Cocaine iv coke dosage?

[rotgirrl]

is it possible to roughly dose the coke before shooting up? i’m a new iv user its only been a few days. i just want to make sure i’m preventing OD as much as possible. the new coke i got is more potent than the bag before (which was shitty and why i decided to shoot it) so i’m just nervous.

also does the amount of water you use matter much? i use enough to dissolve it completely but it always is based on how much coke i use, which i’ve been randomly dosing. is it all a guessing game with coke?

Its really hard to dose IV coke. Honestly about the best you can do without a scale is snort some to test potency nd just shoot a very small bump first

I'm always seconding this motherfucker. Get out of my head @paranoid android !

As you have implied in your OP, Cocaine is going to vary in potency from purchase to purchase. There is no easy or practical way of measuring potency without using the Cocaine yourself. Check out this little bit of knowledge I just came across. It is fascinating.

Nasal mucosal versus gastrointestinal absorption of nasally administered cocaine - European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology

Objective: Several xenobiotics, including cocaine, are dosed by the nasal route for systemic effects. The aim of this study was to estimate and compare cocaine input into the systemic circulation after oral and nasal dosing, and to determine the relevance of local absorption through the nasal...

This was a study on the bioavailability of Cocaine. They used multiple volunteers. They found that, on average ~19% of Cocaine is absorbed through the nasal mucosa while the rest is swallowed and absorbed orally. They mention two peaks, 10 minutes and 45 minutes with the explanation being the nasal dose htting first, followed by the residual oral dose.

Anyway, nasal BA is typically 60%-80% of the total Cocaine including what is swallowed. Let's just call it 70%. The only practical way I can think of for dosing the Cocaine more effectively would involve you doing a small amount of product intranasally, analyzing the potency, then you adjust your Intravenous based on the rationale that the BA is 100%.

I know it's a drag when all you want is that huge rush right up front, but if you're trying to be safe, you have to take the steps and be safe.

170 mg to 210 mg if it’s good coke

hell no, that's terrible advice and would result in overdose for many people

you want to take LESS than your usual line, maybe half of it. If it's high quality coke, start with 35mg MAX (in fact have a tester with 20mg first)
