I do realize the importance of a lab test, and I did read the post you mention, but the effect profile and potency/weight of good speed bought from different sources being the same, with the crap stuff I've had being instead different under all aspects, I would say that it is highly likely that some good speed vendors still exist. This is just anecdotal ofcourse.
A strange thing I've noticed is that whatever caffeine they cut speed with is somehow ridiculously more potent and psychoactive than a coffee. I drink a lot of coffee and I make it very strong, to the point it doesn't even really work any more. Last year me and my friend bought some speed and got drunk, and it seemed ridiculously strong. We snorted our way through a gram and ended up being up right through the next day unable to sleep and stimmed/wired to fuck. I got it lab tested at wedinos and it was 100% pure caffeine powder.
The weird thing is that I took a sample dose of 20mg and it felt like speed, and I was gurning/rushing about doing loads of stuff I'd been putting off etc. Apparently a cup of coffee is 70–140 mg. I've tried replicating this experience with huge amounts of coffee and even excess amounts of pro plus and it just 100% isn't the same. I'm sure I've read that there are different forms of caffeine, perhaps different isomers or whatever, and they are more active. My point being, I got fooled and I'm a caffeine addict. According to wedinos 95%+ of UK speed is at the very least contaminated with caffeine, and for some reason it is noticeably more active than what we usually think of as caffeine.
Seriously, anybody with base: send some off to wedinos, I'm interested to see. I've just sent off some 4f-methylphenidate and I'm interested to see if there's a cut. Caffeine is demonstrably a notoriously common cut with stims... and it works. Aside from synergy, like I say it seems noticably more active in its own right than you expect it to be.
Pro Plus is only 50mg caffeine, you sure it wasn't just placebo mate? Like you were taking a pill so in your mind you expected it to be stronger.

I'm talking about taking 6 - 8 at a time mate. And when I say 'more drug like' I just mean not as natural feeling as the stimulation from coffee - though I can't say I've had anything like the same experience from pro plus as Tranced did on his caffeine powder.
My go to off the shelf boost these days is a coffee called 'rocket fuel' which is high in caffeine and guarana.

I've certainly found that pro plus is much more drug like than the equivalent dose of caffeine in coffee. Perhaps their are other substances in coffee that temper caffeine's stimulant effects? Plus you were snorting it so that must hit harder. Did you enjoy it though? I can drink as much coffee as I like and not get wired, but boshing pro plus ends up feeling quite uncomfortable for me.
I definitely believe you and as someone who’s done some heavy experimentation with a wide variety of caffeine products, I believe your theory has potential.
Tranced have you done 99.9% pure caffeine before? I have and indeed it was very different from even like no doz tablets. The only thing is that it wasn’t long lasting, but highly euphoric which lasts for an hour or two. The pure caffeine I’ve tried was potent, highly euphoric but shorter acting (taken orally) by a long shot. But if batches vary I could see some longer acting stuff out there.
So caffeine batches can vary but MDMA can’t?![]()
All I'm saying is that for me personally, MDMA is the same as it's always been, and I'm seeing a lot of conflicting ideas in that thread for what MDMA 'should' be. Some people think it should have you up and energised and chatty, some people think it should have you lying floored in a mess.
I only ever did pro-plus once but it was as a late teenager and we'd gone to see our friends have their day in court...
...I was so wired i got taken to the cells underneath the court for a few hours for heckling the magistrates for being harsh on an 80 year old shoplifter...didn't get to see my mates sentenced.
I honestly think this is more about set and setting than anything else. Yes I know that term is usually applied to psychedelics which MDMA is not, but the subjective experience of any drug is influenced by those factors. I've been monged out and I've been running about energetic from different seshes on the same batch of MDMA.
