I just read the post about pharmaceutical xanax bars and realized the irony and something I've sub consciously done for two years without realizing it..
what is that?
well...
As someone who's a skeptic at times of Chinese produced active pharmaceutical ingredients and RCS, having personally sourced many over the years from Alibaba and if you check www.antilop.cc silkroad / the chinese connection, i was involved in that fiasco and said chinese vendor, so I've seen a lot of interesting finished synths.
My point?
I've ordered baclofen, pregablin, clonidine, some very basic moleccule structures, relatively easy to synth compared to a lot of others, and although I don't doubt the purity to be in the 90s of all these products, and I've had testing done which didn't quantify, but did identify the samples, and sure enough, they all come back testesd accurately.
The weird thing though is I'll order from two different suppliers, or the same, the same chemical, at different times (or if different suppliers, the same time), say 100g as their minimum order quantity (yes people, a lot of the alibaba folk aren't scammers, use your head and take your time comparing prices and feeling them out); and when testing the products received, myself, and everyone else who blindfold tested the products, noticed distinctly different effects and side effects.
I know I'm no chemistry but isomers and chirality and stereocentres and slight impurities and byproducts related in structure and all those things in ones biochemistry certainly can really change effects.
I for one, have no doubt in my mind, from both my significant other and my own experience, that both darknet Fentanyl Hcl (maybe if it was citrate it'd be a fair comparison?) does not compare to patches, and xanax powder and bars (even different batches) are not the same xanax as pharmaceutical (which ironically I've noticed different IOP and countries makes do vary slightly too but usually more in dosing and consistency and quality of the pill, but some are more sedating and anxiety relieving with far less of a rough rolleraoster come down and eery side effects)
Chinese xanax makes both me and my girl more goose bumpy, jitters, feeling cold, and I dont' mean mentally, physically actually, it kills our libido completely, low doses of dark net xanax are not nearly as effective as 0.5mg (all we both find we need) of a properly produced football..
I can go on and on, but my rant is and I hope I don't jin it, keep producing bars. Since day one, when I first was introduced to xanax, which was a love hate relationship I always chose 0.5 or 1mg footballs and particulary enjoyed coming across newbs or the fool who tried to doctor shop (where i live good luck) xanax and got 0.25 tabs, a personal favorite as this dose actually works as its potent enough but doesnt pack and punch you with much disinhibition or in your face effects and is probably the most you could take on a psychedelic without greatly dimishing aspects of the experience. (Xanax, a genius invention to me, a drug which disinhibits you so far, is so readily available and cheap, and lasts a bit longer then triazolam).
Somehow often one can actually integrate eating them into their life and become an official member of the prestigious, pretentious, world renowned intellectual academics (just with a bit of anxiety!) /r/mensa/ is considering merging with these brilliant minded individuals over at /r/bartards
Footballs are coming. Trust me ;)
P.s Patches are Fentanyl Citrate, not HCL like you mentioned so that's why it's not even close.
I agree though, I don't care what anyone says, I'd rather have 2mg of pharmaceutical alpraozlam any day than 4mg of pressed bars. And no it's not placebo.
