Cocaine IV cocaine whens safe to use again?

[Nightlites]

Hi all!

just a quick question about IV'ing coke.

my friends using and hes just curious what a normal waiting time between shots would be?

like safely without over doing it?
like i know when crack is smoked people basicly do it for the rush, so they just smoke one after the other until its gone...
but can that safely be done the same way with iv? basicly shot then short period then readminister again and so on... ?

my questions are

1) whats a normal waiting time between shots?

2)how much is a normal dose iv for any of the people that use it here?

Hes previously done it before but it was always accompanied by Heroin so it was rollercoaster up n down style, hes clean now from h but just aquired some coke and was just curious about how others usually go about shooting.

Thanks!! :D

It isn't the best drug to IV to begin with.

I'd say to wait a few hours in between dosing.

Also it can quickly destroy your veins if you're injecting it and produces much higher cravings for more. Injecting street cocaine multiple times a day will wreck your veins fast. If you insist on injecting, wait a few hours between doses and research the best techniques for injecting to minimize adverse effects and damage. But I have seen people properly filter it and everything and still end up with abscesses, scarring, collapsed veins, etc.

When I used to have access to completely pure cocaine, I IV'd very frequently. At first I would go about 20 minutes between shots.
I didn't like the number of pin holes I was making all over my arms, so I forced myself to wait an hour between shots.
I would usually do this for 2-3 days in a row and then quit.

My highest dose was 90mg, except for the one time I 'almost' missed a 60mg shot and then shot 60mg in the other arm.... the near miss
was leaking into my vein quick, so I got 120mg within a minute or so. It was the scariest experience of my life, thought I was going to die.

My lowest dose was 20mg I think, and I found 40-60mg to be just right for me.

Keep in mind this was 100% cocaine though. When I checked recommended doses online before ever trying it, the amounts I saw listed
were much higher than what I took. If I were to use those recommended doses with the coke I had, I would not be here typing this.

Hah, there's no rules really when it comes to IV coke, man... it's one of the most compulsive things out there. The drive and urge to excessively and compulsively redose is incredibly strong. Most people, me included, will do another shot ever like 15 minutes or so.. sometimes even sooner. But, if you can force yourself to have some control..(shooting dope in between coke shots helps) then you should try and wait as long as you can in between doses. It feels better that way anyway... the longer you wait, the stronger the rush will be again when you finally do it. But, when you get riled up in a coke frenzy, you want to chase that rush hard so as soon as you comedown even a little bit after a shot, the drive to immediately take another and get that bellringer back is really intense. Be careful man. That shit really fucks with your head if you do it enough.. the day I started shooting coke was the day my addiction reached a whoolleee new level.

Yeah, I had to laugh when I saw this. IV cocaine is not safe period.

And good luck trying to wait an hour between shots.. Easier said then done, but I would try and stop, IV coke nearly killed me-there is nothing more fiendish.

Same, It's been over two years since I last shot cocaine (or anything for that matter). I would not have made it another 2 years, so I'm glad I stopped when I did. I don't even feel comfortable posting how frequently I redosed due to how anti-HR it is, even with a disclaimer.

 

[Nightlites]

yea i understand how unhealthy it is, i mean its coke pumping through your veins :/

but its def not something to do often, it had been almost a year since the last shot of girl... it was something that would be done while shooting H, and that kinda makes the whole experience different ya know? just lookin for some HR... but i can assure you that will be the last time. atleast for a long while lol...
im safe and sound but honestly began to worry after my heart was banging something fierce in my chest! i forgot to post the coke was suuuuuuperr gnarley good stuff... honestly after the first "bellringer" there was never a second.... honestly there was no rush whatsoever after the first one... honestly felt the same. besides the rushing heartbeat that followed the plunger pressing...

When i was addicted to heroin i used to use alot of coke IV too, often mixting the two. I used to shoot up when i had it i would use every 5-10 minutes and when i wasnt getting high i was on the corner tryin to make enough for another shot...hope that answers your question.

I never really had a problem kicking any kind of drugs or fiending for anything until I IV'd coke. I went on a binge for a little while because I just couldn't stop.
Eventually I did though, and life went on to other things. I was taking prescribed pramipexole (its an RLS drug, also used for lowering prolactin). A friend had some coke again a much longer time later, and I took a TINY rock, I'm thinking less than 5mg and shot it again just to see the quality. I got ZERO rush, but major heart rate and BP increase, very bad experience. I figured the quality was junk, and that is why it was happening. I did an acetone wash and tried again. No luck.
I stopped the pramipexole a while back for other reasons and forgot about it, then tried an IV coke shot again just to test its quality, probably just 10mg. It rang my bells even at that dose! So prami definitely interferes with coke. I did see some info on google of them using it to reduce coke cravings, so there maybe something to that.
So If you want to quit IV blow, prami may be of help..... the huge danger though is that at least for me, even though the cravings were gone, if you did end up doing it and used even the slightest decent dose of coke, you will have problems.

