  No, smoking cocaine (aka cocaine hydrochloride) does not do much unless you first chemically “free the base” (aka crack cocaine).

    Fun fact, “free base” is the origin of the of the term “based”.

    Originally it was not a good thing.

    Language changes, so now based is fucking rad. And rad is not a term used by anyone.

      Only mathematicians still like throwing rads around

        And x-ray technicians. If your ehs representative say there are too many rads… RUN!

        Physicists also use rads for circular motions.

      I disagree. It’s too rad not to use.

      Based still has the innate connotation of doing your own thing without caring how others perceive you, which can still be a crackhead kind of trait.

        Based and crackhead pilled.

    Can confirm. I was once given a cocaine cigarette without my knowledge and it did have enough of a stimulant effect for me to notice something was off (though I was expecting a spliff, so it was easier to realize that it was having the opposite effect), but I absolutely did not get any kind of high.

    It was mostly just increased heart rate and anxiety with a little nausea, like being overcaffeinated.

      That sounds like my experience with the real thing. Didn’t really do anything but kill my alcohol buzz.

    Depending on the dose it could still do some stuff. Just like sniffing freebase cocaine can also give a tiny bit of effect.

    Not that one should be doing that.
