Hi everyone!

Brand new here, this is my first post.
I recently tried using a lighter to 'melt'
down some crack (power form unavailable at time),
and, although I was able to draw up some liquid
w/ a 30 gauge, 1/2", 100cc syringe, I noticed that
there was still a great abundance of tiny rock
and 'powder' particles left in the spoon, and, hence,
when I shot up the liquid--which was probably 95%
water--I didn't feel anything.

But, even before shooting, I tried using a lighter
like 3-4 more times, even used a small knife &
then the plunger to 'soften up' the particles, but
alas--no avail.

If anyone knows why this happened/what I need
to do differently in order to avoid this crap in the
future, ANY help, ASAP, would be TREMENDOUSLY
appreciated!!! : )
 
You did it completely wrong. You can't melt crack and inject it.

You need to dissolve it in vinegar or dilute muriatic acid, which converts it to cocaine acetate or hydrochloride salt form. These are water soluble salts and you can just inject the cocaine-vinegar or cocaine-water.
 
You need vinegar or in a pinch lemon juice.. Crack will dissolve in vinegar in like 3-4 mins and you can bang it then. The vinegar does burn a little bit.
 
Just curious, what is the point of IVing crack? I have never done cocaine, but from what i hear crack is pretty damn intense. WHy not just smoke it?
 
how much vinegar is necessary? I mean, like, is there a certain ratio that exists?
of, say, volume (mL, etc.)/mass(grams)= volume/mass= (mL/grams)???

Also, quickly, how long would I have to wait to do coke after taking my suboxone (8mg, 2x a day, a.m/p.m)? Is there anything you can do to speed it up, or, better yet, anything you can do to greatly reduce--if not eliminate entirely--the effects of sublingually administered suboxone, like swallow it, exercise, slam a shit ton of water right after it dissolves? PLEASE help me, please!
 
Distilled vinegar is usually 5% acetic acid. If you want to prepare a 50mg shot of crack, and it's 75% pure (only 37.5mg of cocaine freebase in the rocks you call crack), you'll want ~0.19g of vinegar. The atomic mass of cocaine freebase is near 300, the atomic mass of acetic acid near 60, so you want a ratio of 5:1 cocaine to acetic acid by weight so that there's an equal number of each molecule in the solution. The density of 5% distilled vinegar is around 1g/mL, so you are going to want 0.19mL aka 0.19 cc of vinegar in a spoon and then pour the cocaine into it and mix it around and heat a little (don't let the water approach 200 degrees Fahrenheit!). After a few minutes it's ready to inject, as it should be a fairly neutral pH solution of cocaine acetate in water in the spoon if you calculated everything properly.

Because, shooting crack is much more intense and gives a much more intense rush compared to smoking it.
 
^ Is it really? I have no experience with IV'ing anything, but I would imagine smoking would hit you just as fast, if not even faster. When you smoke something, it's straight to lungs -> heart -> systemic circulation -> brain. However, if you IV something, it goes basically to the heart -> pulmonary circulation -> lungs -> heart -> systemic circulation -> brain. So it would actually take longer for the drugs to hit the brain, no?

My guess is that people who find better rush in IVing than smoking are simply used to IVing stuff and are feeling the placebo effect. In reality, it shouldn't make much of a difference. I could be wrong, however, as I've never IV'd anything in my life.
 
I have yet to get any noticeable high from smoking crack, but IV always gave me an intense rush. I never did learn proper crack-smoking technique though.
 
Shooting crack gives you a tremendous high.
Just mix w/ plain, white vinegar, filter and bang.

Do not use lemon juice.

No need to heat, just stir until dissolved.

I shot crack everyday for 3 years. Speedballs mostly.
 
yes, it is a very intense high, but, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL because you never know the potency of the crack and I have seen people shoot crack and almost die..I know of person that died here in Greer, SC where I live that were in a dope house shooting up crack and one of them od'd and the person running the house literally kicked him out the front door in to the snow(one of our rare snowfalls) seriously - it was a a bad situation.. the boy was in rehab and had a pass to go home for the weekend........and everyone is right about the vinegar(in a bind, lemon juice) but don't miss or that S**T will burn like hell, if you hit the vein right, you'll never know vinegar was in it(as far as the burn), but vinegar is hell on your veins, so don't do this all the time..unfortunately, I know I good bit about this...but I prefer to shoot opiates........
 
Heat is an enemy of Cocaine. People who shoot powder Cocaine Hydrochloride do not add heat (some do, but out of a cultural 'this is the way we do things in my town' thing, not because it is good for anything).

Crack is solid Cocaine freebase. It has to be converted back to a water-soluble salt before it can be injected. Ascorbic Acid (the ingredient in Vitamin C capsules), Citric Acid (powdered or liquid) or in a pinch white vinegar (5% Acetic Acid) are the safest options. Mix with water and stir the crack, acid and water.

Cocaine overdose is very common and very deadly, especially with IV administration. A single dose of crack contains multiple shots worth of Cocaine. Injecting an entire rock of unknown purity could be fatal, or result in very unpleasant symptoms (projectile vomiting, etc).

Cocaine users that inject intravenous can overdose accidentally as the margin between an optimal rush and an overdose is small.

This seems to work well

1) put bit of cold or room temperature water in spoon -- about 1 ml or so

2) cut off piece of rock about the size of a hit you'd smoke (and certainly no bigger!), and chop it up

3) add the chopped up rock to the water; you should notice it floating or sinking or whatever, but NOT dissolving...if it dissolves at this stage, it's not rock cola

4) add citric acid powder, a tiny bit at a time, stirring the solution as you go. You should see the rock start to dissolve as you add the acid and stir. Keep adding tiny bits of acid, stirring, and waiting to see if its all dissolved.

5) When all the rock is dissolved, filter with a q-tip or whatever, suck it up, and let 'er rip!

JUST DON'T MISS!!!!

Anyone else have any luck with the above procedure?

Peace, and be safe!:)
 
lol first of all I would never shoot anything, if I did it would had to be something absolutely free of any adulterant...

anyways I hope your coke is the purest you can get.

so you wanna shoot it up... well you must first dissolve your crack in anhydorus acetone (look up solubility of freebase coke in acetone), stir well and filter out undissolved shit.
then you add 1:1 HCL/ethanol till no more HCL cocaine precipitates

Filter, dry completely and chop. Wait till it dries really well and then you're done.
AND USE DISTILLED WATER, NOT VINEGAR (ACETIC ACID IN YOUR VEINS? WTF)

Hello jammon.

We do not allow bumping old threads. As BDD is a fast moving forum, it's better to start posting your question (if you have one, which isn't the case here) in a new dedicated thread.

So I'm going to close this. Please read the BLUA and the BDD Guidelines in my signature, and PM me if you have any questions.
