All fecken great answers, ice has single handed destroyed my life, it’s the devils love child. I just would have thought the underground would have see an opportunity to make big money, get the kids hooked at bingo
I agree, seeing someone racking up some nice powder in a club has a better sex appeal than twirling the glass bowl or mainlining it
Also, people in the UK don’t tend to be very adventurous. Unless you are a ‘I’ll try it all at least once before knocking it’ type of person, people don’t tend to venture off into the unknown. They quickly establish what they like and rigidly stick with it.
Before aMT was banned I bought several g of the stuff after trying it, thinking I’d be able to shift some. I was badly mistaken though. Round my way at least, if it isn’t common knowledge people will be super cautious around new things. Offering people aMT got me nowhere because that was just 3 meaningless letters, giving it its full name had an even less impressive impact, as it would just go over people’s heads. So I had to invent a way of describing it that people could relate to. So although not a massively accurate description; I was telling people I could get hold of a chemical that was a legal equivalent to MDMA and Mushrooms all rolled into a single substance. Even so, people were often intrigued but thought it sounded too hectic so that didn’t really get me anywhere either. In the end I gave up and just kept it for myself. I decided it wasn’t worth trying to make a few bob out of other people’s ignorance. It was time to call it a day when I found myself having to explain to people the most basic things like; what a milligram was, and why you’d be an idiot to hoover up a 200mg line like you might do with coke.
Had a similar thing with Etizolam too. Stocked up on those thinking everybody enjoys a benzo every now and then, they’ll be easy to get rid of. Again I underestimated how thick your average druggie can be. Once more people were backing away from this strange sounding substance just because the name was unfamiliar. Telling people it was a benzodiazepine got me little headway as people didn’t know what that meant. Rather than explaining what it was and what it did, it was far simpler just to tell people it was Valium. Again, having to find the basics of what people could relate to.
Where was I going with this? That was all a bit of a ramble. Oh yeah, because ice isn’t already a ‘mainstream’ drug over here, few are prepared to explore that option.
