Am I immune to coke?

This would probably be better off on /r/drugs, but I only really fuck with you guys so I'm going to put it here. If the mods want me to move it I will.

So, I'm not going to name the vendor, but the listing was for some fishscale top shelf stuff. It's also worth noting that I've never done coke before today so I have nothing to compare it to. It looks like I've always heard the best shit described. It feels immediately oily in your fingers, and it came in very large approx. 0.5g chunks. I bought 3.5 total, and it was overweight but that doesn't matter here. The shit also smells like straight tartar sauce which I thought was pretty cool. It also sparkles like a stripper's glitter when held under a light.

Anyways, I've got a couple people over and they're literally all telling me this is the best coke they've ever seen/had and they're just high as fuck. I've done several fat lines now, and honestly I just feel completely normal. A tad wired at the most, but nothing other than my heart rate and body temperature being significantly higher than normal. I haven't done any drugs this week, and this is my first experience with stimulants I think so I shouldn't have any tolerance whatsoever. Do I just need to keep doing more? Compared to say a 50mg line of MXE these lines are pretty large, and I've put away about four now. Let me know what you pros think. Luhh you nigs btw.

Edit: I just don't know at what point I'm just wasting shit, because it's just not doing anything when I do more.

Edit 2: Up to seven fat ass lines now with about two hours between the first and last, and I'm going to stop before I OD or go into cardiac arrest without even getting high. I probably shouldn't have even fucked with it in the first place. Going to give it another go next weekend and reevaluate the situation with my roommate who hasn't done coke before either and see what happens. I'm going to give it about a zero percent chance this coke is just fake or very poor quality, and I've just got to be the problem here. Sorry for shit posting cluttering up your shit my niggas.

Its entirely possible that your body's chemistry makes you "immune" to cocaine's effects. I'll admit that I don't know which gene or body chemical metabolizes cocaine and gives your body the usual effects, but most drugs rely on your body's chemistry to process it. I've had genetic testing which tested various genes responsible for metabolizing a lot of different drugs and pharmaceuticals. If I remember tomorrow, I will see if cocaine was included but I don't believe it was. If so, I can tell you exactly which gene processes it.

People can be fast, slow, or normal metabolizers of a drug. Anything but "normal" can be problematic. For instance, a slow metabolizer might end up with a large build-up of the drug in their body on what should be a standard dose.

This type of insight (the genetic testing) goes along with the new approach to medicine - personalized medicine. A doctor can take these results, figure out which drugs you should avoid, which work well, and get you drugs that work. Another example - a pain patient complains to their doctor that hteir pain is not addressed by their medication. This approach to medicine will tell your physician if your genetic makeup is the culprit.

Years and years ago, I had Lasik surgery. For that they generally give you a xanax to relax you. I took it and felt absolutely NOTHING. I told the doctor but he didn't seem to believe me b/c he said he gave me a large dose (he had re-dosed me). I figured it was my opioid use that interfered with it, hell, I didn't know better. So fast forward years later, I have this genetic testing done, and lo and behold, I am a very poor metabolizer of Xanax and Valium! My testing showed that it would take abnormally large doses to get therapeutic relief and given this would be dangerous, it is recommended that I stay away from these benzos (I'm actually a poor processor of all benzos I believe).

TL;DR - Either the shit is fake and your friends are feeling the placebo effect OR your body's chemistry is unfortunate in that you cannot enjoy cocaine. Its very plausible that you simply lack the chemical makeup to properly process cocaine. Again, I don't know the specific metabolic pathways of cocaine, I'm applying what I've learned about genes as it applies to the standard classes of drugs (opioids, benzos, etc). And the good news is, TheEconomist1 is a normal metabolizer of all opiods :D

The test costs about $1,800 (it may be cheaper now, this was a while ago when it was more cutting edge). Its probably not worth it for most people, but the good news is that you only have to do it once since your genes don't change. It was worth it for me and I got a combination of drugs that work well for me.

