A west coasters first time with white powder H

[theebaheeen]

So I just got a stamp bag (.1 g) of some off-white powder from this popular website which im sure most of you know of. Being a west coaster, I was particularly excited.

Pretty much every single time I have tried to get high off of tar, I would smoke like .3 and it would yield the shittiest non-existent high. My tolerance is 30 mg of oxy railed and it has been that way for about 2 years.

Even though it was just .1, i decided to just eye out 1/6th of it and rail it.

Im fucking floored. The shit instantly started hitting me right after it went up my nose. How is this possible that I get .3-5 of tar and consistently get weak shit? Everyone says that tar and powder are generally the same potency on average.

This was just a random stamp from NY, are most stamps like this? Because I am very very convinced that powder takes the cake when it comes to tar vs powder. I'm just so amazed that I got this high from so little.

I have heard that the tar in California is pretty bad compared to other 'tar states.' If you were living in Arizona and getting your tar there then perhaps it would have felt the same as the bag of heroin from NY.

I couldn't tell you if most stamps are like this because I can't compare the stamps that I get to the tar that you get, nor can anyone else for that matter. There is good powder and bad power, good tar and bad tar, and everything in between.

There isn't really anything else to say other than to always do small amounts of a new batch to test it out since the purity of street drugs varies.

Your smoking technique might just suck. Have you tried waterlining it?

I was never that deep in the game, and only used it sporadically, but from my local (suburban) sources, with no-to-low tolerance, it'd take half a bag IV to nod. There was supposed to be better stuff going around, but didn't ever get to try any. Never went out to cop in LA, or even Pomona (well besides once at like 2am) though.

That's funny that you mention Arizona, I was out there recently and a friend had a buddy who sold us a dub. We were relatively close to the border so I assumed it would be fire but after chasing all of it, we got nothing and both of our tolerances is 30 mg oxycodone.

I guess I'm just extremely unlucky lol

I have waterlined many times. Normally I would smoke half of it and in disappointment waterline/plug the rest.

My smoking technique is ok, I dont miss any of the smoke and i hold the lighter far enough from the foil that I dont burn the tar.

Sorry for the double post, I am beyond loaded.

^Oh, I had horrible smoking technique myself, and the people I knew were all IV users (and I was already an IV user when I met them), so I didn't see a point in learning.

P.S. Protip- use edit button to add on to your posts rather than double-posting.

We can only really speculate here. You are doing 2 different forms from 2 different sources (and locations), of unknown potency, by 2 different ROAs.

Aside from the other possibilities, such as your smoking technique isn't getting the most out of tar, or smoking just doesn't work as well as snorting for you personally, or your tolerance has changed, or you consumed something that potentiates heroin, one would assume the most likely one is that that particular dope is just much better than what you usually get. As for whether powder in general tends to be more potent than tar, it totally depends on the region, the source, the batch. Although FWIW I have heard a lot of people say they prefer powder. There is certainly plenty of shitty powder out there as well though. There is no average universal stamp bag quality level.

We don't really cover threads like this in BDD however and I don't think there's much more than can be said, so I'm going to close this so it doesn't just turn into a regional dope quality comparison thread or do you prefer powder or tar thread. Please PM me if you have any questions.
