Freebase Coke (Crack) - 1st time - Not all its cracked up to be

nottoday_tomorrow said:
Wow - very interesting discussion. In response to the question of whether there are recreational (occasional) crack and coke users. I have a couple of close friends that us coke a few times a year and crack maybe once or twice a year and that's it. Other than that they just stick to their weed. Maybe that is what helps them not jones is they are baked when they come down. I too find that when I am jonesin something fierce that weed helps me get past the craving. I don't really like weed cause it knocks me out and makes me feel lethargic - but I am willing to do anything to fight the cravings. Please dont get me wrong - i am NOT an occasional user - once i have my first line thats it - nothin can stop me but running out of money and things to pawn. Its really really sad actually. It have even hit the "sexual favours" point to get another hit. I know occasional users are out there - and they are lucky people cause I don't have that in me. Peace.

Thanks for sharing, its good to get people with some more experince in on this. Crack is on a whole new level than coke though, if you had problems with coke I d bet that crack could possibly be your down fall. Its good that you know this and it sounds like you try to stay away from it. Im gald!

MDPV Vagrant - - OK, I have smoked crack twice in the past 6 months ... and now you are saying that there is one chance in a 1,000 that I will remain an occaissional user and not progress to an addict. DAMN!!! OK people, I need to hear from people ...are there any people out here who have remained occaissional crack users for years ... i.e. maybe have smoked crack 5-6 times per year over the last 5 or more years without turning into addicts.

Yea. Smoking Crack didn't do shit for me. Tried it a few times, and could take it or leave it. After all, I was seriously addicted to IV coke, so crack was just childs play. Smoke one or two rocks, and time to go shopping for pins and vinegar . . .

Im stopping by to see as many folks as I can today...and here I find questions about crack. I got nothing from it my first time either, and it deluded me to think it wouldn't be any big deal the 2nd time-uh WRONG! I could say I started slowly but it's been a year and a half now, and I have seen the underbelly of one big nasty beast, my friend. I'm thankful today to still have a little sense to see how messed up the big shots are, and know I can't keep up with that gig, I have not seen a weekend user, or an occasional user. Ive heard told that some of these folks have enough money that they can just stop and go to bed and pick up after a long nap and maybe a meal, and I'm not too sure it's that cut and dry, in the smoky reality that I know, you smoke till the rock is gone and the moneys gone, then the real battle for your soul starts. I still have most of my self respect, but I worry. I've done the rehabs, the meeting(I still have awesome friends there)and am always trying to enlighten myself-hence my coming here, I used to be a NORML supporter and never thought I'd ever leave the Bud, but guess what? I havent smoked weed in over 6 months, and I hear that alot from people in my situation. We were much safer in the days when a joint was all we smoked and we had a job and friends who were cool
and our family still allowed us in the house. We didn't shame our children and we weren't decrepit and dying by degrees...I am only trying to say that if you haven't gone too far down that rabbit hole please heed the advice you get here, turn your ass around and get back topside before it gets dark,cause once you bet buried....your really gonna be 6 feet in the hole. I am currently an active addict but Im trying to believe my eyes and accept that what im seeing in other people will be me if I don't try as hard as I can to get away, the first bang is always the best, I try to temper it with the reality that Im broke by the time I get it though. I dunno, if it sounds messed up it's cause it is.

Left to my own devices, I'll buy a hundred piece on Friday night, do it, then have a few drinks to come down. There's a period of intense craving for more that passes after about 40 minutes, at least for me. And, that's it till next Friday. Truth be told, I like meth better.

Crackheads are a dreary lot. It's all they're interested in.

Thank You, some people just think they can Whip the drugs, but anyone with any real experience or education in this area knows the truth.
 
As someone else stated, its all about your personality. I too have several friends who do coke maybe 6 times a year, base it once or twice a year. I myself have smoked crack a few times, its a fun rush but I've never felt an urge to go seek some out. To me, its addictive nitrous... There are plenty of people who smoke crack occasionally, just like there are plenty of people who throw away their lives for it. The same can be said for any drug. Just don't be a fucking dumbass and starting pawning stuff. Don't start injecting drugs, etc, and you'll be fine. If you feel a weakness for it, stop while you're ahead.
 
First off to the OP, you gotta learn to smoke crack to get that crack head mentality. The first time you get that ringer you'll know why crack is bad. I like you will try any drug once. Crack was the only acception, WAS being the key word here. I am a law abiding citizen (accept for the ovbvious) and in a few weeks i watched my life turn into a dirty fuckin mess. This past summer was totally lost as well as thousands of dollars. And just like you the first few times I thought this drug is fuckin stupid as hell why do ppl become crackheads. Well dude as a former crackhead who stole, lied, cheated, w/e to get my fix...... it is a bad drug if ever there was one, and believe that nigga thats about as real as real gets. It will take over your life and you will be left wondering WTF?

And to those who do want to give crack a try first off figure out how to smoke it then buy some benzos and pop them before you blast that stone so you will fall asleep before you A.) run out and start pawning shit B.) smoke it all (then you can have some for later)

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE CRACK COCAINE! That first time may not be great but if you choose to go back and it turns out you missed something and you feel that its worth fucking with frequently believe this, it isn't worth it YOU WILL on some level become a crackhead (whether your stealing and pawning shit or scraping through your carpet for dropped shit geekin out in the corner) this will happen its the nature of the drug.

Crack is Whack
Don't do drugs kids


Seriously... Responsible crack use? hahaha! Any hard stimulant use is dumb IMO. Once you get those intense cravings nothing matters but getting high and feeling that rush. And why do you do it? To feel the rush and high... The second you decide to do it again is the second you become addicted and its beyond expirimentation, tell yourself whatever you want. Just because your not using crack everyday doesnt mean your not addicted... People try to justify thier addiction because they only binge once a week/month... but binging is still addiction. I had to learn that the hard way, several times... Plus, It adds a insecurity to yourself... Smoking crack... Socially unaccepable
