where could i get sodium bicarbonate?
Here in australia they sell it in supermarkets - it's what makes your cakes rise :D .
In america baking soda is more common, which may be just sodium bicarbonate but from memory is sodium bicarbonate and something else.
Anyway both will work, wont taste very nice but is not overly unpleasant. 1-2 teaspoons in a glass of water is enough.
There's an old thread with info on methods of administration, absorption rates and urinary alkalizers
here
I have had great experiences with using antacids or bicarb before taking pills - definitely increased duration, not sure about increased intensity.
The only bad thing is that on 2 occasions I have felt kind of strange (tingly, lightheaded) about 1/2 an hour after drinking the bicarb + water. I put this down to the fact that it's a systemic alkalizer (ie it increases blood pH) and fucking with your blood plasma pH is REALLY not that great for you. oh well, i' use less bicarb now and dont get any probs. When this happened i was drinking 1-2 TABLEspoons which was definitely too much, I was prolly lucky not to get metabloic alkalosis or something nasty.
mollyx: I highly recommend it, it seems to work - a change in duration was clearly noticeable, too distinct to be placebo imo.
dropstop: You needn't be so concerned with systemic alkalinity - although this makes some difference it's the pH of your urine that's most important as this directly affects how much MDMA/Meth ends up being absorbed out of the filtrate and excreted in urine. There's a thread
here with specific info on just how much of a difference pH makes with meth excretion rates.
questionmark: I haven' heard anything about it being necessary to empty your digestive tract and doubt this would make a significant difference.
