A little out of date – but I guess it gives you an idea –

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Purities of Amphetamine Samples[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A study[xxi] of drug content of powders examined in detail the purity of amphetamine seizures made by Police and by Customs & Excise between January and August 1992. The purity of seizures were plotted against the amount seized. Average purity of amphetamines seized by police was 5.1%, with Customs seizures averaging 43.7%. In neither sample was a relationship found between the amount seized and the purity. There were seizures of 10kg with 3% and 4%, and a seizure of a few grams with 16% amphetamine. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Home Office statistics[xxii] chart the changes in amphetamine purity over the past 10 years (fig 1). During the early 1990s the average purity was typically 5-6%, which rose steadily to 15-18% during 1998-99. Following successful police action against a large manufacturing syndicate the availability and purity of amphetamine fell back to 5-8% from late 1999 to mid 2001, although by late 2001 the average had risen above 10% once more. This ¨amphetamine drought¹ coincided with a substantial increase in usage of cocaine and crack.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Illicit amphetamine tablets were found[xxiii] to contain 30-40mg amphetamine, compared to proprietary ¨dexedrine¹ (d-amphetamine) tablets of 5mg. However illicit tablets would contain a racemic mixture of both d-amphetamine and the inactive l-amphetamine stereoisomers, thus the active drug content of illicit tablet preparations would be 3-4 times that of proprietary tablets. With a typical tablet weight of around 300mg, this would represent typical tablet ¨purities¹ of 10-13%.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The range of amphetamine purities analysed by the Forensic Science Service during 1997 were given in a Home Office written answer in April 1998 and are reproduced in table 3 below.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A report of purities of amphetamine samples analysed by the Wetherby laboratory[xxv] (covering Yorkshire, Humberside & North East England found amphetamine purities of samples analysed during the period January-June 1995 averaged 7.8%, and from July to December 1995 the report indicates an average purity of 10%, with most street samples in the range 1%-9%, with the most common cutting agents being glucose, with caffeine and ephedrine often present. The average wrap size was 646mg (no range given).[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It is apparent from these figures that the common assumption that amphetamine would be cut to levels of 5% or less are outdated, representing less than median purity, and that a substantial proportion of amphetamine on the UK market is sold at higher purities – 41% of seizures were found to be over 10% purity in 1997.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Wrap sizes[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The average wrap size analysed by the Wetherby laboratory[xxvi] was 616mg in January-June and 646mg in July-December 1995 (no range given). Analysed wraps will tend to underestimate the sizes of wraps sold on the street, as partially used wraps may be seized and analysed, and these will tend to depress the average. The analysed average of seized wraps would thus fall somewhere between 50% and 100% of the actual average wrap size when sold. Analysed wrap sizes would therefore be consistent with an actual wrap size (when sold) of approximately one gram.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Preliminary results from the 1995-97 series surveys[xxvii] indicate purchase quantities of amphetamine to range from one gram wraps to over 100g, with 1/8oz (3.5g) at £15-£25 being the average purchase among regular amphetamine users.[/FONT]

In the early 90’s there was an abundance of ‘pinky’s’ where we were, (pharm speed) as some one knocked off a wharehouse 😉

i dont know base is pretty reliable round here… blows your back doors off! :crazy_dizzy:

Base is more pure than speed. ur purity depends on ur dealer tho. I’ve been on it 7yrs on n off now and kno where to avoid getting it. if ur injecting make sure u go to sum1 u kno dosent cut it to much coz wen cut wiv certian things it can be dangourous x

i couldn’t put it better myself!!

RISK v’s REWARD… of the making it sounds to weighted on the risk side! I had a look in at the recipes for making it and thought “F**K THAT!!” no way is it worth going through that. ANd when you read the ingrediants battery acid, drain cleaner etc you think nah! Anyway through seaching for it some nice people here pointed me to a far more pleasant alternative (which i’m incredibly grateful for). Although i still miss it a little!

Anyone having any long lasting effects form it.

I used to get through a fair amount of base in a night. It wasn’t as if i was addicted, i didn’t do it every day. In fact only once/twice a week.

But i notice now. i OFTEN loose my train of thought. My heart still goes unusual, palpitations. It made my anxiety AWFUL. And i still get slight hallucinations.

I could say its all in my head and I’m being a hypochondriac. But i know my mates are getting this to some extent. I just feel as though, apart from physical problems i feel as my mind isn’t the same as it was before.

I know amphetamines make your brain soft and we always got good quality strong stuff.

:yakk:

well how old where u when u were doing it? doing drugs when very young can seriously fuck up the developing body

Only really a year ago, I think my mental health goes a little wobbly at times anyhow. I’ve chosen mroe subjects of philosophy classical civilisations second year and english lit at college.

But im not able to Think anywhere near the same. Hope my scatty brained ness and memory clears up a little.
