crack attack

[george123]

A couple of weeks ago, I went down to the Tenderloin to buy some 80mg OC's. After I was finished, I thought hey why not get just one solid of crack, for old times sake. In the back of my mind I knew that was going to be a modest expectation, but I went ahead and got the crack anyways. Four hours and $200 dollars later I staggered out of a cracked out hotel room filled with crackheads. Now, since then I have these feelings of nervousness, and I can't sit still comforably. I smoked alot of crack before, but never had this reaction. I am also taking 40mg of Prozac and 20mg of Ambilify.

[Matty Fats 420]

dont smoke crack anymore! =]

[HistoryofMadness]

I would take one more day at least, maybe 2, because sometimes that psychosis from crack sticks around. In fact, can you take more of your ambilify? I don't suggest much more, but it could very well counteract these effects. Maybe you could break 2 into halfs, and then eat 1/4 at morning, same at afternoon, same at night, and then the next day take your regular amount plus the extra 1/4.

You should also get around 10 hours of sleep if you can.

And finally, if you can take a day off of the prozac (or go to your doc tell them it makes you feel weird) and get on wellbutrin that might help what you are talking about.

Sleep and some extra ambilify. That's all I can say, except do somemore dope and take a break from the clickity-clack.

[shaunclo]

take a break from the clickity-clack.

Clickety-clack.......fuck that crack!

C'mon, all together now........(singing)......clickety-clack.....mother fuck that crack

[george123]

Yea, I think I'm going to take an extra Ambilify and take the day off the Prozac. By the way the price of Ambilify is pretty ridiculus, without insurance it's like $15 per pill, but I got an Indian pharmacy to ship it for like 1/10th of the price.

Swim wouldn't take a extra ablilify cause when swim was on it, it made me shake, puke, and make me grind swims teeth.......it was some nasty stuff swim thought!!!!!:(

Yeah, I gotta agree with Shaun... crack is whack. If you must smoke that shite though why not save some benzos or something for the crash? I mean, you know it's gonna hit you like 15 - 20 min. after you stop sucking on that glass rose... it's inevitable, you might as well prepare for the storm if you have an advanced forcast.

[george123]

Yes, you're right, crack is wack, I don't plan on using it again

[psilocybin]

that's what they all say

[chemboy7]

I went searching for that "crack is whack" pic and I couldn't find it (I can't remember the artist name... you know that guy that spray painted his work on walls). I did come acrossed this though; this is even better... it's a crack is whack commercial from '87.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNU__ODuVeI

Funny as hell man. The first time I watched that I thought that guy was Richard Prior trying to rap about crack. Look's a hell of alot like him, and he would definately be the one to see on TV talking about rocks.

[opiobsessed]

All I know is one thing, opiates are the only miracle drug I finally found after tons of trying different meds and opiates are the mainstay in my body for life. Now on the subject of that crack crap, after being ripped off at a crack house trying to get H, it turned out they didn't have any real H at all, all they wanted was to smoke crack, the guy I went with was standing there within minutes after smoking his crack and he was rocking side to side standing up, so nervous acting it made me say no I"m sorry I am not a crack person. I just like being relaxed, calm and cozy and warm. The guy finally started chugging down beer, for some reason I guess some crackheads get relief from the crash with beer or some alcohol I guess. Oh well at least that night I saw in person a drug being used that I would not dare want in my body. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would want to do coke or crack and get so wound up crazy like that.

you're right! actually, he looks more like richard pryor and say, maybe.... lionel richie ~ had a love child....what?!
ew....:D

[superman]

"I can't for the life of me understand why someone would want to do coke or crack and get so wound up crazy like that."

Let me tell you how :) take some coke, some meth, and some oxy, toss em in a spoon, cook it up and slam that shit. i guarentee that you'll do it again.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to promote such a thing because a certain number of people who start slamming these things aren't going to stop. but they all feel fantastic IMO except crack makes me kind of anxious when i take it without opiods.

[exitwound]

fuck crack, fuck stims, fuck cocaine, fuck the Tenderloin!

you gotta take better care of yourself than that, man! Not only is the Tenderloin some damn dangerous territory (I have heard all the horror stories and then some, big time!) but dopamine-stims just tear your life apart, ruin your health, screw up your mind, throw you off the tracks and into the dark jungle of burnout monsters and comedown demons.

Normally I'm not judgemental about any "drug" usage, but honestly I think that people need to realize that as a very experienced and open-minded person, this is how I STRONGLY feel on that issue. Just about anything can be justified under some circumstances and with a responsible person's well-foundationed perspective but coke/crack and stims will just plain fuck you up; they will take and take and never give you anything back......

[Coddfish]

good picture, right on.

[Set]

To much speedballing will eventually get you...Mixing crack with opiates may feel good to start but you will eventually hit the ceiling and crash...:(

Take it from somebody who knows....mixing blow coke and OC was a fav of mine until I almost drove myself "static"....Ice will do it quicker, but it'll git ya too!

