why don't branded 'legal highs' use the good RC's?

Yeah, I like this headshop, top notch guys working there. I get so much discounted, and tons of freebies, place kicks arse.
Like, for example, I was buying a jet flame lighter, guy picks it up, after having let me pay just what I could afford at the time for a 'pink panther' (branded pink gelcap containing 300mg of methiopropamine)...so of course I flick the lighter casually to make sure it worked, turned out to be near empty, so I asked for a different one, only for one of the blokes there to pick up a bottle of gas. I thought he was going to fill it up for me, but no. Just threw in the can of gas for nothing.

That would make up the majority of the places I've been to. There arnt much in the way of dedicated headshops down south, anyway, it's mostly grow shops with small sidelines.(i miss those pre-ban shrooms).
If I ever ran a business,I'd run a legal high suppliers some of these people are really living the life.

well, now they are mostly closed down here where i am, which is probably for the best, as they always gathered more attention that way....
though truth be told, had it not been for the one shop a few years back, this forum might not have had the pleasure of having me on board

Isn't that illegal tho?
What did you make of the kratom limpet? I can't get into it. No positive effects so far - just nausea and headaches.

Dunno if it's illegal where Lurching lives Issy. Which I think is Amsterdam.
Head shops round here are a joke. I can think of one that just sells bongs n shit, which is OK. They don't punt any "legal highs", or at least didn't the last time I was in there (years ago). They just sell over-priced bongs etc but the guy working there is pretty sound and is always just standing out the front of the shop smoking dope. Pretty sure I could have got him to flog me weed a couple times but I had no need to.
The other one is a record shop. Sells old dusty vinyl. Then you walk through the back and it sells bongs, herbal nonsense, branded crap & hunners of shit band t-shirts/hoodies. There's not a chance the cunts working there would have even the first clue what is in any of the branded stuff they sell. They're friendly enough and will happily chuck in some free stuff, few packs of skins, gauzes etc with a bong purchase or whatever, but they wouldn't even attempt to tell you what's in the mad "drugs" they sell because they wouldn't even know themselves. They also get a bit para at any mention of real drugs. One of these "This is where you put your ground up "herbs" and light them" type dudes. Just say weed mate. You're fooling no cunt.
Not that I've been anywhere near these places for a long, long time. Used to use them for bongs/pipes etc, or for weird skins, back when it was too sketchy to get those things delivered to my maw's house. Which reminds me, I need to ask her what's she done with my bong. She appears to have moved it. Better no have binned it!

Never bought drugs in a head shop, went into one in Liverpool once to see if they had meph, they wanted £15 for a 100mg capsule! Obviously I told them where to go, could get a gram for less than that pre-ban.

They must be banking on people not having decent connections/dealers.
I wonder if the true RC companies will affect their business?

It's bizarre. These days (with the daily mail constantly running stories about RCs) it must be impossible to make money selling powdered caffeine and 'herbal highs'.
How did people here first come upon the RC scene?
I read the book 'Smashed - growing up a drunk girl' (good book) -- there's a bit near the end when she mentions having been awake for days from a pill her friend bought off the internet. I thought "o rly??" and went searching on the net (this was 2009). I waded through a lot of shitty 'legal high'websites and somehow eventually ended up on bluelight deciding between mephedrone and methylone. I went for meph, and the rest is history.
Through BL I met, fell in love with and nearly married someone who introduced me to the wonderful world of drugs. We did everything from LSD and heroin to "haze" and "N-CAT". Basically if there was any chance that something might get us high, we'd take it. I think that's how vendors make money from selling shit -- people will take anything if there's a promise that it'll get you fucked up, even if there's no reason to believe that it actually will.
When I was a student (many years before all this) we all used to troop down to the local head shop and buy magic mushrooms. It was awesome! One time they were out of stock, so they sold us truffles instead. that was also awesome. Another time they were out, they sold me some "liquid ecstasy" -- I don't know what it was, but it didn't do anything at all. Fail
The thing that makes me more cautious these days is "Ivory Wave". A branded mystery drug, that turned out to be desoxypipradol. I never bought 'Ivory Wave', but I did take desoxy once. I went into it with my eyes open knowing the effects and risks. It was a fucking NIGHTMARE -- I can't imagine how much worse it'd be if you didn't know what to expect and ended up taking desoxy. Fuck me -- I'd never do drugs again.

Haha! I got into RC's through the recent C4 doc "Legally high"; I'd never even heard of them before that! These constant hysterical stories are nothing more than advertisements for these legal drugs IMO surely they can see that...?
Btw I only buy benzo RC's, pyraz, etiz. Wonder if they'll start doing opiate analogues....

Er, am I missing something here? I've never seen mescaline for sale in any shop, 'head' or otherwise
Edit: Oops, just seen post #54 above explaining that he actually meant you can buy cacti containing mescaline.
Damn, I was getting excited then!

Don't do amyl nitrate, it's amyl nitrite that you want - commonly used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning. It is a lovely, smooth, intense high with none of the headachy nastiness of sex shop poppers.

I never knew that. Don't suppose the nitrite is legal by any chance?
It's a bitch extracting the active ingredient from the cactus, and you can only buy the young ones from headshops. (6 years max).
Ayahuasca, on the other hand, seems to be the real deal, but you apparently need dmt -containing plants to make a tea with it.
Anyone had much luck with hawaian baby woodrose seeds? I've just brought some.....

I don't know what class it is, but it's certainly not available for sale legally. The point I was trying to make is that when people speak of amyl nitrate, they really mean 'amyl nitrite' - it's just a very common misnomer. Amyl nitrate does actually exist, and it is a vasodilator - but I don't know if it has any history of abuse, or even if it is abusable in the first place. The term 'poppers' comes from the fact that medical grade amyl nitrite comes/came in little glass capsules inside a cardboard tube stuffed with cotton wool, designed to be crushed in a handkerchief then the contents inhaled. When the capsules were broken, they made a 'popping' sound. The poppers legally available in sex or head shops (butyl or isobutyl nitrite) is a very poor imitation of the real deal.

Like in the film Hannibal, when he pops the little amyl vial before tearing Mason's face off...
Anyway, it's a very nasty, dirty rush (the nitrate, at least) only good for sex; no real recreational value.
