Coke: to IV or not to IV?

I bet Le Junk is going to come here any minute now though and talk about how real 80s coke doesn't make you anxious at all, how you can go days of being high non-stop and never feel any downside at all, and of course, give his speech on how if you feel anything bad after doing coke all night, you got shitty stuff cut to hell with amp.
Right? I don't know, but even though he could be right, it seems no matter how good your blow is, eventually, it'll make you feel anxious after doing it too long. But, I don't know, after all, I've never had real 99% percent 80s blow like he has, so I can't tell for sure.

yeah, swim has come to that conclussion as well. Its probably a matter of quantity though, its nearly imposible to do a small enough line with good quality cocaine purely because of the damn size.

Get too much of the pure thing and the high is too intence and the crash gets to you.

probably has something to do with general alkaloid content, who knows...swim has tried cocaine fairly pure and is intence, euphoric and has a short but anoying crash. I.E. for like 20minutes makes you feel like a looser, adict, or what have you and then you are ok.

what happened with that iv? In swims opinion i.v.ing cocaine is just stupid, too much risk
 
Everystar - it's noon here on the East Coast, USA. I can't wait to hear that you did in fact put that rig away, deal with your comedown, write your paper, etc.

If you still have the loaded rig, you don't need to waste it. Clip the needle off and squirt it up your butt.

Bluelight has got thousands of members, and many of them have used coke before. Of the people that have used IV coke, most simply aren't around anymore. You can draw your own conclusions, however I have a few that I'll share with you now:

1. I wish I could be like TR. I loved IV coke more than anything else in the world, and would do it again in an instant if I knew I could do it without it destroying me.
2. Most people that try it get addicted. Many of those have posted in this thread. As you can tell, IV coke users and ex-users are very passionate about the experience.
3. I have heard that the life expectancy of an active IV coke user is two years. Don't know where I heard that, and I can't support it, so don't ask.
4. If this is true, however, it would explain the numerous IV coke users that have just disappeared from this board. I'm not talking about the people that say "goodbye BL, I'm done with IV coke, etc."; I am talking about people that say " I just got a ball of some great yay, and I'm planning to lock myself in the bathroom for a session tonight . . ." and that's the last time they post . . . ever.

From your other posts last evening, it looks like you are starting to develop an addiction to cocaine. I think the first signs for me were when I could not put it away until it was gone . . . beyond a certain point.

From there you will progress to a) cannot put it away once you start; b) cannot stop calling your dealer until all your money is gone, c) cannot stop thinking about it when you don't have it (I mean constant craving for a long, long time).

I snorted blow recreationally with none of these symptoms from 1977 until 2001. Count 'em - 24 years. IV cocaine had a tight grip on me in 5 months, and I struggled with seizures, ODs, rehab, relapses, etc. for 5 years after that. IV coke had me dead on the side of the highway in NC, and that wasn't enough to make me stop.

If you haven't done it yet, don't. I guess it just comes down to the law of averages; you might be lucky like TR, you might end up addicted and find a way to give it up or control it like most of the posters in this thread, or you might be one of those guys thats about to make your last post . . .

Don't. Really. You'll get addicted to it from just one shot! I mean that's what happened to me, anyway, I have much more self control these days so I manage to shoot only once a week (also due to time and place restraints, ugh). Just stick to snorting it. The difference is worlds apart obviously though.
 
I guess I've had a different experence with it. when I first got into coke in about 1999-2000 I'd get some pretty good stuff out of SF, started out decent but the girl I'd get it from would clean it (probably with acetone) so the high was pretty good. I met a girl who shot me up for the first time and I have to say it was a fucking RUSH! great high, I could just feel my heart pumping the second I let up on the tourniquet. I started shooting the stuff on weekends probably 5-7 times a night. I liked it but really the rush I got wasn't all that much better than smoking it. I make my own rock so its always clean and strong, I'd say intencity wise its just a little below injecting but not much. the fact that coke doesn't last very long after the initial dose I think that injecting it is not worth it just because of all the holes you end up putting in your arm. I never felt like I was going to get hooked doing this, I think if you aren't going to get hooked on snorting, injecting probably won't be the thing that throws you over the edge.

honestly shooting it up is just a pain in the ass since you have to do it once every half hour or so to maintain your high. I'd say its worth trying unless you have a very addictive personality but in the end I think you'll find that smoking it provides a rush thats close enough in intensity.


QUESTION: I was a bit smaller and much younger when I was slamming coke, I was wondering how much do people usually use at a time assuming I don't have a tolerance (haven't had any coke in at least 6 months). I used to do a small lines worth at a time because I was scarred of ODing, I'd like to give it another shot (no pun intended) with a higher dose while still keeping it relatively safe. its jsut been so long since I've used a needle, at least 5-6 years.

Don't use this as a recommendation, but, by way of example:

I am a 210 lb. 47 y.o. athletic male with a strong heart and no health issues. I used to buy "Lavado" (washed coke) and IV 200 to 400 mg. at a time. 400 mg. would usually cause a consious "Flopper", 500 mg. caused a grand mal seizure on several occaisions.

I found that at higher does IV cocaine is much more addictive they you suggest in your post above.

Be careful.

