So why get this over some non-gun branded scale that also measures in grains? It's not like "grain" is some super special gun specific measurement. I guess you can't load a mortar with the amazon one but 300 grains seems like more than enough
Eyeballing meth is a no go. A piece of meth the size of a grain of rice is enough to produce very strong effects if you don't have a large tolerance, it's super potent stuff.
BUY A SCALE AND THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN
I strongly recommend that you do not take this or any other powdered compound without measuring with a scale, each time. The type of phenibut (FAA/HCL), crystal size, different batches, how you load the spoon, etc., all make it hard to get reliable, repeated doses.
The scales are cheap--here is a very popular one on Amazon:

Phenibut can be a fantastic aid to better living--let us know how it goes!
I had a GemPro, just sold it this week and bought this one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
From the reviews, I think it will be approximately comparable to the GemPro250 for much less $.
It depends on what your measuring - if its 'flour like', 'sugar like', flakes, etc
Most good vendors will have a serving size on the package or give you a scoop - before I got my scale that's what I went by.
That said, its totally worth it to buy a scale. I got mine for like 20 bucks on amazon (it has a 20 gram limit). The thing to keep in mind is that when you measure small amounts, it can get really hard to get good measurements unless you're buying lab-grade equipment (and even then its not great), so if you use supplements that are dosed under say, 50-100mg, and its really important that you are accurate, read up on geometric dilution.
edit: this is the exact one I bought - at the time it was only $23. American Weigh Scales GEMINI-20 Portable MilliGram Scale
Depends on the dose. I like to keep water and chewing gum on-hand regardless. This can be applied to dosing alone or with friends in my experience.
- If I am not going to hole, generally I feel comfortable being on ketamine in most places. Not snorting it but being on it. This will come more naturally after you experience it a couple more times, and it is not so unknown (nerve racking).
​
- When I shoot for the hole I like to lay down in bed, and get the room darker if not eliminating all light whatsoever. Listening to music is nice, I prefer earbuds for this. Generally nicer to have an undisturbed area for this so you are not interrupted from your hole.
You say you are new to ketamine, get a scale if you don't have one already so you can measure out your doses. The go to is called the Gemini-20, available on amazon.
I bought this one off Amazon several years ago, and it’s worked great with no issues. I use it for measurements under 20g, for bitters and tincture making. It’s worked out well.
You shouldnt eyeball it because you notice a difference if you are off .01g, it will be fine but really you need to be consistent.
This is the one I use, but any thing like it that goes down to 0.001 milligram scale, and a little cup with pour spout is handy
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_5gP0Fb6VM4PZH
I've heard horror stories about this - but I've had this scale from amazon for a while, used it for this and that, and it's supposedly pretty solid with the calibration weight it comes with, am I right?
https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Check how accurate the scale is. You want one that shows milligrams. The difference between 110mg and 190mg is very considerable but they will both show up as 0.1g on most cheap scales. Look for the gemini-20 on Amazon, its the most recommended milligram scale.
https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
How come you won't buy a scale?
IF YOU CAN BUY SPEED YOU CAN BUY A FUCKING SCALE
Seriously, trying to dose like this doesn't seem like a good idea to me. You probably won't die, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
If you change your mind, here's a link to a nice, inexpensive and popular milligram scale!: Amazon: American Weigh Scales GEMINI-20
Oh, shit, I'm glad you asked that. I could've sworn they had changed the platform on the Gemini-20 to a wide, flat design since I had bought mine. Looks like I was mistaken. This (amazon link) is the one I have for reference. DON'T buy a scale with a platform like that if you want to weigh more than a few grams. For bud, you can fit one large nug. If you have small/medium sized nugs, you can only fit around 1.5-2g on there at a time. And even for powders, you can only fit a few grams as well. There's no way I can imagine that little bowl holding more than like 3g of anything at a time unless it's insanely dense, like some heavy ass metals.
You could buy some plastic/disposable weigh boats to give you a larger bowl to work with, but I haven't actually tried that, and it's not exactly the best solution.
You haven't mentioned your dosage at all, and in your response to /u/Swimsdoseydoses you refer to an amount "the size of a pinhead" as though that's an accurate description of a dose.
Forgive me for assuming the worst, but you yourself admitted to smoking it off tinfoil, so I have to ask if you are weighing your dose at all? It could be that you're taking obscene amounts of dmt, which won't end well. If you don't already own a milligram accurate scale, I'd recommend the Gemini scale from Amazon. If you're apprehensive, start with a dose of 10-15mg. You'll get visuals broadly in line with the comedown/afterglow of an "average" lsd trip :)
5mg to 2.5mg at once is too abrupt of a jump. A 10mg dose Escitalopram tablet weighs about 130mg so its easy to taper by a say 5 percent a week using a milligram scale and a pill splitter. This one is $20 at at Amazon and everybody who takes pharmaceutical or recreational drugs should own one: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Grab a coffee grinder and grind what you have into a powder for uniform potency. Then grab a milligram scale and some capsules off amazon. Then make your own capsules... Using a scale with that level of accuracy will allow you to make sure you know what dose you are getting and relelably repeat it time after time. I highly recommend this one. It's incredilby accurate for the $20 price. I use it almost every day for all sorts of small weight. I'd recommend starting with 0.1g (100mg) and going up from there if you feel the need. Happy dosing!!!
Get one accurate to .001
The gemeni digital scale on amazon is like $28 :
I have it, works great had it for about a year so far and it’s super durable and easy to use
1 level US teaspoon of granulated sugar is about 4g, so 1/8th tsp would be about 500mg. How close KSM 66 comes to that really depends on its density compared to granulated sugar - and it also can vary depending on factors like air humidity.
