    I don't really do coke much, but I did about half a gram last night, and I have gone through that much a few times before.

    My question is, am I doing any permanent damage to my heart or anything by doing that much every like few months or so??? I plan to stop soon too.

    Thanks.

    Nah as long as your in good condition now and dont have any current heart problems before the coke then I think you should be fine doing it ever couple months.

    also, please keep in mind that a lot of people who smoke crack think "oh it's just cocaine basically" but it's not. Please, do yourself a favor and stick to powder. Not saying that it's great for your health, but a lot better than crack.


    Oh one more thing, does anyone know what's worse: Snorting a half gram or sprinkling a little bit on dank and smoking it?

    well sir as a experienced former crack smoka nose blaster i'd have to say quit any consumption method while your ahead even if your gonna "stop". myself and plenty of people have said that but continued a while longer. as for whats worse, i would go with smoking any amount of coke cuz i've personally been tripped out by a neighbors panic episode with doing exactly that with just a joint and 1/2 a gram. But that fukker was on RX too, so u never know. bud is your buddy man, i guess its just the want of experience that lures us, but like i said quit while your ahead, peace

    "The major effect of snorting is on cardiac output rather than blood vessel constriction [which is effected through injection] but the end results are the same: cellular changes including damage to heart muscles, coronary arteries, and other blood vessels." got this out of my textbook, Uppers, Downers, All-Arounders Fifth Edition, written by Darryl S. Inaba and William E. Cohen.
    so cocaine does effect the cardiovascular system more than any other since the receptors are right on the the heart and blood vessels.

    i guess the main problem i hear with snorting is making your nose numb and deteriorating the tissue there, especially between your nostrils (i'msure you know what i'm talking about) but you can get that from habitually using nasal sprays too (though i think it takes a lot longer)

    as far as smoking it with marijuana... it has to be at 195C or 383F to convert coke to smoke, and it kills all the effects... so it's pretty much impossible to get high off of smoking cocaine. (this is why they invented freebase and crack.) though i'm sure some damage can still be done to your lungs from it.

    Not good for blood pressure. It's perfectly alright in moderation however - just make sure you exercise: always play lots of tennis! Aristotle himself would approve!

    Thanks guys.. although I feel like I haven't done any permanent damage.. it seems like it is very unwise to continue, so I have decided to stop.

    Sticking to the Drink and some ganja on occasion :p.
