I got a question since living in California all we get is tar out here. I was just wondering is tar a base or hcl or what?
 
Tar could be 100% Heroin, depending on what your definition of Heroin is. The only difference between tar and powder is that the Mexican drug cartels who cook the stuff skip a step in the traditional Burmese/Afghan manufacturing methods. The end result for both, black tar and brown or white powder, is Heroin #4. Going from memory, Heroin #1 is brown Opium scraped off the poppy pods, Heroin #2 is removal of non-Morphine alkaloids from the Opium/water mixture, Heroin #3 is purified Morphine base, Heroin #4 is the result of acetylized Morphine with,usually, acetic anhydride, Diacetylmorphine. The Mexicans go from step 2 to step 4. They collect Opium, add water, acetic anhydride (or another acetylizing agent) and heat, and the end result is still Heroin #4, it just looks like, black tar.

In that sense, the powder Heroin is 'purer' than the tar. However, the tar Heroin is not cut with other inert or active substances for bulk or effect. The tar Heroin you get on the street is the same tar Heroin that was collected at the end of a cook, it hasn't been stepped on. The powder on the street is going to be cut with other substances, lactose mannitol vitamins etc. In that sense, tar is 'purer'.

If you consider 3-MAM, 6-MAM and Morphine as well as acetylized Opiate alkaloids to be Heroin, then tar can be 100% pure. If you are looking for straight Diacetylmorphine only as being Heroin, it will be much lower. This doesn't mean anything though in terms of potency or subjective effect, as a mix of the above chemicals will provide a rush and high with little difference from straight Diacetylmorphine.
 
Tar is heroin that was processed with out the acetic anhydride and like the other person said they skip a step in the traditional process.But tar can be cut!! The dealer just gets the tar in a semi melted form and uses some "cut" that is in liquidish form and they add the two together and put them into the freezer to harden up.Thats one way i have seen tar cut.But tar can be very pure in terms of the amount of heroin but there are still unprocessed morpine alkaloids in tar that makes you high also when it is smoked.Check out the Vaults of erowid and find out more about it if you want.Be careful if you inject tar because it is resinous and will damage the veins quicker than powder heroin,depending on what cut is in powder heroin of course.
 
Alright I just got one more question, is it possible to do anything to tar to make it snortable?I know you can dissolve it and snort it like that. Other people say to grind up DPH pills with the tar. With my basic knowledge I don't think thats legit and would only be useful for cutting it.
 
^^^ I don't have experience with tar, but have obviously read up on it from post on BL. From what I have read, if you sniff mexican tar even in powder form, it clumps up in the nose, which decreases the surface area of the membranes that it can effect, making it less effective.

YES, you can "snort" it.
You can use either a syringe with the needle completely removed, or one of those nasal spray bottles.
Add approximately 25-45 cc's of cold water to the spoon with tar, cook it up like normal, add the cotton, draw it up. Lay on a bed so that your head completely hangs off the side. Squirt the solution into your nose, and wait for five minutes, to assure it completely dissolves.

This is very uncomfortable, for about thirty seconds. I think it's a better way to administer tar than shooting, in my opinion :\
