He guys, I was wondering if anyone here has done a lot of freebase. I know it is bad, but how bad is it really? I’m pretty new to it. I get cocaine, put it on a spoon and add a bit ammonia. Then I heat the spoon until there is one brown drop of cocaine. I scrape it out with a knife and let it dry on a cd-cover. Ready to smoke. There are things I like about freebase and things I don’t like at all. I really like the weird sound effects. But after a minute I cry for more. I do this twice a week. What are the effects to the body? Is it really harmfull or what. Can you get psychical problems?
 
Well, my girlfriend says she used to freebase as follows; put your desired amount of coke (usually a lines worth) on a tinfoil piece about 5x5 inches and add an equal amount of baking soda. Then put a couple drops of water to make it a paste. Then spread this out all over the whole thing to make an even layer. To smoke it just get one of the tubes from a roll of toilet paper and light underneath and inhale.
Anyways, she thinks that it's a lot more addictive to freebase rather than to snort. Personally I have only shot it (kinda weird that I've only shot rocks and never snorted coke) so I can't say much about the addictive potential. The rush is much better freebasing opposed to snorthing thus your desire to do more right away. That's why I personally try to leave it as an infrequent habit. But I must add, the sound effects from shooting even half a rock (the rocks that you'd find on the streets for $10, not sure if you're familiar though) are amazing, no drug experience can really compare IMO.
As far as effects on your body...it can't be very good on the heart obviously. Check out erowid's coke section and the same basically applies, but also keep in mind, you are inhaling something now too, so your lungs are affected as well.
That's all I can really think of now (as I actually have a rock in me now). But if you don't get many replies here, try Health Q & A, your question seems more geared for that forum anyways. Hope that helped somewhat.
 
Cocaine does have some negative physical effects -- it can damage the heart with heavy/frequent/long-term use, and it tends to weaken the immune system, making your more susceptible to getting sick. Furthermore, if you smoke freebase cocaine (or 'crack'), then you are damaging your lungs as the smoke is fairly harsh. All smoke is harmful to the lungs, and though crack smoke won't kill you, it can certainly cause problems over time if you smoke enough freebase on a regular basis. Another thing to watch out for with any cocaine use -- many coke heads don't eat enough (b/c of coke's appetite suppressing effects) and so can lose weight and become malnourished (leading to hair loss, brittle nails, dull and unhealthy skin, etc). So, make sure that you still eat normally and pay attention to personal hygeine.
What are probably even more problematic with cocaine and even more so freebase usage, though, are the psychological consequences. Psychosis, addiction, agression and violence (esp when coming down, or craving the next fix) can all result from cocaine use.
Despite the fact that cocaine is not physically addictive, it seems to be extremely psychologically addictive for many people, so if you want to avoid addiction (which you seem to have a tendency to, already), then be very careful about your usage. Moderate it carefully; don't let yourself do too much or do it too frequently. It IS possible to use cocaine without becoming addicted or suffering too many negative consequences, but only if you use will power (or don't like coke ;) ).
Good luck, and watch out for yourself...

Anyway, what are those sound effects that everyone describes about coke?
How are they? Why are they so pleasurable?

Thurgood, that's basically how me and my friends do it, but we don't put nearly as much baking soda on the foil as we do coke. Anyway, I like smoking it better than snorting it, but like someone was saying, it makes me want more, more, more and MORE right away.

huh? Ive never seen anyone freebase this way. If you use ammonia all you have to do is dump a small amount of coke in the spoon with some ammonia. The shit will come together and is scooped out with a butterknife or penny. The cut stays on the bottom (cloudy).
If using baking soda you dump a small amount of coke in a spoon add a small pinch of baking soda (nowhere near as much as the coke) and add a couple drops of water. then heat/remove heat again. the shit will turn to oil (like soup rings) and finally start to solidify into a beautiful white or yellowish chunk (depending on the coke) when you shock it with cold water .
never heard of the tinfoil thing.
ANYWAYS, coke is fucking horrible. I have been using it mostly on weekends for a couple years now. I dont spend alot but usually go through a gram each weekend. If I fuck up and use during the week I could go through 1 1/2 grams a week. Not too bad a habit I guess but I need blunts and weed for this as well since I dont smoke the shit straight up.

fairnymph, freebase cocaine is vaporized, its not smoked. and since its water soluble, none (or a negligable amount) of it stays in your lungs.
also, new evidence suggests that coke may be slightly physically addictive.
other than that, the cardio effects are really the only bad ones, long term anyway.

I have never got auditory hallucinations from smoking crack or snorting coke, and I have done my fair share of both, however, a nice fat injection of cocaine will create a wonderful ringing sound in your ears, if I inject enough sometimes I can't even hear above the ringing...

Freebase cocaine is NOT water soluble.