When you quit breathing then you know you are in trouble...:eek:

[Coddfish]

back from the dead. you make my point well, set

this is a new one for me...

TENDERLOIN?

[devilsdrug]

tenderloin is a neighborhood in sf it has what might be called a questionable nitelife, iv never had any trouble there but i could see where one might

[george123]

Yes, it's always lame to smoke crack and cocaine and speedballs are not too far behind. I think the responses I have gotten here are supportive, mixed with a healthy adversion for the crack. I'm sure most of you read William Burrough's Junky, where he explains (very accurately) how there is no habit to cocaine but an immense craving where, doing a shot will create a need for another shot, then another, until you are all out. That's what happened.

[chemboy7]

Yes, you're right, crack is wack, I don't plan on using it again

You don't have to explain/brush off anything to me man... I mean if you want to smoke crack that's upto you, far be it from me to judge. I didn't mean to sound like I was talking down or 12 stepping you I was just speaking that from my experience and what I have seen it do to others to add some insite... although no matter what anyone says bad about it, if you want to score your gonna go get rocked out; so take it with a grain of salt.

[superman]

coke/crack makes me jones like a mofo if i don't have any opiates, so i do it very rarely. BUT, fuck i sure do love a good speedball ;)

[chemboy7]

Just as I said before, if you know you are going to get rocked out save some benzos and a couple beers, some Opiates... anything CNS depressant really; because you know that your going to crash and who wants to be up all night fiendin' for rocks and surageing through the carpet shag for that piece that "may have fell"... not me brother. The best advice on the crack stuff (IMO is to stay away) but if you must indulge spare yourself the common courtousy to prepare for the storm you know your going to be in.

[superman]

wise words chem, i am not a carpet crawler tho :)
when i do coke i leave nothing to fuck with after i run out.

a great comedown pill if you've been cokin' it: cyclobenzaprine aka flexeril.
a close second IMO is zopiclone.

[Special-K]

I've always had these feelings of nervousness and I can't sit still comforably waiting on the crack, not afterwards. You'll get over it. Believe me, crack is not the monkey that some drugs can be.

[exitwound]

TENDERLOIN?

like DD said....it's the dark heart of the San Francisco peninsula.

That was a hillarouis Comercial!!!Crack Is Whack!

[Set]

Aye, Aye Coddfish...And GOOD to see you as well!:D

Coke is OK for what it is used for, and that is a stimulant...but crack and blow coke destroys your focus on things...you get wired...you get paranoid...you expend energy for no good reason...

What I like about opiates is the fact they give you energy while allowing you to focus on what you are doing...:D

Crack may be Whack...but Whack is embalming fluid formaldehyde on a cigarette for those who have a "death wish" or want to preserve their lungs before death!!:p

[poonwhalla]

ahh boat juice. The funny thing about formaldehyde is that most people think that is PCP aka:dust. That shit will give you cancer but is often misconceved as dust. Its just the cutting agent they used then someone got the bright idea to dip smokes in it. Allright how many of you dipped cigg's in the jar with a pig or bunny in it in high school?j/k

[Zoops]

O.K., I'll weigh in on this topic too, like anyone cares...

Coke, crack, meth, amphetamine, methylphenidate, phenmetrazine, phendimetrazine, phentermine (yuck), sibutramine (yuck), in that order, are waaay bad on the psyche, as far as I am concerned. BUT, I definitely like the high. It's not that it's a habit to it, it's just that these drugs set up a craving that's so intense it blocks out everything else in one's life. That's why I think cocaine and methamphetamine are possibly the ONLY drugs which should remain illegal, or at least prescription only, as they are at the present time (little known fact - cocaine is actually a "prescription only drug, technically, it's a C-II controlled substance - so is meth BTW - but freebase cocaine, sold for human consumption, a.k.a "crack" is a C-I controlled substance, no recognized medical use therefore not legal for any purpose).

The only stimulant that gives me a decent high and DOESN'T give a terrible crash is wellbutrin, (bupropion). I have discovered in the past few months (actually re-discovered) that that shit is fucking great when snorted. And it's NOT a controlled substance either, which is awesome b/c the pharmacist doesn't give you a funny look when you come in early for a refill and (and you can actually get re-fills too, which is not an option with dexedrine and ritalin). The stuff (wellbutrin, that is) should be schedule IV controlled subst. though, judging by its activity and in relation to other controlled substances I've done. It's actually BETTER (bettter buzz) than phentermine, and phentermine is a C-IV drug, so I don't know what the fuck is the deal. I'm not complaining though. I can do about 1/3 to 1/2 of a wellbutrin XL 300mg up the nose and it's fucking awesome. Hardly any crash whatsoever too, for some reason. I think being on heavy dose of buprenorphine helps the comedown immensely. I slammed some (about 100mg as far as I could tell) and it didn't do nothing, so I didn't try it again, I didnt' want to get into anything real nasty, as IV stimulants have been a "problem" for me in the past (about 6 years ago, a really really really bad 2-month IV ritalin binge that landed me in re-hab for a month and got me fired from a good job).

