Cocaine Not feeling coke at all, dont think i am snorting right, feel damn retarded

[lance6181]

but at the same time i dont feel too bad because my breathing has been fucked up my whole life. but i have looked everywhere and there are so many conflicting things said, like you should snort or you should sniff. first of all wtf is the difference between the two? and online everywhere some people just say to breathe in while people say to sniff or snort really really hard.

if i snort hard nothing and if i simply breathe the coke through the straw in my nostrils i feel nothing as well. i never get that coke drip, well i have gotten it once. so the past days ive wasted like 2 gs of coke somehow trying to figure out how to properly get this shit in my mucous membranes. i had serious allergies and lung problems when i was younger so maybe i need to use extra effort to get the coke into my lungs

i have sniffed like when i have a cold i just do one simple sniff then i tried a long sniff, i really just need some guidance here and this will dramatically help with my breathing too because whenever i inhale i weeze so there is something going on here

thanks guys

Don't snort it hard, nor soft. Just give it a nice consistent suction down the entire line.

You don't want to snort it so hard it flies back into your sinus cavity / throat nor do you want to snort it so lightly that it sits near the tip of your nostril. Get it halfway up your nose or so.

The real trick to snorting shit is to put your hand an inch or so from your nose, and breathe out through your nose to see which nostril is currently your "active" and pushing the most air. ALWAYS snort with that nostril unless it's already packed with powder. DO THIS CHECK BEFORE EACH LINE unless you're blowing back to back IMO. Your "active" nostril changes up regularly, so it may be your left one minute and your right the next.

Push your "passive" nostril closed with a finger while you are snorting with the other to get the best suction.

After I get it up my nose, I also like to press against the side of my nose which I snorted it through to ensure that all powder is in contact with tissue and not lodged on hairs etc.



Edit: If you're having problems, try practicing the above with "bumps" as opposed to lines until you get the technique down. It'll be easier to get the hang of. Just cut up a line into X amount of bumps and snort away.


Edit 2: Also, you're supposed to get the coke mid-nostril not into your lungs

BTW, the thing about pressing against the nostril you snorted it with also works well if the drip is trying to come out of your nostril. Just apply pressure almost like you're pinching your nose and it'll be absorbed.

Another thing I do sometimes is after snorting a line, dip your finger in some water and snort the water off your finger once. It'll re-hydrate your nose after the coke dries it up, and I'd think it would provide better adherence / absorption. Works well if you've got too much powder in a nostril too.

** MAKE SURE TO SNORT WATER AFTER THE LAST LINE OF THE NIGHT OR WHATEVER ** Just put a tiny bit in your hand or a bottle cap or something and snort enough to make it feel like your nostril has been re-hydrated. This will keep your nose from being sore, cracked, and bloody the next day.

Cocaine is VERY hygroscopic, meaning it sucks water our of the air and surrounding surfaces, so common sense would tell you that the water thing will work wonders.

You don't want to get any coke in your lungs. Sniff it just enough to get it in your nose, and so it doesn't fall back out.

You probably got extremely low quality coke if you "wasted" 2 grams. Most people doing coke for the first time probably have bad sniffing technique, but they will surely get high still as long as it is decent coke.

sniffing=snorting

 

[lance6181]

yeah man i straight up tried sniffing it lightly and it went in my nose no coke fell out of my nose and i did not feel anything whatsoever, especially nno drip. ive only tasted the drip once and i was high for like 30 minutes that was off one line and i do not remember how i pulled that off

 

[Pancake Astronaut]

Bunk coke then IMO.

If you get the coke anywhere in your nostril, and don't snort it back into your throat, you're going to get high if it's good. Period.

Drip has nothing to do with how high you get, and you won't always get a drip.

If you still want to try though, like I said, dip the tip of your index finger in water and just snort the small amount of water off your finger. It may help to rehydrate the dried powder and disperse some of the coke that isn't touching mucous membranes.

Also, try the thing I said about pushing on the side of your nostril where the coke is sitting. It works well after doing the water thing also. Basically, it should theoretically moisten up any dried up unabsorbed powder and then by pinching it, you're forcing it into contact with membranes.

