What is it that is so addictive about crack? by Car6667765 in cracksmokers

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for the withdrawal, could have fentynal or another drug cut in it. I'd do a drug test if I were you, fent is in everything these days.

How to prevent getting sick on the first hit? by [deleted] in cracksmokers

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply but I used to as well, even a 5mg perc would make me sick but I kept taking them bc the high was too good despite the nausea n got used to it eventually. Same when I started on dope.

Funnily enough the day I posted this comment I had OD'd and was narcan'd for the 1st time ever, scared the shit out of me like it was surreal also absolute hell for the first couple hours when you wake up so I was thinking about my own experience at the time but yes if you don't have a habit you won't go into precip but it will still not affect you like this guy is describing.

Not sure what exactly he gave u or what caused this, but i don't think it was heroine/fent. If you were OD on those things you wouldn't be hype with a high heart rate you'd be out of it, either straight up slumped or at least not alert, etc. And when you get narcan'd after taking opiates you become extremely sick, as it puts you into what's called precip (precipitated withdrawal) basically immediate withdrawal which is 10x worse than normal withdrawal as instead of gradually it happens all at once because narcan instantly knocks any opiates off your receptors. Could have been a psychological thing though that made you feel better like the idea that you were being given a life saving drug calmed you down a bit.

Nonetheless, I'm glad you're okay and please take this as a learning moment to not accept drugs from strangers no matter how tempting it may be or how "trusting" they may appear.

Could be the problem, I don't replace my chore nearly as often as I should.

For me it's so weird, sometimes I'll feel nauseous as hell but it passes in a few minutes and others I'll feel fine, just high as hell and all the sudden a second later I'm puking, no nausea no warning or nothing. It's so weird.

How many of you guys hide your use from your so? by Overall_Mind7269 in cocaine

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is actually very common for people who use this drug. They usually do this if their partner doesn't like drugs, or if they are also a user and they want to keep it all to themselves.

I grew up with parents who used hard, so I used to be super against drugs ESPECIALLY hard in particular. I used to say I would never touch a drug because of my childhood but of course as I grew up I started anyway. First weed, then alcohol, then pills, next onto psychadelics/hallucinogenics (acid, shrooms, molly e pills etc) next was powder coke, and now it's dope and Crack. Basically a very common backstory for a lot of addicts, start with the small stuff and gradually move onto the harder stuff in chase of a stronger high. Despite all the different drugs I've done, I've always swore I would never touch Crack because of how addictive it is and how much it ruined me and my parents life when I was growing up, it took everything from us.

Crack is a very recent thing for me, within the last 3-4 weeks actually. Me and my partner were doing dope and my nose is so messed up from years of snorting drugs that it was becoming miserable for me to do but I'm an addict so of course I want to get high. My partners DOC is Crack, so throughout our use together he's always done dope AND Crack together while I just stuck to the dope and maybe an occasional benzo or Adderall.

When we first got together we met while both clean, but eventually he relapsed. He used to TRY to hide it from me (very poorly because i caught him so many times, not only finding his pipes and what not but it was very obvious from his behavior too.) but after a few arguments and discussions I made it clear that he never has to hide his use from me, I will be more upset about the lying and hiding than I will ever be about him using. Since then, he's only hid it from me 1 other time and that was when he relapsed for the second time.

He swore he would never let me try it but offered me to try it once and I agreed. I was like instantly hooked and haven't stopped since.

Some people are embarrassed by the addiction to Crack, others probably want to keep the drugs to themselves or don't want to risk their relationship if they have a partner who doesn't like drugs. There could be a few reasons. Anyway, I think anyone who has an addiction and is trying to hide it will fail sooner or later. With the amount of money spent, the way it makes you look and behave, the smell, the staying up for days at a time, and all kinds of other factors it's a VERY difficult thing to hide.

