RCs Smoking ethylphenidate without freebasing

[DistyBoi]

Am I gona have to go ADD on this one then?

^ That's the best option, imo. I've never smoked anything but weed, and never have done any RC's or MPH, let alone EPH, so I can't help you there.

Good luck in ADD!

Since I didn't notice the OPs questions really answered, I'll give it a go.

As I understand it, your two usual forms of drugs are an HCl salt or a freebase. There are others, like fumarate, etc. "Freebasing" does not mean smoking or vaping or any other route of administration. It simply means converting to a freebase, chemically speaking.

The reason this is done has nothing to do with potency. A lot of people think 'basing something makes it stronger. What is really being accomplished is the boiling (vaporization?) point is coming down, hopefully much further away from the tempature that the substance would be destroyed at. Freebasing allows for smoother vaping at lower tempatures, isn't usually as harsh on the lungs / throat. The down side to freebasing is that it leaves it in a state that isn't nearly as stable. You really don't store most freebase drugs for very long. You generally only base what you will use in a sitting.

I'm no expert, but that's how I understand it.

I'm not entirely sure if ive got the term freebasing correct, but as I understand it most ethylphenidate comes in a form that most people would not want to smoke. Like you would not want to smoke cocaine without freebasing it into crack first. However I've got extremely hardened lungs from years of smoking and so can bear the pain from smoking it. Ended up smoking a fair bit the last few days, before I realised this is probably stupidly unhealthy in some way.

How is this unhealthy, what difference does smoking it in its raw form (so to speak) have in terms of smoking a freebase version? I'm kinda noob about smoking chemicals. Always been a snorting or bombs away guy.

smoking the freebase doesn't work. the hcl is vapable.
