Clean & Pure!?

[Gaz_hmmmm]

Why is it that cartels and dealers prefer to sell cut drugs for cheap than pure drugs for higher prices?

I'd prefer to be more money to get drugs that were 99% pure!

Is it just people along the way cutting them trying to increase profit? Which could be done easily if they just charged more for a more purer product I'm sure. Look at RC's, they seem pure and people tend to go for the companies that are selling pure no matter the price!

I sometimes hear in the news from the cops that some 'new super pure' heroin has hit the streets and will most likely kill aload of addicts, do cartels/big international dealers take this into consideration and think "We best cut it otherwise we're killing the custom and they won't come back for more!" ??

You can never guarantee that something you get from a dealer is pure.
Besides, many dealers like to say their pills are 100% or at least pretty good.

It would be great, in theory, yes. But how can you tell that the more expensive ones are better?
I guess it kind of depends on your dealer too

i used to get coke that my dealer said was 90% pure, but i tried it and it felt like 100% pure, but idk about heroin, that shit gets cut to shit with some dumb shit to stick your veins, like crushed cinnamon (im speaking from experience on that, i bought a bag thta was cut with fucking cinnamon and brown sugar) and some other stuff that you dont even wanna know about. heroin is never pure, in my experience, because heroin dealers are wayyyy too caught up in making a lot of profit to give people pure shit. the stuff cops are talking about is probably fentanyl, which is also not a great thing to get in a bag of dope (it's as potent as LSD, if not more).

Cause people would be OD'ing like crazy, I would think

I'm pretty sure the starting 'manufacturer' sells it 2 person A (almost) pure. That person steps on it some to increase volume but still have it mostly pure and then everyone down the line steps on it more just so they'll have more of it 2 sell. People would be od'ing like crazy if it was pure pure and ya.. Also u got figure the sterotypical "junkie" is poor and such so they won't be able 2 buy higher cost/quality. Its basically quantity over quality. They make more $ selling LOTS of cheap than a fair amount of expensive.

Say what?! LOL

Personally I'm sick of spending $600+ a month on hydro weed. I'd buy schwag if I could find it! But I can't.

It's not the same as the purity issue, but I'd be satisfied with less buzz for less money. I just smoke too much out of habit.

Where I am from Ketamine is probably the biggest drug of abuse... people say it is 'the dogs bollocks' referring to its purity but it has nothing on the 'proper Ketamine' that we used to get.
Not as many people take MDMA but it is normally very pure and almost always in crystalline form.

Why do you think it is like this?
Both of these drugs are readily accessible...

My opinion is that it is because a lot of people around here are 'addicted' to Ketamine. No matter how low the purity gets they will still buy it if they can not find any better K that day. In my area most people only use MDMA on special occasions or at raves... if they were wishing to purchase some MD and it didn't look all that they would most probably give it a miss, purely because of the fact they don't 'need' it and will wait until they find somebody else that has some better quality stuff.

Drug cartels do not typicaly cut drugs, they move that shit and sell it in large quantities. Lower level drug dealers, people that probley deal on the street are the ones that often cut drugs. I have cut drugs for the simple reason that the drugs/Heroin was to strong/pure. I cut it for the reason that it would be too much for people other wise. It was still almost too strong for alot of people and the next time it had to be cut even more....drugs change hand afew times before they are cut; people that are sitting on weight do not cut what they have, it would be much to labor intensive. Drugs are cut when they go to the street not typically before

If you sell a gram of pure coke for 100 dollars, you make a 100 dollars. If you sell 2 grams of 50% purity coke, you make 200 dollars. I don't like it either but that's how it goes.

 

[DooMMooD]

lol...im SURE drug dealers would LOVE to sell less drugs for more profit.

The problem is most crackheads/junkies can barely scrape together 5-10$ for their next fix, let alone 100$....

I'm sure youd rather buy better/more expensive drugs at this point in your using career. I said the same thing, shit thats why i stuck to pills (near guaranteed quality, less needed of opana, etc). eventually though, it gets hard to have 50-100$ daily/multiple times a day when you could buy a shitty bag of skag. Then again though THAT doesn't stay much cheaper for too long either.

The point is a lotta users cant afford what you want to do....Once you get a few years under your belt of HARDCORE abuse (meaning where your entire existence revolves around drugs/your next fix) you'll be begging to find that cheap 10$ bag of skag so you can feel OK just for a little bit, until you can afford more you see.

And no ones going to pay 10$ for .001 of pure heroin, but they'll prob pay 10$ for .05-.1 of some cut shit. The mind is a powerful tool, so what appears a fatter bag could convince someone they'll get higher. We all know thats bullshit but if you were dope sick, down to 10$ and had the choice between that .001 or .1 of some riskier stuff, im almost POSITIVE you'd take the larger bags in the hopes that "its all REALLY dope man, it aint that cut bullshit this shits strong y0!"

Not to MENTION you effectively double your profits. People are going to pay that 10$ a bag whether its FIRE or absolute shit, so why sell 100# bags of .05 when you could sell 200# of .05 and make 2x as much $, ripping your custies off in the process? Hard for a lotta peopel to say no to that idea...

Idk what someones syaing, but people high up the ladder DEFINITELY CUT DRUGS AS WELL Sell 1 kilo of heroin or 2 (cut ones) for the same investment/same price of each...double your $ or dont? Who WOULDN"T do that?

Say what?! LOL

what do you mean? typical LSD dose is 150mcg, typical fentanyl dose is around the same, probably less, but it's cut way way way way a lot as it would be impossible to measure, but you can't evenly distribute it in a powder so people die all the time. don't fuck with fentanyl.

i against i! Sorry I guess I misunderstood what he was saying. I thought he meant something along the lines of LSD being as 'strong' as fent and I was thinking like, fent can easily KILL you but I don't think acid can. my bad mayne!! Sorry Bigfan!
