I think it's probably the dark net giving new life to distribution of Chinese alprazolam by Canadian and US pressers. It's brought the price down and supply up. Plus it floods areas in a way that prescription diversion can't--there's a big difference between selling 2-3 90-count scripts a month and getting 1000 in the mail whenever you want.
Add pop music containing more references to xanax than ever and you have a recipe for idiots doing dumb shit.
lol maybe in South Africa, but not anywhere relevant...
Oh my soul, how uncouth, on the streets just like that.
What I just do here in "irrelevant" South Africa for some good old Alprazolam is go to ANY black/Indian/muslim/eastern-european Medical Doctor. 90% of the time its just a little 1-man operation in a 10 x 10 meter little practice in a random shopping park.
I go In, pay the ZAR300 fee to see the Doctor. I'm of a certain disposition, I don't judge, I just will not sit next to these sick people so you I hand ZAR100 or so to the nurse under the table I go through right away. From desk to Docter in 2mintes, no waiting an hour or more, ain't nobody got time for that.
Here comes the cool part. You sit down, greet the doctor, tell him that you would like A, B, C, D, X and Y and he just writes it all on his prescription pad, sometimes you leave without having made eye contact. Don't even start with doing an exan or to even ask why and for what you want it, he couldn't give a fuck he is lazy and he's not ignorant, he is making money ofd me and the ENTIRE consultation HAS NEVER lasted on excess of hige or take 180seconds - 4 minutes max.
Ooooh you can even so state the milligram and what generic/original/name brand you want. You go out of there with a legal little people piece of paper (6 x monthly repeat as well) so this is quick 20 minute mission to score shit that I can relax for months to come.
An "irrelevant" person in a white coat and having 3 "irrelevant" med school papers against the wall provides me with indoor, air-conditioned access to any array pharmaceuticals I want
Last time I went to a female Doctor, she at least asked what the immediate-release MS Contis IR. was for and I said I feel a headaches on the way. Came back with
- 90 x 10mg Morphine Sulphate IR
- 180 x 10mg Valium HCL tabs
- 60 x 15mg Midazolam HCL tabs
- 120 x 10mg Douglas Methylphenidate IR
- 120 x 2mg Xanor tabs and some anabolic steroids and anorexigenics for a friend.
Hahahahahaha! A doctor gave 90 x 10mg Morphine Sulphate IR tabs to a person for a headache that is still to come, oh my soul. It is so easy to get ANNYTHING you want in sunny South Africa. I love this place.
But obviously, the harder shit like Cathinone HCL, Cocaine, Crystal, Heroin etc. you only get on the street, thusly so aptly-named.
Not me though, I just go into my banks electronic wire-transfer app and make a quick untraceable money pin to the dealer to get on his mobile number which he can withdraw at the ATM and 10-30minutes whala! Pure see-through Crystal magically appeared in my postbox.