It's really not a good idea to take nootropics if you can't measure accurately. I'd recommend getting a scale like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/
500/10 = 50 doses. So either you need to be very exacting in measuring volume and divide the 500 into 50 equal volume doses, or you need to get a scale that you can measure 10mg with. Example
Get a scale. This one is pretty cheap, and if you can afford drugs you can afford this. A little over $20, and at least in my area it actually has free one shipping with Amazon Prime. Funnily enough the majority of the people I know who have scales have this one.
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
I read reviews that this scale is supposed to be one of the best for getting very accurate measurements for tapering.
The best milligram scale is the Gemini 20. It’s more expensive than some, but it is accurate and reliable. I’ve had mine for over 5 years and use it daily (for supplements).
I use a gemini-20, which is normally about $60, but is on sale now for $35 https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
It can be off by up to 5mg, however, anything cheaper, even if it displays in the single mg range, isn't likely to be any more accurate. Made harder as I don't think a lot of people actually bother to test their DMT scales.
The Gemini 20 scale is for sure the way to go. Here is a link for those who need it:
GEMINI-20 Portable Precision Digital Milligram Scale 20g x 0.001g (Silver), GEMINI-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MV16WEMB516K6R3EVYAM
This is very accurate and you’ll find replicas of this device because it’s that reliable! They have a 10 year warranty, not something your cheapy scale would offer
Order yourself a Gemini 20 scale and some empty gelatin capsules. Put one capsule one the scale and tare it. Then, put a small amount of your substance in the capsule and weigh. Add more or take some out, until you get your desired dose. The scale is a bit pricey, but it is high quality and will be the only one you ever need.
I recommend getting a Gemini 20 scale. It’s a little pricey, but that’s because it’s accurate and has a quality build. I’ve had mine for 7 or 8 years and have never had any issues.
It is made by American Weight Scale. The previous link I sent you is a knockoff. I cannot vouch for it.
Awesome product. I use these scales to weigh up my CBD (usually 10mg) in a half dosed S&B capsule then fill the rest of the capsule with more bud to sandwich it in.
These are what i have but they are very precise.. overkill really.
0.001g with +/- of about 4mg on average for me. (over 30mg that is... not accurate under that)

Yeah, I learned a few things going this route: - get a scale that’s milligram sensitive. Normal kitchen scale can be too blunt. I got something like thisscale - there are different sized capsules. Getting a capsule filled is kinda overboard. You can fill it with a small bowl and tweezers. - the dose that works well for you also depends on your interval. Taking something every other day can be different than four on three off - I think my sweet spot was around 85mg every other day.
I've only ever used a 0.001, I wouldn't trust a 0.01 to be accurate in small weights like that.
[This is the one I have and it's great.](gemini-20 portable precision digital milligram scale 20g x 0.001g (silver), gemini-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_YQS97H17DMQ2WFYAZAVW) You can find other milligram scales for about $20 but I can't speak to their accuracy.
No problem and it's all good. Get this if you can https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=mg+scale&qid=1630812406&sr=8-11#
There's not many mg scales that are accurate below 5mg. I'm not sure how accurate the cheapest ones are.
Also the Gemini scales have a tolerance of 1mg, but I'm not sure how much a trust that. Those are definitely common and affordable. I would have to read up on the regulating body which certifies that tolerance, and I don't want to do that.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_0S4ZAS9MPRSRERF0K1WZ
I highly recommend this one. Use it for 2cb and mdma its honestly only maybe 1-2 mgs off. So you will always have a good idea on how much your taking. Iv tried others or when not wanting to wait for shipping tried buying some from a smoke shop. They fucking suck. This is the only one that has ever worked for me.
It sounds like you've tried .1-.2mg 3-5 hours before bed and 1-2 hours, but, have you tried a higher dose in that 3-5 hour range?
Btw, if you're that sensitive to melatonin, perhaps something like this might help you obtain a more precise dose:

I found this to be the best. But you definitely want to liquid taper. If you don’t know how to do that let me know and I’ll send you directions when I’m back home
Well dmt is active in 15-60, caffeine and amphetamines are 10-150, so i think it's good enough.
This is the original Link btw. It has most reviews and starts.
https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
So you think the Black one is good? It looks pretty
Probably okay. A bit cheaper than I have often seen and one person mentions theirs was way off, but others saying it's fine. The most common scale is this:
https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
That used to be 20-25, so seems the cost went up.
The black one is the exact same and its 10$ less for some reason. I have both of them, and they are the same.
I got this one and so far readings have been accurate.
It has a 10g wright to calibrate it.
Good luck.
I have this one and it works great: AWS Scale
But there is another one on Amazon that looks just like it and about $10 cheaper.
Well I’m conflicted. The one I have is nice and I got it for 30 bucks. Seems to have gone up to 47. Fantastic scale tho.

I had one of those rebranded scales (mine wasn't a Hornady though), mine constantly was .5 to a full 2 grains off but would still show that it was the correct charge. I.E. the charge would show 22.6 but when I checked in on another scale it would show 24.6.
​
I got me one of these I got lucky and caught it on sale for 20$ but it's been a good scale. I also got a second digital scale and a Lee balance beam so that anytime I am feeling paranoid I can check them against each other. So far all three of these scales have agreed and I've never had an issue.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_C-DDFbX5VT8DN
I have one of these. Realistically you can do increments of about 10 milligrams on it. Combined with volumetric liquid dosing you should be able to get an exact dose pretty easily.
I personally use this scale it's usually the recommend scale when anyone asks. Of course any milligram scale will work but I can't express enough how important it is to get your doses right with dmt.
