Drug info - powder glass passed off as coke

[stroknpok]

Okay, we are talking about [i]fiber[i]glass I assume or the like, yes? Finely powdered regular glass???
That can cause lung irritation if not more...Remember Asbestos??
Also keep in mind that O2/CO2 transfer occurs in your lungs...Through thin walled sacs rich in blood vessels, called alveoli.
Snorting of such will cause nasal/sinus irritations, infections, nosebleeds....
Again, your nasal passages are rich in blood vessels in order to facilitate O2 transfer as well as a 'radiator' type effect for some secondary temp regulation.
For those users who prefer to inject....there is the potential to have foreign body contamination of the blood stream. In other words, a little piece of shit,(like gravel subjectively speaking from the body's standpoint) is turned loose in a closed irrigation sytem. Bouncing around in the heart, coursing through miles of veins(that gradually diminish in size btw) through the filtration system of the liver and kidneys, there to be hopefully captured and encapsulated and excreted.
Foreign bodies lead to embolisms or blockages of flow so to speak.

A blockage in the lung can cause repiratory problems/failure

the brain ....stroke

the heart or its valves........heart attack

Not to mention the abrasive characteristics of glass.
Crush a beer bottle really fine and put it in a short section of PVC pipe...Put your gloved hands over either end and shake the shit out of it back and forth...

Take a Look, Hmm.....

Keep in mind that preferred methods of ingesting chemical are governed by the body's ability to absorb the drug into the blood system, which then distributes the drug to the target areas...brain, heart, muscle, whatever!
People snort because of blood supply to the nares
Smoke because of supply to the alveoli
Eat because of the supply to the small intestines and stomach
Etc.

Glass and its like is a substance foreign to the human body....
As such intimate contact with it is damaging to some degree.
Humans are essentiall bags of fluid..all soft and squishy ...inside skins.
Skins being the largest organ of the body AND the first line of defense against any type of invasion, be it biological or not.

Intravenous injection circumvents this primary defense mechanism and Strok views it as a potential 'Russian Roullette'....part of the appeal for some IV users(extremists or puritans all)

This thread is another good reason why SWIM likes his pharm drugs so much! Some dealers are ruthless, I've met a couple guys that would probly rip off their own brothers.

[stroknpok]

No shit, as this is a rather lethal way for a street dealer to stretch a buck...

[Sickness Life]

I dont believe that for one second.. That is bullshit to the extreme, no offence to you.

Drugs is a billion dollar business, Dealers dont make money unless they have repeat customers.. No one will deal with them if they are selling glass.. and why front glass as coke, Soap works better and doesnt kill anyone so you dont get shot.

Silly if you ask me. Dealers are not bad people. I can go down to the lower end of town an see dudes on the corner and even that shit is real. If someone is selling grinded glass its probolly some middle class suburb kid pissed off at the world an to scared to shoot himself an wants you to do it for him.

[FutureMovieStar]

I have rarely heard of this happening. I never have seen that happen.

If I were you, I would assume that the group doing this in your town is small. Just test with water or a nummy before purchase.

[morrisonf]

SWIM once procured some that was either cut with this or some type of salt. Guaranteed.

[lexifer]

swim had to post just to say that its super fucked up that someone is sellin powdered glass as coke. that's just sick, if someones gonna rip people off at least do it with something that isn't going to cause intense pain to go along with the pain of not getting swiys coke..

[RaverHippie]

That was one hell of a bump there,

But this is something that should be alleviated simply by a numbness check...

[morrisonf]

SWIM is talking about some blow cut with the powdered glass/whateverinthefuck it was, in order to pass it off as pearlescent.

[FlakeyPink]

if swim ever had a batch that was powdered glass im sure i wouldn't mind paying the extra hundred dollars to see that dealer disappear

[Xaero]

Why do you all assume the dealer is the one glass-cutting it or even knows its being glass-cut?
Unlike weed or x or meth that can be manufactured anywhere, and generaly only change hands a few times, yay usually does not go directly from supplier to dealer to swiy. The stuff goes through many hands, shit, many states, before swiy ends up with it. And swius have neither the time nor the inclination to test all ya'ls shit before its sold to swiy. 75% of the time that you think your dealer is fucking you, the truth is somebody is fucking your dealer.

One should always ask himself, why can this person get away with doing what he's doing? Does he work for somebody? Is there a powerful family/gang/outfit backing him? Vital research, lest you be the one who disappears.
