Cocaine - Is it a joke in this country or is it really out there.

Awesome information Phase_Dancer.

As I understand it though... most Coke that hits Australian shores these days, is produced, refined and then, packaged in Indonesia. Obviously, the Indonesians aren't as "resourceful", as what the Columbians are... plus, I'd imagine that they are alot more "newer" to the Coke scene. So... yeah, there's alot of different factors to take into consideration there.
Also, I'm also assuming here, that the Indonesians don't have the means for mass-scale production, so this may be affecting Australia's flow of the illicit Cocaine market.

Most Cocaine you will stumble across in Australia, I could pretty much assure you it won't be coming from Columbian sources, say... unless one of OUR major crime syndicates was to somehow get a reliable connection in another country in the Southern hemisphere, and maybe this source was getting alot of Columbian "product"... from at least a "3-way-link" drug connection.

Cocaine, unlike Heroin... is alot more harder to come across on the street as well, so this may also be affecting the whole availability aspect to it.
You only have to walk down "known drug spots" scattered throughout Melbourne, Sydney, or... Goldcoast cities/towns to see how much more of a "necessity" Heroin is to the whole drug-trade. We haven't really had a coke/crack epidemic in Australia as of yet... so obviously Coke is not as much of an investment oppurtunity as what, say... something like Heroin is.

Also, as mentioned somewhere above. The amount of hands your "product" has most probably gone through, to get into yours (end-line), would be quite a few. And, just like all "powdery substances", this gives way to a whole world of impurities, nasty cutting processes and other "amateurish" styles to making money.

So, in the end... Coke just isn't as plentiful as what it is in countries like the U.K. or especially the States.
 
a big underworld figure who dealt cocaine was arrested in Sydney last week, so i know it is (or was) well-established. most of my Sydney friends do coke on a semi-regular basis. as for purity, it's very variable (leaning towards the crappy end in Syd). but it definitely is a matter of 'who you know'.
 
We see a fraction of the coke-related overdoses and their various complications that I saw in London. In Adelaide this year we have seen 5, which was a mild weekend in West London!
I do get the impreesion that more is seeping in...
 
I can assure you good coke is available at twice the usual price... If you are looking for somthing to enhance the after wedding experience may I suggest 2cb which is what my wife and I took after our wedding (and what an experiece it was) good luck finding it though, I searched for 4 years befor I ever found any.

One more thing make sure you and your wife take some time out to fully appreciate the wedding reception. It will be over befor you know it.

Good luck with everything, may you live happily ever after!

Peace
 
I have had good coke numerous times in aus... but the first few times it was very understated...just numbness and a slight alert euphoric feeling. Cocain is not going to blow your head off like mdma and you should not expect it to. I think there is a certain build up of experience needed to fully appreciate this drug, you need to take it a few time to notice its finer effects. For me allthough it is a fun drug the price to pleasure ratio is just not worth it.

yeah we're all crack-heads. that and speed. it's the only way to meet dealines! ;)
 
Ive found that coke here in NZ is of very good high quality, have read in the newspaper that alot of syndicates use NZ as a depot point before distributing to australia + other countries etc. I also tend to believe what my supplier says too :)
 
This may be absolute crap, but I was once told by an dealer who only sold coke, an italian guy actualy. Anyway he said that there is small amounts of coke made here in Australia. Apparently there have been attempts to grow and extract cocaine from plants here in Australia. Hope the cops who watch this board already new that.... ops

Cocaine probe a first
Neil Wilson
13oct04

COCAINE use in Melbourne will be compared with Sydney in a first national study of what some regard as a status drug.

The study of 180 people by drug centre Turning Point is an effort to probe further into cocaine use, described by a top businessman as common.

One suspected difference is that in Sydney cocaine is sometimes injected, which is almost unknown in Melbourne. Businessmen at CBD companies said on social occasions they had seen drug-affected executives. Some admitted to a cocaine habit.

Cocaine sold here tended to be cut to a low purity -- as little as 20 per cent -- because of a scarcity compared with the US, where it was imported directly from central America.

Share trading, IT, the law and the sports and entertainment industries are among high-earning professions where cocaine use exists.

"David", who runs a financial business on the CBD fringe, said cocaine sells for about $250 a gram and was popular.

"It isn't taken in a group or openly. They'll snort it in the restaurant toilet or quietly in a bedroom at a party, or in the restaurant bathroom," he said.

