1. foilies
2 thumbs up
The finished preparation used to smoke freebase cocaine. An amount of cocaine is layered somewhat thinly on a foil sheet, baking soda is added in approximately half the amount of cocaine. A drop of water added, dried, then smoked in a "chasing the dragon fashion", however the insta-crack isnt moving so I guess there is no chasing to be done, just inhaling.
Dang yooo we smoked dem foilies till fo' in the mornin'!
----------------------
A Reader's Digest article of quite a while ago (I started subscribing in Jan. '74, and this was before that) was a father's story of his son Owen. Owen was heavily into drugs. As of the time the article was sent for publication, he was off drugs. His father wrote that Owen suffered from "trailing afterimages, a legacy of his drug use." If you stare at a light for some time and then look away, what you see is an afterimage. A trailing afterimage is a sign of retinal damage.
One form of retinal damage is retrolental fibroplasia, or partial retinal detachment (a form of retinopathy). Seizures can cause partial retinal detachment. Drugs can cause seizures.
If you are hit hard enough on the back of the head (I believe this is where you would have to be hit), I think it is possible for one or both retinas to detach even if you have no existing retinal problems. If you do have existing retinal problems, then you increase your susceptibility to total retinal detachment with or without an external application of force.
So I don't think it's a one-shot risk ("use a drug, lose your sight"). However, I believe that you do in fact increase your chances of losing your sight when you use drugs, and certainly you increase your chances of losing a significant percentage of your sight.

If foilies are little gremlins that poke your eye with a hot steak while you sleep, then yes, foilies make you go blind.

Yeah, if you use foilies you'll probably go blind eventually.

I don't know if I even understand you're question.
But in general external sources generally don't cause blindness.
Unless you do something foolish like staring into an extremely bright light source such as the sun for to long...
Just my .01
