Smelled Cocaine, Coughed Vomit, Diarrhea That Smelled Chemical. Advise?

Hello,

Yesterday my friends encouraged me to try some cocaine and eventually they got me over and i snore 1 key-point. It was somewhat against my will, but whilst being with the influence of alcohol they got me over.

So i did that, well. I already instantly regretted this action and got stressed as hell, 20minutes later i had to cough and coughed a load of vomit up. 30 minutes later i had some diarrhea and that's about it.

Then today, i'm feeling pretty well. Kinda stressed that i used it tho, but i had 2 times diarrhea the last 2 hours. the first time it was just normal, the 2nd smelled very chemical and looked slimy. Now i'm kinda worried.

Can there be something wrong?

Cocaine is a light laxative in the first 30 minutes of use. The symptoms you are describe do not fit Cocaine profile.

The amount snorted (I assume one key point is below 50mg) should not have lasting consequences if not for a come down (depressive state) 1 or 2 hours after use.

There may be issues with the "cleanness" of the set up. The cocaine may have been contaminated by infective bacteria during transportation (it is often stored in less then clean locations in the body) or some of your friends was sick and you got an infection by sharing the snorting banknote.

Lastly I could imagine the cocaine was heavily cut with some agent that caused the symptoms (baby lassatives are sometime used).

Since you apparently did not like the experience at all I think you are safe from the worse effect of all: addiction.

Do not do it again.
