^^^I agree it?s pissed me off how little people seem to care about the purity of RC?s, so long as it makes you feel something then it must be legit..
When 5-MAPB was around I bought two batches, both from very reputable dealers (whatever the fuck that means).. Both tested nearly the same on reagents but one was a pure white shiny powder, the other a beige powder with an odd smell similar to vanilla/cherry.
The first white batch was active at 30-100mg and was an amazing substance. The other shit needed 300-400mg and never got close to the better batch in quality of effects.
People tried telling me up and down that the purity couldn?t possibly vary that much, it was all set and setting, blah blah.
Eventually the impure powder was left to the side for years and one day purified. When re-weighed after sitting, it had lost almost half its weight from evaporation of all the volatile precursors used. Further purification yielded an off white powder with similar properties to the first batch.
Estimated percentage purity after clean up.. MAYBE 10%! This was a vendor everybody swore was legit, perfect SoS rating, and they had garbage product.
I?ll repeat, so long as it feels like they ingested a drug, most could give a shit.
As far as psychedelics.. I?ve noticed, as have others, that darker/tanner 4-AcO-DMT is more potent as well as less happy-go-lucky compared to pure white product. This seems to be a commonality amongst tryptamines from what I?ve seen, degraded DMT and aged Mushrooms seem to have the same problem.
While some seem to enjoy the increase in potency, I myself prefer a less chaotic experience.
