It's very unlikely it's freebase methamphetamine. For one thing, freebase is very volatile so you'll lose actual methamphetamine very quickly as soon as it's exposed to air (even in a baggie). I have seen a lot of commercial 'wet' methamphetamine and without fail it has been cut meth - usually with leftover solvent - never freebase. I have only ever heard of freebase methamphetamine being used by cooks as a novelty. That's not to say it doesn't get around, but I think it is very unlikely that's what you have (not impossible). I can't imagine any cook selling it as such, not only are they losing weight on their product every second it's out, but it's also harder to use (and sell in most cases) - plus, converting meth into its hcl salt is probably the easiest step of the whole synth. I can't imagine why anyone would stop when they had freebase, unless they wanted to try it as a novelty.
I agree with all of this.
You could try eating some, as freebase isn't water soluble so eating it should have no effect (whereas if it's just cut, it should still work orally).
I don't agree with this. Once it hits the stomach the HCl in the stomach will acidify it and absorption will be no problem. A drop in a small amount of water will not dissolve, so this could be tried.
Freebase will simply never be seen outside of a "lab" making the drug. Assuming a decent manufacture of 90%, 1ml of freebase oil, which is a tiny amount to be playing with, is just over a GRAM of near pure meth-HCl. Meth in that form would be frankly dangerous.
I tried to find the original post which started the discussion about this mystery substance that was gluggy but good. I hope I have that correct. I think meth is meant to be hygroscopic but the way most crystals are formed means they are sufficiently saturated with water molecules that they don't have this property. However, one time I obtained some excellent meth, which was very clear and had relatively small but properly formed crystals. In those days I crushed my meth, cut it 1:1 with glucose and snorted it, which is what I did with this stuff. After crushing, which was a disastrous idea, the powder started to become gluggier and gluggier, to the point where eventually it was a wet mess, like the sort of solvent filled stuff that people call "base". I was gobsmacked.
I doubt this was something it was cut with. The gear was too good for that. However, it is possible to produce meth-HCl crystals in anhydrous conditions, and if this occurred then it is likely that the resulting crystals would be far more hygroscopic, especially if crushed, which is not advised.
So that is one theory. If it smokes particularly nicely, doesn't leave a residue and is not too harsh then this could be it. I would be pretty cautious about vaporising meth which is in the sticky form containing solvent. You may want to put it in the oven first on a plate at about 90 degrees.
I know someone who has seen thouands upon thousands of lab results for seized meth, from tiny amounts to huge amounts. Purity varies widely. Some small amounts can be very high. Some jokers are running around peddling kilograms at 10%, which is baffling. A large seizure of 60 to 70% was described as some of the highest quality likely to be found. There is no doubt higher purities can be seen, 70 to 90%, but these were very rare and I suspect many of the smaller ones were from people washing their product as opposed to getting it completely uncut. This person has never seen a seizure that had the purity at over 90%. Purity has improved in recent years, after it went downhill.
I don't think these days you can ever be sure until you try it, which is not good at all. I certainly find marquis reagent helps though. People forget to use it for gear. Crush up a small amount if it is in ice/rock form and test with marquis. High purity meth-HCl will go very, very quickly to orange/brown. Weak gear, including gear that is cut with these insoluble cuts that we have recently been talking about, will not change colour quickly or much at all. It is preferable to crush a representative sample, perhaps a couple of points, and mix that up before testing a tiny amount.
I use marquis more for gear than pills these days.
