Am I immune to cocaine?

I've tried coke a few times and still not quite sure if I'm just not getting good stuff or if it just really doesn't work for me. I read/hear about these god-like feelings and thing it would be interesting to experience.

The last time I tried some, I got some drug-store type urine tests, and tested positive for coke for over three days. I insufflated about half a gram in 30 minutes or so? For the record, I have a pretty fast metabolism and hadn't had any coke or anything else that might cause cross tolerance or false positives for months before that. Would this be an indication of the coke's quality and that I had a sufficient quantity? I hadn't bothered with reagent tests because I've read all coke gets stomped on a lot, and reagent tests will only tell you if there's some coke in it.

Should I just give up with coke? Was my experiment a sufficient test? Is there anything else you'd recommend trying? I'd never make a habit of it, but like I said, the extreme feelings others describe sound like a novel experience.



Mods: I understand that drug testing questions and what did I take type threads are not allowed. That's not my intention with this question. If you disagree with my interpretation, I will take this down. Thanks.

My first few times, it was subtle - still is really compared to other substances. You learn to identify things that say "hey i'm high".
 
I'd say if you done 500mg in 3 minutes, and you weren't obviously high, it is BAD coke. On that note, some people simply do expect too much from Coke. The GF was the same (without taking as much as 500mg) as you first time she tried it.

Oops, that was 30 minutes, not 3 minutes. I edited my first post. My concerns about it being "bad coke" is what led me to do the dip stick urinalysis experiment.

Looking on erowid, there's really no reasonable false positives, so that tells me that it really was coke I had.

Erowid says it can be detected 48-72 hours after a single use. It was 3.5 days before I tested clean, and I have a fast metabolism, so I interpret that as I had a decent quantity of coke.

My pupils did get bigger. I felt something, but it was less "high" than I'd feel from a cigarette. That's not really a good comparison, but I can't think of what would be fair to compare it to. Other people must get more out of it. For me, it the high wouldn't even be worth the time spend chopping and snorting if the material was given to me for free. I think holding my breath is more "fun".

I find it hard to believe that others aren't experiencing more of a high than I am. If it's just that my brain chemistry doesn't support coke, so be it. I refuse to accept that coke is that "subtle" for everyone.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Cocaine is a big waste of time, money, health and effort.

Also... Cocaine in the U.K is notouriously poor quality.
 
It's possible it's just not the sort of thing you enjoy. It's much more subtle than most would expect. So even if you feel you aren't getting much out of it, should you continue to try it again you may end up wanting to keep on with it. For little return it is one of the most more-ish drugs out there.

Stop now while you know you don't care for it and don't have a desire to do more.
 
The way you metabolize food and drugs are separate processes and are not related to each other. Metabolizing food quickly has nothing to do with how quickly you metabolize drugs.
 
Are you on any medications? I am on Effexor which is an SSRI at the dose i am taking and an SNRI in higher doses.I've had good coke that got everyone else high while i dont even get dialated pupils or any euphoria at all.

I've gotten coke from a relative who sells before he cut it and still nothing, i only got high my first time which was about a week or so after being put on effexor, i wasnt on it long enough for it (effexor) to start working at that time.

I've also read about this drug (possibly) being used for cocaine addicts.I cant find the source now so it may not be true at all.

I personally find cocaine to be pretty overrated - the first time I tried it I expected to be mind-blown so I was really disappointed as I didn't find it to be anywhere near that. As with any drug, most of the effects are pretty subtle and you learn to appreciate it more wth time, but I've never heard of anyone being 'immune' to cocaine.

You may be expecting too much, or it is really bad coke. You are not immune.

Probably both. Even when I finally got to try some coke over 80% purity, insufflating it still left me feeling a bit "meh" especially compared to the anticipated effects from all the hype.
I find it a very subtle high; it was only intense the first few times I took a massive hit of crack, and when I injected it. It's massively euphoric when injected, but among the most subtle of all drugs when insufflated in my opinion. If I smoke a cigarette in 30 seconds, I get more high than from a decent line of good-quality coke. It's a very underlying buzz.
 
I completely disagree with most of you. I used to say the same things that cocaine is weak and doesn't do anything until i met a friend who came here from Columbia. He had brought a lot of cocaine with him, and needless to say i wasn't too excited to try it. I did one line and slowly every part of my body became extremely numb, and my head felt real clear with a little heaviness. It wasn't a super a long feeling but it was real intense and euphoric. Most of the cocaine here in the united states is very very low quality and you would be lucky to find something that actually was decent quality. If you obviously aren't feeling anything or very little you are not getting good coke. In countries like south america many people have overdosed and died from snorting more than a few lines in one session, that obviously tells you about the cocaine here because people like you snort half a gram and still don't feel shit.
 
same here. Ive tried LOADS of cocaine over the years and all it does is dry my mouth out, give me a banging headache and a few hours of paranoia. Same with crack. Not even a tingle. When I lived in London both were everywhere and it pissed me off cus I was the only one who didnt take it. Give me some nice pure speed anyday of the week.
 
I had some really good times on coke. Many people say cocaine is social drug that is good for partying and such, but I think it's the opposite. You only really enjoy it when you're alone.
But I dont use it no more, overall I think it's really not worth it (and I live in a place where cocaine is cheap)
 
If you are not used to dopamine stims its a subtle experience that manifest in interaction with your environment as a reward effect. It would be difficult to sit there and try and feel the desired element of the high without experience picking up on the side effects as indirect indicators.

To be honest the closest i noticed it directly as a newb was the sensation of sexual stimulation or excitement. Then the high manifest mostly as you do things and interact at which point you are not focused on noticing its effects. Its about improving existing activities and not really a general sensation of being high that hovers over you.

This concept is even more apparent when doing large doses of meth where you are certinally high as fuck, but i still struggle constantly to identify how high i am where it not possible to monitor doses. The subtle effect that enhances and doesnt distract or makes itself to obvious is the appeal imo.

But that is beside the fact that street coke is shitty mostly and wont ever look back after meth, but there are new problems with that change. Coke is shitty but meth is just as shitty by being to good. I had far less issues and was still happy with coke.
 
You have shitty coke. If it was the good stuff, you would be having a much different experience. Good coke will rock you, there are reasons that there a billion crackheads in the world. They get the good shit.
 
This has been speculated on long enough. I'm closing it for now, as no one can say with any certainty what quality of product the OP had.
