ive been smoking rock for 10 years now, and its amazing to see how the quality and taste differs in different parts of the country. So far, the best shit ive had was from Detroit (What a suprise!, drugs are one of the best parts of visiting Detroit). It has that beautiful, barely cut taste with a very intense ringer as long as you dont end up with the shit thats cut with ambisol. Usually the size is pretty good too, unless somebody trys to pass off a nick for a dime, but that might just be "white tax", if you know what I mean. The stuff I had in N. Carolina is either cut to doom, or nobody knows how to cook it right because its harsh, hurts your lungs, almost never yields a ringer and is in general disappointing, but then again since theres virtually no H down there, I needed something to pass the time besides bud. The stuff I had in New Mexico falls somewhere in the middle and it can give you the nice ringer, but it seems to burn up quick and have no comeback. Then again, maybe they plan to make it like that to keep people coming back, since theres no push. Glass pipes are better in my opinion compared to metal, since you can see where the resin is moving around and you can better set flame to it, but I have had a few sockets that rocked my world. I would think you would be wasting a lot with a big , ass bottle like I seen a picture of earlier in this thread, but then again maybe you use a different technique than me. I definately endorse the technique explained in the first post of the thread. I know theres a way to recook your rock on a spoon and take some cut out of it using water and lighting the spoon, also slowly stirring it, but i always fuck it up , so it would be cool if somebody posted the right way to do it to help us all. I noticed some other drugs you guys mentioned like mdpv, that i have never heard of, so rather than littering this post, ill do some research on my own, but im jealous of you UK guys, it seems like you get a lot of stuff we cant get here in the states. It limits us to our cocaine, but thats not so bad i guess
