Cocaine Cocaine Megathread

I would say that depending on factors like weight of the person, age, metabolism, heart health and what not that influences resistance to side-effects and toxic-effects of coke even less could be very dangerous. I would say that even those who can handle it better than average would experience signs of overdose anywhere between 100 and 250mg snorted in one line. Whole gram effectively absorbed at once would be very terrible and certainly kill some. In reality a lot would end up as a drip and would clog up nose at least somewhat and slow absorption but would still be very dangerous.

I’ve read, I think somewhere on BL that cokes cardiotoxicity in older folks doing coke and resulting in cardiovascular problems, to be exact stroke somehow usually happens from initial dose. It kind of makes sense that sudden increase in heart rate, blood pressure etc might be very dangerous. Sure that doesn’t imply after one snorts first line it’s safe to binge or do insane amounts but is kind of good to know for some casual user with tendency to panic.

Makes me wonder if the natives who just chew leaves get into the same habits and cravings.
Or do they just scoff at the westerners who end up extracting it smoking it and ruining their lives lol.
Heh, same with ayahuasca, the natives drink it, then the westerners come, "discover" it, extract that shit, now we have protocols for extended DMT trips via steady IV-infusion (see DMTx), and I wonder what they think... "What are y'all doing!" lol

As far as I know the chewing or tea drinkers never develop any problems whatsoever. The rate of absorbtion is such that it's totally different from snorting or smoking.

It's a bit like drinking coffee - your fine unless you drink 10 cups an hour or something stupid like that. ( Or if you were to take the caffeine in a different and more dangerous way)

Question on harm reduction and mixing with alcohol.

What if I take one line sober and obviously enjoy the effects for about 30 minutes, then I go to pub as it wears off ( and obviously don't take any more bumps from now on)

Is that slightly safer than mixing it with alcohol directly?

Hey I am sorry this was missed. Members that would know are too busy drinking and doing blow. (just kidding)

I grew up at a time when doing cocaine and drinking was common. Hell even a snort of heroin at the end was in fashion before the Reagans made all drug users look like criminals. So cocaine and heroin became the bad drugs. But drinking was common, and the info we have today on what happens when mixed is more robust than we had back then. I myself have used cocaine and drank, took methaqualone and used heroin to come down.

I have pondered this question for years. If you go to South America the cocaine is great. When I lived in Houston that great cocaine would come into the port, and most dealers I knew would keep it that way and up the price. A few times desperate dealers would cut it more too. But in Texas and Southern California, the only places I used cocaine 40 years ago the cocaine was good. Clean, a line made you feel just super human, not edgy, at least if the amount was kept low. Any cocaine will wire you if you do enough.

So I ponder does this good cocaine leave SA and make it to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, et... as uncut? Would it come into a port the same as it leaves South America or does it get stepped on to high heaven all along the distance? Can anyone guess? I know the the closer to SA the better it was. And I always wondered if it makes it that distance as pure or get cut all along the way? Not that anyone would totally know, just something I pondered.
