Cocaine IV Cocaine- Is it worth doing if your not going for a bellringer?

A bellringer for me was psychological, or a way to gauge potency. Seems like this could turn in to an endless search for something that hits harder. I didn't see it as anything more than that, or some romanticized idea - I'm proud of you for steering away from it based on your more recent posts.

Well it sounds like you’re familiar with stuff….and I for one remember slamming Speedballz for breakfast back in the day, and it’s oh sooo good when formulated just right ;)
Be safe and have fun

^ an oxymoron of horrible advice. IV anything is so easy to over-do.
 
So I have shot coke before but never got a bellringer and only once did I get kind of high, but it felt good.

I was thinking about getting a gram next week, cooking half of it into crack and IV'ing the other half, a couple times with H.

Is coke ALL about getting a bellringer or is it pleasureable to just have normal sized shots that wont give me a bellringer, namely because I really dont want to die from this stuff. I do want to feel a strong coke rush though and I do have a needle fixation. The coke in my country has been consistently higher purity in the past years and I also plan to do an acetone wash beforehand so I can weigh out shots with relative accuracy. And obviously to lessen any harm caused by anything that is not cocaine.

The crack on the other hand I will be trying to achieve a bellringer as I understand it is somewhat safer(maybe marginally).
I am very experienced with most IV drugs, I have very good self-control when it comes to any drug except heroin. I shoot meth at most once a week but usually once every month or so. I also have access to 0.22um micron filters which I use for everything anyway.

Does anybody do this? I know everyone is always going on about how good a bellringer is and that they are always going for one but honestly, I dont feel like it would be beneficial in any way for me to go there. It would scare the shit out of me,, I would probably want to do it again and if a sub-bellringer is even good then im happy to leave it there.

What are your thoughts?
No. It’s not. 🤣
 
Well I guess I’m lucky cause I did it 100+ times (about 15-20 years ago) and I’ve just eaten breakfast now…..after drinking my oral Brompton Cocktail cashed with ethanol. All ingested 8am ish ….now it’s 955am

Methadone 100mg
Methylphenidate 50mg IR
Lorazepam 1mg
Pregabalin 150mg powder
Ethanol (Spirit 2.oz) Tequila Sunrise orange juice with a Kick X 3-4 over the next few hours during Ritalin’s 3-4h duration

Yes, dangerous……crossing the street in Brampton Ontario Canada is just as dangerous lol, really it is

Wow that sounds really nice, and quite similar to my morning situation back in like 2016.

Methadone: 100mg
Xanax: 2mg
Alcohol: finish half a fifth of cognac from the night before
Adderal or Cocaine: an additive for on the job socialization
 
Luckily the coke was used without me. I'm glad for financial reasons but also coz my body isn't what it used to be and I am not as considerate or careful when it comes to doing drugs now.
But I had planned to cook and smoke it coz I would have just panicked and massively underdosed my shots out of fear if I had been there and IV'd. I can't get comfortable with IV coke or coke at all with cardiovascular health issues in my family and just knowing how bad it is, that on top of anxiety just makes it entirely void of enjoyment.

I just had a fairly large shot of meth and had zero anxiety, zero blood pressure or heart worries and it was quite awesome frankly. I think I should just be grateful I can do that and stick to it. It's something I do so infrequently and therefore actually do enjoy it so that is where I'll draw my line.

Canada has MILLIONS upon Millions of firearms owners……prohibited class AR-15 etc handguns

I was 21 years old…..fireproof century safe under the bed, Smith & Wesson model 19-5 in .357 Magnum, blue steel 6-shot……a confused man entered the house and was talking to my mom and brother…..entire time I was waiting at top of stairs listening to everything. He wasn’t a threat and family came in seconds…he wandered off during their walk

But that 21 year old ready with 6 rounds of 110 grain jacket hollow points bucking out faster then the speed of sound……..one round centre mass if me or my family was in grave danger, assault with weapon, etc

But even at that Yonge age, I knew better, rules of engagement etc……JUST branding a firearm involves law enforcement……actually pointing a loading firearm at a human….WOW……you better be prepared to use lethal force

