Sold in grains not grams? Are you sure you don't mean 1890's? Things haven't been sold in grains (1= 65mg) for a long time.
Early 90's had alot of phenylacetone derived methamphetamine floating around, which yields racemic methamphetamine (d,l-meth). Supposedly it produces a stronger rush than d-meth, though d-meth (ephedrine and pseudoephedrine derived) is the more active compound.
I have not done it for years i always thought the gear be better now with crystal meth about. I was under the impression that the crank we did was weaker then crystal meth .
When I was first doing crank in the early 90s I read about ice in japan and Hawaii I could not wait for it to come to California I was in UK by the time it arrived. Always thought it be way better then the crank in the UK which never really got into it I would call crystal cranks older stronger brother. Takes me back that smell the tear rolling down the face the pain in nose good daysOn paper it absolutely should be. And probably was, for a decade or two.
Unfortunately things began to derail when the DEA decided to take all the Sudafed off store shelves around 2007.
The big cooks all ended up in prison or died. Major Domestic production gradually dried up and mexico took over something like 90% lol
They're cutting a lot of corners to say the least.
China is a huge problem as well. They're shoveling in mounds of different meth look-alike substances and substitute precursors via the internet.
Real methamphetamine could end up being phased out of existance.
Its not looking good long term

I loved the taste the drainage I hated the comedown but eventually learned just carry on for days eventually you would crash and sleep for a few days then start again. I would then wake up hungry as fuck eat loads then start again. I never ended up as one of those you see on the meth posters of before and after. You knew I was a tweaker if you looked under my bed there be radios I had taken apart trying to make the ariel better so I could pick up the rock station from Sacramento or a device I could listen to other people talking far away. I don't miss the paranoia the looking out my bedroom window all night thinking someone hiding behind my old mans semi. But I also had some great times met my girl who my wife now and some fucked up nights with friends.I started out on crank in 2000 or 2001. Multitude of different colors. I'll be honest though, I don't miss it at all lol. The taste, the smell, getting physically sick during the crash, yuck.
I got high as fuck off it, but then again I was new to the drug.
Chinese meth not cut 100% pure d-meth 20 mg will have you going for a full day a point will fry your ass into crazy tweaker mode for at least 2 days but people chase the instant rush so they end up using upwards of a gram a day and going fucking super crazy.
Meth is on another level in south east asia once its uncut mexican meth is dogshit racemic. 90s meth is where pure d meth started getting made in NZ with psudeo ephrine
