Cocaine Hydrochloride will combust 90% of the Cocaine before it reaches your lungs. It's highly inefficient. There are plenty of step by step guides outlining how this is done. It's a wicked easy process that anyone can do if they can follow directions and be patient.
I agree with the conclusion you've arrived at here
@offsidetye . Smoking (Vaporizing) Cocaine is a very different experience than insufflation. Cocaine does not have a long duration of action in general. In my experience, and this seems to be similar to others', the Cocaine hits within 2-5 minutes peaks at 15-20 plateaus for 20-25 and then the comedown starts before you hit 60 minutes. This all changes both objectively and subjectively when you're using Cocaine more frequently/higher dosages.
With Crack Cocaine you get the hit immediately, the effects peak within 5 minutes and the comedown starts within 15-20. If you're insufflating Cocaine, it's possible to go to the bathroom, do some lines, then dance for an hour and repeat. With Crack, there is such an intense high that you're often locked in place, tense until you start dropping off, then you want to smoke more Crack. I guess my point is, Crack is a lot different than insufflating Cocaine for this basic reason. It sounds like you're relatively new to all of this. Cocaine itself is addictive, yes. However, there is always the possibility of doing other fun, enriching, human things whilst also using the drug. Crack tends to lock you in a room, figuratively and literally.