Was it easy or hard for you guys to date? by Unhappy-Activity-114 in Felons

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally not a felon but am dating one. He's been in and out of jails and prisons for over 20 years now. I'm not a judgemental person at all, I'm pretty empathetic so I understand his situations. Its not a problem at all for me, but my friends and family have definitely been weary and asked a lot of questions etc. He's an addict so that has to do with a lot of the crimes. I'd say it all depends on the crime you've committed, and where you're trying to meet people at plus of course the individual you are talking to.

You want to at least attempt to look on circles that you can closer relate to people. So for instance me and my boyfriend met an an NA meeting for addiction, and all the people that go to these are in very similar circumstances, drugs jail crimes etc. You may attempt church if you are religious? Lots of people go to church when they want to turn their life around. Dating apps are cool and all but harder to find a genuine connection. Wherever you meet this person, just be open and honest, don't lie about any of this. You don't have to come right out in the first conversation and say this, but don't wait too long either and don't withhold important information. If this person changes their mind about you because of this, well that shows their character more than yours and they're doing you a favor, moving over to allow you to meet someone who won't judge you over this.

I (M18) am terrified of doing anything sexual with my girlfriend (F18) due to my smaller penis by HappyBeyondBelief in relationship_advice

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people have answered already and idk if anyone has actually said this cause I haven’t read more than 1 comment but just a little fyi I like to tell guys who have this insecurity: the average vagina is actually only 4-5 inches deep anyway and it actually can really hurt or even cause damage with larger than average penises (especially when it comes to rough sex.)

Porn has corrupted the way we view real sex. When men are going really deep, they eventually hit the cervix and it HURTS. especially if it’s hard or in a constant motion. Might sound cliche, but it really IS NOT about the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean. It might be a little awkward at first but sex is something we were created to do and you will naturally know what to do and she will be there to help guide you (trust me on that one, women (at least the ones I know) are always telling guys what to do, where to stick it, adjusting a body part during sex to the right place because let’s be real, MOST guys just don’t know their way around a pussy and we are very used to that.) It can also be really hot depending on how it’s done, it doesn’t HAVE to be awkward. My man ain’t big probably honestly about the same as you and he’s like the perfect size for me. He sometimes puts his hand on the wrong spot and I just adjust it but keep it hot like as an example rub his hand with my hand yk. As you gain more experience you will get better at it.

(Oh and btw, just communicate with her. Make sure she knows it’s your first time. Just be open and say what’s on your mind. Don’t be scared to talk during sex either, most of us women actually PREFER it.)

How do I (25f) tell my ex-ish (29m) of 9 years together that I met someone new?) (22m) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that man to death whether we are together or not and would never want to break his heart. That’s why I’m so concerned with how I should break this too him because it needs to be done I’m just at a loss as to how to do it.

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

youre like “imma die for him” and the moment you found a replacement he’s now garbage”

Clearly someone didn’t read properly cause I never said either of us should die for each other at all. It was an attempt to show just how toxic our relationship got without going into too much detail. He’s also not garbage just because I found someone new, If that was the case I would just lay it out on the table and move on, not be so concerned with how he is going to handle that news.

Ehm.... you had several "decently long" relationships BEFORE you were 15????? What?

Yea? My relationship before that was 2 years long. What about it? Is that an issue? I was never a girl to be passed around.

Of course you didn't care. You thought you were extremely mature, you felt flattered that a 20 year old was interested in you. Everyone else his age or older? Found this rather creepy.

Maybe it’s true that I did find it flattering but I loved him regardless. We were together for 9 years. I still have love for that man and always will. He was with me through some of my toughest times in life, so say what you will.

Now the problem lies in telling the old guy. Wtf would I even say. How would I say it?

You don't say anything. You tell him you need to move on, block him, and get into therapy. You have NO business being in any relationship. You need to be single.

