Ebeneezer-
Yes I am aware of the dangers of lemon juice, I was just throwing that out there in case somebody is in a pinch and cant find absorbic acid. I have never had any problems using lemon juice and it works well for breaking down hard to dissolve dope and crack. Sometimes the smell and taste of vinegar is very hard to bear and at times makes me gag. I was unaware of the ill effects that can be caused by lemon juice until I first started coming on bluelight and I tend to rarely use it since it has been brought to my attention.
As for powdered vitamin C (citric acid, for some reason absorbic acid is popping into my head, what is that used for?) it is easy to use to much, like you said just a lil' pinch is all you need. When to much is used you will feel a sting through out your veins (at least I do/did). Also I find that this is not nearly as available as some of the alternatives but I have never really kept an eye peeled for it when at stores.
I have also found that heat helps to dissolve the dope (#3 or similar hard to break down heroin). Not a harsh long bring the dope/water mixture to a boil cook but a gradual multiple reheating of the dope tends to help it to dissolve a bit easier.
I dont run into heroin like this to often (#3) but on occasion I do. The overall high pales in comparison to a nice clean #4 high. I can often tell the difference right off the bat as the rush is reminiscent of morphine, I tend to get the typical pins and needle sensation starting at the top of my head and traveling down to the tips of my toes (for those not familiar with the rush I am speaking of, it is similar to when your foot or something falls asleep and it is numb and well feels like a million pins and needles). I also tend to flush red and overall the high is very rough on my stomach almost making it uncomfortable but dont get me wrong it does pack a punch.
Occasionally I will run into users (heroin) that cold cook there heroin as no heat is needed. Recently I ran into some friends that were insistent on cooking this way. They would just powderize the rocks of heroin, add water swish the solution around with the back of the plunger drop in a cotton and boom of to the races, granted the heroin was of high quality. If you think about it is a fairly sound princible since heroin is highly water soluble what is the sense of cooking it up using heat other than to help it dissolve more readily. Heat also helps any adulterants (cuts) to break down easier and become suspended in the solution (which can be a good or bad thing, as I find that some cuts add to the quality of the high), also some people grab hold of the theory that heat kills any bacteria in the dope prior to injection, personally I dont hold to much merit in this idea as to truly kill any bacteria a strong rolling boil would be needed which would evaporate some of the heroin that is suspended in the water. Can anybody add to that? Does it kill bacteria? I am sure it doesn't hurt but I am not to sure.
As for tan, brown, black, white, beige, or yellowish heroin its not always a reliable sign on the quality. There is just way to much a variety on potency to peg down the strength by color. One thing that I have found that tends to lead me to assume that the potency of the heroin is high, is the color of the solution once it is dissolved and ready for injection. When the water is a light brown to deep brown color I am usually in store for a nice strong rush and also the high that follows. Does anybody else see any correlation between strength and the tint of the liquid prior to injection? Sometimes when I get heroin that is a bright white (baby powder color) and once water hits it the solution turns a deep tan color I usually refer to this as ice-tea dope because of the color of the water/heroin mixture. Also I am curious about the pharmacutical heroin you get/have got from your doctor over there. What does the powder resemble? What does the water/dope solution look like (color)? What does the dope/water solution look like from the typical street heroin over there (once again I am speaking mainly about the color of it)?
Ok, I rambled way to much about heroin that most people could give a shit less but I find it interesting 'shrugs'. All this talk of dope is making me want to use my 'tomorrows bag' tonight...!@!
Big white melting rocks.....yum,yum
