its dry round my way as well, heard the same thing that one of the ingredients has been made illegal and is now almost impossible to get. Sure it wont be long before iit gets back to normal tho. Didnt the same happen to speed a while ago, which is why you cant find the proper yellow paste any more.
the precursor chemicals are same/similar solvents used for making both MDMA and amfetamine.
Its not illegal as such as it has a load of legit uses such as plastic manufacture and cleaning but can also be used to make explosives so is on a UN watched list…
This means if you tried to even order a 200L drum of it you would have to explain to the Home Office just what its intended uses were and various govt scientist bods might randomly pop in accompanied by a bobby or 20 to inspect your industrial premises.
Because most Western nations don’t have much of a manufacturing industry any more, large shipments of this stuff from China to the West is viewed with suspicion. at both ends. If you look at international news you will notice that this appears to be less of a problem in India where they still make a lot of stuff.
Another issue from the international scene is that until very recently, young Asians did not have much of a rave/drugs culture in their native lands as there was a lot more effective govt control against it, strong laws/religion and they were kept away from Western music culture.
what has happened is that richer kids have gone to places like UEA and Essex to study, where they have become involved in the British rave scene and have brought the culture back to their home nations.
These are the sons and daughters of ambassadors, business leaders etc so they have cash and contacts and the resources to set up things like supply routes – and enough family backing to corrupt the local feds (in the Asian countries( avoid being busted and executed, so a rave scene has emerged in the Asian countries.
now a lot of middle class kids from the call centres and dot com companies in India, China and even Indonesia and Malaysia (as well as Western Tourists) have swelled the scene and caused a backlash at both ends of the world – not so much because of laws/religion but because parents are seeing their own children suffer the same physical / mental health problems as we do in the West.
Tthis is also why the UK universities are clamping down on drug use a lot more as the rich foreigners are saying they will stop sending students here…
