^ What do you do with the freebase oil afterwards? I imagine the oil is hard to work with.
I don't always wash it...depends if I can be bothered really as I don't smoke it. I generally just take it orally if I have oil or crush it up and grind it to a powder and insufflate it if I can't be bothered with the wash.
I just can't see why any cook would sell freebase...considering converting the freebase to salt is the easiest and simplest step in the whole preparation. The resulting salt is so much easier to deal with, can be sold at a higher profit and is easier to cut. Freebase is also volatile which means that your losing product (and profits...) to evaporation all the time. Someone has also mentioned this freebase is cheaper than crystal - I don't understand why anyone would choose to keep their methamphetamine in the freebase form and halve their profits when converting it to the salt costs next to nothing and could instantly double profits. Can someone please explain to me what I'm missing here?
Let's just say that I'm close enough to the source that they purchase this "freebase" oil and add 50% quantity of msm. A wet product added to a dry product makes a wet paste and makes it manageable to get into baggies. They don't hold onto it long enough to be concerned with a loss of product. I also get my shards off of the same person and when I do a wash they too are only 50% or less but cost more than double almost triple the price.
i know plenty of people who won't touch "ice" or crystal but won't think twice about using "base" or "speed". surprisingly i've heard this from many dealers.
lower purity product = repeat business generally as well with most speed freaks unsatisfied still chasing that elusive hit.
And it's for this reason that they carry both types however I find that the base is just as strong if not stronger and don't see the point in spending almost triple my money when I don't smoke it. It's only going to get eaten or crushed up and railed so what's the point. I'm not sure if you can smoke it but I couldn't see why not. It's not something that I purchase regularly (maybe once bi-monthly) but have been going to this person for the last 12 years.
At the end of the day it's all about the $$$ for them and they try to get it out on the street as fast as possible. So if they take a few steps less (including not washing the gear after synth to remove the iodine and red phosphorus or what ever it is that leaves it pink) they are making their $$$ quicker. Then they have the so called "Top Shelf" stuff for people who don't want base and prefer chards and are willing to pay the exuberant prices for it.
Just my 2 cents......
