Backstory: I was feeling very depressed over business difficulties and the broader structure of society and the economy. I have struggled with depression for most of my life since late childhood, and had ultimately decided that I wanted to try various substances to at least expand my realm of experiences from the grinding course of academic and professional advancement that I had been on for so long.
So I ordered, among other things, some cocaine from certain modern sources.
I have ADD, so I have a long personal history with dextroamphetamine and various time-release variants thereof (e.g. Vyvanse). I thought it would be interesting to compare the two. I had stopped taking my ADD medication for almost a week since I didn't have much work to do, which in my experience is long enough to flush out the aftereffects, so this should be a fairly clean starting point.
I had 500mg of a 60% cocaine 40% benzocaine blend. The powder smelled a bit like dust from wafer cookies or something; not unpleasant.
At time t=-30sec I tried sampling some of the cocaine blend on my lips and gums. I got a strong, cold numbing sensation, similar to the feeling I get in the back of my throat when my amphetamine-based medications kick in.