I hope the OP reads FC's comments- thanks for posting your story. It's a rough road- not one i've been down personally, but I've heard many similar to FC's. Great post FC- who knows if it will help in his decision, but it may help others. I also agree with whoever said just injecting can get addictive. If you've made it this long and still have it in a syringe- maybe give some of what the experienced coke shooters have said!
 
All right, fuck, I did it.
I had gotten ripped off real bad on the deal (I overpaid for a ball (120 when I usually 90-100), as I was told it was some good pure stuff, which already just that made me upset considering it wasn't anything special, and definitely had meth in it (I've most likely gotten meth in my coke in the past since it's a popular cut down in Texas, and I've had bags with the same consistency and feel to them, but never really experienced any real meth high until now) and I don't have any money to buy another ball right now, and I only had a couple of lines left, so I figured I might as well make the best of it and IV the rest instead of only getting 2-3 lines out of it and getting all the cut shit in there along with it.

I really did get scared when I was about to stick the needle in, because I kept thinking about what if I pushed the plunger too fast and the rush would be too intense and stuff, but it was really a lot different than I thought.
The first 20 units or so (out of 40), I pushed on the plunger really, really slowly, and nothing happened at all, so I decided to just shoot the remaining coke all at once.
I probably didn't use enough blow to truly get the "rush", as the high just creeped over me over about 10-15 seconds, when I start to feel really good, like if I just took a really fat line up my nose.

I'm kind of glad I didn't experience the rush because I might never go back to snorting, but honestly, shooting isn't as bad as I thought (at least in small amounts), I just get a lot higher, a lot faster, with a lot less. And it's been about 15-20 minutes and it's still going strong.

I think if I used it in small amounts like that each time, I could definitely stay away from true addiction, because even though the high feels great, I don't feel like I could never go back to snorting after this. I guess I'll just IV every once in a while when I'm getting to the end of my stash and I want to conserve it.
 
Reading this thread just reminds me how much I hate coke/stimulants. I really need to stop clicking on them. :!
 
So now, after almost 45 minutes, I'm coming down and I feel fine. No real bad cravings (at least not more than snorting it) or anything, it's all cool.

What I truly like about it is how much more cost efficient it is than snorting, and the only time I was really craving it was after the peak (roughly 10 minutes later), but I told myself it would be pointless to do another shot while still high, it would be a lot better to wait an hour or so, until I was completely sober, to dose again.
 
We told you not to do it. That occasional IV shit is very hard to control if you don't have any time and place restrictions for shooting (e.g.: parents at home, busy most of the times to prep a shot other than just snort it, etc.). Well anyway I hope you won't be sticking a needle on your veins each hour like I used to with coke.
 
It's damn true what they say about doing it more than once in a night. After I was completely down (yet not completely sober, I just had that tired, bored feeling I get when I come down), I did another shot (although it was quite smaller than the first one), and it was a lot less satisfying and made me fiend a lot more. Probably lasted like 10 minutes instead of 30, and it made me crave for another shot more.
But I'm toughing it out right now, it's not that bad.
 
Eh, so I did another couple of shots during the night, and honestly I find it less addictive than snorting it. The rush is indeed quite intense (felt like an earthquake was coming on, couldn't stand up straight for a couple of minutes, ringing in my ears, etc) and enjoyable, and I see why most people get easily addicted to the rush, but to me, it's just as enjoyable as the high, and it feels much more gratifying and satisfying than snorting it.

Like snorting it feels like a short-lived high you just want to keep on chasing, while when you IV, there at least a good ten minutes where you feel absolutely, completely euphoric, when you're exactly as high as you want to be, have no need or desire for another shot, you're just absolutely content.

And the regular high seems to last at least a good 30 minutes for me, at which point I smoothly comedown until I'm completely down by 45 minutes or so, and feel just fine ; not anxious / paranoid, depressed, or craving another shot worse than anything else.

Basically, I just think it's a much more satisfying high, that's much more cost efficient, and on top of that, also feels much cleaner, since filtering it completely eliminates all the non-water-soluble cut.
Seems like the kind of thing I would do 2-3 times a night to feel great for a few hours, all the while eliminating a lot of the downsides from snorting (using more, craving it more, being less satisfying, being less pure, etc).

Well, no surprises here. Your journey began just like most of us, I presume. PM me if you want to know what's going happen next, and after that, and after that, etc.

I kind of think you should do it. If you're too weak to not die but yet you have it in front of you, shit. Go for it. You'd fuck it up somewhere no matter what.
 
You only live once. I'd give it a shot, no pun intended, so long as YOU think you have the self-control.

Yeah you can tell when she has done some cuz you see 4 posts on either what happened wrong or what to do.

I would post every night that i got to have fun but im sure people would tired of it real quick. And i never really have problems happen when i do it so they would be boring posts anyways.
 
A few questions to those of you who've IV'ed coke:

Do you get a really pure source for the cocaine itself or wash it yourself? I hear how common cuts are in cocaine hcl, and of course they might cause risk of embolism and such, are filters sufficient for fear of this, for the most part?

Also, I heard that you must dissolve it in cool water, is there a temperature specific or best for this? How cold of water is safe to shoot, or is it even necessary to do so once dissolved?

Is there any good resource for harm reduction & IV coke questions?
