If you only took a bit what would the effects be on the comedown? Like if I bought a gram and smoked enough for an hour or so?

From coke I know the comedown, apart from paranoia which could be got rid of with booze/weed, there wasn't any except the cokenose. I don't remember any depression or anyhting like that just maybe tired if I didn't sleep, but I often did even after seshing into 3-4 am.

I tried crack once only two ten pound rocks between me and a friend. I didn't feel hardly anything and just went to sleep like 15 mins after taking it. I can't say if this is characteristic of a usual crack session as I only took it once and a tiny bit.

So what is to be expected?
 
It'll leave you jonesy as fuck for half hour. Maybe a headAche. I find it pretty forgving considering, well, it's crack
 
My main concern would be to lose my sense of judgment if I had a dealer just a phone call away whilst in the throes of 'jonesin' as you yanks like to call it.

Thing is I'm pretty good at keeping a handle on feindishness usually but I dunno about with this one.

I found with mephedrone it was like that in that when it was legal I almost bought like an ounce or two cos the ban was about to come in and slapped myself when I came down a few minutes later thinking 'how could I be so stupid'.

If it's like that I would want to stay away.

Is it like they say once you tried it once NOTHING EVER IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WILL EVER SEEM THE SAME AGAIN AND YOU WILL ALWAYS THINK OF CRACK EVERY MOMENT TILL YOU DIE or are they exaggerating there? Well I already tried it once and it was 'meh' but I didn't rally get a good hit that time so hard to say from that one exp.

My friend used to deal it and he told me he'd take a few hits and then put it down and smoke weed as he said 'I have too many responsibilities to get caught in that shit'. So he seemed to keep a handle on it pretty easy, so that would show it is at least possible, though from the statistics he seems to be in the minority. I'm interested in whether it is the people who already have problems that turns them into fiends and whether someone who is already self assured/have their life together it would not be an issue (I know some people HAD their lives together on the surface then screwed it up from crack but still they might have had the same latent mental issues which would make them susceptible).
 
Are you joking? Why would you take offense to that? I was not aware it was a derogatory term even if I did make a geographical error.

its just like the opposite of the high. cranky agitated sleepy headache. somewhat like a hangover.
 
Maybe he's on a crack comedown as we speak.

Hmm so if you've tried it, is the urge to buy more controllable if you really resolve not to?

I have little money atm and could prob buy a gram of coke if I wanted but I am just concerned whether after buying a gram I would immediately want to eat into the little savings I have or if it can be tamed by the power of rationality.

I was thinking, if I liked it, to save it for a treat at times when I'm well off. Is this a realistic goal if you have everything else in your life pretty together?
 
I've always heard on these boards (I hate coke, so obviously I've never done crack) to buy in smaller amounts simply because you're gunna do ALL of it that night/day; Then really want more.
Just curious, are you wanting to do crack because you wanna try everything out there at least once, or is it because you enjoy the coke high you wanna experiment?
 
The second one.

the coke high (and relatively small comedown) has been my favourite and I would do coke again except I hate snorting but I smoked a different chemical recently and really liked that ROA so am interested in trying it for coke.
 
if you have the $ and dont mind losing it have at it. otherwise stick to getting a good buzz off alcohol going and then snorting the coke. one of the best combos if the cocaine is not stepped on to badly.
 
crack come down succks balls man. itll make you jones like a bitch. its totally not worth it in my opinion unless its going with some h along with it. then the cravings arnt bad.
 
It sucks. You will be chasing it all night long. Not worth it, and it will turn your brain to mush. Plus you will go through alot of money.
 
Alot of the time, crack makes me tired and crash out. Ive never done an all nighter with crack..

Ironically ive gone way more over board with powder, than with rock. It seems like rock is so much easier to come off of than powder. Rock for me takes 20 minutes to come off of, whereas with powder it would be at least 2 hours before i could sleep.
 
I believe its not any more addictive than good powder, because the high is relatively short.

And the urge is very controllable. Like i said, i have never pulled an all nighter. I always get a good nights sleep after rocking out. This is ironic because i have stayed up for almost a week on a powder sniffing bender. And tbh, if i could get pure cocaine, i would rather insufflate it than smoke it in rock form. Because the buzz is still very strong, and it lasts about 15 times longer than a blast.

But imo, coke in america isnt potent enough to toot. Hence, rock. But south american coke.... sniff8ng a little pile of very high quality sa coke is by far the best high i have ever had in my life. Thats saying a lot about how good that costa rican blow is.
 
Lol I can sense the nostalgia in your words :).

Well that is quite good to hear your experience of smoking then.

I'll likely give it a go with this knowledge once the opportunity arises, though I don't think I'll chase it down.

I wanna smoke it cos I hate the sinus damage it does any many others reasons I dislike about that ROA.

I also really enjoyed smoking mpa recently.

If I only doing it now and then will I get any negative effects from smoking it? Like it'd only be the odd occasion I did it.

My lungs felt fine after smoking MPA like I hadn't had anything whereas if snorting coke I'd know I had for maybe several weeks esp. if it made my nose bleed. Argh the crappyness of that ROA is coming back to me now. I remember blowing all kind of huge chunks (red and bright orange) from my nose for weeks and weeks after snorting. >_<
 
If you've felt paranoia from snorting coke - you will feel 50 times more paranoia with crack. The comedown after you've been smoking for a couple hours (which you will if you have another hit sitting right in front of you) is so awful you are very likely to make a call and rationalize spending more on crack.

I really don't recommend it. If you are set on smoking a stim, stick with speed. And that's saying a lot considering how evil and nasty on your brain/body speed is. But seriously - skip the crack.

Ugh... the comedown from crack is just vicious and evil. I might be tempted to do crack again if it weren't for all those horrible comedowns where I couldn't drink enough fast enough to knock myself out. (And yes, I spent a few months one summer smoking pretty much every weekend. Biggest waste of time and money in my drug taking career/hobby - and I've been in it for 14+ years...)
