Cocaine tolerance and back pain question

[littleSWEETheart]

i have a job where i dont make alot but im friends with a few dealers...i do coke ALL the time but it feels like lately its just getting more and more expensive cuz it takes more and more to feel it you know? plus i havent been able to balance it real well with my back medicine-muscle relaxers. im considering trying something else for that energy and the same rush...got any ideas to substitute? im so close to smoking crack right now but i feel like if i do itll be all my self control lost. help!

I in no way condone the following comment.

Methamphetamine is cheaper and lasts longer and has similar effect and probably more energy.

Methamphetamine will provide you with a much more powerful rush that lasts 6+ hours, not just 15-30 minutes. Gives you much more energy. Overall its just a fuck load more potent than anything cocaine can provide. And its cheaper in many states, especially the west coast. However, I don't recommend you start smoking methamphetamine, its a hell much more worse than coke withdrawals in "MY" opinion. The crash is so much more worse and goes on for days. Its an addiction you don't want to get into. The only reason I bring it up is because you wanted to know possible substitutes. Gave me horrible brain damage...shit is neurotoxic.

^That's the obvious answer, all the standard warnings apply of course you are, but if you are dead set on using strong stimulants it makes sense. Another option would be MDPV. If you don't know what that is there are plenty of threads here about it. That isn't a safe course either, but of neither is continuing to use cocaine. The smart thing would be to quit now, but I'm being hypocritical by saying that. "what drug should I use threads aren't allowed", this will likely get closed. Don't take it personally, I've been here forever and still get threads closed all the time.

How about trying Oxy, you can kill 2 birds with one stone. You get stilmulation from it(at least most do) & you can fight your back pain.

go see a doctor

Stimulants (cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine...even regular amphetamine and the RC stimulants such as mephedrone and MDPV) will all cause tolerance issues if used often enough and/or at high enough dosages. It sounds like that's exactly what you're experiencing. While you do have the natural urge to switch up to something stronger such as methamphetamine, that will eventually stop working as well too, and you'll need higher dosages or more risky methods of administration.

My advice is to stop doing cocaine for a while, if you really like the way it feels (and I don't blame you if you do), then take a tolerance break so your tolerance goes down naturally.

Also, stimulants are well-known for causing back pain issues to either appear or get worse. Check out this thread for more information.

I do recommend that you see a doctor if your back pain is making things difficult.

^Great post. I have chronic back/leg pain and any stimulant taken in excess (caffeine, ephedrine, amphetamines or coke) all exacerbate it pretty substantially.

I'm going to close this primarily due to the overabundance of suggestions lacking harm reduction (try meth! try oxy! etc.)

If you're looking for alternative stimulants to check out, here is a decent list and you can get more information on individual options through that link or through researching them here on BL.

Aside from the advice proffered in here so far, BDD isn't here to choose your next high so this type of thread isn't really appropriate. If you have harm reduction-based inquiries about specific drugs and have tried the search engine, feel free to start another thread

If you have any questions, feel free to PM myself or any of the excellent BDD staff.
