A recent extraction of pseudo HCl from 120's was reacted with hypo acid made from sodium hypophosphite and worked up in my usual fashion. Gassing the collected nonpolar solvent prodced a less than spectacular yield of what appeared to be good product, which had most of its usual effect when first ingested. I was quite fresh when my lady and I first did a sample. I did note at the time that it did not have the euphoric effects I look for, but it seemed to have the other aspects of my favorite drug. I set about to recyrstallize the product the next day and from that process wound up with only a gram of diamonds, about two grams that had the texture and appearance of refined sugar, and another gram or so of white flakes, almost like powder. I had almost a twenty percent loss of weight in the process--very unusual in my book. The powder was trashy, and had little if any effect. It was, in fact, worse than the gassed and acetone rinsed product I sampled before. The sugar-like crystals not only did not smoke cleanly, they tasted horrible and gave only a minor effect that lasted only a short while. It also did not burn as cleanly as the inital gassed product and had none of the potency of the original product. The diamonds, which I had reserved for a deserving friend to sample, were invaded last to determine whether these were the real deal at all.
Ahhh the diamonds! They burned cleanly in the pipe and on foil, they rerocked immediately, the smoked without any taste at all. And did nothing to me. Period. Of everything obtained after the crystallizing process, this was the purest and the weakest. After recrystallizing, I could not get a good buzz from any of the dope I had made, despite having been able to get a decent buzz from the orginal pile of meth.
Unbelieving, my lady and I began to chase the high we so much prefer to experience, and wound up consuming all the remaining goods over the period of probably thirty six hours.
It has taken me four days to recover from the experience. My mind became unfocused, I could not think clearly, could not concentrate, could not link attention spans without struggling, and was completely unproductive. I was edgy, a little agitated, my mood was depressed to the extreme (well, DUH!), I battled nervousness, nausea, and tiredness, wound up sleeping about sixteen or more hours a day, and generally felt lousy. I had gastrointestinal distress, nausea, extreme flatulence, and indigestion.
I read Dwarfer's post on (-)(-) pseudo HCl and its effects and I'll be damned if it doesn't match what I felt to a "T."
I've noted very few reports in the stim forum proclaiming the quality of product produced of late. I'm curious if other bees have had any recent batches that were as miserable as the Geezmeister's last one.
Its one thing to have a failed or low quality batch. Its another one to make something that makes you ill, leaves you dazed and confused for a few days after ingesting it, and generally makes you not to want to do any more meth at all. I've been making meth from pseudo long enough, well enough, to know how to do it, and to know the difference between good dope and the shit I made this last time.
Is anyone else having similar experiences?
Should we suddenly be concerned that the gakks in the pills, or the pseudo in the pills, can leave you with something that isn't what you think it is, and does something to you you don't want to have happen?
If a new batch doesn't do to you what you expect and want it to do, be very wary of doing more of it chasing a buzz. That favorite buzz may not be there at all, and there may be some effects to ingesting the stuff you really don't care to experience.
I can't tie the phenomenon I experienced to anything other than the product of that reaction. My lady friend experienced similar physical sensations and effects, although not as pronounced, perhaps-- although it could be that her daily experiences and tasks do not highlight the lack of focus and the confusion the way my job does.
It is as if I made myself ill by ingesting my own product. Has anyone else found less than potent product from routine techniques lately? Anyone find themselves at a loss for the euphoric buzz? Anyone making themselves dazed and confused rather than focused and energized?
Or is it just me?
Something suggests to me it isn't just me. I think this is more common that we've been wanting to admit, and no one has wanted to talk about it. Whatever. It hit me broadside last week, and I, for one, am not afraid to bring the subject up.
And I didn't have a failed batch. I know what it is like to have failed batches, as I have enough that have failed. I had no pseudo left in the pile, and it did not have the taste, smell, or side effects I normally note with incomplete batches. Everything about this batch said it was done. It also says this isn't the meth I am used to making. Period.
