well, as i said, you just want to justify your behaviour by waiting for some dude to come in and say "no worries, it's fine". this is not going to happen because this is a harm reduction forum, so you might as well gtfo.
I'm just making conversation, I don't need a validation, and theres no need to get testy with language.
Ideally we should all be using lab grade analytical balances precise down to 10ug, but I would put a large wager on it that 99% of everyone here has no such access to such a scale. I didnt spend upwards of a grand or more on my scale, so I know at the < 20mg range it can be off by as much as +/- 2mg. This is an accepted error tolerance, and every single one of you accept that. It is accounted for in my calculations by the amount of solution I will create and taking a very low dose to gauge my reaction. As I said, even if I have double the amount of powder, which I most certainly do not, I will be well within an accepted
'safe' dose range.
I don't deny that double checking the amount to get closer to the magic perfect number would be ideal, but there are also plenty of other factors that are at play, such as the purity of the substance itself, or my individual tolerance that can alter the playing field more than being off a few mg as a whole in a solution. Those things are obviously that which we cannot control. As I said, even if I had my scale and it did come out to be exactly 14mg average on it, it can still potentially be off and there is still the level of risk involved. So even if the amount of substance per ml in my solution is not exactly as I intended, which in truth never will be, by the nature of titrating from a low dose to find my own personal threshhold, I am taking as many steps as I possibly can towards harm reduction. Its pretty simple mathematics.
Im not doing this shit all willy nilly to say the least.
On the note of harm reduction, and if you absolutely must, then why not try that out with either of your 2Cs? The safety profile is that much better, plus they're very stable in solution
Really though, don't.
Because those are much larger quantities which I don't want to put into solution other than in 40-50mg batches, which I require the scale to weigh out. I have no idea the exact amount of substance in the bags, there is just a sticker with the substance name, a fancy drawing of the molecule and a printed '250mg.' Note that I will still use a volumetric approach for these substances as well to ensure the best possible measurement that I can, as measuring out a 16mg dose isnt going to be accurately repeatable on my scale which I have to acknowledge.
The amount on the nbome bag is actually written in pen by whoever dealed it out. The notion of the vendor needing batteries in their scale and it being off is a long shot, we could go back and forth with "what ifs" all day long.
This is
realistic harm reduction in my opinion. I've ensured that even in the event that their and my scale are horribly off, that I will still be taking in a safe acceptable level of dose - even if it launches me into orbit. I really don't think it gets any better than that, aside from having a lab grade analytical balance. Personally I view this to be safer than buying premade blotters online and hoping that the vendor properly laid the blotter
