Title: Best Practices for Insufflation of Powdered Cocaine?
Post by: CrankedTo11 on February 12, 2012, 06:18 am
Hey all,

I just ordered my first gram from Hybridmike and I'm fucking fired up to try his goods. I've dabbled with blow over the years, but having bought through various middlemen in the past, I was never entirely sure what the fuck was actually in what I purchased -- to be honest, I doubt that I've even truly experienced a good coke high. Having read up on the drug trade and how much the shit that hits the streets is stomped on, I'm wondering if the "coke" I've snorted is mostly speed cut with a *caine analog to produce numbing effects. One of the things I dig about SR is a kind of "FDA-like" labeling so you know exactly what you're getting quality and content wise.

I've purchased good chunks with little powder, but I discovered that re-rocking runs rampant, so chunks may not in and of themselves denote purity. Depending on the bag, sometimes I feel a nice euphoria. Sometimes I feel jittery for 10 or 15 minutes followed by a terminal crash which no amount of bumping can compensate for. Sometimes it goes smoothly up the snout. Sometimes it feels like I inhaled cayenne pepper. Some products have a good drip. Some have none. Unsure whether or not this depends on cutting agents or physiological state.

Tons of discussions about how to gauge purity, how to wash it with acetone, what the cartels use to add bulk, etc. so I'm not going to rehash those.

Having finally scored a gram of quality blow, what's the best way to prepare and snort? To date, I've taken the cliche mirror and razorblade to chop into a fine powder, followed by a hard sniff in one nostril while pinching the other shut. It seems to hit most of the back of my throat and doesn't make its way into the sinus cavities where it has a better chance of crossing the blood/brain barrier. Lots of drip. Face numb. Little euphoric effects. Could be the product. Could be my technique is completely wrong.

For all the cocaine connoisseurs, what are the best practices for maximizing high with minimal product, i.e. not wasting it by blasting the back of your throat. Is a spice grinder better than the traditional razor blade chop? Should one take snort blasts along a line instead of inhaling the entire thing? Pushing your tongue up to the top of your mouth and making a grunting, piggy-like sound so the powder lands for maximum uptake? Is it possible to snort too hard or too soft? Maybe a middle ground is ideal?

If you have any advice or wisdom to share, please pass it along!

you're putting way, waaaay too much though into snorting coke. nonetheless, I shall share my coke ritual

chop it up the best you can with a sharp razor blade. more powder the better - conserves it more efficiently. preferably on a glass surface. mirrors work just fine. but any surface will really do. as long as it's not a rug. roll up some sort of bill. or take apart a pen. or a straw - really, whatever you prefer. blow your nose. especially the side you plan on using. put your sniffing tool in your nostril - maybe like half of an inch. whatever feels comfortable. you don't need to jam it up there. take a breath and slowly release the air through your mouth; making sure to not blow your prepared coke away. as soon as your done exhaling, lower your head, and cover your opposite nostril and fucking bump that shit. speed and pressure is entirely up to you. as soon as the line if completed, put down your sniffing tool, tilt your head back, cover the opposite nostril with your finger again; and give yourself one more good solid sniff to make sure most of the line you just consumed does not sprinkle back out. next, enjoy the coke.

repeat when needed.

it's not necessary, but sometimes I would bump a tiny bit of water afterwards just to get the flow of the coke really moving - especially if I had a stuffy nose to begin with. just helps the overall flow of things. to end it all, I smoke a cigarette dipped in blow directly afterwards.

congratulations! you are now done! you have officially and effectively ingested cocaine!  8) 8) 8)

I would suggest the use of sterile saline solution spray for rinsing the nasal membranes, which will also help prevent some damage. Plus I feel like I might dissolve some extra and get a little bit higher.

I would advise against applying tap water to the nasal cavities, due to the risk of infection by an amoeba. Acanthamoeba can live in the water from faucets and cross into the brain from the nose producing a lethal infection that is difficult to treat given the cells are eukaryotic and much more similar than prokaryotes.

