Is there any way to test the potency of h? I'm tired of hearing all these people saying that they got pure h. So I would like to show these people once and for all how pure there h really is ng sug
 
Not without a lab.

Your best bet is it take it easy -snorting about 25mg and waiting half an hour before doing it again.
 
--"jgrillz",

I have actually asked the same question a few times in various forums and threads, only to get the same responses you've gotten here, none of which actually address the question. (I.e. ; "do small bumps until you're high" or "you need a lab etc..." )
Doing small bumps is a good way to dose safely, but doesn't provide any info on purity, and saying a lab is needed WOULD be an ok answer, IF one where to mention--just generally, what equipment found in a lab would be needed...

IDK the answer, but there are so many simple teks for testing cocaine purity, such as the bleach test, melting/burning point test, weighing the initial HCL sample, converting to freebase and weighing resulting product, even just dropping some cocaine HCL in water is somewhat helpful. With all those teks, one must think that an equally simple test can be done with heroin, even if it just results in a very general estimate.

IMO, if one has powdered heroin, seeing how much of the sample dissolves in water is ones best option. BUT, just b/c IDK of any other methods, I simply cannot believe that there isn't a relatively simple way to very generally gauge the purity of heroin.


And if anyone out there knows/thinks, that a lab IS absolutely needed, then please explain why that is? What equipment from a lab would a person need? (and what kind of lab are we talking about here...?) Obviously a mas spec (sic?) or w/e would work, but for those who say "lab required", is there anything else you can mention....even just generally speaking?

Thanks, all comments welcomed
 
Yes you can have a VERY accurate measure of the purity by utilizing methods to dissolve all of the cut. There were a couple good ones posted on erowid, I don't have time to dig them up though (getting ready for a three hour car trip.) I've used them with much success.
 
I used to go by smell. Like good dope always has that distinct burn your face off smell. Good dope should have you sucking squares through your nose after roughly 5 bags
