it in impossible for me to perform even really basic tasks, I also almost burned my house down, I started cooking food but while doing so I lost all realisation about what I was actually doing and without having any idea.of how I went from cooking to laying in my couch, but actually laying there realizing that my home was fully filled with smoke is the only thing I am awaren of what followed on my only previlous aware notion namely starting to cook, I consider myself lucky that there was no actual outbreak of fire as it seemed clear that already quite some time had.passed before I realized my home was full of smoke, maybe this gives you a better idea of which state I was actually in and that my mind at that time was not able anymore to cope with even the most simple taks...

I would also like to offer you an apology for being rude as I now consider it to be disrespectful of me to having replied the way I did, I really did.not in anyway meant to imply you were a lyer and I did not mean to imply anything else either for that matter, at the time I wasnt even aware that what I said would possibly imply you being a lyer.

I hope you can tell by the effort I put in this apologies I actually take this.matter serious, I feel like I failed in some basic and quite essential ways...

I can only hope you will be able to have some degree of understanding as to in what kind of mental state I was with what kind of limited (,,mental) capabilities I suffered...

I also hope you wont hold this a lifetime against me...

Cheers.

 

[carleygurl]

Can anybody tell me why when i shock my crack with an ice cube it goes gooey and takes longer to harden? I know what im doing just it doesn't go gooey when i dont shock it it just goes hard asap on knife

 

[HardSplenda]

Why, in the same batch, is the hard tasting awful all of a sudden??? Like a mix between burnt rubber and metal. It’s so bad I honestly dread going back for my next hit. i’m not doing anything different than I normally do, and I’ve tried several different things. I have burnt and washed the copper before hand, also tried not washing it. I have tried cleaning it after a couple hits, I’ve also let it get to where I wouldn’t have a way to push the filter out because so much is caked in the glass. This stuff is not what I normally get, it has tons of black oil After each hit. Somebody please help me because I don’t want to waste this stuff. By the way, in a 4 inch stem, after packing real tight how much Brillo should be in there? Like half-inch ?

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

^recook the crack. put in water, heat, collect the oil off the top with something like a paperclip. result will be much cleaner.

 

[builtfromrockbottom]

^recook the crack. put in water, heat, collect the oil off the top with something like a paperclip. result will be much cleaner.

Well hell - is there an instructional video on how to do this without wasting it? I can’t even make macaroni and cheese without burning it?!? I do have enough left to try and experiment with some, any idea where I could find some step-by-step detailed instructions?!? Lmao !!!

Don't put cleaning chemicals (or drugs made from cleaning chemicals) In your body.

The reason you're heart is racing is probably from ammonia left in your product.

Follow lab safety procedure, a base that doesn't leave ammonia in your product, and foodsafe chemicals.

Get proper ppe as well. You will need a labcoat, splash resistant goggles, thick rubber gloves, proper footwear, and trousers. Also if you spill anything on you strip down naked and jump in the shower.

You are working with a hot basic solution. This is rather dangerous considering how corrosive it is.

Ammonia is a gas. It cannot chemically remain in the product once dry. How do you think the original cocaine itself is made? Oh yes, ammonia! And about a dozen other deadly chemicals. These chemicals cause chemical reactions, and do not remain in the final product (if done correctly.) You clearly are not aware that ammonia is a perfectly common way to make base, and necessary as well, if you wish to make almost 100% pure freebase. Some use ether, but you don't have to. When cocaine hydrochloride mixes with ammonia, it almost immediately becomes a base. Warm it slightly, and the ammonia/cocaine mixture goes from thick white sludge to totally clear, with solid base cocaine separated at the bottom. That's because the two can no longer combine, the chemical reaction has made the cocaine base completely immiscible with ammonia (meaning it cannot chemically mix at all, like oil and water.) Remove the rock, thoroughly rinse and dry, and once it's completely dry it is 100% impossible for ammonia to remain. The reason this guy's heart is racing is he smoked a soda rock sized piece, and ammonia cook is stronger, the rock denser. While a perfect bicarb cook could possibly, technically, come close in strength, it virtually never does, because it's extremely difficult to perfect. Ammonia rock, by my experience, is almost always much stronger, as its almost impossible to screw up. The guy with the racing heart used too much. Please understand what you're talking about before dispensing advice? Does that seem fair?

Actually, the difference between baking soda cooked and ammonia cooked is not that tiny, according to jellinek crack cooked with baking soda has a max purity of 74% while base cleaned with ammonia has a max purity of 99%.

 

[trevrett]

Excellent response. I'm not a chemist, and though I highly suspected this to be the case, I couldn't state it as fact without a source. Soda cook is noticeably weaker to me, but opinions are subjective.

Hello! I want to purify some coke and re crystalize it using fumaric acid. It's imposible to me to get HCl, but i have highly pure fumaric acid, how can I use it to make a salt with my freebase? I hope someone can enlight me about this, thanks all of you again!

Didn’t even know cocaine fumarate is a thing.
