So out on the west coast we pretty much only get tar most of the time. Tar can be very potent, in fact I regularly get product that tests north of 70% purity, which is great in my opinion. I have even heard of tar in the 90 percent range. Being on the west coast, my exposure to powdered #4 h like what the east coast gets is limited. I have been on a journey to find some high quality #4 that would stand up to my local product. I tried probably about 10 different samples of #4 which were not even close to how strong my tar is. I got bags from the midwest(supposedly off a brick, but i doubt it), NY(stamps) and NJ(stamps) as well as #4 from canada. Up until recently, they were all pretty weak, the canadian sample was best, but still not close to the effect of the local tar.
The tar, though it is strong, has a very major flaw - if you want to inject it regularly, say bye bye to your veins. They will dissappear quickly. It does a lot of fucking damage to your veins. Really the best route of administration for tar is to smoke it in my opinion, or if your can't do that, cook up some like for a shot, but much thicker, then take a syringe with the needle removed and slowly squirt the goop up your nose. That actually is pretty effective, you just need to do small squirts at a time, like a 1cc syringe over 10 min. Smoking as well is very effective for tar.
Like i mentioned, its bad on your veins, and for that reason I usually switch between smoking and shooting. I usually smoke for a month, shoot for a few days.... except recently I went on a bender and shot up for like 10 days. I was on a real bender, I would say, averaging 2 grams a day 8-12 shots per day. The result was a highly increased tolerance I had to lower and some fucked up veins along with some nasty bumps from a couple of missed shots. Going back to smoking was tough, my tolerance was so high and I craved that rush. I had to switch to methadone and taper down to get back to normal. The first day of methadone, i took 200mg, day 2 - 140mg day 3 100mg day 4 80 mg, day 5 80mg, then i went back to smoking and it was my normal gram a day tolerance. This was probably about 2 weeks ago. Since then my arms have been healing nicely, no shots....
Then yesterday, my connect calls me and tells me he has "china". I have gotten china from him before, but it was not great, it was about as good as the NY bags i tried(my guess which is totally arbitrary since I didnt do a purity test on it, but i think 30% based on how much I needed). I was skeptical, but he told me that his guy had acknowledged that the stuff he had before was not great, in fact it was returned. This new stuff, he was able to pull 3 oz off of the package headed out to you east coast heads. He had a half gram sample for me to try(free of charge, how great is that!) I took it and did 150mg in a spoon. It dissolved completly with no heat at all, a very light ice tea color. I took the shot, not expecting much, but holy shit!!! it was good!, as strong, if not slightly stronger than the tar.
I was stoked, so I asked about the price to get myself some. To my dismay, the price was twice the cost of the tar. Literally two times as much. I still purchased 6 grams for myself for one major reason: HOW MUCH CLEANER IT IS THAN TAR. I have since taken 5 shots in the same area, no damage to the vein. I am actually rotating between 4 sites and its not a problem as with tar, little by little they would shut the veins down. I still have the issue of increasing tolerance because I tend to do successive shots, but now I see how someone could use this and shoot and have no problems many years! the high is also cleaner. I gave my buddy who never tried powder a test shot and he said it almost felt like a speedball. Much different high. cleaner high. Almost better, but not better, just different. I would say like indica and sativa. Powder #4 being sativa.
