How many dollar bills would you have to sniff to get a cocaine high?

As to how much cocaine will be on a contaminated bill, the expert witness in that 1995 court case charted results from as small as a nanogram (one-billionth of a gram) to as much as a milligram (one-thousandth of a gram). The Argonne National Laboratory study revealed that the average contamination was 16 micrograms (which is 16 one-millionths of a gram). If you're not quite sure how much a gram of cocaine is, picture the head of a thumbtack.

Assuming it takes, what 10 grams to get a god high ( I wouldn't know) Assuming 1 milligram on each. It would take 10,000 dollars to get high

^ :D

When you're in dollar bill-induced cocaine bliss, does it really matter if you're rich or poor?

LOL

And I assume you would have to do it fast enough so that there is an accumulation effect.

You'll probably die from all the STDs on bills before you get high. 100% of bills have gone to places where the sun don't shine. Don't lick it either.

You wouldn't be able to get 'cocaine high' off of trace amounts left on a bill. Those trace amounts are measured from the whole bill, and you can't even see them. Attempting to put something invisible to the human eye up your nose just wont work that well (I'm referring to powdered cocaine, not air.) BTW, as Clamum said, a quarter of a gram (likely less) will get a non user off.

Yeah, because all those sexually transmitted diseases live on bills!

Baked,

Which STD's travel on dollar bills and can be transmitted through inhalation?

If you snorted 10g of coke you would definitely be as high as the heavens.

Sorry, I couldn't help the bad pun ...

How can something in such a small quantity make that much of an impact? :confused:

I mean wow, 1/4 of a gram makes you high? Thats smaller than a pixel :confused:

A 1/4 gram would be much bigger than a pixel.

A gram is the size contained in a Splenda packet.

A thumbtack would be maybe 1/10 or 1/20 of a gram.


And yes, a 1/4 gram can get you a high.

I know your joking but drugs don't work that way anyway. They all have some type of 1/2 life in the body during which they have their intended effect. Isn't cocaine famous for having a really really short such 1/2 life? That is the high from it doesn't last long and hence why people sniff so much of it? (don't know could be thinking of another drug). Anyway whatever the half life of just about any drug would be so short compared to the minuscule amounts you would get from each bill that you would never be able to build up enough of it in your system to fell the effects.
