Cocaine Dosing the first line of cocaine

So googling didn't give me much on this, although when I speak with people out in the real world, this seems to be a very common problem. I'm talking about the problem of dosing too much cocaine in your first hit.

Best way I can explain it is like this: say I lay out the first line of cocaine for the evening. Say this time it's very good quality, so I lay out a line that is like 2-3 cm long and kind of thin. I sniff it, and I feel really good. Extreme euphoria, I'm basically high as shit. Now, say I had made that line maybe just 2 centimeters longer... this sometimes happens. Instead of raging euphoria and a nice feeling, I would feel almost dysphoria. Like I'm almost overstimulated or overexcited, which manifests as a kind of anxious feeling in my stomach and leaving me "tight", feeling heavy and almost unable to speak with people. I don't feel like drinking, I just feel like sitting and not speaking.

Can someone please tell me, that they know what I'm talking about?! And if so, what do you do to conquer this problem? Because I mean especially with cocaine, it's hard to determine the quality of the drug before you try it. Doing lines too small does nothing, and it seems like you have one shot to get the first line right, else the rest of your coke binge is fucked....
 
I feel like i can get that "tight" and tense feeling with any stimulant if i take it and have the thought "oh shit i took too much" alot of it seems to be my train of thought, if i go in with bad outlook im gonna feel nervous and anxious. It is what you make it for yourself.

But its also likely you dont like the jittery crack head feeling that coke can give you in higher doses. A really good way to beat is is multiple small lines. Coke will hit you very fast so why not cut a bigger line into a few smaller and taking one of the few every min or 2? Once you hit that 'sweetspot' just stop with the small lines and wait the standard half hour to hour before taking more.
 
yeah, I really think you're onto something. I have been speculating myself whether the setting has a lot to with it as well. It seems like if you're kind of stifled and in your head and try to "fix" it by doing coke, it usually just makes you more tense. But if I'm having a good time and feel relaxed, doing a line of coke rarely puts you in a worse place.

I have thought about just doing smaller liners till I get where I want to be, but to me, it just seems like hitting your sweetspot (thanks, that was the word I was looking for before) in the first line is way more intense and satisfying. Also, I actually feel like that tense feeling can occur as well if you don't take enough. It's all about the sweetspot. Such a difficult drug to use, that's why I think many people say it's "a waste of money" and the high "is nothing special" - it literally took me 5-6 times of doing it, before I actually started to like it, but now it's my favorite drug.

PS, I know this is bad HR, but I found that being kind of drunk when doing your first line helps tremendously as well. Anyone else notice this? I don't know if it's the downer effect evening it out, if the cocaethylene is just less of a tense, jittery high or if it's because of the fact that you tend to be more loose and in a good mood when drunk.
 
This is normal, taking too much of any potent stimulant will leave you feeling shitty rather than nice. Everything from caffeine to meth is the same in this respect.

You just have to start small or test your stuff beforehand.

This.

Take little bumps, build up, and then once you reach a good point, stop for a while. Repeat as needed. That way you have way more control over it. If you just do a fat line right off the bat, with the purity of coke so all over the place you never know what you have, you'll end up feeling shitty like this. But if you take it slow, one small dose at a time, you can build to the exact high you want, and then just maintain it buy taking another bump here and there every 30-40 minutes or so.
