Ok so they both are done because they give you a rush much better than snorting. But my ? is why would one choose to smoke freebase or cook there coke into freebase when IV coke is much stronger an better than smoking base and it also uses much less of the substance to get high. Seems like crackheads/cokeheads would be looking to get the most out of there money for there precious white powder/rock right?
 
Either needle stigma, or fear of poking one's self, or a combination of both.

I have not tried either, but I know that I will be I.V.ing cocaine sometime in the future and probably never bothering with crack (simply because I don't like smoking anyhting, and for the reasons mentioned in your post).

Yea but I dont think crack/cokeheads would really be affected by that..I meen some of them suck dick for it so of course they would want to get there moneys worth by any meens. Any other good reasons why people would smoke it instead of IVing it?
 
Well, remember that IVing has a lot of infection/particle contamination risks, but I doubt the afforementioned crack-whore cares much about that...

you'd be surprised. some dick sucking for crack crackheads think needles are going to far. it just varies drug user to drug user. :\
 
Maube because crack is sold so openly and for as low as £5 a hit. When cocaine powder usually goes for £40-50 a gram and getting a half is not always possible it makes sense that those needing a fix NOW! will go to the guys selling it cheap ie. the crack dealers. And from their point of view it's the drug that gets people hooked the quickest and'll get them back several times a day more than any other - therefore, crack wins hands down.
 
Yea but still a crack user would get more out of there 5 doller crack hit if they broke the crack down and injected it instead of smoking am I right?
 
Yes Chronic4. Crack dissolves in vinegar to make a cocaine acetate in H2O solution.

The real reason is because crackheads smoke rocks all day every day, as much as they can. If you IV'd cocaine habitually you'd be covered in insane amounts of track marks on every limb and probably abscesses really quickly.

Meth you only have to inject sparingly even if you're a junkie.
 
Personally I prefer the feeling of smoked crack than injected as the rush hits you faster - remember, smoking a substance gets it to your brain in 7secs whereas injecting takes over 10secs. For people who prefer shooting it I'd imagine the difference is still so slight that there's no point in going to the extra hassle when smoking it is so effective.
 
i have only snorted it but the obvious drawbacks are that no one is gonna want u shooting up drugs at a party, u would have to reinject every 20 minutes or so to stay high (which is a much bigger pain then snorting a line or taking a hit), shorter high (compared to snorting), and all the already mentioned stuff

true.....you do get a great rush when smoking it...while IV is better, its really only a marginal difference.....being a needle-guy myself, I always had more fun injecting it though....even MORE fun when there's a little smack in there too... ;)

of course, coke in general bores me, but being the all-encompassing drug user I was/am, it has been done more times than I'll admit... :\

I wouldn't say that the difference is slight, rather i'd argue that IVing is much more of an expirience. I hardly remember the first time I smoked rock, shit I never had any AMAZING expiriences with crack. However, I will never forget the first time I IV'd cocaine because of how trully euphoric it was, I rank that night as one of my top 5 drug expiriences. Also, a big factor why Iv coke is funner is that you can you are able to adjust dosages much better, while with crack you can only inhale a certain amount of smoke(note most people don't smoke rock out of 3foot bongs). I give the victory to IV coke unless you scared of needles or werewolfs..
 
So what is a good begining dose to shoot coke fore someone who has been using coke for a long time?

Should I start with a G..?...1/2 a G? Of course the dose is dependent of quality, yet it still becomes a factor of the cut.

What to do in this case????

kemikals, I was making the comparison between IV crack and smoked crack. Not IV cocaine and smoked crack.

The only time I've IV'ed cocaine it was shitty stuff so I didn't think very much at all. The times I've IV'ed crack I was impressed but preferred smoking the stuff - for the taste, the look of the smoke in the bottle and my general love for taking large hits of smoke. However, like Itchy said, add a little heroin in there and I'll run a mile for a rig!!

Surely at the end of the day, they're both cocaine and so aren't gonna be HUGELY different. I do think, as drug users of extensive taste and standards, we tend to get very finickity over the details.

this post erked me so much I had to intervene. first off, I dunno if IV cocaine is the step you want to take, because you were implying on the DARK SIDE that you were a user who seems like a cokehead. well IVing coke will only take you to the next level, and trust me, it gets a lot shittier there.

but to answer your question, if it is your first time IVing coke DO NOT, DO NOT IV a gram. you will fucking trip out. ok... chop out a regular line on the table, and cut it in half. that should be enough for your first dose of IV coke.

blahblahblah: is IV crack really that much better than IV coke? hmm, I gotta try this then.
 
I'm surprised to hear you say how great IV crack is blahblahblah. I mean, it is good and all but I just don't see it as being way better than smoking it. I think I just really really like to see a HUGE cloud of smoke exiting my mouth after a good toke.
