They don't have the minty after taste. they're not as potent or as pure as they once used to be
well the cool minty aftertaste is very subtle. like you have to go sublingual and then if you get bored of it melting and chew it up at the end, then you get that cool mint. and yeah I feel you on potency. but I also feel the effects of benzos can be subtle too, especially 'classical' non-triazolobenzodiazepines. also, that tolerance is partially cumulative over time. but then again, I never had the ones with the older original packets with red triangles on them.
by the way, I've noticed that the new counterfeit depicts the same way the writing is on those OG strips with red triangles ("1" instead of "jedan", and the "2mg" after "klonazepama" instead of before it). this is the same mistakes they make with the martin dow valium, ie: the counterfeits are based upon the old genuine packaging that isn't produced anymore. it's all very well news sites saying that "it's impossible to tell the difference from packaging and pills" etc, but if you know what you're looking for, the differences are obvious. I've never seen a counterfeit in person, but I can hardly imagine you'd be able to snap them with both forefingers and thumbs like this:

I also am sceptical that 0.5mg of clonazepam really is equivalent to 10mg of diazepam. some places say 2mg of clonaz = 30mg of diaz, some say 40mg. I am also skeptical that even genuine pharma companies are obligated, by the government/regulatory agency of any particular country, to really put exactly the mg they say with certain drugs. it could be that they are only obliged to put between 1mg-1.9mg, for example. and that if they put exactly 2mg or 2.1mg, they would get tested and incur a large fine, or even loose their license to produce. this is also the problem with wedinos: they never actually specify what "major" and "minor" mean. like could you get away with putting 1mg of real diazepam into a '10mg' tablet and still have them say that's 'major'? I think so. and that also raises the awful can of worms question: is it still possible that, despite wedinos reporting that a tablet contains only clonazepam and that clonazepam is a "major" component of that tablet, that it can still be counterfeit? arghh!
I'm going to ramble here and be further sceptical about this idea that "only the strongest versions of the tablets make it out of the factory into the hands of the drug dealers". what I mean by this is, if you look at the accord/activis diazepam tablets, the (very few) yellow 5mg tablets that have been tested are ALWAYS diazepam. in other words, the counterfeiters would never dream of producing a tablet in anything other than it's strongest variant. it feels like we should have at least some 1mg and 0.5mg clonazepam tablets being churned out, alongside the 2mg versions, but we never see this
