I've done LSD, Coke, Extacy, Meth, various pills (Valium, Vikes, etc..)
I wouldn't recommend any of them honestly. I'm not going to lay down scare tactics but I will advise that I really didn't like coke but it still took work to stop wanting it.
I moved away from my regular supply when I was teen. In my new town connections were difficult and almost everything was really low grade. I started sprinkling coke on my weed beacuse the weed I was getting was so low that it gave almost no high. The low grade coke made it a little better although IMO coke burns really nasty and tastes horrible.
I got this 'speedy stone' effect that wasn't all that great but I really REALLY craved coke after wards. For about 6 months I wouldn't smoke anything that didn't have some coke laced in it. The worse part is I was single and coke made me REALLY horny and I never seemed to be around women when I'd smoked up. I started working for an old rural hippy grower to get my bud and I finally was getting dank again. To kick the 'crave' for coke I basically smoked weed all day every day for several months, when I finally hit sober again I didn't want anything at all. I'd gotten so high for so long that I lost interest in all of it.
I was smoking at least a 1/4 a day if not more to stay high and not crave coke. Thankfully I 'worked' for my weed instead of buying it or I would have been poor as could be.
I don't recommend coke, it's rarely fun, make weed anxiety look like a warm comfortable arms, and is stupidly expensive for even mid grade snow and it can be stomped on with all sorts of strange crap you don't want to put in your body.
Think of the old days (if you can) when Hash was most commonly extracted with nail polish remover because it's faster and easier than with a bubble bags, that's the thinking that usually goes into cutting coke. Its' stupid rare to get pure flake unless you know someone who's in transportation. Dealers almost never get pure flake, they might get as good as 70 - 80% pure and that's going to be the best, 90+% you'll probably never see.
Crack ... Is NOT cocaine, it's MADE from cocaine but the end product is not the same chemical. I can't say this enough NEVER touch crack. I didn't because I watched my friends go from normal people to monsters while on that stuff. Three died (2 from OD) and one recovered for a while but relapsed in about 6 months.
I personally think that cocaine is a bad idea no matter what the form. I've been there, done that, and spent WAY too much money on it. The process of creating cocaine from the cocoa leaves is intense and not always 'quality' assured. The shipping can be questionable and then there's the 'cuts' that people in transportation, distribution, and finally the dealers make to increase their profits.
Yes you can taste some of the bad stuff with a tiny sample, but only some of it, it could have been 'volume increased' with anything from baking powder to any other whitish powder.
Pure coke will have a yellowish 'sheen' to it and flake off of a brick, stomped will come in more of a powder form and be closer to white. I've never seen pure coke sold retail, hell I've only seen a pure brick once.
IMO buying powdered coke is like buying pre-ground weed. I personally won't by any weed that's not in 'bud' form. I've had guys try to sell me 'blends' they claim they made of two strains or more. I don't trust them. If I want to mix my weeds up I do it myself.
The bottom line is that weed, 99% of the time is mostly just off the plant. In the US the worse a dealer may do is spray some sugar water on it to increase the weight before sale. I think weed has gotten better over the years. The stuff I'm getting these days is better than what I was getting in the 90's. The Hydroponic weed, I think, has a better high than dirt grown with things left up to nature.
Coke today primarily comes from Afganistan and still some from Columbia. I don't trust either of those countries to have any desire to insure US coke heads safety. In the early 70's (before my time but heard stories) Coke was almost always low to mid grade and stupid expensive for everyone. By the early 80's quality improved because of various factions fighting for the core business. Then the Miami Wars started and things got really stupid, that was all about who was going to hold the highest market share of the trade complicated with DEA attacks, not the drug itself. By the mid 90's most of the coke comming in again was mid grade or lower.
I've not touched the stuff since 1994 but I can't imagine it's gotten any better. Shrooms, Marijuana, Peyote, all are left generally alone in the production process. Almost everything else requires intervention by man and chemicals to make the drug. I personally stay away from anything that goes through a "process" of manufacturing.
This is all just plain honesty from my experiences. Take it or leave it as you wish. I personally don't think you should even try a bump, just get some really good weed and have fun.
