I've been wondering that, 4EverTweakin, about our side of the country's H actually possibly being better than the east coast's white-powder stuff. 'Course, I've never had anything exCEPT the black tar, since I'm here in Los Angeles and there's NO white kind to be heard of or seen anywhere around here, just the Mexican sticky black tar.
I used to just assume that the east coast white stuff would be a superior product, but the more I've been reading about & talking to friends about the two types of H, the more I'm beginning to think maybe our West Coast sticky stuff IS the better kind of the two.
Aw hell, what the fuck do I know. I don't shoot it, anyway, I snort it, and yeah, there ARE ways to be able to snort black tar successfully. - I just make obsessively sure to keep it completely sealed from moisture; air humidity, exhalations of breath around the bag, even the moisture from my fingertips when I first snip open the little black sac it comes in, all contribute to the stuff turning into its namesake.
I'll snip the little black plastic twist-melted bag it cme in, and quickly & carefully empty the contents into a brand new baby baggie of my own, then seal that baggie immediately and put it into 2 more wee baglets, sealing them, too. THEN, with everything as hermetically sealed up as I can get it, I'll crush the chunky, hard-shardie stuff real nice and thoroughly, using a flat-bottomed, solid object like a heavy ceramic bowl or something. Obviously, I do it while it's still inside those 3 layers of baggies (the sharp edges of the stuff will make tiny puncture holes in the baggies when you crush it. Hence, the 3 layers of bags idea.)
And I have a tiny silver old-fashioned coke spoon which I use to scoop out a good snuff-dose with, being sure to re-seal the bag before I even make my line.
Time being of the essense, I then snuffle-up that scoop of brown powder before it has a chance to collect any of the moisture from the air, and within 5 minutes, I'm feeling no pain. Which is the whole point, as I do use this stuff from time to time when pain meds are temporarily unavailable to me. Got a real fucked-up mangled back problem.
This little method of preventing air- and moisture-contamination to be able to snort the black tar H works just fine until the baggie starts running low, 'cause by then it has turned into sticky stuff - that last sticky bit is for smoking.
I wonder how the white east coast stuff differs, for snufflers like me, that is. Anyone else here have experience with both kinds as far as snorting them goes?