I excercised a professionalism mindful of law, social etiquette, mental health persons, de-escalation etc

If my mother was screaming being assaulted I would’ve blasted a slug into the wall……he’d either submit and lay down or advance…..in which I’d buck .357 slug centre mass dropping any man instantly…..bleeding out on my living room floor (these round can drop a grizzly bear with a solid hit

I instantly knew this man was mentally much younger and completely harmless, almost childlike…..him and his family had no clue about my Smith and Wesson .357 Mag

Your average firearm owner has an AR-15 (Colt M4 Carbine) Springfield M-14 rifle, Remington M40A1 bolt action precision rifle, Glock 21 .45, Colt M1911A1 .45, ….. a Beretta M9 9mm

We all go to crown land and buck off thousands of rounds target shooting and 12GA shotgun blasting clays outta the sky…….fun sport.

Slamming coke is fucking insane. Such a thi line between a nice bellringer and seizing up and having the ambulance called on you. Not a good time. Personally i think ill stick to ritalin and dexedrine thwse days in terms of stims
 
Not a recommendation but have to throw my ass hat in the ring. Anyone ever do a huge dose rectally? Like 200 mg more or less. I have gotten ringing in the ears from that as well as intense psychosis (intense euphoria before that but it is gradual enough that you aren't incapacitated). I have even gotten tremors from this sort of ROA, and overdoing it leads to an hour or so of complete insanity if you do enough. This is not a recommendation, again, and crack definitely has an appeal that just isn't approached in boofing. Crack basically makes me drool and unable to think straight and see straight for like 5-10 minutes with a good hit, but when I'm sober and craving it's not crack it's those big doses in the ass because you don't go retarded or slump out, you are just wide awake and thinking "this feels fucking crazy, did I do too much?" and you really do ride that wave for a longer amount of time and it's easier to resist the urge to do a bigger dose because you get to the peak slower and come down slower.

Crack has a fascination/obsession to it that freaks me out though. I am not a daily user, just every week or so or at worst I'll go every other day because it just wears me out so fucking bad. I'll be sweating bullets and bug eyed and dirty and exhausted and the whole cooking thing ends up being an obsession too, with boofing there is no technique just measure the dose and administer it so I don't get as tweaky so to say, digging for remnants and playing with fire and the smoking is so much more conspicuous than ducking into the bathroom getting your dose and then waiting it out wherever you want. A good crack binge will make me sleep for two days though, waking up in between but just so fucking exhausted and done with the world. Boofing has longer legs and a weirdly interesting afterglow, where I'm still bugeyed and weird but I'm not craving it whatsoever because it wigged me out so bad and basically spun me out to the point where I'm barely thinking about it. Crack becomes my world after the first hit and hurts my body more and it's not consistent and it's just such a chore to follow all the steps and hide it. The sweating is ridiculous too to me.

Boofing does get old though because once you're high as fuck you're not getting a rush anymore you're just getting more and more paranoid and psychotic and there's no rush to take you out of that hell like with crack. You just end up going nuts IME. Never shot it up got very close but all of yalls posts here throughout the years would always talk me down, I'd just look up old threads and see, like in this one, cool ass old timers saying it is the devil. I feel like that way about cocaine in all forms already so IV would probably completely completely totally take me down and make me suffer so I never got to shooting it up. Plus I would be ruined by an abscess, I would get so fucking freaked out and wouldn't be able to decide to go get it checked out or not out of fear. At least these other ROAs don't pose a risk like that.

Once from a huge rectal dose I was shaking in every part of my body uncontrollably for like 10 minutes, totally lucid but just unable to stop shaking. Only happened once but I've only heard of that happening with IV.
 
Coke dreams are also a big trigger for me when I'm about to relapse. They are almost humorously easy to interpret like metaphorically. It's always me with family, doing it in secret or trying to escape in secret to score then come back, then there's a big part where I'm really close to losing it because someone takes it away or I can't find it or it dissolves in water or something, then I create some crazy complicated risky plan to retrieve it and just when I'm getting close to recovering it I wake up and initially am satisfied that I got coke again but then realize it's a dream and think about how close I am at that point to scoring. It's really torturous

What are your thoughts?
What is your definition of a "bellringer"? Are you talking about the feeling where sound starts to fade away?

