Cocaine Second Hand Crack?

[InsaneJane]

Im just wondering if this is something legitimate to consider- aside from the exposure to any sort of smoke of course. Is there any potency in the exhaled content when someone is smoking crack in the proximity of a non-user? Like some kind of hot-box effect?

I kinda think no, but I don't really know for sure. I don't even feel like directly shotgunning a hit works (sucking someone's crack hit out of their lungs, mouth-to-mouth). Still do it (well, did it), of course. Plus, the actual amount of smoke (I think it's actually vapor, not "smoke") is so much less than a whole joint or cigarette. Unless you happen to be in one seriously packed packed crack house! That's just conjecture though.

maybe if your crackboxing a car, but if your with someone outside who's smoking crack, you should be fine. But then there's the whole issue that your wasting your life hanging out with crackheads, who are probably stealing from you

maybe if your crackboxing a car

....last two times I crackboxed the car it didn't work.
....first time, after a few minutes, my friend was like, "bro, i think it'll work better if we put the convertible top back up."
....second time, my same friend forgot and opened the windows, so all the wind rushing past sucked it right out, leaving a trail of crack smoke floating down the highway behind us.
....oh wait... HarmReduction... You should only crackbox parked vehicles. Ones that are inoperable, in case you get paranoid and tempted to try to escape shaddow people.
....don't crackbox cars at all!

I dont know if it actually boosts the high or not, but when I used to do it w/ the chick I used to smoke every day with we would do that kinda like a foreplay...even just the crack was sexually satisfying to an extent, but pretty soon there would be no satisfaction at all. Honestly I think even if it's just placebo, it's better than nothin -- DO IT -- anything to boost your crack high is worth it (unless you're just tryin to conserve the crack...that will never work! Just smoke the last rock, you'll fiend a lot less, believe)

No you wont get high off vapors unless your cooking ALOT of rocks or someone is just blowing it in your face & your intentionally inhaling (even then I doubt it) But there is a chance cocaine whould show up in a drug test

Yes there is

First of all there's the practice of exhaling in a baloon and then re-inhale.

Second, I remember someone smoking crack mixed with tobacco in the presence of a lap dog. The dog got all excited (started running around and barking) from the "smoke" in the room.

^I don't know if this works or not but the fact that people do it and the way a single dog reacted is far from convincing proof.

I do not use crack, but here are my 2 cents.

If you are good at what you do, you should be able to consume your crack without wasting much/any of the smoke; and after inhaling for ~2 seconds, all the active ingredients will have been consumed.

If you are a noob, or your pipe is fucked/not efficient, there might be smoke leaking/being wasted; then the "second hand crack high" is more plausible.

I can assure you that the way the dog went mad around the house was a joke to all present. To be precise, the person in question was smoking the crack in little bits mixed in a cigarette, ie in a very wasteful way indeed. This may apply to smoking it with the beer can + ash method.

We ARE talking about crack heads... 8)

Have you seen the vast plumes of smoke that you get off a decent pipe? No set of lungs in the world could absorb that kinda volume. I always held it in for a minimum of 30 seconds and still be able to fill a room with a thick layer of crackulo-nimbus cloud cover :D

Always used to get a noticable contact high when around people smoking but not partaking myself but could well have been placebo. The contact high phenomena is pretty well documented though. Whether you really could get enough effect just from second-hand smoke to consider it a real high I don't know but I the smell of rock vapour and if you're in the room with people smoking there's always a chance they may give you a few puffs to turn possible placebo into definite reality

Also, crush rock to powder before putting it on the pipe for maximum smoke - more surface area = more smoke = more pipes per stone. Watching folks put a whole ten stone on the pipe, fill their lungs, waft most of the still-billowing pipe around and about the place then breathe it all out a second later then wondering where their £100 had gone an hour later used to break my heart. Even if it was me that had sold it to them

When I let my cracky lungs out there's usually no plumes of smoke - Try and hold it in as long as possible.
So no, I doubt there'd be much to "fear" in terms of that.
