Cocaine So the fire bag of coke I did was crack, everything makes so much more sense now

I haven't done much cocaine in my life, less than 10 grams total I would generously guess has gone up my nose in 20 or so years. Just a bag shared between friends on special occasions when there is coke around(which in my part of the world isn't often).

We got this bag on a holiday in my country off a random(kind of known but not really) dude and one single gram bag got me and 5 friends totally fucked up for the night. The euphoria was intense and the visual distortion and general 'drunkness' and crazyness we all felt(although we were also drinking) was really something else. We all thought the bag was just some really good shit but then in recent time I've been 'close to the source'/South america, acetone washed and had what is essentially 'pure'(well, very close) cocaine at my disposal. The effects were.. not as dramatic, much more 'medical' and therapeutic feeling - driving and day to day stuff felt safe and normal albeit focused. Definitely strong and good cocaine but not like that bag me and my mates got.. we were bouncing off the walls all night doing a 'normal' sized line every hour or so.

Well today I went to research cocaine in general, best ways to clean and use it and not get so fucked up next time I travel there(I ended up using small amounts frequently for a week strait at the end of my trip and my nose especially got a bit fucked up) it mentioned the system of using a microwave to 'dry' coke that is tacky and oily and heavily stinking of kerosene/solvents in this research. Then I remembered how one friend used this same method one night when we got a bag a couple years ago. But curiously it goes on to mention that microwaving cocaine can create small amounts(or not so small if you fuck it up or do it deliberately) of crack cocaine in the mix. Long story short the effects of crack cocaine(or a mix of coke and crack) match up with me and my friends night. A 're rocked' bag, which until today I did not know was a thing. You don't really absorb much via your nose but the drip goes into your stomach and then you absorb the crack orally. It would also explain why the effects were so.. roller coaster. It wasn't right after the line the buzz hit hard but a bit after and lasted longer than cocaine - people were still buzzing well over an hour - but not long enough for me to think it wasn't cocaine(like meth or amphetamines). Which made me convinced it was just really good cocaine as I hadn't even considered crack could look and taste and snort the same(or similar) especially if mixed in with actual coke.

Anyway more just talking out loud because as a non user I found this super interesting.
 
When crack makes it to your stomach, your stomach acids just convert it into cocaine HCl. Cocaine is orally active, but it requires quite a bit more than you would take up the nose.

If you have access to drug checking where you live, it would be interesting to see if there is anything else in the especially hyper cocaine.

One last thing that could explain it is set and setting. This goes beyond your psychological mindset, and includes your physiology, as our bodies are in a constant state of flux due to our diets, our drug diets, exercise, and other health metrics. Sometimes the variables line up and give you a bizarre experience.
 
I’m a little confused, so just to clarify, you think that you were sold crack instead of powder cocaine?

To clarify, I believe the coke we did was 'contaminated' or partially crack/freebase as well as cocaine. Something I forgot to mention is our eyes were huge.

As for converting in our stomachs... yes, maybe im wrong here.. but it seems crack somehow enters your bloodstream in a substantial enough way that its effects are noticeable, when snorted. Whether thats purely from getting into your bloodstream from your nose or partially the drip/stomach, I cant say I honestly know for certain.

Please do not take anything I say the wrong way. The knowledge and experience I have gained over many years is personally my own, not learned from books or movies.

Do you know what crack cocaine is? How it’s created or ingested? It’s important that you do know before you use it. Just a suggestion

As I say, I'm an non user that dabbles on very rare occasions. I was just doing research about coke in general when this came upon me and things started to click. That bag was unlike any other coke I've done.. we were absolutely buzzing, blurred vision, eyes huge. Never experienced that from even super quality stuff I acetone washed myself. Based on user reports of crack cocaine, the effects we experienced line up with it. Am I missing something? I'm all ears. The pupils especially are what confirms it mostly for me.. my eyes dont get that big on regular coke, and I've never seen my friends pupils that big before this bag either.

It was also more dry and powdery than most coke. Still 'chunks' that had to be crushed but zero 'grease/oil' factor and more crumbly.
 
I always thought you couldnt snort crack? I guess the drip might get you high when it hits your stomach i dont know. I usually shot my coke i rarely even bothered with crack
