that speed fucked my mind and body far worse.

Yep, the one thing that put me hospital… twice, also led to several “episodes” of borderline violent psychosis, thankfully I had very very understanding pals and never got sectioned, but I reckon without them I would have been. Many people don’y get just HOW STRONG base speed can be sometimes and the variation in quality. Most times I came unstuck was because someone had given me speed that was stupidly strong and I mean even stronger than the decent “smell it outside of two bags in another room” stuff.

Speed (the sulph not the meth) has always been available at very high quality and very cheap … hence it’s popularity in the UK. I completely fucked myself on it for years, back when Pills were amazing and the rave scene was not full of boiler room type cunts it was as popular and Es, probably moreso in terms of quantity consumed (did I say it was good and cheap ?).

Maybe it’s cultural thing IDK, never tried meth but it seems to me that it’s not really a rave scene type drug and some may disagree with me on this but I think the rave scene has driven drug culture in the UK since the late 80’s. Yes Crack and smack are established but they were before rave, anyone wanting to introduce something new would more than likely look at what the biggest easiest market would be to break into and that would be free parties/clubs/raves. Meth just hasn’t taken hold and I doubt it would unless all the parties went illegal again and you wouldn’t get bouncers chucking you out for hitting a pipe.

BTW, pseudo is not available in chemists anymore, or at least I can’t find it, everything changed to that other less effective (at decongesting) bollocks about a year ago. Pisses me off, no meth problem here from what I can tell and I have to suffer with head cold because sudafed is now utter dogshit because some twunt in parliament watched Breaking Bad.

That was probsably it’s biggest jooj. I’, talking what 7-9 years ago and I had a consrtant supply of the best base I have ever had apart from 1 gram I’d had years previously and it cost me £100 an ounce back then and you could sell a gram for a tenner but it was a;so the worst thing that ever happened to me.

I’m fairly certain (might be able to check up but have to avoid raising suspicion) that change pre-dates Breaking Bad by years.

The rave scene was a big part of UK drugs culture until recently but its rôle in it has diminished a lot because of the massive backlash against rave events by nimbys – they are now left with their kids experimenting with more dangerous and addictive drugs in smaller groups. The only thing that stops this leading to total carnage is the extremely poor science skills of anyone below 35-40 as they are not taught well in high school; some part of this clearly is due to paranoia from the govt at the time about the kids diverting their skills towards making drugs, explosives or any other dodgy stuff.

The Northern and Eastern European countries with heavy meth use have a lot of brainy scientist lads – but this does also lead to people going psycho and things like “random fires/explosions” (targeted at rivals) and in extreme cases white european suicide bombers but as these are rare often related to domestic disputes they aren’t seen as terrorist threat. At the same time you actually have a lot of suprisingly mentally stable users who do less damaging things especially brainy stuff involving computers and electronics; or heavy stuff like building ships and hauling around their cargo.

A Polish friend of mine used to sit up all night taking amfet; drinking vodka and writing code for his work; whilst also watching some old black and white movie about World War II and these Polish agents who had a tank and an alsatian dog and defeated the Germans in all sorts of clever ways (it was a bit like Lassie for blokes)

I used to be able to buy sudafed with pseudo up until about a year or 2 ago, but boots own was changed before that… that’s how I noticed the change as I bought boots one day with a cold and the were so ineffetive i went back and bought sudafed. Dunno if it was a legislation thing or not, if it wasn’t maybe that would explain the dispaity between brands for a while or maybe they were just getting rid of old stock before switching. IDK, but i remember managing to get proper pseudo sudafed as recently as 2 years ago of course maybe I’m just senile and it was a bit longer.

Heh, I used to play EvE online and that has it’s own radio shows so I’m not surprised. As far as the parties, a lot are boiler room esque wank, however there are decent parties to be found in clubs, a lot of them are reunion type things, the oldschool nights are big now and the free party scene (at least to my eyes) looks like it’s rolling along as per usual. No doubt there is a current uptick in authorities having a go at clubs what with Fabric getting done and this new breathalyzer on the door bollocks. I would say if they shut down the clubs as rave/drug venues then the scene *will* shrink, but the die hards will take it underground and illegal, that won’t stop, I’ve done it myself… and the folk doing it now look pretty damn organised and clued up. It will survive and possibly even be better for ditching all the selfie obsessed poser tarts 🙂

Yep, I never even been offered it, It’s here no doubt, but it’s not common.

I’ve never been offered it either, if I ever fancy it though I’ll just offer my friend a bumming and I’m sure he’d share lol
