He said it was alprazolam powder he had, guessing dissolved in PG (although I have dabbed benzo powders on several stupid occasions).
I also took 60 1mg pills not long ago trying to knock myself out (didn't work) and was fucked for two days. Didn't realise at the time.
I dissolved in PG up until it meant drinking excessive amounts of PG (had to use a 1:1 mg/ml ratio as alprazolam is notoriously hard to dissolve). I've seen people do better, but it takes a bit of work and I find it way easier to just go "right, 1ml so that's 1mg" without having to do any maths. By the 330mg point I was weighing it on my MG scales. FTR I was down to about 20-30mg for my last seizure. Had it been 330mg, I'm not sure they would have been capable of administering enough benzodiazepine to stop it.
It's hard to get that 'sweet spot' where you feel the good effects but don't pass out
See that's the thing with me and benzos. They don't make me tired so I can just re-dose indefinitely. I'll black out for sure but I'll just be off somewhere doing stuff, just in a more obviously drug fucked state, & I never do anything that weird (like the horror stories you hear). It's hard to tell if I've just had a few because I get no motor impairment until very high doses. FTR it's called an atypical reaction, or it's a kind of one.
@Tranced - 330mg of Alprazolam??
For real?
They come in 1mg tablets. How did you take 330mg?
Because back when etizolam powder (& all other RC's) were being banned you could still get a variety of benzo powders domestically in this country, inclduding alprazolam powder from Europe. Presumably for all the white xanax bars which were getting popular back when they were still xanax, as there were some very, very reliable clearweb vendors in the EU.
In the days before the ban the deals that the British vendors were doing to clear stock were ridiculous. I'm sure I'd been getting grams of etizolam for £40 in the weeks before anyway, but the last few days were just silly. If I remember rightly we (best mate) bought 3-4 grams of etizolam powder and got two free for less than £100 or something daft; it might have even been as many grams each or cost us both £100, but whatever, anyone who was involved remembers the ridiculousness of the cost at least, even if they don't remember before/during/the aftermath so well.
Anyway a lot of blueligthters/people in general got caught up in it all. I had enough money in the bank to go halfs with my mate so we suddenly had thousands of doses of etizolam each. When you start redosing due to your 'infinite stash', it's very, very easy to start dabbing from the bag to top up your dose and maybe not even remember. Then your next dose doesn't work because your double digitals tolerance just doubled again.
Then, hey presto!! welcome to the world of exponential benzo tolerance!!! Don't worry, take enough and they'll knock you out - unless they don't. 8(
Anyway, those grams lasted about 3-4 weeks, maybe a bit more, then the people still selling on the side ran out. That's when Spanish alprazolam came into play.
I'll turn it into a trip report one of these days. When I get round to it. I've got all the logs etc (or most of them) that I kept on my phone, though some don't make sense (dates/doses messed up/repeated/making no sense etc, entire sections missing).
