Good, never tried it. Sounded horrible.

they are just straight stims; not even as euphoric as MPA and you have to watch the dose; if you cane them they will cane you; which is what people have found out the hard way.

Incidentally it is possible to monitor and decode all the ambulance callouts for two areas of England (and all sorts of other stuff) with €30 of cheap radio equipment from Amazon (its “normal” purpose is for watching digital TV) and free software from the Netherlands.

I won’t go into too much detail about how its done and which areas as Ofcom and Information Commissioner don’t like that which is fair enough (it is easy enough to look online for the info though).

TBH it worried me a bit the ambos were using this insecure tech (its caused as you would expect by the austerity and them relying on volunteer services like St Johns who don’t all have secure airwave terminals) – if you were a creepy anti drugs/alcohol campaigner you could do your own vigilanté intelligence gathering and get businesses closed down in other parts of the country by anonymous tip offs; they transmit full details of the ages of casualties and what is wrong with them and its obvious when lots of young people seem to get chest pains/feeling faint etc on weekends and evenings what they might have been up to.

As expected the callouts are equally split between people who have overdone it, road collissions and old people having the usual medical emergencies through falls or age related health conditions.

ritalin TBF is OK if you cannot get stronger clean amfetamine; I’ve only ever tried it a few times back in the 90s/2000s as both it and amfet are class B and folk get in more shit for diversion of NHS pharms than street drugs; why get hanged for a sheep instead of a lamb?

I’m not a neuroscience expert so can’t describe it in “correct” terms and maybe those people who prefer stimulants are slightly different in brain chemistry to those who prefer other stuff; but there is a small amount of euphoria or at least elevated mood with some of them. Granted its nothing like MDMA; but it is there.

There are a lot of NPS users who take these substances to give them energy for study or work rather than for parties/raves (perhaps the number of these people is way more than ravers; many will not brag about their substance use and use smaller doses so its not immediately obvious what they are up to..

its similar to how a fuckload of adult Americans suddenly get ADHD at University and are prescribed ritalin or adderall (dexamfetamine); OK the condition does exist and maybe they have it to a greater or lesser extent and its probably exacerbated by the pressures of uni; but stimulants can provide short to medium term performance enhancement.

I read the full ACMD letter; seems a lot of the issues were flagged up by NHS and cops in the North of England and by Police Scotland although there were pockets of problematic use in parts of South West England. It appears users were buying the rough blends from “head shops” rather than online and injecting them; which was a sure fire way to get ill as well as others caning the stuff on the street and acting irrationally.
