TEK - SWIMS attempt at cooking crack and its results

[darkbreed]

SWIM got a bag of coke because he wanted to try crack as he never tried it before. As crack is not available where SWIM lives he decided to try make it himself as after reading about it the procedure seemed rather easy.

So SWIM, being unexperienced and never tried before, simply followed a procedure mentioned somewhere.

It said to mix coke and sodium bicarbonate in a spoon, add alittle water and cook it until the sodium bicarbonate didnt bubble up anymore.

So SWIM took a tiny bit of coke powder, about tip of a teaspoon, perhaps almost half a teaspoon but not topped. He added about same amount of the sodium bicarbonate. He mixed the two powders together first before adding some water, about a teaspoon full.

He then cooked it over a candle and it started bubble pretty much, so he took it away from the heat a tiny moment to let the bubbles settle some, and repeated the cooking some more, and he had to add alittle more water as it started to dry up. He cooked some more, hoping to see those mentioned rocks form, but didnt see anything like that form.

Instead he boiled it down until it was pretty dry white stuff stuck around on the edges of the spoon and small puddle of wet goo in middle. He had heared he should have poured off the water when the rocks formed but as he didnt see any rocks he simply cooked it down until it was almost dry and then scraped it off the spoon and on to a cd cover. he let it dry there for a while and was left with a pretty whiteish/grayish substance that was dry enough to chop up into powder chunks.

Not sure if this was crack or not he decided to roll it all into a sigarette in case it would work, and he was wanting a smooth and mellow first try so thats why he did the cigarette thing instead of trying on some sort of pipe.

He assumed it should still give some effects this way as other substances have done so in his past such as opium, heroin, meth, benzos etc which also usually is smoked in similar way in pipe such as those used for crack.

He smoked this sigarette, which did have a chemical taste to it and burned a bit slow so he had to puff a bit hard to keep it burning but as soon it got burning it wen fine, and he inhaled deeply and held in the smoke each time from 10 to 20 seconds until the sigarette was finished.

He did feel a mild feeling of being more awake and pleasent but nothing strong or mindblasting. He thinks it was some sort of crack effect from this, but as a note he do not normally smoke cigarettes so the tobacco and nicotine itself could also have either added to the effects or been more or less responsible.

The main question is, did SWIM get crack even though he didnt get rocks? And would this method of smoking it normally give effects and if so how strong effecs, like what should he expect to feel?

And any suggestions on what SWIM did wrong since no rocks were formed and he only was left with this white dried stuff covering the spoon?

He was thinking maybe he used too little or too much of either of the three ingredients (coke, sodium bic. and water) ?

Or did the cooking procedure wrong way?

Also, he was thinking maybe the coke was not of best quality and cut too much?

As a note, he did snort a line of the coke right after the smoke and got some more effects from that. So he think that he probably should just have done the same with the part he cooked as well =9

my suggestion.SWIY should not do crack (i don't like, i think old fashioned coke snorting is better in the long run). Another suggestion, maining if you still wanna try anyway, do it with ammonia, there is a whole thread about it here on DF. Another suggestion again: please use some sort of pipe to smoke it, sigarette's not gonna work.

yeah thanks for the concern and tips. SWIM did look through the forums quite for some time before he tried making it though, seemed sodium bicarbonate would be an easy and quick and less toxic way of doing it.

Anyway, SWIM just wanted to try crack as he never have before, not something he wants to get into, he is no actually a fan of uppers at all, mostly a downer man.

When it comes to cocaine, he also prefers the raw natural leafs themselves, chewed in traditional way, as the effect seem to be more enjoyable, lasting longer, and not much risk of overdosing or getting too dependent. He is lucky enough to live in a country where coca leaves are legal and very cheap and he is waiting for his next supply, just tried some coke in the meanwhile.

He is a bit curious though why he find the coca leaves better than the coke itself, perhaps its some other alkaloids as well that helps considering the low percentage of cocaine in the leaves. He really loves how his whole mouth gets all numb chewin on those buggers :=)

Just wanted to add, SWIM snorted another liner of coke which will be his last tonight, and he swallowed down a 2mg xanax -alprazolam- bar and a 10mg valium -diazepam- around 10-15 min before doing this last line.

He is hoping this will make him able to sleep soon when the effects of the coke starts wearing out and help against any possible comedown.

He has a rather strong benzo tolerance though but he is not sure about the safety of mixing benzos with coke as he read various raports so he hopes this amount will be sufficient.

He also want to add that he currently feel quite mellow and comfortably numb yet euphoric and alert as a mix effect between coke and benzo which is quite enjoyable.

He would also ask the mods if they can add a "edit post" feature so he doesnt have to make a new post to say something he could just edited into his previos post? =)

Cheers

EDIT: nevermind about the posting, seems posts gets merged when posting right after eachother. But still would be nice to be able to edit posts if mistakes and stuff though

actually you did it right... other than the heat until it doen't bubble any more...... mix equal amounts of coca and bicarb add water heat it will bubble bubble look at the surface there will be an oily susstance floting ontop use a toothpick or penny to skim this oil off the top collect the oilly substance. this oily floating substance will cool and harden in the form of rocks!!! let these rocks dry! then you smoke in a glase or metal tube. with steel wool wadded up in the end. push it down an 1/8th of an inch or so... this will make your bowl. when you apply heat/flamer to your rocks it will liqufy, enjoy!!

Swim uses a 1/4 soda to however much coke for example. If swim cooks a gram of cola a quarter gram of soda would be added. Also swiim only adds enough water til it becomes muddy not soupy. Slowly heats it til the 1st rocks form. works every time for swim.

Do you heat just once? I read here where you heat twice.

SWIM attempted to make crack for the first time recently too. He had planned on using ammonia and ether but couldn't get any ether so just did the bicarb method. It worked perfectly first time. Here's what he did:

1) Crushed up the coke (1/2g) and mixed it 4:1 with bicarb
2) Poured the powder into a 50ml glass beaker and added a couple of drops of water to make a paste
3) Heated it until it started to boil and then stopped heating
4) Cooled it down by running cold water over the beaker
5) Added more water so that it covered the hard white crust with around 1cm of water
6) Heated it again until the crack melted off the bottom of the beaker and swirled the water so the crack gathered in the middle
7) Cooled it again then fished the crack out with a knife, dried it on a filter paper and then smoked it.

It didn't produce a nice rock but a few big flat pieces. He got around 0.4g from 0.5g of coke (it wasn't amazing coke but it was ok)

SWIM was pretty dissapointed with the high. He had tried crack once before and not really enjoyed it but decided to try it again. Pretty crappy really. Very very very short peak which wasn't even that pleasurable. Saying that SWIM didn't stop until he had smoked it all. And then went on to make another half gram that night and another gram the following day. SWIM said he preffered the process of making it and making the crack pipe to be more fun than the actual high.

Although SWIM doesn't really like coke that much, crack is better though in SWIMs opinion.

you can heat it twice or three or five ... so on and so forth? you need an energy source to kick start the chemical conversion, in this instance.... heat was the energy source..... i swim hopes this answers one's question.....

[henryfree]

SWIM wonders what the difference, if any, the results would be if SWIM smoked almost dry crack vs. dry crack?

Also, SWIM wonders what the difference is between drying under heat or cooling in refrigerator?

ISWIM has failed at this soooo many times. What's the link to the ammonia method someone said was in a thread?

Swin has done rocks before and the steps you took were not all of them you could of done some good rocks if you knew the steps a average joe can make plenty of rocks if he has coke
