How safe is it to buy RCs from online vendors

I have begun to consider purchasing RCs online due to their limited availability otherwise. However, the last thing I want is for my brain to fall out as a result of a substance that has been adultered. What are your thoughts on this?
 
If you're buying anything on-line, you risk them not delivering, selling your info, etc.

There have been some mix ups where a much more potent chemical was sent instead of the desired one. But most of the time if you titrate your doses slowly you should be relatively safe.
 
Hi Washingtonbound, welcome to Bluelight. Unfortunately I don't really think your question is suitable for Basic Drug Discussion but I'll ask the other mods what they think and if there is possibly another area of the site it would be ok in. I'm going to lock the thread in the meantime.

Also we can't advise you whether or not to buy drugs on the internet. Buying RCs online is taking very real risks. I'm not sure if you were hoping for people to talk you out of it or convince you to do it...
 
So I talked to other BDD mods and we think it's ok for this thread to remain as long as there is absolutely no discussion of specific vendors. It's ok if you just want to discuss the risks of purchasing RCs online and possible ways to protect oneself.

*reopened*
 
I have been buying RCs online for years. The game has changed a lot though, lots of the best vendors are in jail or have disappeared.

It is a riskier business now a days. I have never been sold bunk stuff or anything that was mislabeled, etc.

To note, I've personally tried over 40+ different drugs.

This is all I'm going to warn you about. It's relatively safe (and IMO most of the time safer than buying off the streets) if you know the RIGHT vendors. But I can't help you with that part. Good luck with whatever you decide.
 
How safe? How long is a string.

These drugs come from Chinese labs, not subject to codes nearly as rigorous as those in the US. There is no way to know when your synth got botched, leaving to with BAD side effects.

I haven't heard many complaints from orders, but then again, that's no surprise. I doubt most of those people would be willing to come forward.

That aside, I have heard of many successful orders.
 
Even if you have a vendor who personally sends his products out for lab testing, people can still make mistakes.
Orders can still be accidentally mislabeled, enveloped accidentally addressed to the wrong client, etc.
Always always always take a half mg test dose (unless you're ordering NBOMe's)
As well for any substance you haven't tried before, always take a fraction of the threshold dose as an allergy test.
And this may be obvious for most here but always use a scale or an equally accurate method of measuring doses ie. volumetric dosing
 
Without divulging my particular vender: if it sounds like a chain of islands, it is quite reputable. Some others are quite sketch though.

Generally speaking though, use prepaid visas to buy everything. You won't be a victim of identity theft if there is no identity to steal.
 
After ordering RCs for years, some notes on both good and bad aspects:


BAD - been burned twice. $$$ was the most. It hurt. Very angry, but nothing could be done. Send money to bloody poland or china with no guarantee of anything, and you either get back some shit which is A) poor quality, B) toxic and dangerous shit, C) less than you paid for, OR you don't get anything and they won't re-send. What are you gonna do?! What recourse do you have?!


BAD - variable quality of substances. MXE is a good example for this issue. Ordered from different places and got all kinds of shit which behaved in different ways. Some batches three times stronger than previous ones. Woops. Some clearly NOT MXE at all.... some weird, dirty, unenjoyable, heavy, confusing, dissociative thing, which left one with a sick feeling as having ingested something toxic (which is probably exactly what hapened).


BAD - Mis-labelling (as mentioned above, can be fatal) or in one case, NO LABEL AT ALL. Also, a couple of times "free sample included" which I didn't ask for and is very illegal in my country. Thanks!! I would never have ordered that in a million years knowing how hot it is and how much trouble I could get for it - even a small amount. Just give me what I paid for.


GOOD - there are reputable, professional, closed (ie. invite only) vendors out. These rare few are precious: reliable, reasonable price, consistent, honorable. It takes time to find these because they operate on trust and are not simply out to make as much money as possible. I have had access to substances which are sold as medications here, which I would never have been able to afford, or would have been denied a script from a doctor.


All up: It's a big, big risky game ordering RCs online. I doubt that many people who order RCs online then go on to actually have their stuff independently analysed, verified, etc. So, really, you're placing a lot of trust in people you don't know and most of whom are operating for fast profit. However, all things considered, I have had worse experiences buying drugs on the street than I have buying RCs online.

Mind you, I've been buying and using for many years now, and have seen the ins and outs of various scenes. Whether it's online, or in real life, it's the same old story: it comes down to who you know and how much you trust them.

Try and get in on a RC community/forum if you can. Always good to have feedback on a vendor before you try it, this way you minimise the chances of anything negative happening.
 
If you are wise with your Gogle search & live in the UK you will find a board that has open vendor reviews but I had a falling out with the admin over a TR & am banned so I won't be pushing traffic to that witches board.

It's a up & down thing in the world of RC's, you have to keep in mind these are what it says in the name Research Chemicals, if your UK based watch the show on channel 4 website called getting high legally & listen to what Doctor Z has to say.

I've had some terrible stuff in the past from Vendors but over time you find a few gem's hidden in the rough, I wish you luck on your quest :)
 
I've started trying some of these drugs. Just take precautions, research feed back of any company on an objective RC site. Careful tho some of these forums receive bunce from vendors for positive reviews I believe. Emailing the company's helps I find, if their professional and knowledgeable about their products that's a good sign.

Most importantly start off with a small test sample! Don't make my mistake, I ordered 20gs of synthetic cannabis. The chems did exactly what is says on the tin...lets just say I've still got most of it practically untouched
