Useful tips in here.
I'll put a few tips in for my brothers and sisters in Sydney:
1) Read Le Junk's guides. Period. Show your sources how to do basic tests themselves. Put the word out that a glass of bleach can tell you how much that RIDICULOUSLY expensive bag is actually worth. Make your sources know that you're savvy.
2) Clean your gear. I know it's going to be hard when you've just picked it up in some club and itching to bash out a rail, but if you have the time and a couple of bucks, just filter the inactive cuts out with the acetone wash. It'll save you a lot of trips to the bathroom at least.
3) Mix it with drinks. If you're paying what we pay, might as well make it last. You're in no state to do anything anyway.
If you're back at home base and have a bit of time:
1) Saucepan with water, warm plate over it, low heat, bring to simmer and enjoy. I much prefer my gear nice and dry. It chops up MUCH neater and it makes a huge difference in keeping it where it matters (in your sinus, not the back of your throat). If you do this with a saline spray, with some washed gear, it's going to be the best way you'll enjoy the rubbish that passes for rack these days. Sure, it means you'll have to get up off the couch and wander off to the kitchen, but you can't win them all...
2) Watch for vultures. I'm into sharing as much as the next person, and have been known to share bags at the drop of a hat. There are people you'll always be happy to pass around with. Keep this circle tight. Keep this circle happy. Everyone else can fuck off and buy their own, because they're sure as hell not going to look after you. I've turned into a bitter, jaded fuck at times because of coke, but it's a goddamn blessing in disguise at times.
3) Enjoy it. It's cost you an arm and a leg, so don't worry about how good or bad you think it is. Unless you've gone to the trouble of recreating the hydrochloride from the freebase that you've carefully chopped up, washed and dried it out, then and ONLY THEN, do you know that it's good. Assume the worst - it'll get you blazed anyway so enjoy the ride.
