Before smoking

Earlier in the day, I took .5 mg clonazepam and 4mg insufflated hydromorphone, and was also still feeling the 3mg clonazepam from last night

Since my dealer S knew I wanted to try crack, he bought us a bag (not sure of the weight he bought) and we went into his bathroom to smoke

Before I smoked I ate soup with several antioxidants, the former because I knew i wouldn't be eating later, the latter just in case it will help offset some of the toxicity

Smoking

After each few hits, I waited a couple minutes. My first several hits were not very good, there is a technique to learn

After my first good hit, the peak lasted for about 3 minutes, with a high for about 15 minutes, and after-glow for about a half hour. We redosed three times, usually about 15 minutes after the previous smoke

Effects <--- this is the main part if you don't like reading long reports

During the peak, my heart raced and I felt the general effects of the plateau but somewhat stronger

The general effects of the plateau were:

* An increased confidence. I was not awkward at all in social situations (even with a pretty girl:p), my social anxiety was non-existent, I spoke at a moderate volume and enunciated where I usually might speak very softly. "Chit-chat" came easily where normally I don't talk much at all

* An increased mood. I wasn't "super-happy" like MDMA or "content" like opiates or "amazed in wonderment" like psychedelics. I just felt good...

* A pleasant body buzz. Dissimilar to the fuzzy warmth of opiates, dissimilar to the jelly-ness of benzos. It was vaguely like MDMA's buzz, however describing body feelings is impossible

* Mouth was very numb for a while

* Minimal side effects. I took my heart rate, which was at 93. (Usually it is anywhere from 60 to 80 and I exercise regularly). I expected to be twitchy and lethargic and feeling like I have too much energy with no way to release it like stimulants tend to do to me (I don't really like amphets or coke much). However, this may be due to the clonazepam. Considering 3mg the night before and 0.5mg that day, I probably had about 1.5mg clonazepam in my system at the time. Perhaps I would enjoy other stimulants with an added benzodiazepine?

After Smoking

The come-down is a general shitty mood where I just feel like going to sleep. Whenever I get in a shitty mood (not often), I just long for the next day to start. No, a desire to re-dose is not part of the comedown for me. Taking more in this state seems disgusting

Notes

I don't see why people see this drug as so crazy. It's just smokable cocaine. Yeah it hits faster when smoked, but it's the same drug, and it gives the same feelings. I believe the fierce attitudes toward crack is a socio-political and racial phenomenon, not due to the effects of the drug itself

Overall it is a pretty cool drug when combined with a moderate benzo dose to take any edge off. I wouldn't do it more than once a month or so because of its cardiotoxicity, but if it comes around I'll certainly partake every once in a while

Still, the only drugs that have special places in my heart are psychedelics and opiates. Crack is rather pleasant but not "amazing"

P.S. Don't get worried about my using so many drugs in the space of a couple days. I don't usually do that:)

Dude, be careful. I spent 4 years of my life where crack (well, and coke, but still) was my only concern. It will fuck your life up if you dont keep it in control. I was pretty young, so moderation was not in my vocabulary at the time. Just be smart about it man, dont fuck yourself in the long run. Hell, I havent even done coke in almost 2 years for fear of turning back into the person I once was.
 
CRACK IS F**KIN AWESOME 8o .... i still remember my first time it was bliss =D , and it wasnt all so addictive like most people say ... to me yeah it was addictive right after i did it ... but its not like i got to be gettin my fix everyday .... not Meth on the other hand is what i find addictive ... I would smoke crack anyday over Meth
 
yeah - cool report - - I have enjoyed smoking crack too - - been averaging about two or three times a month. Yeah - I am hearing the warnings too and need to make sure it does not get out of hand. But yeah - it gives a great buzz.
 
the attitude against crack is in no way socio-political or racial. you have people from all walks of life saying how addictive it is. i believe the reason why ppl get addicted in the first place is because they dont understand the potential hazards of the drug, like when crack first hit hard it was b/c ppl didn't know anything about it.

in my experience, nothing is really addictive - just some drugs are more addictive than others. if you aren't educated about the drug (say, if you smoke crack like you smoke bud) than there can definitely be a problem. moderation is key.

you seem to know what you're doing tho... good report!
 
The main prob comes with regular use, which rapidly becomes irresistable to the large majority of people who begin with occasional use. Of course, everyone and their mother considers themselves the exception, and will never start using it heavily. No point really trying to explain why people consider it so crazy, chances are fairly good you'll find out first-hand.
 
^i don't think i'll find out firsthand, stimulants just have never done much for me

opiates, on the other hand, i feel their pull, and i tread with caution
 
My first crack hit was amazing too, the feeling in the body is almost like you're bring pushed backwards, it's really nice. But alas, I am a dope fiend, not a crackhead, and thankful for it. I've done the too much coke thing too many times before, but now I haven't had yay in like a year or two, since it's just a gross drug.
 
i'd be careful with crack. it can ruin your life. its like shooting dilaudid for the first time..... its bad stuff....
 
Crack will ruin your life if you keep thinking its nothing special and keep doing it.

Theres a reason crack dealers dont do crack you know.
Theyve seen what it does to the people they sell it to.

Ive personally seen someone I know steal thousands of dollars from his parents not just from robbing him through his bank account but pawning everything he could. Its really sad shit to see.

"I seen a crackhead suck a dogs dick for dope" -ILL BILL.
 
I would have to say crak is A really good way to enjoy cocaine, but I prefer shooting it, I used to be really into coke for a couple years but after watching my friends self distruct and I myself was turning into a shady fuckin coke head, I let it go, it really hurt my fuckin wallet too. but smoked cocaine is better than snorting but nowhere near as goos as IV for me...good report by the way.

if i think it's nothing special why would i keep doing it

i tried a drug once and barely liked it, and you're all going crazy about how my life is going to get ruined
 
Only cuz you stated an intention to continue partaking "every once in awhile." Yes, IMO if you do that chances are your life could end up ruined, because it's rare for anyone to stick to occasional use. Maybe you're one of the rare cases, but it makes more sense to assume not (particularly when the results can be heinous if you end up guessing wrong).

How many crack addicts have thought of it like that when they first tried it? You sound like you have no idea how easy it is to lose control to that drug. I'm not telling you never to do it again, but just know that the addiction/overwhelming craving can take hold before you know it. As you continue to use it, ask yourself if you're still enjoying it or is it enjoying you?
 
Done crack a bunch of times.

Took me places I should never be. It's an ugly scene IMO.

The benzos are necessary. For me it is just too hard to come-out of. 36hours or whatever of getting high. No sleep, The money, the people, the felony.

Theres more downsides but that first hit will haunt you. The downsides start coming faster and faster then

Unfortunately for me the comedown is an absolutely devastating condition. Like your soul is gone and it ain't comin back. Don't have the patience to deal with shit like that anymore.

Just be real careful. I don't think there really is a real "recreational" use with crack. Your either in and getting out is going to be a bitch or your in until you HAVE to get out.

Peace