Hi all!

Hi!

just a quick question about IV'ing coke.

Oh, just a lil' IV coke? Okay, shoot.

my friends using and hes just curious what a normal waiting time between shots would be?

Normal is a funny way to put it.

like safely without over doing it?

Safely? Wrong drug and ROI. Safe has nothing to do with it. You mean which is least likely to end in death or seizure?

like i know when crack is smoked people basicly do it for the rush, so they just smoke one after the other until its gone...
but can that safely be done the same way with iv? basicly shot then short period then readminister again and so on... ?

No. It cannot. And for the sake of harm reduction, anyone shooting coke like crack would be wise to do so low to the ground, and over a padded surface. (Helps reduce traumatic head injury during seizures). Unfortunately, coke is also injected for the rush, and it's quite a bit stronger. Fiending has a funny effect on safe intravenous cocaine use protocol.

1) whats a normal waiting time between shots?

As infrequently as you can. There is no safe level or frequency. So as infrequently as possible. I would wait for core temperature to fall back to safe levels, in addiction to blood pressure and resting heart rate. I would also wait for the drug to be eliminated. But come on, who does that?

2)how much is a normal dose iv for any of the people that use it here?

Don't know. I always eyeballed it and/or pushed in until I felt the freight train was coming too strong. Which is not safe at all. Nothing involving IV cocaine is safe. There are less-dangerous doses, but like I said, I always eyeballed it.

Hes previously done it before but it was always accompanied by Heroin so it was rollercoaster up n down style, hes clean now from h but just aquired some coke and was just curious about how others usually go about shooting.

Thanks!! :D

If he is dead set on doing it, he should do less than what he mixed with her heroin. The opiate will mask some of the effects, and so the same dose may be far too strong on its own. By strong I mean subjectively. It's always going to be too strong if he is shooting for the train. Also, it is much more dangerous to use it with heroin, even if "some of the edge" is taken off.

The other thing I should mention about the safety(or lack of safety) of IV coke is that there is weird volatility to it. It can act different every time at any dose (for me anyway).
I've shot 30mg before and got bellringing trainstation trips without so much of a feeling of increased HR.... but I've done 30mg from the same bag and got a weaker ringer and a massive HR increase. Maybe its timing, maybe its where/how exactly its injected, or how frequent you've been using it, or maybe there is more cut garbage in some shots than in others (although I have tested that variable with an anhydrous acetone wash on high quality blow and still had problems with consistency. Maybe there are cuts that are impervious to acetone washes that dealers are getting sharp on).
carboxymethylcellulose, cefoperazome sodium, ceftazidime, calcium acetate are all insoluble in acetone, some are water soluble (which was my really old school unreliable way of testing coke out, lol), and are either white or yellowish powders or white crystalline. Sounds like that may be what is going on. Because to me, there should not be that much variation in how much a drug affects you. I have done doses of IV coke that made me feel like I was in heaven with virtually no sides and good vitals, then nearly had to go to the ER on the same dose when I did it again the next day. I doubt I rebuilt that much dopamine naturally after a coke binge by sleeping 8 hrs, so I doubt that was why it happened.

So now whenever I do a shot, I have 911 pre-entered on my phone, I prep a dose I THINK I can handle, and I SLOWLY push about half of it in.... I re-aspirate to see if I am in the vein still (have slipped out many times), and I am not feeling like I took too much yet, I push the rest in. Not fool proof, but I do what I can.
I also keep benzos and seroquel on hand, take Lisinopril daily for BP, I have tons of natural vasodilators that I can get my hands on. If you are interested in any of this stuff, spend some time looking at bodybuilder products.... they love to bring out their veins so they use vasodilators to do it. I wish so badly I could get my hands on legit IV Valium, Dexdor, or nitroglycerin.

Most people that IV coke I know end up pretty much just binge-shooting it until their stash is gone. I don't think I've ever met an IV coke user who would just shoot up a few times a day as opposed to pretty much slamming a shot, smoking a cig, and prepping their next right after

you should try and wait as long as you can in between doses. It feels better that way anyway... the longer you wait, the stronger the rush will be again when you finally do it.

This. I typically wait ~30min between shots. Sometimes they get more spaced out depending on totally fucked I am & what I'm doing.
