I read on wiki(I think) that cocaine has an half life of about an hour, though effects seem to diminish before then; but not on your heart.

Anyways, my idea is Say I inject half gram one night spaced and hour apart, and also premixed with coke and water for consistency.

Lets assume i Have 0.5 gram and dissolve about 80 units in it and draw it up to see how many units are now in the syringe (it would not be 80units, but more from the added coke, trust me), then add water until I have a full CC (100units)

Concentration


1unit: .005 (g)
5unit: .025
10unit: .05
15unit: .075
20unit: .10 g (this dose could be dangerous, I have found that some bags are more pure in some ares than others, so don't assume the first .05g was weak and try .075g next, you may find that the second one is twice as strong gram for gram.
1000unit: .5g
Now to be careful I will try 5 units first (.025g), then 10 units until I get a feel for the product.

My main Point, for simplicity, say i take 20 units an hr (0.1g)
assuming a half life of one hour (kinda tired hope my math is right)

amount IV'ed After one half life (1hr)(g) Total Amount in body (g)


1st Hour .1g skipped to 2nd hr .1g
2nd Hour .1g .05 (1st hr) .15
3rd Hour .1g .05 + .025 (1st hr) .175
4tht Hour .1g .05 + .025 +.0125(1st hr) .1875
5st Hour .1g .05 + .025 +.0125 + .00625 (hr1) .1937

My point being, the longer your binge is, I believe it can be a health concern. Please correct me if I''m wrong. I'm just trying to get this info validated and out there for harm reduction, this would apply to snorters as well, be careful.
 
I'm sorry but could someone put their two cents in. If I'm wrong, tell me I'm an idiot, I won't me offended i got the half life from wiki. I know I am new here, but I will slowly progress withmy old addictions and problems and how I learned to cope without them.
Thank
JM

Edit: I just want to try to keep people from having health issues that's all, and I have noticed this from personal experience but maybe everyone here know that already.

This is right. If you keep dosing cocaine all night, it builds up in your system. And the "good" effects of cocaine disappear way before the drug is cleared from your body.
