Cocaine When should I start getting worried?

[OpanRanger30]

is levamisole that common? i don't particularly like powder, haven't done it in a while, but plenty of my friends do.

i always thought it was more prominent in europe? that's some scary shit!

^ I bet you 100% of any cocaine your friends have bought has had some (or a lot) of levamisole in it. Like above said, they [South America or Mexico.. or both] - the source - have added levamisole to their product due to the many, many benefits THEY get out of it.

Oh, wow.. Haha, my apologies. Didn't mean to be so sensitive and defensive. Figured it might be your humour.

I wasn't aware that levamisole exacerbated injury, this could be it. I plan to get it checked out soon.

Why, thank you! I love it here, especially in OD. That sounds right up my alley of where I want to be. Many, many thanks. Anything that has been worrying me or that I wanted to know has now been answered. You guys are fantastic.

A heart for both of you.

The truth about cocaine is, if you've used it a few times before, then it's virtually impossible to be sitting around at home with a baggie in your drawer and NOT touch it. I mean it's one thing to go out and purchase a gram because you are craving really hard or something, if you do that during the week then yes... you are likely addicted.

But I mean, it's very VERY hard to not do the blow if you already have it, left over or something.

Any time I've EVER had leftovers I did it the next day lol, or I turn it into a multi day binge.

However, these binge's consists of .25g left overs and 10mg bumps like 5-10 times throughout the day, that literally have no comedown, anxiety, or effect my sleep. But I still do feel the blow from the tiny little bumps... it's just like a small pick me up... weird. And I just love the smell of the blow when I do a little bump....

Anyways, I would just try to not do any coke for at least a month, and then maybe a smaller amount next time, ie no more than a half gram for your self.

pictures of drugs are allowed, but can be very incriminating, so decide wisely. There is 0 chance that anyone can tell you anything about your coke from a picture of it, though.

btw, stay tuned to bluelight and dance-safe since there is a test kit similar to the MDMA one being developed for levamisole in coke.

if you need to stop doing lines, get away from your coke, go out, go to a friends, anything.

Sadly, this will only postpone the usage for a few more hours, I promise it will do it's raindance the moment you get back, and will be right up your nose lol.

If you would really like to stop yourself, go to the washroom, take your baggie, and empty it into the toilet.

I know it's a waste of money, and you might feel like aww dang I coulda done a fat line with that, but you will thank yourself in a week or two or a month or whenever you get your sanity back (joking about the sanity )

edit: or you might be at your toilet in an hour, scraping off any "white goo" stuck on the side of any part of the toilet... jking lol.

That craving feeling you get while you're doing coke isn't necessarily the beginning of an addiction. Cocaine is by nature an extremely "moreish" drug...it's very euphoric but also very short-lasting, which makes your body crave another line as soon as you start coming down, (which with coke doesn't take long at all) and it's hard for you to say no. You've been smart to buy only a gram or two each time; I never buy more than I plan to use at any given time. Me and my buddy went through an 8-ball in a couple hours once...it's powerful shit.

Anyway, you seem like you've been very smart about spacing out your use, which is the key to not getting addicted. Coke can be very mentally addictive, don't get me wrong, but the peculiarity is that coke addictions rarely jump out of nowhere at you like they can with something like heroin. With coke, as long as you can say "I'm not buying any more for X amount of time", you should be fine. Nobody can tell you where your line is because everyone's is different, but as long as you're not starting to crave it, say, five days after your last use, you should be A-OK. Just space out your uses; one or two grams a week is the limit of safe use for most people, I would tend to say. I read a study somewhere, I can't exactly remember, about cocaine users in the Netherlands; over two years, of users who kept their use to under two and a half grams a week, only 5-7% became addicted.

Ummm... terrible advice as far as I'm concerned, if you are using weekly, it is very VERY easy to suddenly be like, well f*ck I want a gram and it's Wednesday, I don't want to wait till friday, *calls up dealer*.

Especially 2 grams a week... Maybe you have been using for a while and have a tolerance but 2000mg is a lot of coke for anyone who isn't "addicted" yet. I would say never more than 1 gram in a week, ever. Although a half gram should be more than enough for someone who has a low tolerance, when I first started a quarter gram would last me a whole night and have me awake till 5-6 in the morning lol.

And use it just one night, not both friday and saturday. Pick which night you have something awesome planned and do it then. And you probably you shouldn't be using every week either way, twice a month is as far as I would recommend anyone trying to not get addicted...

pbuilder, yeah I get what you mean. I definitely can't not do coke if it's left over baggie sitting there. Unless it is not mine and I am holding it or whatever the case may be. I would NEVER be that fiendish to snort even a TINY line of someone else's shit without their permission. Otherwise, yes. Very much so, yes. Fuck you, Cola. You seductive mistress.

I also do what you do. I am a petite person and drugs usually affect me a lot more than others, so needless to say I always don't need much. I just be coastin' with my tiny lines, yee. Same with alcohol and even prescription drugs like tylenol. Cheap date, whattup. I prefer it that way anyway, I also never get a comedown. Lucky us.

One more thing.. Yeeeeees, that smell. Ugh. That goddamn smell.. Orgasmic. I love the euphoria and rush when you just snort it. Okay, Im gonna stop now before I start sounding like a junkie or some shit haha.

I figure I can easily do with a gram a month (If not longer) of no more than .5 every two weeks, which obviously adds up to one gram for that month. For now, though, I am taking a long vacation from the white bitch.

Also, you should probably put all of those posts in one post. No reason not to, makes it neater.

EDIT: Oh! Nevermind. I thought you had three posts. Ha. You are good, bruvv.







EDIT EDIT: I also have just one more question..