It sounds like you could possibly be using 100s of mgs per trip instead of < 50mg, which is considered a breakthrough dose, even 30-35mg can be breakthrough doses depending on your method.
I have used this one for a few years and I like it. https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=mg+scale+for+weighing+powders&qid=1596418174&sprefix=mg+scake&sr=8-5
After almost two years, this has never failed me. There are likely better options, but I can't speak on those as I haven't tried them. Doesn't say ml, but it's a start.
1 - This I use for precision, such as single servings and micro dosing, up to .000g
Cheers!
This is how I microdose with my PAX. If you’re a weirdo like me, get yourself a milligram scale like this to know exactly how much you need to get the high you want.
Super fucking efficient.
Yeah, don't do that. Get a small scale from Amazon rated to 0.001g and squeeze out your dose onto that so that you can do an accurate daily dosage. This is the scale I use for powders or gels.
Capsules typically cost 2-3x as much bulk powder and you are stuck using whatever increments they use for the capsule which makes tapering trickier than it needs to be.
Trust me, for a good taper you want to be as precise as possible. Get yourself a $26 milligram scale at Amazon, it isn't hard to use.
Honestly probably wasting alot , and using less (measuring your dosages) can help you from over bingeing.
Harm reduction link, no sponsorship.
A scale like this Amazon- Milligram Scale
Would keep you safer. Otherwise any scale that goes to .000 , called a Milligram scale(there are cheaper ones on Amazon).
Milligram scales can effectively measure small powder or crystalline structure substance. Like : cocaine, Molly, meth, dmt, ect powdered substances.
Not only will you know exactly how much you have from the start, you can prevent overdoses because it will be the most accurate up to 1mg.
Hope this helps buddy. Safety is key with any drug, even the hard ones especially
Ah ha! Thought I might have bought it on amazon and I was right. Also, it is a Gemini.

This was the first one that popped up (with decent reviews). Good deal atm too, probably for cyber monday?
I have it myself and it works well until around 0.2mg doses. I believe the 2mg pills weigh 100mg and the scale has a 4mg margin for error. At that point you have to start volumetric dosing anyway really... and it's much easier to drop a 2mg pill into an eyedropper every ~10 days
No one can tell from just looking. In my experience, it always looks like too little and ends up being exactly what I was told. Never ever trust your eyes (or a friend’s).
Regardless, you’ll need one of these. Read up on doses and pack them yourself. Never eyeball it.
20 bucks man, here
$20 on Amazon:

That brand of scale is surprisingly accurate for the price. That's the exact pair I use and they came calibrated right on the money. None of them are particularly good at weighing under a gram though. If you're thinking of weighing powder for microdosing (or weighing DMT doses) I would look at getting a pair of milligram scales like these: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1528386607&sr=1-4&keywords=digital+scale+milligram
Speaking from personal experience, this scale kicks ass
That scale has seen maaaany substances. In fact, used it just the other day for some MDMA.

If you want any degree of accuracy, yes. You also need filter funnels, bubblers, and a reasonably accurate means of weighing. You need an aquarium pump, flowmeter and stopwatch so you can calculate the volume of air passing through the bubbler.
You can buy usable balances from Amazon or ebay. This one claims to be good to 1 milligram, which is hard to believe. I use a jeweler's scale, with is reliable to 10 milligrams. Barium chloride is available cheaply from Amazon.
You can buy CO2 sensors, too, but they are not cheap and you still have to measure the volume of air to calculate the total CO2 produced.
I'd recommend a milligram scale so that you can measure exactly how much potassium and sodium you're getting from these spoons. I use this one. Use the guidance in the FAQ to figure out what numbers to hit.
If you're gonna spend $10 on those, you might as well buy a full featured scale like this one for only $15 more. On the frequently bought together part, it lists the scale, a scooper, and empty pill capsules for $40.
>I'm not affiliated with any of the company's that produce/distribute the product(s) I promoted (including amazon). Just trying to save you a few bucks
But make sure you don't ever put anything more than 20 g on it. It is kind of fragile. Also, if you are weighing something really small and less than 5 mg or so, it will work better if you put a penny or something on it with your substance and subtract the weight of the penny. These scales aren't as accurate with really lightweight things.
You need a milligram scale if you are taking supplements in the form of loose powder. I use this one.
A teaspoon is a measure of volume, not weight. Ignore that part of the nutrition label and focus on the weight. Use that to determine how much to pour onto the scale.
I have two. I use this one the most. It is extremely accurate if you were ever planning to weigh other things with it. This is not a scale for weighting over 20 grams at a time Carats, grams, oz, ozt (troy ounce), dwt (penny weight), gn (grain) https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498966127&sr=8-1&keywords=scale+.001
I really like my Lee manual, I use it all the time and prefer it's layout over others. So long as you don't get one from a bullet manf. you should be good as the ones from the bullet makers only contain data for their bullets.
For a affordable digital scale I'd toss out the AWS Gemini 20(link below) I use it to load for my .308 precision gun.
I weigh other things which require mg measurements and have this along with the standard AWS 1/10th gram scale. I like to be accurate.
I use this scale for all of my powders. You may be able to find it locally or one like it, a lot of headshops sell them, but make sure it can measure 0.001 g or 1 mg. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. The capsule will make it be absorbed faster than a tablet, but slower than a liquid when taken orally. If you smoke it or boof it, it'll be absorbed much faster which is responsible for the rush.
Get a 0.001 scale NOT a 0.01... This one is good for the price: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Measure the weight several times to get it correct. Only mess with this stuff if you're ready to experience some intense shit. Always have a sitter if you go for bigger doses..
Would that scale work? I ask because I can get it 2 day shipping.
