Believe it or not, what the OP is saying is true. In 2006 I kicked a 7 year heroin habit with crack.. in essence the same thing as coke, just the smokeable form. My intentions weren't even to kick the heroin, I just tried crack for the first time and ended up bingeing on it for two weeks straight.. in the end I ended up in jail for something unrelated, but from the time I picked up the pipe all the way to the time of my arrest I hadn't touched any heroin which is weird because as I said I had been using heroin for 7 years straight. But I didn't experience any withdrawals.. but at the same time I picked up the nasty crack habit which completely took over my life for two weeks. I was literally smoking from the time I woke up till night, driving around lost out of my mind. That was 10 years ago, I no longer smoke crack and just take 8mg dilaudids for a back injury I had. But I said all that to say this, you can beat your withdrawals with crack.. possibly coke too, but you really have to have enough of the product to do it at your leisure so you're constantly high from the drug. I can't guarantee it will work for everyone, but I can say with crack not coke I beat my iv heroin habit. Sorry to have babbled for so long, but the OPs post intrigued me when I read it because this is the first time I've heard anyone bring this method up before.
