Re: SWIM's Kitty Crack Guide
Swim tried this about 20-30 minutes ago and besides having a black face and a shitty taste in his mouth, he feels a bit more awake. He's having a beer to wash the nast taste in his mouth (also ethylphenidate should feel alright after a beer or two). Insufflation is the better option in his opinion- he used methylphenidate IR 30mg (3x10mg) finely crushed with an approximately 1:1 ratio of mpd and soda. He may have added a little too much water to make it efficient/effective. Also lighter burns on his thumbs from trying to dry it (it takes a lot longer to dry if you add too much water). He let it dry for about 30 minutes under a pretty hot lamp and the lighter as well.
He'll probably insufflate half of his 50mg codeine pill to slow himself down, because though he doesn't have that much tolerance this method seems to have done nothing except give him a caffeine-like buzz and he has work in 5 hours and pop a couple of ER/SR ritalin to get him through his shift. Maybe extracting the mpd via the water/isopropyl/filter would have worked better, as he had a bunch of residue which is presumably binder and baking soda (he hopes). His lungs are okay, nothing worse than smoking a few cigs in a row. Also, he smells like burnt shit.
Slightly notable increase in heart rate and slight tingling in bits, though this could be due purely to the fact that it's cold as hell out right now and he's tired plus the bit of mpd that made it into his bloodstream- a lot of smoke escaped because it would seem to burn from random places on the sheet.
Overall he'd give it about 3/10- maybe due to user error, but found the process inconvenient. He also isn't sure about smoking from foil in terms of lung health, and is pretty sure that as far as IR goes SWIY would do better ingesting a decent amount of IR ritalin and waiting the 30 minutes it takes to kick in. He may try it again with less water, but his face looked like he'd just come out of a burning building. Sooty and all that.
All in all I'd say that SWIM/SWIY is better off parachuting or snorting your choice of stims. Less work, no nasty taste, no choking on the most bitter smoke ever tasted. The smoke was incredibly hard on the throat and lungs, which is a sign that it's doing your body no favors. SWIM chose this method to see if SWIM could get a quick up and down before bed, but it's really just a mediocre up at this point. He took some benzos earlier but those should be tapering off now- disappointed overall but not a total loss of faith. Worth a second shot I guess, but again, besides feeling awake when he was tired before (which is useless at this point) there's no buzz or euphoria. He spent half an hour preparing for it (first time) and found it kind of crappy, but again, SWIM'll give it another go tomorrow or something. It could have been the over-hydration making it too difficult to smoke- also, did any other SWIYs notice that the smoke tends to travel up and get in your eyes? Not very pleasant.
Once again though, not tacking it up to a bad technique, maybe just first time error. It's not as easy as it seems though.
