Thanks for the responses, everyone.
I still haven't made a solid decision yet, I'm still just considering things. I've responded to most posts here... and the ones I left out I only did because I feel that what I would say is already covered here.
Too much misinformation in that scenario. So no. Actually, my days of just winging it with psychedelics are pretty much over. I'm glad I made it through basically intact. It becomes harder and harder to justify taking those chances -- especially when I don't even know what chances I'm taking. I like to know what's going in, what to expect, etc. In fact, I'm most comfortable with doing things like extracting mescaline myself from our friendly cacti. That said, plenty of RCs have passed these lips. Those days may be dawning ... IDK?
I definitely find everyone's attitude towards this subject interesting. No judgments...
That's the way I've felt in the past about the ecstasy market, being lucky that I came out of it alive. (And I wouldn't even say entirely intact....) I've never been too worried about buying blotters for that reason though just because for most of my drug use I've had a rule of never taking more than one dose of them the first time around, and even before I had that I never took more than two. I definitely get the wanting to know exactly what you're taking though. Lately I've been feeling the same way, about just going natural... well, except for identified tryptamine RCs, which would be too hard for me to pass up.
No I would not take a blotter of unknown composition. I wouldn't take a pill that that was sold as MDMA without testing it either. The worst potential outcome is not a 2 day DOx trip, it is death.
I don't fully agree with this attitude... not the testing part, but the death part. People don't sell things that will kill you with one dose. All you have to do is be smart about taking it, not take like five hits the first time you try it, and I never take things that I haven't known people to take before me anyway. And I wouldn't mind at all about a two day trip... in fact, that would be fantastic. I wouldn't dose unless I had that much time to spare to begin with.
Considering bromo-dragonfly was circulated pretty heavily last year on the West Coast.... No, absolutely not, even not knowing there could be bromo on it I wouldn't... I *loathe* the inability to titrate doses, the anxiety of wondering just how much of what I just took is far too much for me to handle and invariably produces a bad trip. Now, back in the day, as a kid? Sure, put some paper in my mouth, I like hallucinations... Being older and wiser, fuck no. You dose it and let me watch you, then I might...
I know trustworthy people who weigh less than I do and dosed higher than I would who have already taken it, though. And I have plenty of things like GABAergics and vasodilators sitting around the house in case something goes wrong, and I'll always have someone there with me.
I know this wasn't *really* the point of what you were saying, too... but I would LOVE if it was bromo-dragonfly. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I knew for sure that that's what it was. That drug has been SO demonized.... The 2009 incident was tragic, but it was with a bad, mislabeled batch, and people were taking massive doses. There have been reports of bromo-dragonfly use before and after that at proper doses and with good sources that have good perfectly fine, and I can think of at least one specifically where the person reported strong acid-like visuals and a clear mindset typical of phenethylamine derivatives and said they would recommend it for something like a long nature walk or music festival, which is exactly what I would save it for.
Heh, DMT isn't orally active, so there'd be no point putting it on blotter...
Yeah, I thought I'd heard it all when it came to overselling blotters but apparently not hahaha.
Don't buy blotters in person if you've not been around the block.
Actually, never buy blotter in person if you can help it.
Avoid anyone trying to "lace" their blotters with ANYTHING.
...Just a few bullet points to take into the future.
Edit: (for the online people)
If you get blotter do a regeant test before consuming.
Really research your source, his/her customers, and the currently intellect-driven status quo as per that is concerned.
If it's your first time with unknown material maybe do it in public or at home with a sober friend.
I have been around the block though. And I've bought lots of blotters without ever having any significant problems, aside from getting paper with nothing on it. Also, I don't actually believe that they laced anything on to it... the DMT thing was clearly just bullshit.
I wouldn't mind being able to test it though, but I don't have any of that reagent stuff. I would definitely trip with a friend though.
Look, if you know it's an rc and you don't mind taking research chems why not just buy pure chems from vendors instead of paying LSD prices for something that is dirt cheap? At least you will know what your taking and the dose taken. Just my opinion. I wouldn't buy shit from someone who tried to feed me that bs story, I would've laughed in his face and inform him that I'm not the typical clueless retard and tell him that unless he can fit an maoi on that blotter than there's no DMT on that blotter...not that anyone would even try something that stupid.
None of the drugs that people sell as LSD are anything I'm willing to go out of my way to get or pay for large quantities of. I have no real desire to seek out phenethylamine derivatives anymore, aside from mescaline.... The only reason I'm even considering it is because I do still have that explorer in me, and it pretty much just fell into my lap.
The guy who told me about it is also not the one who's selling it, just a friend who's taken it. He's just a kid who still believes those kinds of stories, he didn't know any better. The only thing that mattered to me anyway was that it was actually psychedelic.... I've given up trying to get a straight story out of any street dealer, even if they told you something totally believable it wouldn't necessarily be true.
And if you absolutely insist on ingesting a blotter that you haven't tested and don't know 100% what's on it, take a SMALL DOSE AT HOME WITH A SITTER...better remotely safe than sorry.
This was the plan.
