17 year user here. NY / CO / AZ :
My understanding from talking to high level handlers: tar is from MX, powder Columbia.
There is an agreement b/w the two collections of cartels. ECP stays E of Mississippi and tar west.
Only place I’ve even heard of both, and tar was in the minority, was NOLA (New Orleans) and that was still mostly powder.
S. AZ bth in mid 00s was and may still be Da bomb. Smokes, waterlines, plugs, shoots - all ROAs possible, pass on oral of course.
Discrete IN use or to carry IV doses ready to go, put a g in a visine bottle with bacteriostatic saline (not sterile after handling but better than tap water) and drop in nose or load a clean rig through a cotton on tip of bottle or in cap. Not great HR, but sometimes we do our best when we have to travel. Use as needed, refrigerate any unused within the day or it turns to 6mam, and with time/heat morphine. That = histamine reaction for many. And less potency once down to morphine. I don’t know the relative potentcy of 6MAM (essentially half reacted morphine, one acetyl group is added to morphine the second not, 6MAM you could refer to as simply monoacetylmorphine.)
Some reasearch I did many years ago indicated that heroin once through the liver is MAM... not sure if that is true, if so doesn’t matter that much with the initial rush as we don’t use oral ROA
At the end of my every day use I was up to 0.5 - 1.0 g/day IV habit. It required 190-mg methadone to cover! Stuff was super pure, but contained a bit of 6MAM and morphine, but rarely, I knew by the level of itch.
Very consistant quality, when I had a connect that bought from a guy who didn’t or wouldn’t speak English. Mexican guy, wouldn’t let me see him. I had to leave the room when he came to deliver. I digress....
The best was actually brown powder, dark brown, that turned to tar with heat (ballon in mouth = tar, kept cool = powder.). Once turned to tar only way I could return it to powder was freezing it, allowing it warm up without condensation and cutting it with razor.
Didnt’t need to do that though.
Back then I was getting - tested by DEA and local prosecutors as - 80 - 90+% purity.
Cut stuff was usually done by over cooking coffee down to a tar consistancy and mixing it. If it smelled like coffee no buy. Vinegar odor = a bit under refined but better quality. The top shelf stuff has an indecsribable odor - slight vinegar (acetic anhydride to be accurate) and a slight opium odor.
I miss that stuff.
If you’re a true diacetylmorphine connoseur your best bet is going to Tucson, El Paso or San Diego for a vacation.
Ahhhh... the old days.
Be safe east coasters. Be safe regardless, bth should be micron filtered for certain.