Get a scale before you fuck up and do something stupid. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=asc_df_B0012TDNAM4903008/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B0012TDNAM&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167134584690&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13526686208092522635&hvpone=&hv...
Easily the most affordable and accurate scale on the market. I couldn't recommend more.
Of course, you'll still have to use volumetric dosing, but the Gemini 20 is the best drug related purchase I've ever made right after reagent tests.
Dried or fresh? Dried and ground with a cheap coffee grinder and then weighed was much more consistent for me. This scale works great:

Once you've settled on a dosage size, load up a 0 or 00 gel capsule and note how 'full' it is...then fill future capsules to that position more or less.
nutravitashop.com is a great site with good prices, you just need a milligram scale. There's a really great one for like $20, it's cheap too! Here's a link
I use 50-75mg DMAA, 200-300mg caffeine, and 3.2-4g beta alanine. I also take 5g creatine, a multivitamin daily, and an appetite suppressant/fat burner daily, but not necessarily before I workout, usually in the mornings.
Citrulline Malate is also really good, I'm pretty sure the clinical dosage is 6-8g but do your research, and that's for anything you plan on adding as well. You probably won't need anything other than those as those are the only things that really give a noticeable difference. Personally, when I do my custom pre-workout vs a company's pre-workout, I can't tell the difference.
I also put in a sugar free Hawaiian Punch packet or half a packet. Make sure to get different flavors because you'll get tired of them quick. I also recommend taking it like a shot if you forego the flavors for cost because that shit will taste horrendous.
If you plan on doing this regularly, spend the $30 and get a scale like this one. I use it all the time, worth the money https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487723829&sr=8-1&keywords=gemini+scale
The Gemini 20 is the most popular scale around on /r/drugs You can find it on Amazon, but there might be other places that have it too.
I don't know how good this scale is so can't really comment on that.
I had a GemPro 250, and I opted to downgrade to this one
I find that it is just as accurate, just slightly more cumbersome to use. I would rather spend the extra money on components / dies.
This is the cheapest one that I could find. It does a reasonably good job and is actually on sale right now.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I first got my phyto, I thought it looked really small. I didn't weight it, but as I used it I realized that you use a really small amount each time. The first time I used it, I measured out 50mg, thinking it was 5mg.
I use this 'un https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use it a few times a week. The only con is that the measurement "sticks" a bit with increments less than 5mg. What I mean is, if you are adding 1mg at a time, the display might not change, and then it will change up by 5mg when you have added 5mg. So, while it does technically have 1mg precision, if you really really need 1mg accuracy you might want to double check.
Other than that, it's been great.
Have used mesomorph and really liked it, but since I'm pretty frugal I now go for just the pure stuff. I picked it up at nutrivitashop.com and got a milligram scale (SUPER IMPORTANT), and I've never paid so little for such a great pre-workout before. The one downside is the time. It takes a lot of patience measuring out ingredients, especially because you can't just plop down some powder and you have to be careful not to put too much. For the money, you might just find it's worth paying a bit extra for mesomorph and getting the ease of a scoop. If I had any left, I liked to vary between choices like whether I wanted mesomorph or my stuff.
My go-to formula is
- 200-300mg caffeine
- 30-50mg DMAA
- 3200-4000mg beta alanine
Mesomorph has all of those ingredients in basically those dosages, with extra stuff too tho
I'm used to it being shit.

Still $30 CAD lol. Googled conversion because I was curious. $1 CAD = 0.74 USD according to Google right now. Still pretty shit IMO.
For beginner dose it seems to vary, I experimented on Saturday for the first time and started at 10mg since it's possible to do more later if you need to. I had planned on adding onto that dose after an hour if I wanted to, but I was enjoying the (fun but modest) effects for more like 2-3 hours. I did end up adding another 10mg but it was at the 3 hour mark so it mainly prolonged the subtle effects.
After a couple hours after those two 10mg doses, I did something that was closer to 15-20mg. That amount took me from the subtle effects into something that was quite a bit stronger but still functional (I could walk, talk, most everything normally). At that point I seemed to "connect" a lot of memories that I seemed to have forgotten during my days of DXM usage, and after the whole thing was over I felt like I had regained part of my brain or soul or something, and felt like a better person overall.
I stuck to low doses because I really don't enjoy mind blowing experiences much anymore and I needed to be somewhat functional. When I have time to experiement more I'll try something higher and see what that brings.
This is a popular one around here. I have this one, and it's accurate without being expensive.

That scale is cheap and very accurate.
As for how to... simple. That scale comes with tweezers, and your amp delivery should be in a small ziplock bag. Use the tweezers to drop some pinches on to the scale until you hit your desired dose, then dump it on something like a large dinner plate. Then you take one end of your open gel cap in each hand and use one end to shovel the powder into the other end. It's very quick and easy. Generally I put together 30 caps at once and it takes me about 15 minutes total. Since you're only putting 30mg or so in each cap just about any size cap will do.
$58 for 2g powder, $20 for the scale, $7 for a few hundred gel caps. $85 total investment for 66 30mg pills about the exact strength as 30mgs of adderall.
Generally the premade speed pills you find on the markets have caffeine or other cuts in them, and they're always much more expensive and much less effective. I've been using this method in place of adderall for a good while now with no problems at all. After trying aboout a dozen amphetamine vendors I stuck with SSBros gear since it's by far the best I've found and very honestly almost identical strength to adderall. After getting bunk batches from other vendors where it did nothing or I had to take 200mg+ to match 30-40mg adderall... yeah, finding Superspeedbros was a godsend. I've used the USA distributor and the main account both repeatedly. The USA reseller is faster and safer, but a bit more expensive. Either way they're both legit and SSBros have been making their own amp since SR1.