I think you're totally normal. With over a year of DNM experience I have tried just about every drug under the sun. For me stimulants have been the most uninteresting class of drug. Coke, crack, meth, addy, all seem to do the same thing for me. On a good day it's like I had way too much caffeine, but most of the time they just give me a lovely wave of anxiety. I'm sure some people have a great time with them, I just don't. Sometimes I do wonder though if people just enjoy the image of it (railing lines is fun in it's own right), but everyone fakes enjoying the actual drug effects themselves. Same kinda goes for weed too. I've tried so hard to have a good time on weed, but rarely ever do. I used to fake it with the bros, now I don't give a fuck. How many others just faked liking the experience because they enjoy the culture/community? Downers and psychedelics are my thing: Opiates, benzos, acid.. Oh and MDMA. Who can't enjoy that?

Honestly, coke doesn't do much to me at all except make me talk to a lot of people and numb my nose/throat.

Now having said that. Go get fucking drunk!

THEN Go do some cocaine. It will make you feel less drunk, also it will help with confidence at parties when talking to girls!

Cocaine is the best drug, just combine it with shit. You feeling kinda tired at that festival on your third day? Cocaine.

Im coked out right now, I was killing it at the party tonight. It was a Bright and Tight Neon Black Light Party! Fucking Nuts. Everyone was decked to the nines in Rave bullshit in a random house hah.

Anyways, Sell that shit. People Will pay almost anything to buy GOOD Cocaine.

I've only done street coke, and I've never gotten high from it. It produces stimulation, but I actually find it to be a huge downer as far as mood goes. So it's like a mixed state of feeling mentally alert and unable to sleep but being completely depressed and wanting to die. Not fun. No other stimulant has made me feel that way, so I don't know if what I've gotten hasn't been real coke, if I just needed to do more, or what, but I've tried it on a few occasions and that's always been the effect it's had on me. Guess I'm lucky?

I've actually heard about this before, i thinkthat its genetic due to your body producing low iron because that can offset methaphetamines

                                                                                      lol jk

Tartar sauce would be a weird smell for coke for sure. Real fishscale coke is rock hard, and the scales kind of break off as you crush down a rock and leave flakes. Nice hard fishscale can be rather hard to crush into a fine powder. I usually just wound up hammering down some huge chunky lines. I haven't seen true fishscale in 10yrs. I've seen stuff that had similar qualities, but not the real 'scale i used to get chunked right off a brick. The coke scene has gone downhill fast. I know alot of younger users who never had real, good coke. I'd always hear they had some fire, or some fishscale. And it was never either. Sometimes it was admittedly some of the better stuff I had seen around at the time, but not even close to the quality of the low grade stuff I used to get for half the price.

I've had coke like this. Supposed to be the 100 a gram stuff. Looked the part, just like you described but barely any high off it and the more you took the more you wanted to dry heave and gag

It was a total waste of money.

Did coke a bunch and every time i did it, next day my nose would close for two whole weeks.

I keep saying never again when it happens but then I find myself before a mirror with a razor after some beers n yeah... I guess some people are just allergic to cocaine. Eh, I always considered it diet meth anyway.

I did coke for the first time last week. I got some from a very respected vendor and the batch had great reviews. My intial thoughts on the drug and how it effects individuals is that if you are a stable, happy individual you wont get much of an effect from it. If you are already naturally upbeat and energetic the drug may have a negative effect of feeling anxious or paranoid. Personally i really liked the drug though the effects to me at least are subtle and it wasn't what i expected at all. It just made me really focused and upbeat in a get shit done kind of way and i felt that if i tried something i could do it well. The downside is how fucking evil the comedown and the fiending for more is. I also didn't like the fluish feeling for a few days after. I'm honestly still sort of craving it a week later but i know that is a slippery path. Im done with it for now but i feel it could be very easy to get sucked in again if the oportunity arose, its evil stuff for sure.

My thing when I discovered coke my Home girl had me hooked on foilys coke isn't the same compared to that

coke's just a pretty lackluster drug in general, crack's a small step in the right direction but still nothing to write home about. IV coke's pretty sweet though

you should get some meth
