And I'd disagree about K being replaced by G, in fact I'd say if anything K is more prominant than ever, it seems to be going mainstream, I've had plenty of people who normally stick to pills talk about doing K, even those who don't normally associate with the more underground scene where K is usually found.
We may be seeing a resurgence in the prevalence of K, however, we will never see a return to its widespread availability and 'cheap as chips' prices prior to the rescheduling around mid 2005. The general punter may be more aware of it these days but prior to its rescheduling it was everywhere, albeit more 'underground', and associated with a niche market.![]()
..and some of us would say thats not back in the day.. 1988 pills were strong (if you even knew what mdma was and could get them) and the RAT partys were ..well lots of fun. Quality dropped off in the mid 90's briefly then returned and dropped again around 2004
ahh back in the day
No, not at all!!
It was everywhere within a specific demographic. It was widely available within these circles but it wasn't mainstream per se.
Just because something is underground doesn't mean it can't be limited, or even widely available within that market. Just like any market it ebbs and flows. The specificity of the comment was fairly obvious but I will endeavour to simplify it for you in the future.![]()

Baaaa... wrong.
K was everywhere in both Aus and NZ. And anyone who wanted it could get it.
It was relatively new to the pill scene, and this is why so much dosh was made from K around that time.
I’m not disputing the fact that it was widely available, on the contrary, I’m saying it wasn’t widely accepted and used knowingly, therefore, not mainstream. The majority of people who knew about K only knew about it in K bombs and they hated it. If you spoke to people about K you would get the usual response of ‘that shit’ or ‘I’m not using a fucking horse tranquilliser’.
The people who sought out and used 'pure' K were a niche market. I think you'll find the majority of the money made from K wasn't from selling it as is, rather, it was from people pressing it into pills and flogging them off as the real deal which then resulted in nasty surprises and an overall displeasure surrounding the drug. The points raised earlier have highlighted that it’s making a comeback and its popularity is increasing. The difference we’ll see now is that it’s gone more mainstream but due to the rescheduling it will never be as widely available as it was previously.

Agreed
There is so much positive energy in the outdoors.
Putting people in a dirty smelly club/warehouse does take a lot away from the experience.