 

[Tommyboy]

The coke was either fake or very low quality this time then.

You only get a drip if you either sniff too hard, or if you are sniffling a lot after you sniffed it. Whether you get it or not doesn't matter much, meaning you should be high either way.

Edit: Pretty much the same things that Pancake has been saying.

hmmm i wonder then, the only thing that could make sense is that i do lack the enzyme cyp2d6, because in my past anything with codeine did not affect me, cyp2d6 is the enzyme needed to metabolize that. first knew something was up when i drank 4 fluid ounces of lean with my homie and like always he was fucked up and he couldnt believe i didnt feel anything. then like 2 months later i took some vicodins which did nothing so i was confused, knew i was a poor metabolizer so to make sure i took 4 vicodin which proceeded to actually do nothing.

and heres the thing, weed works of course i blaze fat everyday. took a tab of acid once and did nothing, could have been bunk? took mdma and i tripped for 20 hours, even furthering the evidence i do not have cyp2d6 because those who do not have extremely crazy reactions to small amounts of e.

and nah the coke is fucking beautiful i got an 8ball from 1 dealer who is known for having incredible yay and another source with incredible stuff. soo.. damn idk

You said you got high off of coke one time, and I don't know if you were suggesting the 30 min seemed short, but that's about right for coke.

I'd still say it's probably shitty coke... Either really stepped on or just plain fake.

Coke's really a foolproof drug. If it gets in your nose and is of even below-average quality, you'll feel it.

Just because the guy has a reputation for good blow doesn't necessarily mean anything. You have to think along the lines of the whole chain of command and what happened to the coke in their possession. The guy above your dealer, the guy above him, the guy above him, etc


Edit: And honestly, there's a very high chance that the coke that both of those dealers have came from the same source. If not first-in-line, likely second. anyone along the chain can (and will) step on it.... Especially if they want to take some off the side for themselves or just maximize profits.

 

[Tommyboy]

I didn't really feel much from vicodin the first few times I took it.

The acid was likely bunk, and the MDMA was likely adulterated. Most stuff being sold as MDMA these days has other drugs in it which could account for the effects you felt.

The dealer may be known for having good stuff, but you may be known for not knowing anything about coke, so he might have ripped you off.

Everything Tommyboy said is spot-on

Coke is a subtle high not everyone "gets" at first (unless they snort a lot of decent coke or shoot it). You may be expecting too much. Your coke could also be 3% pure. Look up "acetone wash" for next time you have a decent amount.

People you see snorting so hard in pop culture and among some users that their nostrils vibrate and they sound like a vacuum cleaner are either trying to draw attention to themselves and all the shit they're doing, they're truly ignorant and are sucking it down their throat, or they've done so much powder that they're horribly congested. Gently sniffing little bumps of coke (round mounds rather than long lines) every five minutes may not be the fastest way to get high as you dose more slowly and sometimes the powder must migrate a little to reach one of several membranes, but you'll waste far less drug than railing monster lines. You do it slowly and you won't suck any down your throat and less will bypass your membranes due to saturation.

There is a simple way to test half a gram so you know for sure how "reputable" the stuff you buying really is...
It involves plain ammonia w/ a half gram in a double broiler (shotglass w/ contents sitting in a small pot of 190 degree
water - do not boil ! Filter out oily substance (coke) then just let it dry - I like to set it on top of my stereo amp. taking it off & chopping it (so it dries faster) If the dried pile looks like one tenth the size of the original (half G.) you'll realize how reputable it really is... What you will have left will be highly euphoric Use the search engine if yer' confused how to
cook it down (I like the "double broiler" method)

Does rubbing it on your gums do anything?

Does your mouth get numb?

You probably got extremely low quality coke if you "wasted" 2 grams. Most people doing coke for the first time probably have bad sniffing technique, but they will surely get high still as long as it is decent coke.

Amen to that, it's a shame when people try drugs that they think are cocaine, mephedrone etc for the first time and walk away saying it's shit and they don't get the fuss. Little do they know that they just snorted paracetmol or talc
