Cocaine Am I feeling it correctly?

[InfamousLegend]

I have taken cocaine five-to-six times since the beginning of the year with varying degrees of physical responses regarding numbness. For the most part I will experience my nasal cavity going numb within a minute and progress to a drip several minutes thereafter. I have also experienced on one occasion my throat going completely numb for about 10 minutes, and another time in which part of my eye cavity went numb. Suffice it to say, the degrees of numbness and drip have varied greatly, sometimes not even experiencing a numbness at all. Aside from vary degrees of numbness and drip, I generally don't feel an alertness or my energy level going up although if I am drinking I will experience a sobering affect. Upon using high doses I'll experience an affect where I can't shut my brain off and sleeping can be difficult, but at the same time I don't feel energy, my brain just simply won't let me sleep and it feels like there's a switch that is permanently turned on. While difficult to understand this analogy, it almost equates to my brain feeling clogged.

Am I feeling the proper affects of cocaine, or am I receiving severely cut product?

Welcome to BL. Well, it's hard to know the purity of your cocaine just from your description, but it's very common these days for cocaine to be cut with numbing agents such as lidocaine which do cause numbness but no stimulation. Or your dealer might be giving you synthacaine, which is bought from online vendors. Who knows. There could also be some caffeine powder in your mixture which would explain why you can't sleep.

I do not like cocaine and have not been using it for a decade now because I find other drugs a lot more fascinating, but if I was you, I'd go to the deep web and get better quality cocaine.

If you are having difficulty sleeping it's either cut or you're doing too much. Too much of even pure coke can keep you awake.

pure coke should make you feel a bit tired or down after its worn off which is 45-1hr after the line. Yes good coke makes the high last that long from a line or two.

the high also sets in gradually. Right after the snort you feel good. But about 5-10 minutes later is when you should really feel like superman.

now it's near impossible to find almost pure coke. I say almost because it will never be 100% pure unless you get it straight from the guys who make it.

I have done 90% pure coke tested and proven and even so if I go on a binge all day you better believe it will keep me up for a while.


good coke also shouldn't leave you feeling really numb like you just got a shot of lidocaine at the dentist.

good coke will numb slowly gradually. Especially around the top of your teeth and around your nose.


it should also not clog your nose, at all.


it sounds like you're not getting very good stuff. Sounds like it's cut with a lot of caffeine or something.

We can't tell you over the internet, what you're feeling, and if it's the result of good or bad cocaine..

Telling the quality of a batch of coke, goes way beyond the numbness.. there are tons of cuts that also numb you, so just because you get that numbing sensation, does not mean it's good coke, or even coke at all.

ime, it's a pretty chill effect unless too much is consumed. It definitely gets me "up" but the more interesting effect is a sort of mentrally stoned feeling that lasts for hours. Taking too much gives me a mild anxiety takes a couple of hours to subside.

There's a little bit of numbness, but it's not overwhemling. I do have trouble sleeping on it though.

Maybe try a different connect and see if the experience improves. They should be cutting you off pretty, shiny chunks off a brick.

Pure coke is not a tweaky high at reasonable doses. That is what makes it so good.

It's extremely smooth and nice come up and come down.

It's like a mini-roll that lasts an hour or a bit less. You snort, peak around 10min mark, come down around 40-50min mark and pretty much all down around 1hr mark.

it's definitely stimulating, would be lying if I said it wasn't. You feel like you are on the top of the world. Good coke also makes you want to talk to people NON STOP.

Yeah, we can't tell you the purity of your cocaine or what else is in it, but from what you're describing it sounds like garbage..numbness is no gauge of quality...

And while I wouldn't describe good cocaine as "mellow and smooth", you should definitely experience a mood lift, alertness and some euphoria...especially from the first few lines/hits! A lot of the garbage out there just jacks up your heart rate and makes you feel all shitty and in a daze, due to the active cuts they use...It's a shame, cocaine seems to be kind of on the way out, and the RC's keep getting shittier and shittier..

This title makes me laugh, like you can incorrectly feel a drug.

 

[BlueHues]

I think we've told you all we can here....

There's three factors you can use to guess wildly at cocaine's purity. Duration, dose, and numbing effect.

If you need more than about ~100mg to feel stimulated, (and you're not like, a chronic meth abuser), it's not coke or cut to shit. Ideally you should really only need tiny amounts, not even "lines". 50mg bumps. Cocaine is a fucking potent psychostimulant. When it was used in medicine, a dose was like, 30mg. People often cut it to absolute shit now. It really doesn't help that people see Tony Montana hoovering up 3x5" coke rails.

If the stimulant effect lasts longer than about an hour, not coke. Cocaine should be rapidly destroyed in the body so peak effects rarely last more than 20 mins, and total effects wear off in about an hour. Longer durations indicate that it's been cut with other shit.

If it makes your whole face or throat numb from a little bit, not coke or cut to shit. Cocaine's anesthetic effect is mild and localised. Again, it should only last for ~1 hour.

Another presumptive test for cocaine is taking a little bit of it, mixing it with methanol and adding a grain of lye. Heat this gently til the alcohol evaporates and the residue should smell kind of floral - like hyacinth or ylang-ylang (methyl benzoate), if there's cocaine present.

Disclaimer; these won't reveal the presence of drugs like phenacetin or levamisole - commonly used bulking agents that can cause low white blood cell count. There is a commercial test kit for levamisole, though, I think by Dancesafe, that uses bovine alkaline phosphatase.

Also, cocaine still has "set and setting" to be worried about. If you're doing yay in a seedy bar you're way more likely to be anxious and paranoid than doing it in a friend's private residence.