Tip: Generally to central US the main account takes around 20 days and the usa account takes 2-10 depending on stock levels. And yeah, I know I have to sound like a shill but once you try it you'll understand. :)
how about this one?
and should i put it under my tongue and let it absorb then swallow or just do the old "toss n wash" method
Yea. I'm glad that I figured it out. It'll make the tiny, cute little container of CBD last a lot longer. ;)
Here's a link to the scale, if you're interested. It's pretty good. Not as accurate as a really expensive scale, but definitely good enough.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would say orally and 15-20mg for first time. Make sure to buy a mg scale so you aren't eye balling it....
No I got a milligrams capable scale one used for precious stones and made a powder of my mushrooms that I added to my chocolate preparation.
I also had to learn the proper way to melt and prepare my organic dark chocolate. The method is called "chocolate tempering".
havent tried anyone of these two, GEMINI-20 Portable MilliGram http://www.amazon.in/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1459693001&sr=8-4&keywords=0.001g+weighing+scale
Isnt that great makes an error about +- 2-3 grams, if you are patient you can order a better one from us amazon.
Exactly, powder is no more "dangerous" than any other DXM product, BUT you've got to measure your shit accurately. Here's a product so inexpensive, yet so nice, I think that everyone should have one of these in their arsenal: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1471394800&sr=8-2&keywords=cheap+milligram+scale
I'd like to buy a scale for when I get some, I'm just not sure of the scale to choose. Hard to find one that's relatively "cheap", but still very accurate. Although, I have found one that is acceptable, 20g x 1mg, not bad at all. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM . (Going to assume I can post this link.. let's see.)
We always suggest using a balance/scale for dosing as scoops are highly unreliable in measuring. We do not include any type of scoop as they are not reliable nor do they measure in mg. All powders have different densities and therefore they shouldn't be measure using one.
We do not carry scoops, as we feel they promote the misuse of products. You should never use any compound without accurately weighing it with a milligram scale. It's for your own safety. Our customer's safety is priority #1.
We have found that the Gemini 20 is a decent scale at a decent price. Of course, this isn't an official endorsement of it. I have provided a link below.
Do yourself a favor and get a scale. Volumetric measuring is very inaccurate because its not a liquid and different densities, etc.
Keep track of how much you are taking, how you are taking it and what you are ingesting after/before your dose.
Experiment! Look into potentiates. Find your optimal dose. Use the search function in the sub. There are thousands of posts out there to dig through.
Best scale for measuring doses.
Are you sure this is MDMA? that powder looks pretty fine to be straight up MDMA.
Please do yourself a favor and buy a test kit before taking this stuff. Also buy yourself a $20 scale from amazon.. below is the link for the one I bought..
It's not perfect, I'd never use it for something with 1-2mg doses, but even at 5mg it's surprisingly accurate for the price, and above 10mg it's very good.
After a year plus of use and abuse including tossing and dropping mine the 10g test weight always weighs within 1-2mg.
Well, you're probably going to have to volumetric dose your Clonaz to even hope to do this reasonably. 50/50 Distilled White Vinegar and Everclear should do the trick for your solution. 50mg in 100mL. (Links to accurate scale and volumetric flask included)
Place the flask on the balance, add the 50mg CAREFULLY. Fill to the mark on the neck. You can YouTube proper use of a volumetric flask.
Makes your current dose 2mL. Use a 3mL syringe so you can get the tenths pretty precisely. When I want to use GBL, that's what I use, and its been consistent. I'd start dosing your current dose for 2 weeks to get the feel of volumetric dosing.
Reduce your Clonaz dose by 0.2mg (0.4mL) every 2 weeks until off.
W^(0): 2.0mL, W^(2): 1.6mL, W^(4): 1.2mL, W^(6): 0.8mL, W^(8):0.4mL, Done. Takes 8-10 weeks.
​
I'm not as familiar with phenibut, but I'd probably stagger the tapering off, so you don't murder your brain. On week 3 of your Clonaz taper, start your Phenibut taper.
W^(3): 2.0g, W^(5): 1.6g, W^(7): 1.2g, W^(9): 0.8g, W^(11): 0.4g, Done. At the start of week 13, you're clear of both substances.
​
As a proof of strength-of-self, flush any remaining. Write notes to yourself on a mirror for encouragement (sharpie comes off with rubbing alcohol - or just dry erase)
​
Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me along your Journey or when you're done.
It depends on what you're looking for:
Honestly, the best "starter" is probably weed or alcohol. Alcohol isn't a huge favorite of mine, but if you take about 4-6 "units" of alcohol (like shots, or beers, or whatever) and then smoke a joint, that's a pretty nice combo for me. In terms of euphoria, pain relief, contentedness, etc.
I'd recommend trying both separately before you get both.
Tobacco is...not that great, and really unpleasant overall for me. If you're interested in that, try going to a hookah bar, that's probably the best experience for the least amount of money. Getting a decent e-cig is another good way, but way more expensive than a night at a hookah bar.
Other than that:
MDMA has CRAZY euphoria and is a unique experience, I think, from almost any other drug.
2C-B is an excellent starter psychedelic.
Amphetamines are great party and "work" drugs, for me. Unfortunately, this means I have a tendency to over-use them, so I avoid them.
MXE or Ketamine are another "weird" class of drugs to me, psychedelic elements definitely, but dissociatives are unique.
LSD or shrooms: I'd reccomend those after you play with MDMA/ 2C-B a few times. Low doses are much more manageable, but 2C-B is way more forgiving if you are a little too excited and dose to high (in terms of mind fuck).
Other miscellaneous advice: Get a milligram scale if you use anything dosed in that range (like 2C-B). http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM Don't eyeball anything that you dose in mg, it's not safe, and even if you wouldn't die from a large dose, it's nicer to be able to guess how altered you will be.
