Hi ALL,

I would like to think I use once a week, but when I do I spend about $500 in that one day, lol

My question is I IV coke. AS you know coke purity varies alot out there. I thought the stuff I Was getting was great. Id do .2g and hear the train some times Id have to sit down becasue I felt relaxed that was it. SHooting coke is wonderful btw, but I dont recommend it to anyone, lol

SO I got this new coke or I should say I found a new dealer and took his stuff home took the .2g i ussaly took and did the sit down thing becasue of how good it was.

After 10min I was fine again went to my sisters house and since we where going out decided to do .2g maybe .25g so Id have a ice buzz for the ride.

I shot it took the belt off my arm started to here the trains right away like 5seconds at the same time tasted it in the back of my mouth those 2 things ussaly diff taste 10s later trains. took belt off quick herad the trains then i lost it.

My legs started to give out. I grabbed the bathroom towel rack but it broke, lol so almost fell.

I sat down on the seat "lid down" lol heat was pounding so hard never do I feel my heart in my chest this time I did, also my pupils where fully fully dialated
I felt really good but the worry I was about to overdose was in my head. Ive delt with the train sound before, but the legs giving way the heart and pupils also had me worried.

SO was i close to death or just a good shot that next time i should just sit down for?, lol

It you have pure coke 80%+ .2g can have you ODing fast lol thats just a small ass rock or a small bit of powder
 
I'm not sure that any of us can accurately assess how dangerous what you did is and we certainly can't guess how pure the coke you were getting was or how potent what you recently used was. In some areas, cocaine is so stepped on that using something 3x as potent would STILL be under 50% pure. I can't quote you on average purities by area or even the extremes, but understand that however pure you think what you're using is, it's probably not as pure.

Some cuts such as levamisole can produce profound and serious medical complications on their own and this can drastically change how potent a shot feels and how you react physiologically.
 
The best way to assess an unknown batch is to start with *assuming* it is nearly pure. (How much is safe depends on whether you have some tolerance, but a total beginner would not IV coke so if you IV you have some tolerance). One tenth of a gram (0.1 g) is what you would inject as a test. Then you extrapolate from there.
 
I am not a huge fan of shooting coke. Feel it is the most dangerous way to get high in general. Either I end up taking shot after shot searching for that high, and I throw up after pretty much every hit. Never really got that bellringer high, and sometimes it was fish scale coke. One time I shot up too much, heart rate was ridiculously fast and felt like i was going to die. I messed around with it for 3 months. IMO Crack>Shooting coke, not just the high but for safety(plus not having track marks, missing a vein with that shit is awful for you too)
 
eh iv cocaine iv is very risky especially since its typically done when your by yourself. i guess if you must do it start off with a smaller dosage and monitor your heart rate as best as possible. look up side effects of cocaine overdose or possible tipoffs of incoming stroke. good luck dude
 
On the edge

Thought XXL would answer this one, but since he didn't, I will.

You were right on the edge between a really good bell ringer and a full-blown (grand-mal) seizure. What you experienced was a mild seizure, assuming you remained conscious and retained enough balance to stay on the toilet seat. Did it feel like your head was swaying back and forth? At a slightly higher dose (not recommended) you would have been unable to stay seated on the toilet. You would have hit the floor and twitched or flailed uncontrollably, most likely knocking your head about on the tile floor.

At a slightly higher dose than that, you would have lost consciousness, and then either a) woken up, wondering what the fuck happened, or b) been found dead following cardiac arrest.

NOW - the important part: Follow XXL's suggestion and start with .1 (or some similar amount) and work your way up until you can figure out how strong / pure it is.

Release the tie after you register, not after you push the whole shot

If you are pushing a fat shot (i.e. .25g) take a pause before you push the last 5-10 units, and count to 10. Still OK? Push the rest.

Be safe. Have fun.

Also, forgot to mention:

How did you know it was .20? .25? Did you use a precision scale? Eye-balling a dose in that range can be really dangerous. When I used IV coke, I would always pre-mix the whole batch, 8-ball, quarter, whatever. 10ml per 3.5 g is a good beginner concentration. 5 ml per 3.5 has the consistency of pancake syrup and a 10 unit increase in dose can make the difference between a great bell-ringer and a body bag.

I mean, if you felt any discomfort, don't you naturally assume you did TOO MUCH? Its very hard to determine quality any time you're dealing with a street drug, but for some reason I always had this "theory" that cocaine was always cut so much. Don't attempt to re create what you experienced in your post. No one can be 100% sure what, exactly, happened to you during what was described in your post. When your body is trying to tell you something, LISTEN to it! If you can't breathe, if you lose sensation for a lengthy period of time..your body is trying to tell you, "hey, something is wrong here!"
 
well my pupils dialated fully 'never had that before even on some of the best X or acid trips' green eyes and they where fully black no ring even around or color, that is a sign in itself your bodies shocked no? lol it felt good but it was scary if i ever want to barf now i think of that time and i don't throw up at all that and my legs giving out, lol fun for people who like to chase that feeling but for me no more.

but hey Ive heard you get high or die trying so maybe I am a lightweight


yeah off coke moved to oxy, morp, some speedballs 'meth and oxy not h and coke the right away' got scared to death of that way, lol


coke right peaks for 15min wonderfully but maybe a crack addict should inject like me first because that's the closest you'll get to what I did without trying it-personally i dropped the coke added the meth and it rocks for hours!!and cheap!!lol-and my body seems to enjoy it but i have enough sense to stop after the bags gone and call it a party!! so happy fishing everyone!!Enjoy and be safe!!dont do what i say or do if ur no experienced!!!!

ps:coke rocks 'best 10-15min or your life no drug comes close period' 'when injected' but no your limits and what its cut with sometimes it exceeds what your body can handle!
