quick question about cocaine

Status
Not open for further replies.
No unless you start completely destroying your veins or if it is cut to hell with something really bad for them. Both are very risky unless you have pure and practice moderation at all times (hard to do with any form of cocaine).
 
Potentially I believe it is yes because of the risk of not dissolving the powder properly so getting splits into the veins, the risk of air in there too and of course all of the stabbing veins is not good for veins.

Smoking it isn't great for your lungs but probably safer, overall, smoking rather than shooting

Obviously there is a heightened risk with both of these methods over snorting due to shorter lasting high and users report feeling a 'rush' with IV and smoking. Users often get caught trying to chase the initial 'rush'.

It is important for me to stress that any method can lead to addiction, snorting is not exempt. Coke, regardless of the ROA, will put stress on the heart by increasing the heart rate and in turn blood pressure.
 
^ this, generally, although smoking crack really can do terrible things to your lungs - I know someone with emphysema at a very young age from crack smoking (anecdotal I know, is 6.40am, sorry!)

Poppa, I'm worried about you. You were posting about wanting to stop smoking crack. Please don't start shooting it instead!
 
You're either trolling this forum or you need to get yourself to a drug counselor without delay, I'm gonna assume you not trolling, coz I'm a trusting soul like that:)

IV is significantly more dangerous, especially in the short term than smoking compared smoking crack which isn't great either, but is unlikely to kill you in one hit.

Have a listen to the recent Whitney Houston concerts if you wanna hear what smoking crack does for you FFS.

You seem to have well and truly hit the self destruct button, don't end up another statistic with a tag on your toe in a big fridge somewhere, get some help before its too late.

Best Wishes
 
Seriously poppa smurf. How many coke questions are you going to post every day ? I would have to say, based solely on what I see you post here that you have a very REAL problem with cocaine. Look into social services where you are (MHMRA) and get some help before you trash your life beyond repair. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but you really seem like you need more help than anyone on this forum can offer .
Best of luck to you.
I also realize many people dont seek help until it is their last option. Please don't wait that long,
 
Due to it's vasoconstrictive action, the risk of collapsing veins is much higher than with most IV drugs so that's another aspect to consider.

As far as commonly used routes go, snorting is going to be the best balance of effectiveness and relative safety.
 
WOW is it worse to shoot? OF COURSE, you WILL DIE if you shoot coke eventually, maybe not today, next month, or next year, but u will know when u IV that shot and feel the rush that its too late, you will know ur going to die within minutes...its russian roulette! i have a crack probem, and even wit a big hit, sometimes i get really scared from the rush that im gonna have a heart attack.

From personal experience, mainlining any substance is the most harmful and destructive method of administration. This is because the drugs (and all the shit that they are cut with) enter your bloodstream immediately. They are not subjected to first pass metabolism and like other methods that bypass the gastrointestinal tract, they get you really really really high essentially immediately.

Smoking is safer than shooting any substance. There is a reason that needles are the end of the line. Use your brain. stay away.
 
^^ Not to mention once you start mainlining any drug you will chase that high for the rest of your addictive life. It's literally called "Chasing the high" Not to mention all the potential health risks of shooting up any drug not just cocaine.

Pappa, I am not sure if you are looking for attention, trolling, or trying to find someone, somewhere, someway to say that doing cocaine or crack in any form or another is OK? or your trying to find any excuse no matter how minimal or indirect to tell yourself that doing the drug in anyway shape or form is ok or better one way or the other? Honestly I have lost track as to what any of your intentions are with all the posts you toss up here on practically a daily basis, whether it be looking for reassurance or finding ways around why you should or should not quit, but pappa, you have a serious problem with your addiction an if you don't stop now, or get some professional help soon, you are not going to live long enough to ask your next question here.

I think it's safe to say by this point that everyone here that has had the pleasure or displeasure of reading your posts are deeply concerned about you. You ask all these questions about crack and cocaine, and no matter what anyone says, no matter what answers you get, you come back with another question that seems to be seeking out some kind of answer that gives you the acceptance you need to do whatever your going to do anyway, and you rarely respond back to the answers your given, at least I have never seen you respond.

It seems to me, that we at blue, are all concerned about you, your usage and your questions. Why not take as much time trying to get yourself some help and quit your habit as you do asking all these questions? In fact will bet you all ready know the answers. It feels to me as though this is some kind of game to you, and you are not taking your drug use seriously. This shit is going to kill you the way you are going, and don't think for a moment that this fact doesn't concern us because it does. Take the time you spent writing these question to actually read the answers we have all given you beit your question on using or quitting. It's got to stop.

Please do yourself a favor and get yourself some help before you end up dead. This is not something you should take litely and I will not apologize for being blunt about it. I will not apologize if I scare you for telling you that your going to kill yourself and if you don't kill yourself you will wind up wishing you were dead. You need to take a hard look at yourself and ask yourself if this is really how you want to live in what possibly could be a very short rest of your life.

So stop taking advantage of everyones good nature and time by asking these questions until you become serious about yourself and the rediculous position you are putting yourself and everyone who reads and responds to you in. Not to mention the position your potentially putting your family and friends in with your use.

Please get yourself some professional help and quit the crap now while you still have a chance.

Respectfully,

-Pain

Papa, you're a crack head.

No disrespect, but you need to see that.

You're constantly fighting with yourself and justifying your crack use while inebriated on the drug. Your logic is flawed because you're only seeing what you want to see.

Rehab bud - youll look back on this and realize how different you actually were.

good luck pal
 
definetly get help, im struggling with crack addiction, it is very hard, going through 3-5 day benders riding back and fourth downtown to get more/becoming grimey and losing moral standards and whatver means necessary to get high (stealing from family, breaking the law), constant depression and anxiety when coming down off it, its ridoclous to pay TEN smackers for 2 blasts which leaves ya satisified for a pathetic 10-15mins, its devil, and misery, plenty of times i thought i really was gonna have a heart attack by taking too big of a hit, i used to IV cocaine-dont expect to live past 10 years, i have Ived cocaine, only 0.1g, the rush and ear ringing was so intense i had to jyump out of the car and lay in the snow babbling to myself that i will be in the morgue tonitem leaving 2 children behind, selfishly due to my addiction, alot of people will suffer pain from an addicts death,
 
I think it's safe to say that we ought not to put to much seriousness behind his posts anymore. I mean not to sound rude or cold towards Pappa, however, he asks all these questions, but then never responds to any of our answers, and as his posts progress so do the seriousness of his questions. He is driving himself in to the proverbial "Jails, Institutions, or Death" that I am sure any addict has heard that our addictions will one day lead us too. If here would take any of this as seriously as we do when we respond, I would do what I could to help him out, but it's apparent to me that all he is looking for is the littlest bit of justification to continue his habit. I for one doubt I will respond to another one of his posts, and I think if we all stepped back a minute and looked at his posts, maybe the best thing for any of up to do is ignore his posts, maybe then he may get the hint that in no way will we give him any reason to justify his actions. I don't know if way of you agree with that modality of thinking but thats how I feel about it.
 
Okay, time to close this I think.

Poppa, shoot me a pm if you have any queries..