Order from the darknet. You don't have to deal with teenagers, with sketchy drug dealers, with bad neighborhoods, or anything. Just go to /r/darknetmarketsnoobs and read about everything. It's not complicated, it's safe if you follow those guides, and you avoid direct dealing with the criminal element you normally have to. It's like shopping on amazon instead of craigslist.
Get a test kit: even though the darknetmarkets are wonderful, and if you order from a trusted vendor you shouldn't worry, a test kit is essential . Mix-ups happen, and you don't want the guy who should have sent you DiPT to send you acetyl-fentanyl. If you're buying on the street, all the more reason, as drug dealers there have EVERY incentive to give you cheaper drugs (like 25i) instead of LSD, and even if they THINK they have LSD they won't bother checking.
In short: start with legal drugs just because of ease of accessibility, build to less legal substances, build towards more dangerous or more intense substances.
Always exercise caution when using a new substance, unless you're okay with being overwhelmed. Always have a trip sitter for anything more than a very moderate dose of a new substance, or if you are dosing higher than you have before.
And lastly, always research thoroughly before you even think about buying something. Erowid is a great resource for figuring out "how much" to take of practically anything. It is also a good place to figure out some idea of how each drug "feels". Describing drugs is like describing dreams, you can capture the idea, but not the experience. However, it's better to have a good idea of the "concept" of each drug before you try, so you're not just thrown in to a crazy experience with no context.
Also, learn about safe use of each drug: how quick does tolerance build, can I take this everyday, every week, every month, every 6 months? What happens if I over-use this drug? How bad are withdrawals if I stop? Etc. (examples: MDMA is VERY safe if you dose only once every 6 months, if you don't redose in the same night it's safer, if you don't mix with other stimulants it is safer, etc. LSD is really "safe" physically: you basically can't "overdose", but it's a potent psychedelic, you probably wouldn't want to take over 150ug your first time, it builds tolerance really quick, you'd need to double your dose if you wanted to trip the next day. It's not addictive physically, but people can get hooked on any experience).
Feel free to stalk my comment history, but here's a link to my drug history in brief: https://www.reddit.com/r/Drugs/comments/2uihxq/what_was_your_drug_progression/co9cvlm
Google the Ashton Manual (https://benzo.org.uk/manual/). It was developed by Professor Heather Ashton of Newcastle University - Institute of Neuroscience. She developed an effective, safe protocol for benzodiazepine withdrawal. As u/Angry_Jonny indicated, you should switch to a longer half-life bezodiazepine like Valium or Klonopin, then wean yourself very slowly over months. Buy a cheap but accurate digital scale from Amazon like this one and make 10% cuts. https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1531600375&sr=8-4&keywords=milligram+scale
Read the manual and good luck.
Yeah, unfortunately, a lot of those are sold by 3rd parties and are fake. I have purchased 2 of them from Amazon with no problems, however, you have to really pay attention to who is selling it. A set of Gemni-20's should be around $40. You should not see them for $16.
To the OP, there are tons of good milligram scales out there that are inexpensive and accurate. The other person mentioned the Homgeek Mini Scale. Those are manufactured by a single manufacturer and are sold under 100 different names.
As I said, I haven't had a problem with either of my Gemini-20 scales and still use them today. There can certainly be some that operate outside of the accepted variance however they tend to be pretty rare. The key is having good fresh batteries and following the detailed instructions on how to calibrate the scale. It's not as simple as just setting it against the reference weight they include. There are a couple of steps involved in getting them calibrated. The instructions are included with the scale and are available online.
Given that I am such a stickler for accuracy, I invest in a set of AWS reference weights. These give you a greater ranges and multiple points to check your accuracy. I highly recommend them. I also recommend having two sets of scales if you can swing it. It's much easier to verify your weights when you have two scales dialed in and can reference off one another.
Notice these are real AWS scales:
These products that are "Products related to this item" are knock offs:
Granted the knock offs are quite likely to be just as accurate, but I would imagine they would have a higher defect rate. Realistically, they likely come off the same manufacturing line.
Here are the reference calibration weights that I mentioned:
​
Also note: Real AWS scales have a 10 year warranty on them. You should be able to contact them for a replacement pretty easily.
BUY A SCALE PLEASE
You can learn more about scales here: PsychonautWiki: Milligram Scales
I use this scale personally, it has served me very well: Amazon: American Weigh Scales GEMINI-20
Remember that meth doses are quite tiny visually. Meth "lines" are more like "bumps" than actual lines, if that makes sense.
When eyeballing meth I sniff matchhead sized piles (after crushing the crystals into a very fine powder) and slowly build the high up. I rarely eyeball my doses though, it never works out well for me when I do.
BUY A SCALE
IF YOU CAN BUY SPEED YOU CAN BUY A FUCKING SCALE
Dude just amazon prime the Gemini mg scale right now it’s like $25
American Weigh Scales GEMINI-20 Portable MilliGram Scale, 20 by 0.001 G https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZOinBb0XN299M
Just go with the Gemini-20 from Amazon. That scale meets 95% of RC researchers needs, and it's $19.99.
Get a test kit before anything. Then get a digital milligram scale. The combo will cost you about 50 bucks off Amazon, but it is very worth it for your health. And you can use both over and over.
As for dosage, it all depends on your size and how many times you've done it before. See Erowid for more info
I highly discourage using micro scoops for 3-MeO-PCP because of its high potency (a strong dose is 10mg without tolerance) and potential for psychosis and manic behavior. Since a red scoop is often said to hold 10mg, the recommended dose would likely be much less than a full red micro scoop.
