I’m sorry but I have to disagree with some of your statements Pistachio. K has been, and always will be, a very popular drug. Its use within the EDM, gay and general rec drug scenes has remained stable for many years, and as I alluded to earlier, may have even dropped in recent years with its limited availability. Furthermore, to say K was in relative obscurity 5 years ago is so far from the truth it couldn’t get any further from the truth. Prior to its rescheduling it was everywhere and it was odd to come across someone who hadn’t tried it on more than one occasion. These days you can talk to people about it and they know what it is, however, they have never been fortunate enough to have cooked their own down, railed some crystal goodness or to have IM’d a shot. Their knowledge of it is limited to someone they know who has used it or they have had some K bombs which made them spew.
The people that tend to badmouth or dislike K, other than a handful that just don’t like it, have either never had a K hole experience or have only ever had it unexpectedly in pills. I will say, however, that it’s either a love it or, hate it drug, but I honestly think the scales fall dramatically to the love it side.
I’m not having a go at you for your difference in opinion but I do tend to disagree with your thoughts surrounding K, its use and its popularity. Keeping in mind that we more than likely spin in very different circles and the people I have surrounded myself with over the years have all tended to love the stuff, whereas your circle of friends, may be quite the opposite.