I always imagined it was halfway between a Meatloaf record and an old-fashioned schoolbell, but I obviously never had one
 
For me it sounded like that sound they play in movies when someone wakes up to a white light. Literally just a high pitch ringing. IDK if sound cuts out @drucaineHCI I only had it once smoking and it was quiet already 😂

Heard that shooting it is more of like a train speeding by type ringing.

It's an obnoxious ringing, for the record. Not a school bell lol @Chaurus

It's more of like a high pitched echoing going off in your head. It can get a bit tweaked out when your visuals are being affected at the same time. I've gotten to experience it both from smoking, and from IV use.. both were essentially the same, except when you experience it from smoking.. you know you're good and that it will subside.

When it comes from IV, at times you may get paranoid because you don't know how long it or how intense it's going to get before it stops.. that could very well be the last thing you hear before you OD.
 
My first taste of meth was IV, and it was a spectacular event, but you would have had to be in my brain and body to enjoy it, no real souvenirs from that except to know it was extremely fun, and the needle was handled by experts (the oldest of the group probably 27 yrs old - I was 21).
From the same group of people I learned that I loved cocaine as well. They claimed it was the king of all drugs, and one of them was a well known pop star stage musician/vocalist.
Meth was easier to get and I IV'd that maybe 10 times with my cousin while at university, totally into the degenerate functionality of student-ing and being high and present.

I never IV'd it, though I have freebased and smoked it - lovely fluffy white flakes in a glass pipe - later on as reagents for freebasing disappeared from head shops, I cracked it with baking soda and water, also a good alternative for a fast ramp to elevated status. Crack cocaine use, however is a compulsive behavior that does not really mix with life, unless it is the life you make your own with a torch and a spoon.

Then basically no cocaine for decades.

A Canadian vendor now offers a nose spray which is excellent, however, and after using up a gram that way I ordered more and dissolved it in the same metered nose spray with distilled water.
This ROI does not make the nose sore - and you can do it several weeks running with no irritation. Also smaller doses are rewarding.

Maybe I have lost the need to have bell-ringers, but I do love the cool wind in my blood, so much. It seems to clear my ears, my throat, my blood vessels in my whole body, and make me relaxed and alert at the same time.
 
I'm starting to think my body might be incapable of having a bell ringer coz I just had a very strong speedball that was close to too strong and I didnt get any type of audio distortion.

A speedball might not be ideal

Just shoot around 110 mg of good coke

Well dont for HR reasona but this is a sure way to get one

If I were to be having a great day because I ate good food and called a long time friend for the first time in a long time who made me feel more connected, a drug would probably feel even better, if that makes sense - but in contrast, trying to chase something that isn't much different than normal will leave you frustrated.

It's not some magical experience, it's literally just a brief ringing in your ears - it's your body saying "what the fuck are you doing to me".

I saw someone gave you a hard time a couple weeks ago in a different thread. That's shitty of them. You matter. We all matter just the same.
 
Unless you want to risk sudden and irreversible hearing loss (most doctors are fucking useless here and won't treat it, so it's effectively irreversible in Australia because most doctors bear the name Dr. Dickhead and have no idea that you need steroids (Prenisoline) and oxpentifylline (Trental) ASAP to treat this shit), please STOP abusing cocaine, especially in this way. It's extraordinarily dangerous and could literally kill you because that rush could stop your heart through an arrhythmia.

Incredible advice here

Please take this serioisly

You dont realize that your life is in danger

Arythmia can occur as low as 30mg IV

Stop now please

Ive OD’d twice in 3 weeks with cocaine IV and Ketamine cause i mixed boh

In the spirit of HR, and im not sure its even ok to recommend that, crack will get you 80% there compared to IV, the rush is “safer” so ID recommend if you must use and want the IV rush to learn to make your own crack
