    Having had oodles of bad to mediocre coke in my days and then having 90+% pure (tested myself) I honestly think this graph is misleading, and coke is waaaaay higher.

    The problem is, meth dumps your serotonin and feels good by itself, while coke requires you to be doing something that dumps your sweet brain chems to really feel good-good. I don’t know the science behind it but it’s been explained to me. Doing coke and sitting around watching a show is meh. Doing blow and playing a stimulating video game or doing a project that feels good or talking your partner’s ear off (and they yours in return) about ridiculous shit feels incredible.

    But yeah. If you need to do a couple lines of coke to really feel it, it’s not good. If you’re getting zooted off a couple bumps, that’s the good stuff.

        Hahaha I had done it a few times during my rave phase but I was almost always disappointed. Like, you gotta do so much of it that it clogs your nose and it goes away so quickly! Then randomly an acquaintance of mine maaaany years later told me they dabbled (understatement) and I learned that almost all coke is complete garbage. A couple bumps had me zooted for like an hour. Remember kids, if it’s already a powder when it comes to you, it’s been stepped on. If you’re getting a shiny chunk that’s almost gummy-feeling, you’re in for a treat.

            It’s not even as expensive as people say it is. If it’s not shitty, ya don’t go through a ball in a night! My partner and I still occasionally dabble, and we maybe go through .1-.2 each for a couple hours of zoot.

            The test kits are really cool, too. You break a glass ampule and shovel in a tiiiiny bit in. The shade of dark the chemicals turn tells you the purity. I’ve seen it turn a sludgy light-brown watery poo color a long time ago… and I’ve seen it turn black since then.

              Once I found a good supply a ball would last over a week (unless I had some leaches). Before that i occasionally got stuff that did absolutely nothing.

              Before the good supply I went home early one night without partying. Friends bought some stuff with fent in it. One friend ended up in the ER. They used paddles to get his heart started again.

              Glad to say I no longer indulge.

                Jesus! I’m so sorry your friend went through that, that’s awful! I’m very thankful for test strips now… it’s terrifying that something so opposite can just find its way into blow.

                I’m glad you’re safe, and I hope your friend is okay now.

                Good on you for no longer fuckin with it. My partner and I drink too much but otherwise are mainly sober from substances—we just have some random special days every couple months where we do something fancy and fun.