A decent milligram scale, the Gemini-20, is $17 on amazon.
If you want to learn how to volumetrically dose (a scale is required for this), then I recommend looking at these two websites:
Here is a $20 scale on Amazon -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ -- please get this or another scale to make sure you know how much you're using. That's the first step to debugging your problem.
I bought this one off Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have the same scale and mine has been working fine for over a year now. From my observations I'd say it's exact to about 3mg.
It's unclear if this is really a knock off or just the same model sold under a different brand. That's pretty common for Chinese manufacturers.
The Gemini 20 costs around 23 $ as well. So no big difference there.
You can try buying a Dipse FB-20 or a G&G 20g scale for about the same amount. I've also had this G&G 50g/0,001g scale which sadly couldn't even stay calibrated within 5mg. I've recently looked at the JScale JSVG 20 for 139€ hoping to get better precision out of it. The GemPro 250 is also recommended in Psychonaut Wiki, but costs over 200€.
The truth is though, that these cheap scales just aren't very accurate. If you read the amazon reviews on any of these (US and Germany) you see that there are a significant amount people with broken or unreliable scales.
If you absolutely need better precision than 5mg, then you need to invest more than 1000$€ or rely on volumetric dosing. Also keep in mind, that the scales are more accurate in the middle of their range. So place 5g or 10g onto the scale when you weigh a substance.
Maybe you can return yours under warranty.
Invest in a scale. This is a great one on Amazon that's not expensive:

When you have responsibilities in life that you can't take time to be absent from, a long slow taper such as what's recommended in this taper guide is highly recommended.
My SO and I have been on this plan since Jan. 21 and we're both down to 10 gpd from a Max of 40-50 gpd.
It does seem like a lot of work, but once you get into the routine it really isn't that bad.
Get a scale, similar to this milligram scale
Also, if you need a convenient way to dose during the day, you can mix your doses with a little bit of water and store them in small reusable bottles like these bottles
It seems like a lot of work but it really isn't, and it's worth it. Once you start, you will quickly adjust to the routine.
Also don't forget about supplements like Agmatine, magnesium (at night), DLPA, etc. they really help a lot.
Highly recommend this one
GEMINI-20 Portable Precision... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM
Dude, just buy this scale from amazon for $20. It's well worth the money and waaaaay more accurate than trying to weigh with a scoop. Scoops are quite a poor measure.
You can get one for like $20 on Amazon.
Buy a new/better scale. This one's awesome, and $20 on Amazon:
Make a nasal spray or just cap some up after you purchase a $20 scale on amazon that can weigh milligrams.
​
https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Yup yup. You can get yourself a totally usable milligram range scale (as far as I can recall, it's accurate +/- ~2mg or so). The one I have is the American Weigh AWS Gemini-20 which weighs up to 20 g X 0.001g, comes in a nice little setup with a hinged cover, calibration weight, tweezers and a little metal weighing dish to use that has a sort of funnel kinda tip on it that's perfect to use for filling up capsules and stuff. I paid about $22-23 bucks on Amazon with free shipping, came in a day. Keep in mind you shouldn't measure less than 10mg with this thing, and if you have anything that's requiring exact milligram accuracy where 1 mg in either direction can make a world of difference, obviously you should be using a far more expensive scale because this won't be good for that. But otherwise, for something like K and 90% of drugs/RCs, etc. you can absolutely use this...make sure you're weighing at least 5mg with it and use it away from any fans/wind flow, put a little flat piece of glass or a piece of anti-static weigh paper/wax paper on top of the weighing tray to stop things from sticking to it.

To answer your question about the 0.13 mg pills, the easiest way is to buy a 0.001 g jewelry scale on Amazon. Crush a pill and weigh the powder. For example, if all the powder from one of your 0.20 mg pills weighs 200 mg (like my 2mg subutex pills) you would need to weigh out 130 mg ((0.13/0.20) x 200 = 130) for a 0.13 mg dose.
I do this for my subutex pills using this scale I got on amazon which works great because it comes with a little tray to hold the powder: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3NWZODOVZVFTQ&dchild=1&keywords=0.001+gram+scale&qid=1591800258&sprefix=0.001+%2Caps%2C312&sr=8-7
If you don't want to get a scale you can just crush the pill and divide the powder in half and then keep dividing one of the halves in half until you get as close as possible to the dose you want. You could easily get to 0.125mg this way. This method is much more time-consuming than the scale though.
PS--that taper is very rapid and is going to be challenging. Best of luck! The ideal would be 6-8 months to go from 1 mg to 0.125 mg as painlessly as possible.
I really like this one. Very accurate for weighing CBD isolates.

No! Cheap scales like that one aren’t accurate enough (especially if you plan on doing any 5-MeO but even if you don’t). You need to spend at least $40 on the Gemini-20 (which looks like this one, so it’s probably what a lot of people are thinking of when they say it works great) or the Feedron Jewelers Scale. Otherwise, you’ll only get accuracy to within 3-5mg, which isn’t enough.
The Gemini-20 is popular, it's the one I use.
GEMINI-20 It's on sale right now. Would highly recommend. Been using it for over 2 years now with no issues.
The Gemini-20 is very popular HERE. It's the one I use.
Will measure down to .001 gram.
I made a post elsewhere, but I'll repost it here cause nobody likes clicking a link if they don't need to.
As a caveat, this applies to people buying and selling drugs through traditional channels. Darkweb folk and people in other areas of the world will have different dynamics at play, sometimes drastically. This is just a breakdown of how it happens in my neck of the woods.