Cocaine had an insidious impact because the work performance and social networks of addicts could deteriorate without them realising, David said.

Study co-ordinator Jennifer Johnston said users were a hidden population because of their affluence and the lack of property crime associated with use.

"Crack cocaine has brought street level problems in America, pure cocaine use is a growing problem in Britain -- what about Australia?" she said.

I did a bit of searching, and quickly found www.turningpoint.org.au/cocaine.html where you can get more info on their survey and/or participate - there are contact numbers on that page.

I think that just about covers it...

It's out there, the question is, is it worth it??? The crap goes for about $xx a gram in south america and, quite frankly, I don't think that shitty drug is worth anymore than that... It's most certainally not worth $XXX+ a gram

Not wishing to discuss prices directly, but what's got me so amazed is the number of people admitting they're paying almost double the prices quoted in the article for higher qual product. Relative to Australia, coke would have to be one of the only drugs where the price hasn't dropped with a steadily increasing demand.

I guess getting 50% purity or less for half the price is not very appealing, but it made me wonder how many regular MDMA users would pay twice as much for a better pill.

The old saying still seems to be appropriate

A COKE habit is simply God's way of telling you that you have too much money

pd: I know I'd definately pay more for higher quality pills. If I knew for a fact that just one would last me all night with a strong peak and very clean mdma I'd pay double what I usually do in a heartbeat.
 
Well I can only go by my experience in sydney. Well few years ago, it was not very common, and usually only yuppies and executive types tooted it. I did notice when Fox studios opened, it was a LOT easier to find. Coincidence? Anyway. Yeah a shitload of cocaine in australia is utterly abismal, around the 20% mark. Testing the purity of coke is quite simple, u just get a slow burnin hotplate and put a dab on. And get a good thermometre and all. Pure coke will disintegrate at something like 185-187 degrees centigrade. Best coke I had disintegrated around the 178-180 mark. That was one line wonder. Thing is, the purer the coke, the feeling doesn't last longer really. and at levels below 70% it doesn't have that instant slam in ur head feeling, takes like 5-15 minutes to kick in with most of the shit quality around here. Most ppl in sydney consider 40-50% fucken good, but even that level is pretty shite. And as ppl have mentioned, for anything above 70% u are expectin to pay at least * a gram which is a fucken rip off when the effects of coke only last 40 mins tops. I can understand why ppl use it for sex though, none of the limp dick effect of other stimulants (quite the contrary) but still at that price u better be related to Rivkin or some shit to really splurge on it.
:P

My friends who have been to the states a few times would argue this! He's never had more fun then that time he made some toast while coked up to the eyeballs.

Indeed from what I've seen and heard prices have risen whilst in many cases quality has dropped remarkedly.

I know from some of my friends who were huge fans of charlie several years ago, and who were paying less than that article suggested for high quality coke(well for Australia anyway), now don't bother with the stuff. They're getting offered useless gear for a lot more than that article suggested, and that seems fairly common across several groups of friends with different sources.

A lot have made the jump to pills, which they've never really done before. For the same price as the coke they're getting a good supply of pills for a night out amongst friends.

Well, coke is around, finding quality coke is hard. Unless ur getting synthetic, which is probably the only thing close to good pure cocaine you will find around her. My cousin showed me a "rock" or gluggy ball of cocaine which was apparantly 97% pure, kind of interesting!

when coke is extracted from the coca plant it is usually at most 80% pure. its too hard to get the other 20% out apparently (according to erowid reports and other websites). synthetic coke is a bitch to make apparently, so i doubt that it is around anywhere. but, i could be wrong. (i usally am)

if you want to purify your coke drop it in acetone (not the hardware stuff) shake it around for a while, filter the acetone, throw away the acetone and keep whats in the filter cake. dry it out (thouroghly) and you will have near pure coke. only, you might get 0.2g to 0.5g out of 1g. but its quality is much better. and it gets rid of the shit that gives you headaches and makes you sick. (i didnt find anything in the posting guidelines about this kind of info, sorry if i did something wrong)

now if only i could afford some coke!
marklar the 23rd.
 
my friend mentioned that shes getting some coke on the weekend and asked if i wanted any. ive never before and im very skeptical about blowing my cash on something that wont work.

in general, how many points of adelaide coke would be needed to get a good effect? i'd just like a rough approximate. im small and a girl.
