Alright, I know BBMC says MSM is the main cutting agent used for meth, but I'm pretty familiar with MSM and haven't seen product cut with a significant amount of it in nearly a decade.
The best explanation thus far has been n-isopropylbenzylamine. Or one of it's cousins, n-methylbenzylamine and n-ethylbenzylamine. But the only evidence supporting this explanation are a couple of mentions 7 or 8 years ago in the 'no-longer-available-to-the-public' DEA Microgram newsletter. Not long before the newsletter went private, there were a few seizures of what was thought to be meth, but was actually 2% meth and 98% n-isopropylbenzylamine, as determined by the DEA labs. Afterwards, the newsletters contained more than a couple of articles focused on the meth market and these new cuts.
The newsletters explained how closely chemically related these new cuts were to meth, and how they reacted and behaved almost exactly like meth in virtually all conditions and instances. Very difficult to identify, nearly impossible without high-end lab access, and very difficult to remove.
We have the MSDS on this shit, and supposedly it has a melting point about 15 or 20 degrees different than meth's melting point. But when 2 substances with different melting points are mixed together, the melting point of the mixture can not be predicted and varies greatly from the melting point of either of the inputs. And these new cuts are crystallized together with the meth, or they are co-crystallized in layers, like a layer cake. So trying to use heat to separate these vile cuts from the meth, which seemed like our best chance of washing this shit out, seems likely to result in failure.
The dope here in the States is just getting ridiculous. Everybody and their grandmother has these fucking humongous shards, and they clack together in the bag like fucking marbles hitting against each other. If you throw the bag on the table or disturb the bag in any way and the clicking and clacking is just impossible to miss.
This isn't dope, man. But it looks like dope, burns your nostrils like dope, cracks back like dope, and melts in water like dope. But I don't know what the fuck it is. And I don't know who can help us determine what it really is.
I got results back recently from a test performed by EC, but all they reported was the percentage of meth present in the sample, as in, for example, "Your Sample = 61% Methamphetamine". I questioned them in an email to see if they could possibly dig deeper, like clarify and quantify the presence of 'd' and 'l' meth isomers, cuts like MSM, n-iso, and whatever else they could possibly find, at any cost, but I unfortunately got no reply.
All we know about this n-iso is that it supposedly has little to no CNS effects in the amounts that would be consumed through typical meth use, according to the DEA in one of the Microgram articles. And we have the MSDS. But that appears to be it, no real studies of what this can do to meth users of varying ROAs over time.
And do we even know if today's cut is n-iso? It was quite a while back that they were seeing this stuff. It could be something else by now.
Who can possibly help us to at least figure out what the fuck this stuff is? Knowing how to remove it would also be pretty damn spectacular, but just knowing what it is, for harm reduction purposes, would be a big win.
The meth game needs this.
I think you're talking about the stuff the cartels are pumping out? The big ridiculous shards? I've come across some bad dope that basically just makes you tired years ago in Canada. We used to call it nope.
I've been getting really good meth from US vendors lately. I don't buy Mexi though cause I don't like it. (that's the term my friends and I use for Cartel Dope). Just to let you know, I've been doing Meth for over 10 years nearly every day with of course a few breaks in between, so be assured that I know the difference between good and bad dope and I'm not some 23 year old that's does a bit on the weekends when my Molly starts to wear off.