Habitat,

You're probably right about over-thinking it -- of course, I also have "crash kit" of sorts lying around the house in case shit goes south. ;-)

I just followed your advice (save for the cigarette) and it's right on, bro! Clean the pathway and blast that fucking line with swagger! Thanks for the tips.

I've discovered the aside from the high, the thing I like about coke (and any other drugs) is the ritual that goes with it. The click of the razor while you chop. Artfully arranging the geometry of the lines. Behavior that makes you part of a larger tribe. Maybe that, too, is reading too much into it.

Does the cigarette bit actually work? I'll have to try it if it does.

Thanks again, dude! You're the man.

^Fucking DAMN this post makes me want to do some blow.  The ritual of breaking it down, lining it up, and snorting it was always half the enjoyment for me.  I guess that's pretty common, though?

This, yes!  I should have read the whole thread. >.<  I am the same way.  The whole process is relaxing to me.  And plus I just love snorting shit, as odd as that might sound.

And yeah, smoking coke on the tip of a cigarette (or anywhere, really) will give you a little (or big) rush.

Bro
I was so intrigued by this suggestion, I had to give it a whirl! All I can say mate is You Wanker!  :'( you have Single handily fucked me over! Man I really hope I did it wrong (like really how the fuck could you do it wrong lol) my mouth is dry as fuck and NOTHING is relieving it! I have NO taste man, I mean what the fuck!

Man give me some hope and tell me your pissing yourself laughing, or are you that psychotic and you fucked your mouth up a long time ago? Tell me someone fucked you over and you were just getting your own back and now you feel so much better there is another human being on earth that was that stupid.

Tell me you love it and you really get a secondary rush, and I am afraid I need to hunt you down and kill you. For no person who walks this earth should be that much of a freak hahaha!

Like I said mate this was some fucked up shit, but as a student of life I learnt a valuable lesson. When something seems really interesting, you are far better slicing pieces of your nob off than ever having to endure the humiliation ( I shared this idea with a hottie girl, who now will NEVER even consider letting me lick her smelly arse, let alone giving me a blow job she is famous for) and shear fucked up no taste dried up struggling to swallow mouth!

So MR Habitat I sincerely hope you are feeling (and picturing to some extent) my pain and from now till eternity every time you go to sleep with a female, your nob shrinks to such a small size and goes inside of you so every person that  gets to see your abnormality, believes you are not a man, but rather a bitch!

And lastly a quote from Romeo and Juliet, "A plague upon your house!"

I like this topic   ;D

I'm surprised I haven't seen this info I'm about to give elsewhere on the forum.  it's by no means a secret, it's widely used.  But I only see here people talking about using razor blades to cut up coke.  Ugh, what a waste.

Here's my Cocaine Handling and Usage Best Practices.  AKA, How not to waste good coke.

When I am home after my successful, albeit stressful, cocaine procurement (When buying it on the street and I'm transporting it in my car, I like to blast "they try to catch me ridin' dirty" to add to the fear rush factor.  Especially fun when a cop is on your ass, but I digress...) and I'm not going to do it right away, I make sure it is dry as possible.   Please take note of this Pro Tip, as it's key to making your precious coke last as long possible:

Pro Tip No. 1:  MAKE SURE YOUR COKE IS DRY AS POSSIBLE.

If it's damp, I first dry it out under a heat lamp.  I keep it under the lamp until its dry.  I only determine this visually.  That is, I can stir it around and it's not sticky, but it's all nice and loose, even if it's big chunks.  You could go spend about a hundred bucks and get a humidity meter with a probe, but fuck that.

Now that your coke is dry, you need to keep it that way.  Coke seems to me to be somewhat hygroscopic, not sure if pure cocaine is, but the shit I usually end up with is.

Get a bag that will hold all your coke, and then some.  I always throw in a bag of desiccant or five straight into the bag of coke.  Coke may be hygroscopic, but desiccant is more so.  It will keep your coke nice and dry for a long time (longer that you'll be holding your coke I'm sure).

