So I’m curious for others to list substances that they prefer more crude/whole vs concentrated forms... I’ll give some examples of my own.
Cannabis- I personally prefer whole cannabis flower over concentrates like shatter/wax/etc. The high is more full and rounded, plus the other active components help reduce tolerance build when switching between strains.
Alcohol- Distilled spirits over beer, wine, cider, etc. My favorite being triple distilled Jameson. Beer and wine give me hangovers that are far from proportional to the high I received. I can drink 1 beer, not even get a buzz and wake up the next day with a nasty hangover.
MDxx- Purity is king here too, crude impure as fuck “sass” is nowhere near as good as ultra pure MDxx shards.
Mescaline- This is one I prefer crude. Cacti tea has more of empathogenic lovey experience that is more rounded, purified alkaloids are a bit “sharper” and can sometimes lack that love in comparison. That said a crude extract is the best of both worlds, which can be reconstituted in a small amount of h20 and drank as a shot.
Kratom- Kratom Leaf has never done much for me, only the high potency extracts have given me an effect worth noting. (I do have an opioid tolerance FYI). One extract in particular was from Da Maeng and sold as a substance with a 150mg oral dose. 20-50mg of that sniffed up the nose gave a very pleasant stimulation followed by opiate sedation a few hours later.
Caffeine- Crude forms such as coffee are much more pleasurable than pure caffeine. While pure caffeine is probably the most euphoric in comparison, it’s short lasting and again lacks the full rounded feel of coffee or tea. Also the act of drinking a nice warm beverage with a beautiful aromatic flavor greatly outweighs consuming pure caffeine.
Psilocybin Mushrooms- They’re are potent enough as is and any extraction loses a decent amount of potency in comparison.
Heroin- Pure diacetylmorphine HCl is WAY better than impure black tar forms. Both because of higher purity but also because the other alkaloids can detract away from the pleasurable high. That said these same alkaloids can increase sedation and analgesia if these are desired.
Cocaine- High purity cocaine over coca leaf. That said they are so different from each other that they almost feel like different drugs. But if I had to choose one.
That’s it for right now but will add more as I think of em, so how bout ya’ll?

if they were all readily available at any amount I would probably never take another street drug again.