The coke I got. At first it was smooth going up my nose.. Now after a while, it's starting to burn. Is it cut with something? Or is my nostril finally becoming injured by the shit I abuse it with line after line?

Im guessing it's the latter seeing as it didn't burn at all in the beginning. After the 13th line, it is a bit less forgiving.

What could it be cut with that is burning my poor nosey, if it is in fact whatever it is cut with that is causing my burn?

I think that when you cross that line, that's when you'll know you have a problem. While I wouldn't define myself as a coke head but more of an overall junky , I could never hold on to someone else's coke without dipping, I've fucked myself up a lot doing shit like that, but I don't know I shoot the crap so it's even more fiendish then. Heroin has always been my main drug of choice but now that I've been off all drugs but suboxone and a small dose of klonopin, I find myskef craving coke and stimulants more than any other drug, the euphoric recall is so strong that when I think about it I get nauseous.

That's just the path everyone takes with cocaine tbh.

I'm like you - always find at least 1 thing I hate about all the substances I use. Except I have a really hard time finding a negative with cocaine.

And again like you, when I buy coke i always share it with my best friend. Its kinda what I do to justify buying it haha. Ever since my first line back in July 2010, everytime things start to get stressful or something I have that creature in the back of my mind screaming I WANT A LINE. I've gone as much as 3 months straight without taking a line, and quite honestly it was stll there almost every day. Dont let that discourage you. I find it a lot easier to say no to coke than any other drug, despite the fact it is by far my favourite.

As long as you are able to control yourself, and your not busting your bank to get it, i wouldnt be too worried. You need to find what works for you. What works for me is a written out budgeting plan. When my paychecks come in the money is spent on a priority basis. Savings account first, then insurance+other bills paid, then I set money aside for marijuana (need it medicinally), then I set my money aside for enuf cigrits to last me 2 weeks. If I have anything left after all is said and done, I usually buy a 15 case of beer, and whatever money I may have left I put 50% of it into my savings (yes you read savings twice, i find saving money extremely important and you should too!), and whatever is left in that I treat myself with cocaine. Sometimes its only enough for a half bag, sometimes a bag and a half, and on the rare occasion a full 8 ball (oh hot damn). Sometimes there is $0 left for cocaine, and thats when the self control plays in.

When I'm having a really hard time coping with the cravings I take some Vyvanse/Dexadrine/Adderall. The stimulation keeps my mind off the cocaine, although for the sake of HR I can't reccomend you use other stimulant drugs to coax the cravings away. (yes I realize this post is probably a huge jumbled up mess and all over the place, im tired and in pain right now)

Oh I can assure you... I have DEFINITELY had coke comedowns... what I meant was when I'm doing the tiniest little bumps off a key during the day I don't experience a come down from that. After a night of drinking and doing 50-100mg lines of blow throughout the night though I will suddenly get severe anxiety + panic attack (usually about 6-8 hours after my first line, but I get it sooner if the night is about to end early and friends are going home because I panic thinking I'm gonna have to go home now and the fun is ending), making me feel like doing nothing at all, yet you can't sleep. I guess I'd describe it as not feelign comfortable in your own skin. Anyways...

All coke is cut, it's really just a matter of whether you get lucky and get coke cut with something non-medical that won't really do damage like flour or something, or if you get it cut with crap like that levismole. If you'd prefer a free of cut coke, I'd go ahead and search up the acetone wash or ethanol filter techniques.

Personally... I don't have the patients to ever do this with my stuff though...

^haha, I know I would always think that when I read about doing acetone washes to purify coke. I mean that's great and all but the second I get my hand on coke, safety is the last thing in my head. It's into the spoon, up the syringe and into the blood stream....and then I got a fucking awful staff infection which was painfully as fuck, the doctors actually had to shoot me up with morphine and dilaudid to ease the pain of that experience, and I hope I don't ever go through that again!

Luckily my ROA is still just insufflation, so cut coke is a bit less of a worry to me, then to an IV user.

Personally, I don't think I'd want to acetone wash it anyways I know it sounds dumb but, I love big lines and losing half my cokes mass even if I get high with half as much just sounds like it wouldn't be as fun!

"When should I start to worry" ?
After you read post # 11

 

[rocketqueen]

When I realized there was a problem? Well, I was high a lot so not much was getting through to me. I would say a couple of things alerted me that there might be a problem. Here are a couple to watch out for. Friday becomes Thursday and Monday becomes Tuesday. You are homeless. You spent money you needed for rent to get high. You are in jail/prison. Anyone that does not use will not be around you, and you do not much want to be around them except to hustle 'em for cash. You end up in a psychiatric facility or a hospital from either an overdose or a suicide attempt. The crash from coke becomes so horrific and intolerable that you will do other drugs to avoid the crash. A guy falls out at your house while doing coke and is taken off life support 12 hours later because he is brain dead. His family wants you to explain to them what happened. You slept with that scummy dealer because he had good coke. You tried to control your use so many times but were unsuccessful. Your people and your family are telling you there might be a problem but you don't listen because you know what you are doing and it is your life. The only problem I had was people on my back about my drug use. THAT was the problem, not anything I was doing. Right.
You really know the true meaning of wishing you were dead when you look back on your life and tally up the cost of your addiction.
Hopefully, friend, if you go on to have a problem with cocaine you will not need for things to get this dramatic for you to realize there might be a problem. I can speak only for myself and what it took for me. But keep in mind the hallmark of addiction is denial.
Cocaine, oh yeah, she is a real special girl. She got me on my knees then had me on my back with her foot on my neck, and I never even saw her coming. She won.

Best of luck to you.

You could always re-cut it yourself?
