Cocaine IV Coke Question?

[frankstallone]

Hey, I am a longtime member of bluelight but for some reason I forgot my password and it's not sending the email.

I did a big shot of dope earlier, well one bag but I was clean for almost 3 months until about 3 weeks ago and have been using a few bags every weekend. I got really high, did a shot about 3 hours ago, and decided to pick up some coke. I keep doing shots of coke every 20 mins or 30 mins or so. After the last one I waited 40 minutes and ended up nodding out. Also I find myself not fiending the coke as bad as usual. Usually right after the rush is over I wanna do another one. Is it because I did the dope or because the coke is better and not cut with amphetamines? Anyway I get really high but I can't seem to get a bell ringer, and I am doing more than enough since I have no tolerance. Everything else is there, less nausea actually. Is it because the dope is in my system I can't my heart rate high enough to hear the bells?

Also, I have three bags of dope left over. One is a strong dose for me, I have to go to work in 2 hours. What is the ratio for coke to dope I should use for a good mix? I'm a busboy and it gets really busy at this restaurant should I just save the coke for later and do a shot of the dope?

Although many people associate Bell Ringers with the actual high - the actual noise is nothing more than a SHARP spike in your Blood Pressure. You could already be getting the rush you're looking for, just without the high BP, so it seems less powerful to you. The rest of what happens to your body during a Bell Ringer is quite hard on you physically and if you can get rid of those side effects, it may feel different, but may actually be easier on your body.
The Dope cut down on the nausea for sure. Every time I've ever smoked Crack or shot Coke without Dope in my system, I got nauseous and threw up or almost threw up after every shot or hit. 1 or 2 hits of weed prior to a shot or hit are great as well to kill the nausea. I'd save your dope for the Coke comedown later.
ANSWER - You DO NOT need to hear the bells to get a "Bell Ringer". It's nothing more than a pre-conditioned response telling you that you didn't get high even though you did. The Dope just cuts down on the intensity of Coke and turns it into added Euphoria - at least that's how it works for me. Best luck either way. Have fun.

IV coke destroys souls, families, and everything that you once were, or could have been. It is perhaps the most merciless drug out there, tied with IV methamphetamine.

Please use a micron filter because cocaine quality is known to be VERY low and the contaminants can be very dangerous and it is by far one of the most fiendish drugs out there so you lose any remnants of your morals and it's just the end of the road man, please don't get on that autobahn to hell.

About 8 hours I did a shot of coke and missed a 1/4 of it. It swelled up and was red. I put ice on it for a few minute and then heat, wasn't sure which one was the preferred method. I had to go to work and just got back. I have a heating pad available and/or and icepack. The swelling went down to where it is unnoticeable, but obviously the area is slightly soar and hard. Should I apply heat or an icepack. Also, is there anything else I should do like go to the doctor and get antibiotics? Or just wait and few days and see how it plays out?

Wow I hate to sound like my mom but 'what is the perfect speedball ratio' is kind of one of those questions that raises more questions than answers. Cocaine is an endorphin re-uptake inhibitor, it takes a good day and a half to get out of your system and you won't regulate your happy chemicals normally until its out of your system.

If you are already dependent on 'dope' I strongly suggest cutting the stimulants out of your routine until you can sleep normally unmedicated. Not trying to be a downer just a voice of reason, I have a no veins left in my forearms because of these lovely things.

 

[Spiffypip]

Because I can not stress this enough IM'ing cocaine is never a good idea while it is true IV'ing drugs is technically safe the effect on muscle and tissue by cocaine is just horrible. Smoke it as crack if you must in a harm reduction since but never put it in your arm or god forbid your hip.

I remember the first time I heard this lecture and I repeate it with a bit of self-richiousness. Do forgive me.

yeah the few times i decided to try IV coke, it scared the sh*t outta me. I personally think it kills the opiate high when trying to combine them.

i kinda feel what tricomb and others think about the IV coke thing. not only is it a huge health risk, but it seems to get out of hand easier than just about anything ive ever tried. i had to cut myself and my girl off of coke completely because, luckily, i saw what was happening and it scared me enough to quit. i mean after a short time i was already not getting anything outta snorting lines of decent stuff. crazy... i cant imagine IV crack, but have read about it, stupid im sure.

Plus i seem to notice that stimulant abuse causes mental health issues easily.

sry to sound like a butt, just sayin... it aint good!

and yeah id be paranoid about that miss too. if it gets worse at all id go have it checked out, u dont want to risk a bad infection or blockage. u should have iced it at first. then apply heat later to help get circulation to it if it hasnt got worse or more painful. at least thats what ive always thought. u could google how to handle a missed shot...

 

[Zerrr]

RE: missed shot, I believe you had heat asap, then maybe ice later. You add heat to get more blood to flow to that area, helps prevent infection.

Be careful not to shoot too close to the miss, Ive read about people od'ing this way.

 

[Mr.Scagnattie]

Any miss should first be treated with a hot compress to help the drug absorption and then an ice pack to reduce swelling. Keep an eye on it for infection. Swelling should go down considerably in 24 hours. If it gets worse, see a doctor.

Seek immediate medical attention at first sign of fever, this is usually a sign that you've contracted a bloodborne infection or another serious life-threatening health condition.

Do not wait a few days, a few days is what makes the difference between loss of life, limbs, and a whole plethora of horrible things. It is by far one of the most amateur mistakes that is unfortunatelly all to common especially with the paranoid mindset that IV cocaine can induce, that can lead to people not seeking proper medical attention until it is too late.

When in doubt, it's so much better to be safe than it is to be sorry. Don't withhold proper medical care because your paranoid about being a drug user, hopefully you understand that it is much more important to be safe, than it is to be sorry, dressed in black, giving a loved ones eulogy, blaming yourself wishing it could have been you that died instead.

I Don't mean to be melodramatic either; drug abuse is serious shit that is not something to be brushed off or talked about casually, but don't think of me as someone cockblocking your fun. I wouldn't be saying any of this shit if I didn't have a long, perilous, and oh so dark, dark (a stark contrast to that innocent-looking-compared-to-other-shit white powder, rock, or fishscale... It's all the same false hope, and endless rationalization; where it all begins, where it spirals to the very end), distant (thankfully) dance with that devil.

I have never gotten so close to selling my soul, in fact, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to forget that feeling. But that's a huge part of recovery, somewhere you're not currently at, and somewhere I really encourage you to seek before something happens that makes you seek it anyways, but with a burden you have to live with for the rest of your precious life.

There are limits to having fun, unfortunately that is just a fact of life. The sooner you learn to respect the substances you put into your body, and treat them accordingly, the better your chances of surviving are. Because your playing with your life everytime you inject yourself, that is a FACT that NO ONE can deny.

Many of us, from time to time, or 24/7/365 , most of us [have, or do] TRY to push and test these limits but it is when doing so that even united, we inevitably all will fall and when lives are on the line, it's important to remember how precious life is, the things we take for granted, all of the things that you do, you better be okay living with those actions for the rest of your life, you never quite know what the consequences may be, especially with such a soul-consuming, self-destroying, tornado of a drug that is IV cocaine.
