I don't know. Could be, if the skag was pure. Which it isn't. And never has been. And never will be. As far as I'm concerned pure H is a hypothetical. And I'll go with the information the lovely nurses at my Methadone clinic told me until given a proper contradicting source by you.

this says they're equipotent so I guess we were both wrong. sorry about the harsh tone, I was in a fucked up mood. Also pure diacetylmorphine is not theoretical. In Germany it's used as a substitution when both methadone and buprenorphine have failed and in the UK it's used in palliative care. I know that there are other European countries e.g. Switzerland and the Netherlands where it's used in either or both capacities. Also I once read a manual on Erowid on how to purify which didn't seem too difficult if you had the chemicals, chemistry skills amd equipment necessary.
Now it's time for another shot of my highly impure skag.
