Have taken a long break quite a few times in the last few years (ranging from 1 month - 6 months) but tolerance will not go down for some reason. Always get it from the same person. It's really good coke, everyone I give it to is flying. Really pearly, smells lovely, always the same stuff. Used to make me buzzzzz. No matter how long I have a break for ( 1 month , 3, 6 ) it just won't go down :( what's the problem?
 
It's not cocaine.

Cocaine sometimes creates a reverse tolerance over time.

This is not all the time. But you are just representing normal tolerance.
 
Its just a symptom of your addiction but here's a few tips I've heard of that may help. Buy yourself a nice glass pipe with a Carburetor. Make sure you have new Brillo (not the cheap stuff) always when you first start up for the day. Melt your Rock Completely and blow out the smoke from the initial cracking sound, before taking your first big burly. Your goal is to get some nice white smoke. Inhale till you cant inhale anymore then hold it as long as your heart can stand. I wouldnt put more than a 7 to 10 dollar rock in at a time. I have also heard that if you introduce some citric acid before smoking it is more intense. Orange or Pink Grapefruit Juice. Oh man wish I had me some right now. Good Luck!
 
Sorry but suggesting crack cocaine as a solution to cocaine tolerance is an idiotic suggestion and in no way harm reduction.
I don't know the OP's history of drug use or how often they're using cocaine but you're basically suggesting that someone who is most likely a recreational user switch to a much more addictive version of a drug that they are already crossing the line between use and abuse with (tolerance is a symptom). Crack cocaine produces much stronger cravings than cocaine as well as the compulsion to redose.

OP, crack has a much shorter duration of effects than cocaine even though it's more intense. In my experience, that makes it unsatisfying and it's all to easy to end up on a binge because you're chasing the high. Not to mention the dreaded crack comedown that you don't have to endure with cocaine. I'm an IV user (which I in no way advocate btw... I wish I had never started but I feel the ROA is relevant) and I've tried both cocaine and crack, though the crack wasn't by choice... I was out of coke and my opiate tolerance is so high I can't feel heroin unless I speedball. The cocaine lasts longer and gives a great body high without the even higher risk of addiction associated with crack use. Cocaine doesn't make me feel like I'm on a 5 day juice cleanse by any means but in comparison I always feel like crack is really hard on my heart and lungs. The high is like getting kicked in the ribs for me but it feels good.

Is the supposedly good cocaine the only cocaine you've done and have access too? I would try and get your hands on cocaine from a different dealer. You never know, maybe the cocaine you're getting just isn't that good or your dealer has started to cut it resulting in a weaker high. I would just rule that out. I've never known anyone to develop such a huge tolerance to cocaine that massive amounts didn't have an affect... Interesting. Unfortunately the only proven method for tolerance is extended periods of abstinence but I'd be interested to see if anyone else has a method to decrease cocaine tolerance. The way some opiate users take DXM.
 
I don't have any interest in crack cocaine.
I don't do it often, once every few weeks on a night out. Sometimes don't do it for a month or two. So on and off for a few years. I've tried coke from different dealers and I get absolutely no effect. I've noticed my tolerance goes up real quick with any drug. Even paracetamol :/
 
Good. Just one more thing you don't have to worry about and it will definitely make it easier to keep your use recreational. Though tolerance can be a sign of abuse and if you're feeling the need to dose and dose because you're chasing your previous high I would definitely take an honest look at that.

What's the longest period of time you've been abstinent from cocaine?
 
Strange i never noticed an increase in tolerance with cocain usage. And i have injected it day after day all day. I cant imagine snorting some lines every few weeks on a night out ramp up your tolerance at all. This leads me to question the purity of your cocaine. Boil some with ammonia solution and see how much base you have after that. Good coke should leave you with 80-90% base.

Click to expand...

Longest has been 6 months. After that break I had one line and it hit me a little not a lot. I really don't abuse it, I can't afford to anyway even if I wanted to lol.
 
Your tolerance isn't going down at all or just not as much as you'd like it too..?

Tolerance is an odd thing... many people report that it never drops completely to zero, even after long breaks, and that even just a day or two of use is enough to shoot it back up to what it was in the peak of your addiction.

But, to have it not go down at all in 6 months? That doesn't make much sense.
 
It's possible your cocaine is cut. Very hard to judge purity by look alone.

Also, if you use other stimulant drugs (amphetamines, cathinones, methylphenidate), they will cause cross-tolerance with cocaine.

Otherwise you may have to accept the fact that you just don't enjoy stimulants. Some people find that after using cocaine or other stims for a short while, the magic dries up and it isn't fun any more.
 
Even after 60 days clean i went back to doing speedballs and used the same exact amount of coke except maybe the 1st 5 shots...
