Cocaine issues

[BigpimpinOG]

Hey everyone, I have never tried cocaine before but I had a panic attack on spice awhile back ( felt like I was having a heart attack) that scared me into think I might have problems with my heart. This caused me to see a cardiologist that told me there was nothing wrong with my heart after running several tests.

The problem is that he kept asking if o had ever tried cocaine because it can cause a lot of heart problems. (I'm in my early 20's and don't consider myself to live a very healthy lifestyle as well). I know that cocaine is not very good for the heart but he ended up telling me it's possible for some people to die after trying it just once even at small amount. Is this true? Is there a possibility that if I try a small amount of coke one time it could kill me or was he just kind of tryin to scare me away from ever trying it?

Using a high dose of spice can easily send a user into a panic attack, and at times seizures. I've seen people take a couple of drags of really potent blends and go into complete delirium. Granted, this generally happens when the user has little to no tolerance.

Cocaine is much more forgiving. A cocaine dose is visible, as opposed to not knowing how much synthetic cannabinoid is in your spice bag. You can definitely take a measured dose of cocaine without it causing overdose. That could be several lines spaced out over a period of time (40-60 minutes). Having said that your doctor is right in that cocaine is inherently toxic to the heart. Dying from a small dose though? Unlikely.

I'm going to move your thread.

It's not likely you'll die from a small amount of cocaine as the LD50 iirc is around 1.2g. So unless you snort and entire gram + of pure coke at once then you'd have a chance of dying. Luckily most of the coke is so impure you'd have to snort a lot at once to croak. Also panic attacks are usually from tachycardia. When a person realizes how fast their heart is beating this can easily send them into panic. Cocaine + Weed has caused this with me before, even l-amp + weed. Cocaine on it's own is unlikely to cause tachycardia easily. Usually one would be over-doing it.

Your doctor sounds like he's simply trynna scare you from it. When I was a kid my friend's dad told me he knew a guy who smoked laced weed and now he drools on himself. Was BS though as that wouldn't just happen so easily lol. Only getting into smoking weed I realized the BS stories.

I tried spice once before.Did not like the way it made feel...at all. It did make my heart beat a little faster than usual; but I'm thinking that was more of me feeling paranoid and uncomfortable about the situation than it actually having an effect on my heart. The other person I was with was super chill and that made it even worse. She smoked a lot of spice though.

Agree with posters above in that a small amount of coke probably won't do much damage, but everyone is different. Take it easy and do small bumps at a time until you're comfortable. Always best to have someone with you that knows what they're doing when trying out a drug for the first time. Be safe.

Spice is nasty stuff, I've seen people fall to the ground from that shit, then 10 minutes later complain about chest pains......they were all anxiety attacks.

As for coca, it can certainly kill you on your first try if there is something wronh with your heart/body to begin with.......but like others have stated, most likely, you should be OK.....be sure to snort a small line, wait 15-20 minutes & see how you're feeling before trying again.

I never liked coca myself, the comedowns I hated very much. My friend & his gf snorted coca like I drink water, they absolutely loved the stuff.

Just be careful as with anything........

Also, make sure you have some xanax or Valium on hand just in case you freak out in paranoia or for some reason like me, I hated the feeling of coca......I wish I had a benzo back then, I wouldn't have had to deal with the anxiety attacks it caused me.
