Cutting Substances

I don't understand why drug dealers/lords cut their drugs so much (cocaine, heroin, etc.) when they could sell pure/almost pure product for more money and get just as much if not more money than they make when they cut. Are there any reasons for cutting that justify this action that I'm missing? I know that if people weren't aware that they were getting pure product they could very easily kill themselves but this problem could be solved by dealers instructing the buyers on how much to use and I'm sure there are other ways of keeping the users safe too. If dealers were only selling pure product I am certain that they would get more business. For example, most people hate cocaine because the product they get is cut to shit. After one bad experience with cut cocaine they avoid all blow entirely. If cocaine was guaranteed pure I'm sure that most people who usually don't purchase and don't enjoy cocaine because of undesired effects (usually because of the cuts) would buy it more frequently and it just might become one of their favorite drugs. Unfortunately, this is not the case and most/all cocaine is heavily cut and therefore the product and the high it produces usually aren't worth purchasing. If heroin was sold in a pure form it might be less dangerous when IVing and less would be required to safely get a person high. I'm just asking for other people's opinions on the matter and maybe even some info in favor of cutting substances because I personally haven't been able to find any.

Peace
 
Lets say if you have an ounce of coke. You can sell and make some cash. Now lets say you take that ounce of coke and cut it. Now you have two ounces of coke. You can sell it and make twice the amount of cash.
Cutting is just a way to make more money. Bussinness is bussiness so drugs are always going to be cut. The downside to this is that the product works its way down the ladder and is cut by one guy then another and another and your left with shit. Two many greedy fucks out there. I hear whatt your saying though. I and Im sure many others would much rather pay more money for a product that was known as being reasonably pure than a product that was moderatly priced but cut to hell with god knows what.
 
But rather than cutting that ounce of coke perhaps the dealer could just charge more and make just as much money. It'd be expensive, sure, but high-quality product none the less and he would still get a lot of business.
 
Depends on what end of the scale you are at. Some kids just want lots of white powder in their bagies and arent educated enough about the contents- theyll just buy anything.

However further up the food chain, its better to not cut and sell pure as the clientele are looking for gear they can cut themselves to make a profit and dont want pre cut shite.
 
umm well in an area where stuff is known for being a certain purity(heroin is what im talking about). dealers cut just to make sure thier clients arnt overdosing and dying. so if people didnt cut thier shit there would be allot more dead users, not everyone uses drugs safley
 
In my opinion, the ONLY substances which should be cut, or that cutting is acceptable for, are those ultrapotent compounds which simply cannot be safely ingested in pure form, stuff such as the fentanyls and etorphines.
 
As everyone above me mentioned, cutting the drugs increases profit. Each time coke or heroin passes through someone's hands they add an adulterant to it and increase the amount of product they have; therefore increasing their profit. As the level of dealer goes up, so does the complexity of the cuts (again, too many variables, but a nonactive cut would be the most beneficial to the buyer, as opposed to something like ritalin or meth, which has been showing up in seized cocaine shipments coming into the US). Most sensible dealers cut their cocaine with procaine or baby laxative. Great dealers charge a premium and rerock and process the cocaine so that it doesn't include much of any adulterant--for a premium.

Dawg, just think about this

how many drug users aint on this board and aint even got a computer??? do you realize how much big business goes on in the ghetto

it aint as simple as "better quality higher price" this aint th hippy circle where kids are willing to pay 400 dollars for a oz of bud because its blueberry or whatever

straight up, there is more money when you cut. and also what you are saying bout "oh well the dealer should just tell them how to safely do their drugs" got me laughin my ass off.

obviously you are either very idealisitc or very naieve to the drug scene other than a well-off, educated, people actually giving a shit about that info one

not to say you are stupid im just saying, shit its a nice thought, but it dont work like that

your theory is very specific to a certain market that it would work for but that is far from even close to being a large percentage of the whole market, and in the rest of it that idea woudl fall flat on its face

anyways if you think dealers aint offering pure (or pure enough) product then look again, you just aint high enough up or got good enough connections

the one thing that always has and always will be true about the drug game and remains the one truth you can really count on in this is:
its all about who you know
 
"obviously you are either very idealisitc or very naieve to the drug scene other than a well-off, educated, people actually giving a shit about that info one"

I'm actually smart about who I purchase drugs from and therefore always do business with decent people. Every dealer I've ever bought from has been very helpful and kind, yes, it probably has something to do with the thickness of my wallet but so what? I wasn't expecting hostility for such simple question/discussion.

We don't all have that luxury (yes, it is a luxury). Some of us are forced to buy off the street simply because we don't have friends who sell the drugs we use.
 
Dawg if you read after, i said "aint callin you stupid"

i was just saying, seems like you in a padded, sealed off drug environment where people pay for quality and its all nice like that but thats a different world to most people round here and everywhere

Lets put it to you like this,
people in the hood dont go out and buy a fine vintage bottle of wine when they wanna get drunk. they go to the store and get a 40

same shit

this is most peoples mentality cuz theres alot of whiteboy (and black and chinese or whatever) but rich kid drug users who do that shit. "i only get the best and im willing to pay top dollar for that"

and they tend to think or assume that the rest of the game is like that too and just dont get it why other people aint the same way

thats all man nothin against you

^^^Couldn't of said it better....homie:D.
But seriously why question someone's dialect especially when the content of the composition is intelligent and sensible.
My guess is because that is how she talks normally, makes sense. Either way it doesn't matter she got her point across in a manner that most people can relate to. (ex. 40oz vs a nice italian red wine). Why do you type the way you do?
