Comment on The only science fiction in 1984 by Orwell is that there is a drug that could make you "Happy"

  Completely depends on where you’re from and who you’re buying from, but not that I’ve ever seen.

  “lacing” drugs as a concept is about as reasonable as reefer madness.

  What on Earth would be the point of poisoning your customers?

  It’s not like MDMA is that hard to synthesise that there’s some sort of evil cabal of drug manufacturers who just all decide to poison a supply.

  Stop listening to propaganda. But also, be mindful of what you’re doing. That’s why testing points are quite common in more progressive countries.

  Because while “lacing drugs” is completely idiotic, selling for instance carfentanyl as MDMA is something that could very well happen.

    My own dealer told me to stop buying hash, because he’s seen it padded with random gunk. It’s not like the user can tell what’s in there.

    Afaik various random amphetamines are most often sold as molly and especially lsd, which latter is reportedly completely impossible to find clean in the parts of the world where I am.

      Unless youre getting some stone hard soap bar from the Russians, yeah, you can actually taste if there is or isn’t something added to your weed. Just like you would if I dipped your cigarette in petrol and let it dry out before you smoked it. It would be painfully obvious it’s adulterated.

      And again, for what reason? What is the motivation of adulterating drugs?

      Why would you sell someone amphetamines as lsd? First off, LSD is cheaper, by a lot. Secondly, you use them in completely different ways and one is stinky af and the other is completely tasteless. It’d be like trying to pass off coffee as hot chocolate. Do the drinks have some vague similarity and a person who doesn’t know what either means could be mistaken.

      But anyone who’s ever had a cup of coffee wouldn’t.

      especially lsd, which latter is reportedly completely impossible to find for real in the parts of the world where I am, except maybe for a thousand bucks a tab.

      Well sounds like you’re in, idk, some Asian country with extremely harsh drug laws? Even so, you could order it by post for 20 dollars a tab. You’d have to pay in crypto and there’s not a guarantee it makes it there, but just because you don’t know any sellers doesn’t mean it’s not there’s. You just don’t have the connections.

        Why would lsd be cheaper when it’s well-known that it’s difficult to produce? Whereas, from what I know, there are a whole bunch of different amphetamines, and e.g. meth is pretty abundant.

        A person who’s never tried actual lsd by the virtue of absence of such in their country, wouldn’t know what it should be like. They’d just have some buzz and a somewhat psychedelic effect from whatever they were sold. I’m not convinced you yourself got real lsd, if you think it’s cheaper than other drugs.

        And again, for what reason? What is the motivation of adulterating drugs?

        Do you seriously have trouble with the concept of why mixing flour into coke is beneficial for the dealer’s bottom line?
