Well where do I start other than I guess swim is lucky to be alive. Swim's buddy starting talking about how cool it was to mix some with crack with koolaid and shoot it and despite the obvious health concerns after a few weeks of listening to dude brag about the "bells" swim gave in and tried it. Swim thought it was better that smoking and each shot got bigger and the pay off seemed stronger until swim wanted to do a whole $40. SWim mixed that puppy up with some citric acid and had buddy help bang right in swims arm. That's the last thing swim remembers. The story told to swim is that buddy hear a bangin on the other side of the apartment. As if someone was kicking in a door or something. Turn out it was swim seizing up and flopping against the walls and bathroom door. To make matters worse swim was wedged up against the door so buddy couldn't get into the bathroom until kicking his way in after many attempts to fine swim purple faces with no pulse on deaths door step. Buddy commenced beating on swim's chest with what he describes as full on cocked back punches... punch aster punch after punch and punctuated by pulse checks that returned NOTHING. Buddy finally started in with some impromptu mouth-to-mouth and finally swim started started gasping for air like... well is was life giving life saving air meanwhile with foams spread all around swims mouth. Then according to buddy swim went into some sort of primal phase where his damaged mind wasn't recognizing anyone and to call it a state of disorientation would be an understatement. Finally buddy was able to convince swim that he was friend and not foe and swim was sweating profusely and starting puking everything couple of minutes and had a indescribable thirst for water and gatorade which got puked back up as quickly as it was guzzled down.
Did swim have a cardiac event? Seizure? Combination? Wtf. Two weeks laters swim is over it and actually feels 100%. Mind is back to being sharp as a tack but feel a little traumatized at what swim did to himself.
Now what? Seriously considering getting swim into some professional therapy to discuss the near death experience.
Swim went to the hospital hours after the incident but one was in the waiting room after initial check in realized it was pointless.
The following days swim experienced extreme fatigue and extreme muscle soreness throughout the body.
If anyone can shed some light that would be great.

Kinda trying to blurt this out all at once so there a few grammatical errors. Fine = Find when buddy comes looking for me in the bathroom.
Just wanted to add I don't know how swim ended up in the bath room in the first place. Vomit session didn't even start until after swim was 'revived'.
Swim had a similiar incident not drug related where swim all of a sudden didn't recognize roomate and had a primal freak out and was promptly rushed the hospital and docs didn't know what to say. Brain scans didn't reveal anything abnormal.
Talk about a mind fuck.

not new at this. but wondering. in a small town and dont always have access to vinegar or lemon juice late at night. What can be picked up at a convenience store to break rocks down? was thinking maybe that "Emergen-C" would that work? What else? apple juice isnt acidic enough.

also SWIM used that green bottled concentrated lemon juice regularly in the past and one time it caused a big tumorlike glob in the armpit about the size of a lime. Swims armpit was an outie. Then SWIMS knee swelled up about double size. It was like that for weeks. And painful. Vinegar can sting when it misses swim says but its better than the lemon.

(Note: I don't use IV drugs, I volunteer at a needle exchange.)
QUESTIONS: I know people can recook crack to remove excess impurities. Would it not then make sense to first recook the crack, transfer to a new cooker (discarding any cut), and THEN break it down with acid?
Also, when you "cook" with the acid, you are just dissolving it, correct? Or does one have to then heat it again?
In our training, they do tell us to specify vitamin C powder over vinegar or lemon juice. "A pinch to a slab" is what we are told to tell folks regarding proportions. Just because someone is a doctor does not mean they have a specialty with illegal drugs. It is best to trust the word of a licensed substance abuse counselor who also has a medical background, as they will be up to date on the latest harm reduction strategies.
People, swim injects crack all the time. Off and on anyways, it's not really addictive, swim sometimes go months without. Swiim usually does two shots out of a 20$ rock. Pinch of powdered vitamin C, about .6-.8 cc of water in the slin pin, mix till it's clear, draw and bang.
If you feel like it's too much and your heart is racing too much then lower the dose.
The drawback is that you can fiel the Vit C in your veins all over your body so you get little prickling feelings all over randomly. But the rush is much better than smoking. Just doesnt last long.
Hope it helps.

Folks, swim IV's crack often. Not addictive really, sometimes swims goes weeks and months without.
Just split a 20$ rock in two shots. Add a pinch of vit C powder ( easily found at vit stores), about .6-.8CC of water in the slin pin. Mix, stir, draw, bang, voila. If you feel like your heart is racing too much then lower the dose. Swim finds this rush better than smoking by far.
