An idea for making alprazolam (Xanax) capsules.

edit: just read the TL;DR.

I've been frustrated for some time over how to make the best use of alprazolam powder (AP) for selling IRL. Sweetarts didn't work well for me. The easiest way by far is volumetric dosing of sugar cubes using alcohol. I say alcohol over PG because PG is slightly oily and starts to break down the sugar cubes after a while. What I'm going to try whenever (if ever) my order arrives is using the gelcaps you can buy for cheap off Amazon. The idea is to mix the AP with a filler such as flour or powdered sugar then just fill up the capsules. Typical capsules are 100 mg, so I'd be tempted to just weigh out, for example, 1000 mg of flour to fill 10 gelcaps. What bothers me is that mg is a measure of weight wherein cc's are a measure of volume. So to make sure to get an accurate dosing of 2mg/gelcap, I'd really need to know the specific weights of AP and the filler, but fuck that, right? (this all made sense when I was writing this, it's not so clear after reading it back.) I could weigh out 100mg of AP (50 doses) and then 50x98=4900 (100mg - 2mg = 98mg ) of filler and see if the filler makes up exactly 50 capsules, with a tiny amount of space for the 2mg AP. A more surefire method, although tedious (only needs to be done once) would be to fill a gelcap 50 times and then weigh that to see how much filler to weigh out for the next run. Then mix the two powders together thoroughly using a baggie or other suitable container by shaking vigorously for long enough to make sure the powders are evenly mixed. Fill up the 50 gelcaps, and voila, profit.

TL;DR: use volumetric dosing using a powdered filler material.

ghetto ass idea of "volumetric" dosing. i wouldn't touch those things.

but by all means. "...viola, profit." make that money. everyone is going to be ecstatic. you'll be rich. after a few months of selling you could probably even cop a new pair of nikes.

honestly you should probably just make a solution of 8mg/ml alprazolam /ethanol and use a graduated dropper to put 1/4 of an ml per on sweet tarts or bottlecaps. bottle caps are much more absorbent but sweet tarts cover the bitter taste more. then let em dry overnight. at least then you have an accurate dosage because the ethanol actually dissolves the alprazolam whether than just mixing it with a filler.
