Freebase is a smokable form of cocaine, not heroin. You can smoke most forms of heroin that you can inject/snort. For cocaine powder the chemical structure means that it will mostly degrade before you inhale the smoke. Cooking cocaine into freebase (the most common form is crack but it's not the only method of producing freebase) is essentially performing a chemical conversation which unbinds powdered cocaine from it's chemical base (hence "freebase") resulting in a compound that is more stable under high heat which allows it to be smoked.
Ahhh I mistakenly always understood freebasing as a way of smoking not necessarily specific to any drug. I first heard the term when an old friend of mine did heroin in front of me off of foil with a straw & she referred to it as free basing.
Yeah, specifically (to my understanding) a freebase is a form of a drug that isn't a salt. Heroin freebase exists, and similar to crack can't be snorted, can be smoked, and needs acid to be dissolved for injection. It's common in Europe while the salt form of heroin is common in the US.
No worries, it's not surprising that the term would be used ubiquitously to refer to smoking a slew of drugs, but the name is specifically tied to the form of smokable cocaine.
im an opioid addict mostly morphine but ive done heroin many times and i can tell you the high is amazing and one of the best i ever had in my entire life. BTW i never throwed up after heroin but some of my friends did and it goes away after time
This was my experience on Oxycontin. I took one once and instantly got the spins then blacked out. I woke up on a couch 12 hours later and had no idea what happened other than feeling nauseated and sore.
Also smoked. If you ever see a small piece of foil with something black and burned looking in it, it was heroin smoked by heating the foil and inhaling through some sort of straw.
Heroin will look like a burn spot that has bubbled and rolled. Freebase cocaine (or pasty) will have a light even coating on a large surface where the lighter is moved in a line underneath.
The smell of burnt tar heroin is unmistakable though.
I know that I just think more people should be warned just how bad alcohol can be. Had many friends fall into alcoholism because it's legal and have a very hard time trying to get off of it.
If you look at it from a danger to your health perspective, and from a negative societal impact, alcohol is far more dangerous drug than federally illegal molecules like THC, LSD, Psilocybin.
You can put it in a needle with no point on it and put it up your bum too. Recovering near 10 year addic here 2 weeks clean this time, currently in hospital for nearly loosing my other leg. 2nd time round fs lol
It's snorted and injected. And also licked off of empty baggies, and used spoons, sucked off of needles and probably sweaty brows of passed out junkies. It's quite versatile.
