well… good or bad compared to what? obviously compared to mezz’s utopia of libertarianism where david cameron makes most of his speeches spliff in hand, rc’s are bad. but actually there are only 2 popular legal/non-prescribed drugs (which generally are also full of ‘unwanted’ chems) and if you want anything else you have to roll the dice somewhat. you have to decide who you trust more; you’re friendly local dealer and his/her connections or you’re vendor of choice where you’re rc’s come complete with nomenclature that gives you that feeling of ‘science’ and therefore trust. unfortunately, as in all areas of life, if you wan it done right, do it yourself. if you can’t then you have to put your trust in others, but this is with everything in life, not just the small corner of recreational drugs. for me i would trust a reputable rc (i am loyal to the one i use) more than a coke dealer for example. if u do want rc’s i’d recommend choosing a vendor that sells specific chems rather than brands. its like when you buy porridge you know you’re probably getting rolled oats, whereas if you buy kelloggs who knows whats inside.
if we’re assuming that in all instances you are getting what you paid for; dealer or vendor, of course if you use tried and tested drugs (illegal ones), its easier to gage the risks, whereas with rc’s they’re all relatively new, but that said i think common sense and researching and reading other peoples reviews can minimise risk/ or wasting your money on products that aren’t worth the packet they come in.
you see, rc vendors are playing a game with the law… its all a legal game and its one that is putting lives at risk. if it was up to the government none of this would be possible, but unfortunately for them they are fighting a losing battle against chemistry… because… to make a drug illegal takes quite a long time, someone often has to die, a bill will be passed and the drug will be banned, but in that time the chemists will have a substitute drug made ready to take its place… and this will go on and on… prohibition will never work, people will never listen and chemists will always have another option. the bad part for you and me is that every time this cycle repeats we try something new and put ourselves at risk. for example, the somewhat dangerous drug GHB was banned and instead of going ‘ok nanny government, i see the light now,’ many turned to GBL which is much more crude and can be bought (by disguised vendors!) as alloy wheel cleaner, causing more deaths. this is an extreme example though.
but all that said, i like my vendor. i research before i buy and i’m fine! *twitch..scratch*
oh, and there was a really good documentary that covers these topics, its well worth a watch