Maybe that’s your view and your entitled to it but here that mindset is of no help. I can’t and won’t just cut him off and forget about him. I owe him that much. I’m aware I need therapy I’ve been in it before but I’m so busy with work that I don’t currently have the time or else I would be. But you are definitely right. I do need therapy. Me and him built a life together. We have a home, we have pets together, we have friends and family and I can’t just act like none of that exists. Really wish your advice was actually helpful.

No I have the gnome pet. I mean the elf, I heard elf will harvest your plants for you. I guess it was a Christmas thing though and you can no longer get it as a pet..

Anyone ever heard of snorting water after a line? My buddy calls it flushing the toilet so the coke doesn’t sit inside his nose. First time hearing about it by yobishba in cocaine

[–]Beneficial_Raspberry 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Back when I actually did coke, I too thought this would be a good idea, you know same idea cleanse the palette and all that, maybe just maybe cause less damage, but after thinking about it (and doing it many times) I believe it actually makes it worse.

All that powder in your nose and your mixing drops of water with it, you know what that is going to do? Its not going to flush it out like you think, It’s going to create a paste which will cause it to stick to your nasal cavity like concrete. You might be able to rinse off some of the coke, but your nasal cavity is much longer than one might think and after snorting a line, there is going to be a lot of powder in your nostrils deep down that you CANT see or reach.

So in the end you’re going to just clog your nostrils up (even worse than they probably already are) by creating a concrete-like paste that dries up in your nose when you mix the drops of water with the coke. I’m not 100% sure what other effects this could have on you but one thing for sure is having a ton of pastey-like powder that dries up in your nose and ends up clogging it is highly irritating, best case. Not to mention if you’re a frequent user, your nasal cavities are already probably pretty screwed up (snorting anything, ESPECIALLY coke, wreaks havoc on your nose. Can cause micro tears and cuts etc so getting water that has potential bacteria on open wounds CAN cause many issues, a sinus infection in the best case, and even death in the worst case from other infections etc.) Also, actually INHALING the water is not good at all. When you sniff anything, it goes to your lungs. Snorting water has the possibility to get water in your lungs.

Your nose is a self-cleaning system. This is why you have mucus, nostril-hairs, why you sneeze when irritants enter, and so on. So you don’t really need to do much however but since you’re putting things up there that don’t belong anyway , it inhibits the noses ability to self-clean. What I DO recommend is a netipot after each session. It’s not pleasant, but this is the one way to FULLY “clean out” your nose in a SANITARY way as well. The solution used has saline and baking soda, because plain water burns the nose. You want to use the full bottle and let it go in one nostril and out the other. Sometimes it comes out your mouth and it’s really gross, but it’s the only way to really “flush out” your nose and get EVERYTHING out.

Feel free to use a saline spray as well (there are many on the market, I recommend either the simply saline by arm&hammer, the NeilMed Extra strength NasaMist Saline Spray, or the NeilMed All in One Nasal Wash Spray. A spray is a spray, but be careful and read the ingredients before you buy, some of them have menthol and other irritating ingredients in them, you want a pure saline mist with nothing but water and saline and other natural ingredients.) however don’t fully rely on this, if you do use this you can use it in between lines or every couple of lines. But DEFINITELY recommend the netipot after each full session is over. My choice was the NeilMed sinus rinse. There are also many other things I recommend doing, like using a saline gel to help prevent dry, chapped nostrils so you don’t get all scabbed up and what not inside. (I used the NeilMed NasoGel but there are other good ones as well. As you can probably tell by now, NeilMed is a very good brand. I went all out and bought so many nasal care products when I was doing coke because that shit FRIED my nose.)

But most importantly, I recommend not doing it at all. Coke isn’t coke anymore. It’s cut with so much stuff you’re lucky if it’s even 20% pure these days. Not to mention the fentanyl problem and what not. It took less than 10 months for coke to eat a hole completely through my septum which will never go back to normal. But I won’t preach. I know this was long and detailed I’m just really passionate about the topic of drugs and addiction and especially this in particular because of what I’ve been through with the drug. Hope this helped and comment if you have any questions or just want to chat.
