Basicly;
The newest the brand is, the better quality it will be.
Pills sales can't be pushed by a marketing campaign. It all about getting the trust of the vendors (pushers) and the trust of the street (users). The first batches of drugs have to be pure or near-pure because that's how the name of the pills will be known and dissociated from all the other. The makers wants the street to name their brand next time they see their pushers. So, when they are creating a new brand (new name, size, color, etc), they need the street to be crazy about it so that way they'll get the marketing they want from mouth-to-ear. Next, the pill is well-known. People knows the name. People are asking for it.
Street is going crazy about your brand. The mouth-to-ear is so much powerful that it's time for improving profits. They don't need to push their sales anymore. Never forget that this is all about profits. The makers arent a bunch of fundamentaly rave-fan hippies trying to do so good in society by making pills.
Increasing profits is very simple. Diminuate the components that costs more. MDMA costs more. Cafeine costs less. Ephedrine costs less. The swap will be easy to do, especially when there's no way to really quantifiate the high you're getting. They know that their brand will die anyway in a mid-term period, so they just want to cash in profits.
That's why the quality is always getting worse, function of time, which is function of popularity.
It's very frequent to find 50% cafeine - 50% ephedrine pills on the market, sold as speed+bit of mdma. Always 1~2 years old brands.
As for the argument, sometime heard, that pills could be cut with cocaine sometimes, this cant be true, as explained above, since gross cocaine costs more than gross mdma. |
perfectly said
so to make sure what you're getting, try and get it from someone reliable. example i used to get it from someone that was doing it himself
also, get something new, never get the same pill you got two months ago, its no longer the same batch, its now crap.
and rumour of heroine and cocaine in it, what a load of crap.
cocaine can cost what 70 a gram, e cost like 10-15 a pill.
e is very cheap to make. where as cocaine is expensive, so just purely from and economics point of view it make no sence for a dealer to do this
from a highness point of view. now i've never done coke. but from what i know you get a rush for like 20 - 30 mins, then its like a low, so you have to take more, and so on and so on
e on the other hand, you take a smaller amount, and you're messed for a good 4hours high 2 -3 hours messed after
so not exactly something good to put in there.
makes no sence
