Where was the crack bought? Purity? What method did you use to smoke it? (If you say tinfoil, I am going to laugh my ass off), how big of a hit for your first time? Were you on any other substance? Going through any WDs?
Funny and ironic as it may sound, there is actually a pretty complicated method to smoking stones properly. You can't just blast it as if you would with weed. Everyone's different and all sure, everyone's body reacts differently, but I'd put a very good amount of money on the fact that you smoked wrong. That being said, if you aren't using a stem with chore boy, you will not get the full potential. The only alternative is a bowl coated with cigarette ash, and even that, will not get you very far. I'm not going to tell you to "shut the fuck up" or "try again" because that would just be plain foolish. I will, however say that once you hit a bellringer and your vision blurs to the point where you can't see 1 foot past you, you will realize how comical your posts sound. Again, don't take it personally, but I think you were smoking wrong and had bunk crack.
You shouldn't have much of any regret, though. Maybe the reason you're still alive is because you've never felt a bellringer. Having bunk drugs can really be a savior for some people. They dismiss the substance, and never use it again. Others end up loving it a little bit too much, and I sure as hell don't blame them.
