Is this normal for a first time user? Literal first time so I was real careful. I was testing my batch, what crumbled between my fingers turned oily, it dissolved fully in water, so good signs overall. I went and gummed that which was on my thumb and index, felt nothing but a little twitchy for a while, say 25mins, pretty numbed out in my mouth and lips. Then my chest started to hurt, in short 'thuds' at first and then it spread to my entire sternum, becoming more constant and worsening with movement. I know coke fucks with your heart ofc, so I took a small amount of sublingual benzos (tolerance so high it might've been for the placebo of it) and drank water, did some deep breathing and sat down. It has since calmed down a bit, but there was no fun to be had... Is this related to my non-existent stim tolerance? Does it get less painful with time? I found no enjoyment in it, which is ofc a bummer. Could it be that it is just bad coke/cut with instant heart pain powder? Some other cheap synthetic upper that gave me such a choppy experience? Glad I didn't go for a line, and that I tried this out on a quiet place and not a club bathroom. I guess I'm just not an upper type of person :shruggies:
Interesting details: mouth was quite numb, from tongue to lips, despite the amount being ridiculously small.
No rush whatsoever
Panicky-feeling during the first phase, like jitters, extremely mild
Heart symptoms manifested after the jitters started to fade
Experienced some gurning (is that normal for a small amount??)