So, dat's my $0.02 werf. I gotta go back the shrink and tell her that I need some more wellbies.

[superman]

talking about stims w/ a "decent high and DOESN'T give a terrible crash"... modafinil is awesome in this dept. Only prob is for me it craps out after a few months, and takes a month to peak on it. I think i'll give wellbutrin a try, maybe if i alternate between it an modafinil i can enjoy the constant stimulation that i love without resorting to anything addictive

as for all those C4s you mention, are any comparably to meth? cuz around here a gram of uncut is worth $80 which is probably cheaper than @ the pharmacy, now i just have to learn how to take only 100mg or so a day and sleep every night

I've been wanting to try the *finil's, particularly modafinil. I've heard they are great for banishing opiate fatigue in chronic pain patients and can even help reduce pain levels in some cases by reducing fatigue.

[Badly Drawn Girl]

The guy finally started chugging down beer, for some reason I guess some crackheads get relief from the crash with beer or some alcohol I guess. Oh well at least that night I saw in person a drug being used that I would not dare want in my body. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would want to do coke or crack and get so wound up crazy like that.

My ex is a crackhead and he actually tried it after being a dealer for years. I have never been able to understand why he would want to try it after dealing with crackheads for years. He has the most outrageous stories about what people would show up with in hopes of trading for some rock.

I'm actually in the process of writing a book on the subject. SWIM is dating a dealer and has met a lot of colorful individuals that smoke regularly. I've always been fascinated by people's hidden lives, especially high functioning drug addicts. I'd like to spend some time shadowing this guy as he does his job and see who would be willing to open up about their love of crack.

Hey, love your tagline BTW, 'girl. I could barely read it b/c it's small, but P.J. O'Rourke is a great mind., and a spiffy dresser to boot.

Butanyways, yeah, crack is BY FAR the most addictive substance out. period. And I'll vouch for the "for some reason beer seems to make the crash not so bad" as I've done it myself before, in a previous life, of course. I mean in a fictional, non-existent life, which NEVER HAPPENED, really (for all the network admin's who might be reviewing this as a type!).

[northernstar]

IF YOUR gunna do crack shoot some H first, or lots of oxys....then u wont chase it at ALL...i remember me and my buddy were smokin some. i was on the nod and he wasent...after a hit he would be running around "HOW CAN WE GET SOME MORE...LEMME BARROW 20 BUCKS...." LOL AND I WOULD BE LIKE " WELL THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD HIT BUT LETS JUST CHILL A SEC....THELL BE MORE AROUND TOMMOROW...LOL heres a lil comic from the old paranoia.com site i lovve......

NorthernStar, that was FUCKIN HILLARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[vanilla_mlkshake2007]

It is tha time of year in Maine again, all the crackheads around,sellin everything they own,selling their bodies on my street there great grandmothers jewelry type deal.People crawlin around picking the carpet for anything white to smoke.Actually smoking crackers and cookie crumbs.i mean it is such a waste of life.I seen this one guy offer this chinese girl 100 dollars for her carpet and she actually said "NO thanx there is to much crack in here I never sell carpet.No NO That has treasures." and I am laughing my ass off.
I used to be a crackhead.Notice I say used to be I've been off it for 11 years but did slip twice.This summer it has gotten so bad that I actually leave my money and credit cards at home so I know I'll have to pass my husband to go upstairs and get the money which will mean that I will have to come up with an excuse to leave again right away which will in turn ruin my buzz so all that wasted money will be a buzz kill anyways.
But the best thing I ever did was quit that crack shit.I got people everytime I step out the door almost saying "You wanna go half on a bag?" They know damn well I have more then that amount of money to go half on a bag and then what will I do for the rest of the month.
Lets see I won't do groceries,I won't get the fillings for my 2 cavities that are killing me,I will end up kicking myself in the ass thinking about what I coulda spent all that money on.I'll always be a crack addict.Thats obvious I've already slipped twice,but I'm learning ways to make it almost impossible to slip without getting in a big fight with my loved ones,and that right now means more then anything.
That being said I think if my opiate abuse affected my famiy and I as much as the crack issues did I would quit that to but I am a functioning addict.Without Morphine I just woudn't be the same person.So don't worry George we all slip up once in a great while don't beat yourself up for it.We all do it occasionally right?

it's not embalming fluid it's PCP;)
that embalming fluid thing is just a rumer I know some people who get wet.There is something on erowid about it in the PCP vault.

Hehe - I used to live in what I called the TenderNob. You know, not quite Nob Hill, but not the Tenderloin either. Sutter & Levenworth. God I miss that apt - great area - so much fun, walk to work, walk to the Warfield, walk to the Loin.....
