It's not the cut at all. And it's not coke, either!

..how can someone not tell the difference between coke and ephedrine? if i got coke that made me feel like the effects i got from ephedrine, i would notice... that its not coke. anyone who's decent coke would be able to tell immediately it's not coke.
 
Someone I know in California got some cocaine that was VERY condensed and hard. It was almost like slicing off layers of white tar. The entire mass semed porous, and off white..no iridescence.

When he tried to cut it down for use with a blade, it was impossible to get it powdered, even after almost half an hour. There would always be tiny pebbles...and it cut his nose to shit after a few days use.

He said this coke was the worst he ever had, and decibed effects similar to Le Junk's past threads. Very very short rush, hard crash...then just a geeky waking coma.

I for one agree with Le Junk's hypothesizing..just my two cents.
 
malachi,

Just an FYI. With the exception of maybe 10 times in the last five years, I haven't done coke that even comes close in comparison to all of the coke I got in the mid to late 80's and early 90's.

It's like its entirely differnt drug. The smell, taste, lack of drip, euphoria, and sexual desire tells me theres something amiss.

Your statement that anyone should be able to tell the difference between cocaine and ephedrine is absolutely correct. But bare in mind that if, without your knowledge, you have only tried ephedrine or cocaine cut with ephedrine, then you really wouldn't be able to tell the difference would you?

Plain and simply put, if only two lines of your suspected cocaine geek you out, make you uncomfortable, make it difficult to put sentences together and puts sex on the back burner, your not getting good cocaine at all. Chances are its either not at all, or cut with something like ephedrine which will completely deminish any of the good effects of the cocaine because it is an "active" cut.
 
that sucks, the coke in your area isnt coke at all....but nationwide...?

i dont buy it.....at all, for good reason. Two other posters have given sound evidence as to how the substance has to be coke....IV usage, people get high as shit from shooting coke, this would not happen if you shot ephedrine. Also....people cook crack and smoke crack everywhere. This crack, comes from coke, you cant smoke ephidrine rocks, and if you could, it woudnt produce the same effects.
 
Like I said before, the sample I tested just happened to be ephedrine and procaine, nothing more. I DO believe that some cocaine is probably in 90% of the samples on the streets today.

The point is that ephedrine has now shown up in two different tests, in two different parts of the country.

As for the people that are shooting or smoking, I see no reason why they wouldn't be able to do that method still.

The ephedrine has a higher boiling point than that of cocaine, so it would pass right on thru with the cocaine for smokers.

Ephedrine is also water soluble so I see no reason for it not to pass right on thru with injection.

I believe that ephedrine is being used at least as a cut in a large portion of todays coke. It's cheap and it adds a high, especially to very diluted cocaine, but it also alters the good effects of the cocaine.

I really believe that this is a major reason as to why alot of todays cocaine is geeking people out.
 
no offense meant by what i said le junk.. its just im from miami.. so coke is never in any shortage around here. heh. thats probably why i'd know the difference. if i had never done coke before, i probably wouldnt know the difference... but i know i'd never do 'coke' again if it felt like ephedrine. :/
 
Le Junk,

Doesn't cocaine has a certain aroma and sheen to it??

How could you confuse it with ephedrine??

I've had experiences like your in BOston, coming across some bunk, but usually you call tell the real deal....

color me confused
 
Yes, but procaine, lidocaine or benzocaine will all provide a similiar aroma, sheen and numbing effects. The only thing left is to add something thats gets you high.....eg. ephedrine.

Like I previoulsy said, cocaine is still probably in 90% or more of the cocaine available on the streets. Its just that there is now evidence of ephedrine being used as a cut which would account for alot of todays street blow being very geeky!
 
god ephedrine sucks. if someone gave me ephedrine instead of coke there'd be a few less dealers on the street :X
 
this is nothing new, i've known that coke is cut with stimulants for years, before i even used drugs...

and its obvious anyhow...

real coke is not a rock or powder any way, if its soft, fluffy and gives you a clear high then its minimally cut coke.

you'll never ever get un cut coke unless you go to a coke factory..
 
you mean you haven't heard about the cocaine factory the yakuza are building in mexicali? 100% synthetic. it should be operational very soon, change the market dramatically and take a bite out of the Narcolombians income.
 
Whats up with the pictures?. Or, Maybe I missed something. After reading that you were going to post pictures - I skipped forward looking for a link or two.
 
I still have plenty of the sample left and will provide pictures, probably Monday. I didn't forget, its just "race weekend" here in Indianapolis (Indy 500) so I'll do the test when everyones gone.
 
haha you know what i mean where they process coke!!!!!!!! not coca cola, there are huge places around the world which produce coke..
