White crystalline powder (cocaine hydrochloride)

As a hydrochloride (salt) it is usually sniffed, but can also be injected or (as a crack or freebase) smoked. Cocaine acts as a positive reinforcer. It inhibits the reuptake of dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline, resulting in a higher concentration of these neurotransmitters in the brain. Feelings of hunger, tiredness and capacity for pain are suppressed.

With continuous use Damage to the nasal septum. Cocaine powder is often laced with other psychoactive/stimulating substances (e.g. caffeine, phenacetin) and/or local anaesthetics (e.g. lidocaine, tetracaine).

An anesthetic effect therefore does not mean that the cocaine is particularly pure! In addition, levamisole is often added, which has an amphetamine-like effect. These additives represent a strong additional strain for the body, especially with long-term use.

Make yourself as smart as possible about your substance. Use drug checking if possible. Due to the fluctuating purity and rapid tolerance development, dosage information should be WITH PARTICULAR CAUTION to be considered with particular caution.

The average dose is around 50 mg of high-quality cocaine. The active ingredient content of cocaine is subject to strong fluctuations. Approach the effective dose. When using nasally, always wait at least 30 minutes before taking more. Set your maximum amount before each consumption experience. If you follow up, take increasingly smaller amounts.

Acute OVERDOSES occur mainly when the product is drawn several times. Always chop as small as possible. Use a clean, disinfected surface and your own drawing tube (not a banknote).

Avoid mixed consumption with alcohol and other substances that increase blood pressure. Cocaine masks the effects of many other drugs (e.g. alcohol, MDMA) and increases their toxicity - increased risk of poisoning!

Take breaks - do not consume again until a long distance has elapsed.
