If I see the word
jehovah we can have a stoning....promise
Now, now - I think it should be BL policy that no group targeted (like the J Witnesses) by Hitler should be subjected to collective punishment on BL. Unless, of course, you meant the other kind of stoning.
Back on topic, after sampling 1 of these bright blues around mid-day, I can still vaguely feel it, which wouldn't be the case if these were etizolam. I did a little digging (yes, I'm unemployed right now), and vendors are all swearing they're good and proper Etizolam - quel supris - and one sent me a link to a wholesaler's analysis, which looked right: but could have been copied from any number of places. The only vaguely truthful-sounding fact I turned up is that they've apparently been, as earlier posters found, UK-manufactured, so I think we have a rare/mystery benzo analogue of some kind. Mild and longer-lasting than etizolam or alprazolam, (though I do still have a pretty high tolerance), but something I won't buy again, on general principles. Hopefully, I won't have to - if all goes to plan I'll be off this shit in a month or so. I'm sick of living in fear of running out, and once you're hooked, benzos/analogues aren't even all that relaxing: you're just in extreme danger if you don't have them.
Anyway, this whole episode leaves me feeling it's just a matter of time before something truly toxic gets into a batch of pellets, and etizolam will be blamed and banned, which is really too bad: it's less addictive than regular benzos, and, apparently, a lot easier to come off of. Same story as with every decent legal on the market: the vultures start circling, the vendors don't give a fuck (I've bought off just-met crackhead street dealers in London and baaad parts of US cities who were more trustworthy and frank about their product than RC vendors), and people get ripped off, hurt, or both. It's particularly distressing in this case, to me, because etizolam's the only readily available stopgap for anyone with a benzo habit, and the condem coalition have more or less told the NHS to forget about tapers, which'll kill a few people, but hey, the death certificates will just read 'heart failure', and they're only druggies, right? What I don't understand about all of this is the vendor attitude: if you risk your customers' health and safety, you're eroding your market-base...but then I guess they're not exactly planning for the long-term, and can't, given the usual political response (ban first, dodge questions later, especially if they come from independent scientists). Okay, off the soap-box, I'll shut up now.