Here's a picture of a typical desiccant packet:
http://xfq5l5p4g3eyrct7.onion/view.php?image=81f97495d069934cda7f210c212c98df.jpg

I then store whatever coke I'm not going to use into an airtight container.  Also in the container is more desiccant (the big metal bar types, you'll see them online).

I can't emphasize enough that, THE DRYER THE COKE THE BETTER, and the longer it will last!

This brings us to the next Pro Tip:
Pro Tip No. 2:  STRAIN YOUR COKE PROPERLY

Using a razor blade to cut up your coke is ok if you have the right kind of coke to begin with (dry, fluffy, and powdery), but how often does that happen?  Almost never for me.  Therefore using a razor blade to cut chunks into lines is a great way to WASTE A SHIT LOAD OF PRECIOUS COCAINE.

You want the greatest possible amount of surface area of coke to go up your nose and hit your membranes, and absorb into your body.  Think of this extreme example:  take a chunk of coke and shove it up your nose.  The only part touching your membranes is the outer surface area of the chunk.  Everything inside that chunk is essentially wasted.  Yes I know the rest will eventually dissolve, but that's not how coke is taken for greatest effect.  You want the maximum surface area to hit your membranes in the shortest amount of time. 

You achieve this by straining properly.

Get yourself a good quality food strainer.  I have 3, all with varying mesh sizes. 
Something like this: http://xfq5l5p4g3eyrct7.onion/view.php?image=b645653e359fc8fabc33617f4c30f922.jpg
Ideally, you will always use a very fine mesh strainer.  This will break down the rocks of coke into a very fine, fluffy powder, thus producing the greatest surface area of coke available to insuflate. 

I have 3 mesh sizes because if I do end up with damp coke and don't want to fuck with drying it, but get right down to business, I do use the bigger mesh size for straining.  Straining damp coke through a fine mesh gives you gum, but you can manage to strain it through a larger mesh strainer.  This is still better than the razor blade.  For really wet coke, your pretty much fucked and should just do what I do and throw it on your friends pussy and snort it from there, and slap some on your cock and slap her face with it, but I digress...

Straining dry coke through a fine mesh gives you a shitpile of coke.  I can literally see my coke supply doubling in size as the pretty powder comes through the bottom of the strainer, guess what, it's like snow.

I dump some DRY coke into the strainer and use the bottom of a rounded edge spoon and just go back and forth with the spoon while lightly pressing down on the coke, and watch the snow fall.  Nothing like straining a couple 8 balls and seeing that huge pile of coke waiting for the party to start.

I used to always use a plate but one time I decided to buy a teflon coated pan that comes with a tight fitting lid, and that works great!!  I keep my coke covered (with desiccant in the pan) while not in use.  It works awesome, everyone loves it!  Your coke will last much longer!

Not a fan of dollar bills unless in a bind.  I just cut up a plastic straw, or use a small spoon.

There are also grinding devices made for this purpose.  You unscrew the top, put your DRY coke in, and crank the handle and watch the snow fall out.  They even have threads on the bottom that the small plastic vials can screw into for coke-on-the-go.  I had one years ago, but it fell apart and haven't since bought a new one.

Cheers!

Great tips

Bridgehead - you are correct, pure cocaine is incredibly hydroscopic. I don't think its possible to get it much higher than 80% or so without it going to paste.

Drying it is a bitch! Requires so much patience!

OP: I reckon if its going straight to the back of your throat you could try snorting it with less pressure. I usually just take a normal deep breath in, rarely get much of a drip at all doing small lines....all seems to stay in my nose. This gives me great effects. I also hate having a numb throat...feels weird heh.

You can go over 80% if you do a really intense HCL solution but it turns into hard little rocks then.

I've never tried the glass straw.  Don't think I will because that's more "contraband" lying around.  After a session, everything goes in the dishwasher and the rest thrown away (straws, bags).  My house stays clean as a whistle, in that respect. 

If my house got raided and they saw a glass straw, well it may motivate them to dig deeper as that would look suspicious (to a knowledgeable cop).  Then they may even find the real stuff, which I keep hidden extremely well.
