Sadly due the current catastrophic scene regarding the RCs Opioids, where It's still debatable if the cause of this situation / who is more guilty can have a lot of arguments to compile a pretty long list between:
a) the government and the prohibitionism strategy to contain an opioid pandemic started many many years a go in USA
b) the greedy way chinese pretended to ""save"" the scene
c) the totally obsolete philosophy / rule adapted by tradition from all existing (dark) markets
- and try to identify who actually is responsible for the biggest number of countless deaths, a comeback of violence and criminality in the streets, and leaving patients with chronic pains who did nothing wrong, but regardless now they must life in permanent painful conditions - were the very small % lucky enough to keep his prescription - is tied now from a mutually exclusive rule that they CAN'T have any psychological disease in terms of anxiety or severe insomnia (doctor could be insta-jailed if he will prescribe to a patient with any opioid script, any benzo, even a single pill of zolpidem) -
The fact the myth of W15-W18 and any other fantasy codename you will read on countless of clearnet websites, are actually super-effective and potent and find a lot of reviews on reddit and other places confirming it - 99.5% of such it's because the current situation and recent ban in february of a class with several analogues that wildspread in the last 3 years - generated new opportunities to promote based on such myths and the many reviews, the misinformation of such compounds to actually be functional, and if they weren't before, it was because they did it wrong.
No need to say, the 99.5% of such reviews, it's simply because they bought something with such name, victims of the marketing and what search engines are giving back as results, that contained obviously a mix of different other strong opioids (and just checking energycontrol recent drugs check results, even 2-3 different drugs family and traces of leftovers of whatever else).
If there is a possible working W-1X chemical that is actually matching to the original structure declared when such compounds were listed many years a go from the researchers who wrote the paper, it's still a mystery, and most likely like the OP says, not even opioid (in terms of chemistry structure) - same for kratom, tianeptine, and the several RB-1XX (Enkaphalin Inhibitors) that had a boom in research papers as well available from some companies, the so-called Opioids 2.0, where no overdose, no withdrawal, no tolerance increase is possible (but with a potential analgesic potency up to 80x) - of course without any recreational value, but it would have at least saved the category of chronic pain patients who had not much choice if living in pain, or taking the path of unknown and RCs where the WIDE choice available is either something like O-DSMT (less stronger than morphine, but for some people was definitely better than nothing), and the next step, without anything in between with a legal status, 70x (now not even legal anymore).
Sorry the the long off-topics
