   I didn't know freebase meth was oil. Interesting.
   
   But wouldn't smoking cocaine nitrate, if that even exists, put NO2 in your lungs? I mean, thermal decomposition of a nitrate often yields NO2 which turns to nitric acid on contact with moisture in the lungs. Was Cocaine Nitrate a joke?

   It's real, it's just an uncommon salt of cocaine.
   
   from wikipedia
   "The hydrochloride (HCl) salt of cocaine is by far the most commonly encountered, although the sulfate (SO42-) and the nitrate (NO3-) salts are occasionally seen."
