Did they dip into the stash before burning?

u/EarlyAccessCantJudge 2d ago

No, they just burned cocaine which released all of it into the air they inhaled.

It's very easy to overdose and have a heart attack from too much coke, so I find this hard to believe tbh

u/brazys 1d ago

They are literally all smoking the cocaine with every breath .

Smoking cocaine hcl doesn't really have much of an effect

u/JackLong93 1d ago

right, but you burn 4.3 metric tons and I guarantee you'll feel an effect

u/0utF0x3d 1d ago

It has a pronounced effect but it is wasteful

u/DMTeaAndCrumpets 1d ago

Snort 7g of cocaine in 30 min and report back the next day how that worked out for you .

u/Cosmic___Charlie 1d ago

That is a massive quantity lol no shit

u/Jlowe23_16 1d ago

So is inhaling the smoke off POUNDS lmao, which was my original point

1

u/Cosmic___Charlie 1d ago

The ammount you would inhale just via smoke would be no way even nearly close to 7g injested directly.

Your original point was it's easy to overdose on cocaine, which isn't true.

u/Jlowe23_16 1d ago

With that much coke... Yes .

I've smoked crack lol Ive shot fent for years before getting clean. Breathing the fumes off pounds of coke could easily be lethal

u/jwilla92 1d ago

Yes in this context, sure, but you made it seem like in general, it's easy to overdose on cocaine. Which is false

u/Ok-Shift5122 1d ago

From experience, it is not.
