Loved Up vs. Fucked Up.
or
Reasons We Get So Many Shite Speedbombs.
I conducted a bit of a survey last night as I meandered through the city parties that I attended. Most of the people I chose to speak to were either fairly obviously (to me) rolling their arses off, or looking to get rid of pills somehow. Initially, my survey was for my own curiosity, to see what pills were around, and what was getting good and bad reviews. However, after about the first 45 minutes of talking to people, I began to see a trend which I found a little distasteful, but also a little revealing about the state of business in Melbourne. As has been mentioned previously in the "Mini Pillreport" thread, there are a lot of different speedbombs going around Melbourne at the moment (and I guess everywhere else too), and this steady flow of business is periodically flushed with a batch or two of quality MDMA pills that come and go within a week or two at a time.
While chatting to people this weekend, I noticed that the majority were either on, or trying to offload, speedbombs. Some pills discussed were either what I suspected or knew to be speedbombs, and others I had never heard of, or sounded dodgy and the person did not look to be experiencing MDMA. The disturbing trend, however, was that everyone seemed to have a completely opposite view to myself. The people who were on speedy pills seemed content that they had value for their money and were happily fucked up and charging away. The people who actually got good pills, and I'd have expected to be euphorically enjoying themselves, were looking mopey and whinging about being "sm**ked out".
I mean, forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what they paid for? Shit, put down good money for good MDMA, it does its job, and you have a great night... that's what I thought the objective was. But no, it appears that the majority of people that I spoke to (mostly in and around Cage/Billboards) were more interested in their "dancey" speedbombs and getting fucked up. It's no wonder that the market is flooded with shite bickies when that's what the clientele are demanding.
I said to a few people "why don't you just get some speed instead of paying so much for a pill which is basically just speed anyway?" to which many and varied responses, including "Nah man, speed doesn't work on me", "I get nausea from speed", and "No way, I'm not getting addicted to that shit" (!). I guess I should have expected that, but up until last night I really hadn't taken into account just how many people go out and eat any pill they can find, just hoping to have their head rush for a few hours so they can dance without getting tired. To the people on good pills, when I gave a smile and said "oh that must be a relief, how lucky for you" they were more likely to frown and tell me "yeah having an OK night but I got a shitty pill that has really sm**ked me out, I can't dance", or "*sigh* oh well bad luck I'm just really tired, I might see if I can get some of those cool question marks, and turn my night around". *boggle* Do they know they're taking MDMA? I suppose I seemed rude when I accidentally laughed out loud, in people's faces, when they told me they thought their bickies had heroin in them because they couldn't dance, or that they were on a 'cokey' pill.
Is it access to quality information on Bluelight that turns one into an MDMA-snob so quickly, or can one become a kind of connoisseur of ecstacy simply because they refuse to take anything other than confirmed purple/black testing, quality pills? I guess it could come back to money too, because no matter what you do, you're being ripped off, but personally I don't see the benefit in paying 35-50 dollars for a pill that doesn't contain MDMA... and a simple EZ or E test is so easy to do.
It would be really nice, just for once, to see people being loved up and having fun on MDMA for a while, instead of seeing the aggro speedy people's frowns combined with the mopey downturned people who don't know MDMA if it falls in their lap.
No wonder there are so many shit pills around.
