Crack can be mixed with a weak acid, like citric and heated with water to prepare it for injection.
#SMOKING CRACK ON TIN FOIL CRACK#
After many years of abundant supply at user-end purity, in the UK crack quality now varies significantly but 30% is not uncommon. Generally, the harder the consistency of the rock, the more bicarbonate has been used to transform it.Ĭrack can be a highly addictive drug, producing a short-term tolerance to its effects and deep psychological dependence-the user frequently becomes trapped in an impossible cycle of regaining the initial high and avoiding the ‘crash’ that occurs when the effects wear off, which is usually around 15 minutes. Crack is made by adding bicarbonate of sodium (baking powder) to cocaine powder and heating in water. Crack appears as ‘rocks’ of yellowish/ off-white with the consistency of wax. It is smoked in a variety of fashions, with a pipe (there are a wide range of home-made and designer models), by smoking on foil or in a roll-up (‘crack spliff’ by mixing with tobacco and sometimes cannabis. The major methods of administration of cocaine are sniffing or snorting, injecting, and smoking (including freebase and crack cocaine). In Cocaine users = the gums and nasal membranes are numbed 6.Crack is a form of cocaine that delivers an immediate, powerful euphoric effect. Constricts blood vessels in local region – delays absorption – localizes anesthetic effect 5. Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) = inhibitors – prevent MAO from breaking down monoamines in cytoplasm 4. Cocaine blocks conduction of action potentials by blocking Na+ ion channels 3. Reverse monamine transporters (MAT) to pump monamines out into extracellular space 3. binds to VTA and nucleus accumbens sites (rich in dopamine synapses). Vesicle pH balance is altered and transporters are reversed and release monoamines in cytoplasm 2. Substrate-type releasers = enter presynaptic neuron and get packaged in vesicles. reuptake inhibitor binds to transporter and prevents uptake of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin 1. Testing the hair will know if you have used cocaine and how long ago within 3 months. Also found in hair the drug and metabolites. The half-life is 45-75min - Cocaine is excreted thru the urine it has metabolites about 48-72hrs after using. Absorption Intranasal = in 2min its absorbed, 10-20min the blood levels peaked Freebasing and smoking crack = rapid absorption, effects in 7-10secs Metabolism and Excretion - The enzymes in blood and liver metabolize cocaine. After 10-20min the effects peak and one line gives 20-40mins of stimulation/euphoria Crack Cocaine - when its burned the rocks crackle and its smoked in pipe or mixed with marijuana and in seconds it goes to the brain - Crack Cocaine = MOST ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE more than heroin, barbiturates and alcohol - few mins after the high, experience “hangover” = deep depression, extreme sadness, irritability, feelings of paranoia and craving for the drug.
#SMOKING CRACK ON TIN FOIL FREE#
free base is smoked in pipe or sprinkled in cigarette or joint and gives intense high in few mins 3-5 mins it goes to the brain. More cocaine in non- ionized form and more readily absorbed Chop powder with razor blade and then arrange in thin line and inhale thru straw Freebasing = converting Cocaine HCL into smokable “free base” form. Add wood ashes/ground shells to leaves to intensify effect. In contrast to the IV administration, heroin inhalation. Foil smoking is the second most common form of heroin consumption after the intravenous use. By heating an aluminum foil with a fire lighter the heroin on top of the foil starts melting and the smoke is then inhaled using a straw. Light up and put meth on one end of the aluminum foil and heat it, this would turn the meth into liquid. Following this, use a toothpick to release the gas from the lighter and put a blue tack below the lighter and place it on the foil surface. Oral Snorting I.V Chew or suck coca leaves = was used for social ritual and mild stimulation Sniff Cocaine HCL thru nostrils and absorbed into blood thru nose Within 2 mins = intense initial rush of pleasure that lasts about 10min followed by crash. Foil smoking is generally heroin consumption by inhalation. Check if the flame is adequate and adjust the foil as needed. Those chunks heated in pipe then inhale vapors. Tooting = place cocaine HCL on tin foil, heat until vaporizes and inhale vapor Freebasing = separate cocaine molecule from HCL, produces stronger effect b/c increase in lipid solubility Crack = baking soda solution mixed with Cocaine HCL, evaporate the water and it produces chunks.
