@Hammilton:
So you don't have any confirmation. It's - as i expected - just a theory of yours, which is not disproven yet.
PS:
Seeing discussions on RCs appearing on the market isn't a proof. No matter what timing...
Talking to 'vendors' who tell amazing things isn't a proof.
Thinking to be right is not a proof.
If talking to a vendor who confirms that they obtained their ideas from these forums isn't proof for you, there's very little point in you discussing anything here, since you've set the bar beyond reason.
In the US the standard for proof in criminal trials is beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil action, it's the preponderance of the evidence, so basically >50% to express it mathematically.
To apply either standard to the discussion here, the claim that forums are being used for inspiration is satisfactorily proven.
If you want to believe that these people have independently researched these compounds in university libraries, you're welcome to, but that's not what the evidence indicates- especially when we have vendors who have confirmed in private.
As you ought to be aware, naming vendors here is strictly verboten, and I'm not going to break the rule to name those that I have direct experience with.
I know many of us (I can think of at least 4) here have direct experience with vendors, it kind of comes with the territory. Of the two vendors I actually know, both *were* members and derived ALL of their knowledge from here. They were both idiots whose only special ability was the ability to come up with a decent amount of money to have kilos of dimethocaine, 3-MeO-PCP, Mephedrone, and DXM made up at a time. With that list you can probably figure out who they were, because I don't think many still sell DXM and not many have added dimethocaine yet. One disapeared when he added "methedrone" to his catalogue, and I've not heard from him in almost a year. No one will miss his idiotic posts though.
I don't like saying this much, really, and I understand why the others aren't saying what they know, since I believe they're closer to the vendors they know than I ever was.
It's kind of a moot point though. I know that I'll never post an experience report for a novel substance in public again, though.
