brown #2??
I thought there was #3 tar (weaker), and #4 powder (stronger), and #4 powder can be raw and chunky or cheaper and mixed and cut, called "scramble", I guess.. in baltimore and the east coast its called scramble I guess, its just dope or blows in the Chi.. LOL we rarely see raw, like if the guys too lazy to get some bendryl or quinine to cut it..
For the OP, are you getting tar or powder? If its tar just smoke a bit and if your not fucked up smoke some more.. instead of chasing the dragon on foil do like someone else suggested, take a light bulb, (incandesent obviously..), and take a flathead screw driver and crush the blue insulating glass part inside the metal screw-in thing and ull the wire and crap out, then take salt dissolved in hot water and swirl it around inside the bulb to get the white shit out.. then when your bulb is prepped and clean get a pen and take the shit out of either end, put some H, if its tar, inside the bulb, heat it up and inhale the smoke with the pen.. you should gety it all like this..
Theres another way to smoke hash with a glass and a little pin, like a stick pin not a writing pen, don't know if it would work with tar H, like with hash. you put the resiny substance on the tip of the little pin and prop it up by putting the pin through a little paper card, like a bussiness card or magazine sendaway card, over the edge of a table, with a glass over it, then light the resiny material on fire and blow it out after its stokin good by itself, and let it fill the upside down glass with smoke, then bring the edge over the end of the table and put a pen with the ends removed to the edge of the glass and suck all the smoke out. I'v never had the option of using tar and don't know 100% if it would burn right for this but it works with hash..
Ok if you have powder, try snorting 1/2 a blow.. wait 10-15 min, if your not where you wanna be snort more.. incremently till you get an idea od how much you need of the local shit you get to get the buzz you like.. don't worry about shooting right away, if its decent you should get fucked off of snorting it at first..
