Party Vibe

The colours and pressings mean absolutely nothing these days, one week you may get really good stuff the next the quality is shite..

just like other candy its easy to make anything any colour, brainy scientist/chemist type people can also make crystals of various appearances even if stuff is bulked out with poorer quality ingredients

that said I don’t think your middle level or “street” level dealers always want to rip off their customers, most of them are ravers too

but what often happens is a firm starts out trying to get say 10 kilos of pure MDMA into the country

Out of this, a few kilos is seized by feds/DEA/HM revenue and customs

All this MDMA has been sold on credit from nasty big men with guns who still want their money.

The penalties are fucking up are harsh. One chap from Britain lost a big shipment to the authorities 6 years ago. He jumped bail to another country, managed to escape being nicked for alll those years but it looks like he didn’t pay his debt so one of his former “associates” stalked him and shot him dead in the street.

People don’t forgive and forget when there are thousands of quid/euros/dollars at stake.

With the stakes raised so high, the only way for everyone involved to make that profit back and pay back the big men (and stay alive!) is to bulk out the actual supply of MDMA they have got with whatever other ingredients they can find (MCPP, ketamine etc) to offset their losses, keep the business running and cashflow turning over.

So pills vary in quality between each batch.

This will happen for as long as its an unregulated illegal market, and its getting to the stage where legalisation may actually save lives, but TBH the way things are going in the world with views of pro and anti people getting entrenched, I don’t see any chance of change until all of us are elderly.

we’d have to deal with Britains binge culture first though, look at the problems caused by alcohol (which is legal and cheap). (actually it also took a lot of legislation to ensure decent quality beer and spirits, and even today there is contaminated or cheap dodgy stuff!, and its partly why tax is so high).

if we had a rushed experiment with legalisation in Britain or a half measure (such as what happened with cannabis) it could result in more problems to society.

TBH at street level drugs may as well currently be legal, there is so much of them around and they are easy to get even if they aren’t good quality.

OTOH most people who support enforcement and prohibition aren’t actually fascists, but their views are shaped by seeing their friends or even close family get into patterns of problematic drug use (including alcohol).

It will take a whole generation to self regulate properly before there is any chance of progress (particularly as the stubborn attiudes of the governments of the USA and Asian nations have to be overcome).

All it may need is all of you aged 16-25 today to just not fuck up your lives too badly.

you don’t all need to get 1st class honours degrees etc, its just a matter of being able to have fun but also contributing something positive to society and not cause excessive trouble to your family.

I think we’re 70% of the way there already but just need the extra 30%.

incidentally China (which has a lot of power nowadays) is surprisingly lenient on recreational drugs use for an Asian country (i.e people get sent to rehab rather than just executed), their people might play hard (4.5 TONNES of ket seized by the Chinese feds this year[1], which means way more is getting past them) but they work hard as well
