Some of you are likely to have seen this listing and heard the story behind it; but I need the advice of some of you experts in this field...
I was searching for vinyl in an antiques shop in the middle of Texas, and I saw some triple-beams on a shelf with some other medical/lab junk. I kind of collect that sort of stuff, so I went over to check them out. The shelf contained some old medical devices, and some dusty, empty bottles of some classic drugs like Seconal, Eskatrol, pharmaceutical cocaine, and a small green box clearly labeled "METHEDRINE". I thought, "I know what THAT is," and picked up the box, which had obviously been opened. I expected it to be empty; what I didn't expect were the twelve beautiful ampuls of 20mg of methamphetamine hydrochloride in a cc of saline solution. I don't know exactly how old they are, there's no expiration date to be found; but the box also had a set of directions for use that is dated February of 1961. The box was marked $7.50.; but they were having a sale so everything was half-price. Making myself as small as possible, I paid for the things and got the fuck out of there.
You can see them here: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/730b9894d6
So my dilemma is, what should I do with these? If I keep them, should I try it? Would it still be good? If I sell them, do I break up the 12-pack? What are they worth, both as a collector's item and as a consumable?
What would you do with them? What do you think they are worth, alone or as a set?
I figured the folks here on the SR forums would know more about this than any other group of people. What do you think?

That's awesome

Wow, I think that's the most badass thing I've ever read. I don't know what the half-life on meth is, but it's probably deteriorated a bit. The best way to find out would be to give it the old college try :D
Let us know how it goes!

Pharmaceutical Grade Meth is one of those drugs whose stability can out-live you, so long as it is properly stored (even in solution). Judging from the great condition that the labels are in, I would guess that those ampules still have 90% or more of their original strength.
As for the value, You would probably get more money selling them as a collectible item on here than on there own. But that is your choice, and it is uncertain if a lot of people would be interested in buying drugs at a high markup due to historical value. If I was to try and sell them I would probably take the middle road: Find out the average price per mg of high-grade glass on here and multiply that by 10-30% for the collectible factor.
Just my thoughts on the matter.

Well, Personally, I would sell just a few, keep a few, and do a few : ))
Just to say I did some old ass meth from waaaaay back. And i'd sell some for a lil extra cash and so other users could say the same.
I'd keep some for antique value. Pass that shit on to your family when you get old.
I don't usually do harder drugs like meth or coke, but that is just too fucking cool to not try haha

give it a try and see ;)

Awesome story, these ampuls are beautiful !
With a brand name like this, "Burroughs...", I guess they must be high quality ! And if they were made in February 1961 I think they deserve a "JFK quality grade" or something like that !
It remembers me a nice review I read on Erowid (?) where some people shared an original ampul of Sandoz LSD25.

what ever you do with them thats a cool story and ace find.......
-
That's way 8)
If I were you, I'd keep them. I love that part about the meth not being addictive ???
However, if you do sell them you should definitely keep the box as a trophy of your antique find.
-
You should definitely save one for yourself. That way if you ever have to give some kind of public speech,in your life, you can do it with the fervor and emotion that Hitler had. LOL
-
Do the right thing: turn them in to law enforcement.
;D Just fucking kidding.
I think the value as a collectible is way more than the value as a drug. I would not use them or break up the set.
-
Take them to the pawn stars from the history channel or call in The American Pickers
-
Honestly I would look into this deeper I bet these are worth hundreads if not thousands as an antique
Imagine a rich old meth head from the 60's reminiscing over his old medicine :P
No but for Real any rec drug user would Find this cool as fuck (half the value of antiques) and probably pay a good price for them.

"Well, I don't know very much about this kind of item, but I have a friend who is an expert in antique methamphetamine, lemme give him a call and see if I can bring him in."

I have to say that is pretty badass. If it was me, I would have to try even just a little even though I cringe at expiration dates. Drugs seem to transcend this phobia of mine.
