Cocaine crack questions

Feel like hell and said way too much in this thread... going to remove some of the identifying details for privacy.

Yeah... honestly not worth it.
 
Even though this thread was answered to death. I still feel the need to state my 2 cents.

It sounds like the OP is doing everything right. Maybe you should jsut try using a smaller rock. Like if your getting 3 hits of it. Then either take all of it in one nice hit, or break the rocks into 1 hit chunks.

But usually to stop that nice drug filled amber liquid from dripping down the pipe, after its melted you tilt your head down with the pipe, so when it melts it just melts into the steel wool, instead of melting back down the mouth piece.
 
^ yeah you did (that day)... then I took 5 days off (took only suboxone and xanax) and now I'm chipping again since I got a little cash flow...

To answer what drunken_etard said, I've pretty much got it figured out now. Out of all 3 methods that I know of (glass stem, bong, and foil) I prefer the glass stem by far... most likely I was doing the other methods slightly incorrect though. With the bong, I put chore up in the stem of the bowl and it ended up getting wet with bong water... so I lost like a dime of crack, which made me extremely sad.

With foil I just feel like it leaves too much to chance unless your technique is really good.. So I just felt like the glass stem / chore method is the most foolproof... although I've had major problems cracking my stems lately. Those goddamn things are expensive and the stores that sell them know exactly what they're for.. believe me. I mean really.. you know it didn't cost $7 to make a small, glass tube.

Any suggestions for avoiding cracks on the stem? I've been extremely careful I'm not slamming it down on the counter or anything... I'm not even sure when the cracks are forming. And yeah... I'll save someone the trouble... it's kinda funny talking about how to AVOID crack in a crack pipe.

You made great points though drunken_etard and I've gotten a lot better... it definitely takes more finesse than smoking weed but the plus side is there's a LOT of incentive to learn how to do it right in those dopamine centers. ;) I'd say it almost becomes instinctual.

By the way, I found an AWESOME way to avoid comedown problems is taking a benzo when you start smoking (I usually do 1mg xanax or even better, 0.5 mg klonopin) and then a dose of suboxone when you stop (I usually do 4 mg). This works for me - your mileage may vary.
 
I guess I should say in the name of harm reduction that combining drugs is bad in general since you can't always predict how they interact so don't go mixing a bunch of shit to try and fix comedown as I suggested unless you're experienced or know their interactions... The best way to avoid crack comedown is not to smoke it to begin with. ;) It's really not for the faint of heart (at least in my experience). Also remember when mixing stimulants and depressants that if one wears off before the other, the whole balance can get fucked and you can OD on one or the other.
 
Maybe multiple stems? More pushes good. Dont have to worry about overheating one.

True that... I guess maybe I'll give the foreign quick-e-mart owner $20 of my money for 3 more stems ;) I'll bet that's like $19.25 profit. It's probably better than trying to salvage a cracked stem because on my last hit I noticed smoke leaking out of it (fuck!!).
 
Or drop 50cents on an old Tv antenna. Multiple sizes. Like the fucking Willy Wonka of crackpipery.

Not glass

Plus you need that 19.25 for more crack anyway
 
Also, two last questions before I go to the Mart for some more stems to keep myself from posting a bazillion times impulsively:

Any suggestions for helping burnt lips heal? I have this big white sore on the inside of my lower lip that looks like a canker sore now. :( Hard to tell when that bitch is hot when your lips are numb...

Also one other thing:

Is there any way to gauge purity of crack based on its consistency? What I get seems to vary each time even from the same dealer... sometimes it's dense and more yellowish and sometimes more white/cakey.

Bacatran? Maybe?
 
hahah you're turning into a crackhead, and fast

lmao you think!??

Funny thing is I taught two classes this morning at a major university. I'm telling ya... all types of people can become crackheads. And no matter where you come from or what you look like, in the end you wind up looking like ... well, a fucking nasty, homeless tweaker (I imagine, obviously I haven't reached the end of my journey yet).

By the way Pharcyde I'm incredibly impressed with how quickly you noticed me reply to this relatively old thread and got right back into the conversation :) I feel the love, really I do.

I've never heard of Bacatran (not seeing it when I google it either)... There's this stuff called kenalog in orabase for canker sores that I might try... does wonders for those although I'm not sure if its OTC.

Also regarding purity - do dealers ever cut crack with other active drugs (like speed, etc.)? Or would that be stupid/impossible/not profitable? Reason I ask is sometimes I get more of a jaw-clenching speedy feel from the shit I get than others. Although maybe that has to do more with the benzos I'm mixing or not mixing as the case may be. ;)

Bottom line is during this little adventure I have been ripped off lots of times.. About $100 of fake shit I've been sold in between what I assume is real. Really breeds loyalty towards the dealers who always hold real shit. Although it also makes me question whether the shit I think is real is even real... if it makes your lips numb, your heart race and makes you feel great could it be anything besides crack?

Still smoking out of my ghetto-ass pipe.. can't seem to make myself leave the house. Amazing how much lighter the comedown is with this last batch, even comparing two instances where I took the same amount of the same benzo to comedown. Also takes a lot more to get a ringer so I'm guessing that's a bad thing which would seem to suggest that the cakey-er the shit is, the worse the quality, yes?

By cakey I mean the rocks break up quite easily and you can practically smoosh them into a flat cake with your fingers... well, not quite that cakey but you get the picture.

By the way, I just got a huge ringer-sized hit off chore I thought was cashed,... so don't stop hitting that shit till you aren't getting any smoke and you've thoroughly ran it back and forth through the pipe to pick up any liquid. The best time to do this is when the pipe is just below 90 degrees F since otherwise you'll vaporize the shit on the sides and lose it... but you want the pipe warm enough that the shit gets picked up by the chore.

In fact, I've had some luck just running a flame up and down a pipe I thought was totally cashed, then running some cashed chore through it and then taking a hit. It's amazing how much smokeable shit gets left behind in the pipe sometimes if you aren't savvy to smoking it all up.

I really have to say though - crack + klonopin (small dose... only 0.5 mg) is awesome for a longer smoking session due to klonopin's long half-life. I feel awesome minus the jitters and anxiety. And that's with a 2mg/day xanax tolerance. But as I mentioned above, I'm unsure as to the purity/quality of this crack... although I guess the fact that I feel great (definitely dopamine euphoria) says it all.

And as for paranoia, I really haven't had any to be honest... it's not an emotion I often experience. I think I might have a slightly antisocial personality... like I'd love to be in the mafia - don't have any issues with morally ambiguous shit aside from hurting someone who didn't know the risks of the situation beforehand or hurting animals... I have a HUGE problem (as in, I detest the thought of it.. not a problem like I engage in it) with animal abuse. The thought of it makes me far more depressed than the thought of violence against humans. In fact (this might sound sick), if I was driving and had the choice of swerving to miss a baby or a cat/dog, I would have to seriously think about it.

During my studies I have dissected entire human cadavers with no issues, but the mere thought of dissecting a cat makes me naueated and sad... weird huh?

^ just did a huge edit and combined like 5 posts into one to keep from being one of those (heh heh) coke psycho-posters... but I dunno if that bumps the thread so I'm doing so just because I edited and added some more stuff
 
^what did you say you taught, jimbo?

Would rather not say since I wouldn't be surprised if some of my students are bluelighters which could create an awkward situation,... but I first attended med school for 3 years, decided that wasn't for me and I'm now pursuing a Ph.D. in an unrelated "hard science" (i.e., either math, physics, etc...)... Will leave it at that for now for privacy sake. But I'm a GTA.
