Cocaine How concerned should one be about levamisole in cocaine?

I think it's safe to assume that any cocaine one may acquire is cut with this stuff. The question for me then becomes: as someone who has never tried cocaine before, how concerned should I be that a one-time use will lead to neutropenia, agranulocytosis, or vasculitis? My initial thought is that these risks only apply to regular and/or heavy cocaine users.

Bonus question/thought:

Could the stimmy and "on edge" feeling some people report after the cocaine effects fade be due to the metabolite of levamisole, aminorex, exerting amphetamine like actions at monoamine transporters?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24296074

Given that the half-time of levamisole and aminorex exceeds that of cocaine, it may be safe to conclude that after the cocaine effect "fades out" the levamisole/aminorex effect "kicks in".

Another question (rather than making new threads):

Which is more neurotoxic, MDMA or cocaine?
 
Welcome to BL Fract:)


I would be concerned about the leve.. it really kinda nasty stuff. I don't know how long you have been doing blow.. but I remember this shit coming around in like 02 or so.. this will dependent on where you live.. its right about the time when what looked like good blow turned out to be crap.. had that unique alabaster hue, but didn't pack the punch.. it also can have really bad side effects in people.. when the world stops buying this shit we can get back to real coke.. until then don't by it.. its much more economical and fun to get a little reg amp for a fraction of the cost and be pretty good all night dosing once or twice. coke I feal is the most cut drug on the planet.. if they can pump 95% pure meth hell they can do the same for coke.. once the world just stops buying their dog shit, they will have to change. The US already has woken up in a big way and no longer buys their shit.. in nearly the fashion they once did.

As far as the neurotoxicity.. im not sure I yet buy the claims on coke.. my opinion is that I have seen more negative outcomes, as far al lasting results from chemicals claimed to be MDMA than coke.. so please test to make sure your getting what you want.

Thanks for the welcome. This is a great community.

I've actually never tried coke. The levamisole issue is one that is weighing on my decision whether to try it or not. I understand amphetamines are more cost effective but I'd still like to try coke to compare it to amphetamines like adderall and MDMA.
 
Coke will be the one you feel like you wasted your money on out of the 3 that you mentioned.
 
There is now a test kit for levamisole. If people refused to buy it, it wouldn't be in there. The reason it IS in there is because it adds weight if your basing the stuff. Before levamisole was phenacetin for which there was a trade. It was called 'super mix' or 'turbo mix'. I guess the Columbians found out and added at source.

That really doesn't concern me.

Right, except a test kit isn't of much use if you only have one source and it's cut. Remember, I'm going by the assumption that what I obtain is indeed cut with levamisole.
 
It's impossible to tell how levamisole will affect you. You could turn out to be allergic to it, you could not notice it at all, or anything in between. It has seen some human usage as a dewormer in short courses so I think if you're using cocaine once in a blue moon you probably don't have to worry as much. Regular/frequent users are certainly at the most risk for all the wierd side effects.

A lot of people would tell you that if you only have one source and he sells you booted down coke then it's not even worth bothering at all. At best you're going to buy some ~30% coke, and at worst a cocktail of random shit. The experience will be a poor representation of cocaine in general.

Technically you see stuff like agranulocytosis with other cocaine cuts (phenacetin was pulled from the market for that), it's just that dewormer is a little more evil sounding than saying it's cut with Tylenol precursors. And to be honest regular cocaine abuse is going to take a toll on your immune system, cuts or not, 'cause it makes your body expend more energy.
 
Thanks for the info...I understand that cocaine is very "hit or miss."

What about neurotoxicity? Is it less neurotoxic than MDMA?

So - don't buy it!

The above tells you the risk your running. We only hear about the deaths, but the severe illnesses are clocking up into their 1000s and it's for a drug that most people consider very poor value in any case.
 
I'm interested in knowing about this as well. I haven't done coke in 5 years, and probably wont do it again for another 5 years, but am planning on getting some for a trip to las vegas. Only a small amount to enjoy one of the nights I am there, probably a gram or 2. I am just wondering if this stuff levamisole is that bad for people like me who may only use coke a handful of times over the years, or if the negative affects really only are a hazard to regular users. Any medical/scientific response would be appreciated.
