I don't like raves, personally. And I generally don't like ravers - The entire scene seems stifling to me, too centered around who's the best dancer, or who can eat the most pills, or who has the best phats.... but maybe it's jsut shit here in perth. I'unno, but nearly every self-confessed 'raver' I've talked to has been so painfully un-plur that it makes me cringe to see a chemical like MDMA with such potential being wasted, maligned and malapproriated on people just trying tog et as fucked up as possible. There are a number of notable exceptions, but by and large, from my point of view, raving is an elitist culture where everyone has synchronised epileptic fits and masturbates for twelve hours straight munching mouthfuls of speed, piperazines and ketamine masquerading as MDMA. This doctor is DOOF POWERED.
aaaaaanyway, back to the original topic. I so painfully often hear people complaining that they had a 'smacky pill' This shits me to tears, because they complain about it and tell people not to take it, when odds are that they've got a clean pill, and that they're just so used to dropping meth bombs that if their bikkies doesn't have them PINGING LIKE MAD ARGH ARGH ARGH GURN GURN BROWNIAN MOTION ON A UNIVERSAL SCALE KAPOWWWWW FWOOOOOSHING then they automatically assume that it's somehow a bad pill.
I mean, a bulk dose of molly should have you glued to your chair, or melting into puddles and rolling around the dancefloor like ice cream in the sun. You should be tranquil, empathic, feeling the world rush up to meet you and the sky splitting over your head as god himself reaches down to give you a back massage
Regarding actual smacky pills, I was under the impression that if you swallow scag, you tend to PUKE FUCKING BALLS for about an hour or so. And all the synthetic oral opiates, are either a) worth more per mg then MDMA, or not potent enough to get a good dose into one pill. So i can't see how it would make fiscal sense to put fentanyl or oxycodone in pills (though there was a spot of that in cali a few years back). Samewise when I hear that somebody has a 'coke based pill', as cocaine doesn't fair too well under hot acid reflux, like in say, your stomach. I've seen a lot of those test kits give 'positive' responses for cocaine, but then when you slap it into the GCMS, it turns out to be procaine or some equally inert tropane alkaloid... The only time I've actually seen coke in a pill was just because a guy had gotten his white powders mixed up when filling the press.
K-bombs obviously will give a very silly, lucid, depressant high - Which are pretty fucking sick in my opinion, but once again, I can't imagine how it would be cheaper to pump pills full of K rather then MDMA, unless they were diverting bulk shipments of vet ket... 'Cos molly is a helluva lot easier to make then spec k.
When I first got into the pill scene here in perth, I despaired openly when several people told me they were picking up a 'ten stack' for $350 or whatever... In canada and the US, I knew of the phrase 'double stack' or 'quad stack' as marketing gimmicks employed by dealers (The suggestion being that a 'double stack' was pressed twice and contians twice the MDMA, and so on and so forth...). I was about to slap my mate for paying three hundred and fifty for the one pill. later I discovered that a 'ten stack' here just means a baggie of ten pills. Cool, I guess.
Oh, and regarding MDA vs MDMA... be specific, as racemic MDA is very different to d-MDA and l-MDA... And it's no too hard to chromasep them out to tailor a specific kind of high.