There's a bit misconception among the public, really egged on by certain sensationalist photos that people on the street are buying, selling, or attempting to inject pure fentanyl or fentanyl analogues. This is where you get all those breathless reports about low level drug dealers being found with "5 oz of fentanyl - enough to kill everybody in the country 350 times!" and the such. In reality, on anything past the distributional level (ie cartels and organized crime for the most part), fentanyl and its cousins are sold in mixtures which are overwhelmingly buffer, with just a tiny portion of the powder being an active substance.
The purity and the kind of buffer differs a lot geographically - in my area of Western Canada, where fentanyl has completely displaced other opioids, it's typically a brightly dyed, gummy sugary substance, with differing colours used to distinguish different suppliers and batches. The exact mix is a broadly moving target, once again mainly due to your proximity to the street, but in 2019 the DEA pegged the range for seizures from 100-999g as 4.5% and for 1kg+ as 9.2%, which should give you an idea of how quickly purity gets stepped down as you approach street level. 100g, the lowest level they're bothering to report, is still a fairly large amount of fentanyl by the standards of the low level drug trade. Assuming $100/gram retail value, that's still $10,000 in inventory - not exactly in reach of dudes with tinfoil over their windows. By the time it makes its way to the corner, where it's being sold as 100mg or less bags, overwhelmingly by people just trying to support their own habits, the purity can be expected to be halved again or more - around here they mash pixie sticks into it, or cook up a point at a time and dilute it to fill pre-loaded syringes that sell for just a few dollars each.
The big driver of overdose is the rapid stepping down of quality you see at each level in the distribution network. At high levels, fentanyl is a big business and they have some very good quality equipment they're using. This isn't due to care for the people taking the drugs - it's for inventory control and consistency. If the amount of useful drug you're handing to your partners on the city level are swinging in purity by huge amounts without warning, that means they never know whether or not they're getting what they think they are, and that makes wealthy people with a lot of weapons nervous and upset. It's typical to see sophisticated techniques like spray deposition being used to produce uniform and high quality dilutions for handling - the results look a bit like glass candy, just a bit duller and are fairly reliable. The two caveats being that purity/composition, even if uniform throughout the batch, will shift without warning (the two most famous "innovations" being carfentanil and etizolam), and that defective batches don't get recalled or labeled - they just get price adjusted at a high level.
The further down you get, though, the less money is changing hands and the less sophisticated the people doing the cutting are. You start to see techniques that might be as crude as using a food processor and a $20 scale by the time you're at the local level. When you're using crude techniques like powdering these sheets of fentanyl dilution using a mortar and pestle (or even a hammer and a ziplock bag), then chucking it into a food processor with caffeine and food colouring, or whatever else you're using, you start to run into mixing issues. The powder you ground you drug into isn't going to be a uniform size, the food processor will have areas where bits of drug (or cuts) can collect, the people hand carding the powder for final mixing and packaging might not be very thorough or invested.
At this point you start to see more and more of a dynamic we colloquially refer to as the "chocolate chip cookie effect". When you buy a box of Mr. Christie's, you expect a pretty uniform - even scientific - level of chocolate chips throughout, and outside of manufacturing defect you receive exactly that. When you're making them at home, however, even if you exercise a good bit of care and pride in your baking, it can be nearly impossible to end up with a uniform mixture of chocolate chips. Most will have the same amount, a few will get shortchanged, and a few well... they're either "the good ones" or "the bad ones", depending on your perspective. By the time you've made it to the street level, where cuts might be done using a bank card and a lighter immediately before sale, any hope of uniform mixing has gone completely out the window.
The same factors which create this "chocolate chip cookie effect" are likely responsible for the presence of fentanyl contamination among other drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine. Fentanyl being cut into other drugs to make them "more addictive" or "more potent" is a myth. People want what they want, and for the majority of the population who aren't particularly in love with opioids, accidentally smoking or snorting a chunk of fentanyl will make them feel nauseous, irritable, tired, and maybe even cause them to fall out altogether and wake up disoriented and scared - not what they were after, and not something they'll want again. Fentanyl, like all other drugs, takes weeks or months to develop a proper dependence for, and the chances of someone becoming "stealth addicted" to contamination are much lower than abandoning their dealer or just, well... dying. It just doesn't make sense.
So what's happening here?
Someone at these low levels of distribution is unlikely to have much of an understanding or education on safe drug handling, and I'd frankly not trust most of them to cook me a chicken sandwich without giving me salmonella. Equipment gets reused between batches and crucially, across substances. Remember those pockets of fentanyl that get stuck in the cutting equipment, around screws and in the little nooks and crannies? If you clean those out, you're going to lose good product and precious time, so maybe you don't wash them off and you don't waste your time meticulously dislodging them - it'll just reaccumulate as soon as you do another batch up anyway. This means that when you go to chuck a batch of cocaine in there with some caffeine and spin it up, it might dislodge a bit of that fentanyl/cut mixture. Not a ton, mind you - just a bit. That little bit isn't enough to make the entire batch poisonous, but it sometimes stays clumped enough to make the bags those particles land in an overdose waiting to happen. This doesn't just apply to the mixing equipment. The cheap scales people use have numerous places for powder to accumulate, spoons don't get washed, the trays they're using might be little more than a smooth cafeteria tray - easily scratched up - if they're not just using a table.
There's a lot more to cover, if I had the space and time - a major game changer the past few years was the move away from low levels of nitrazepam found in counterfeit OC80s only and towards extremely high levels of etizolam co-occuring in nearly all fentanyl being distributed. The increasingly frequent presence of isotonitazene, etonitazepyne, and other benzimidazole opioids has me personally very concerned, and I strongly believe poisonings are going unreported because they are occurring in the context of multi-drug, multi-opioid toxicity and detection capabilities are so far behind the trends. There's the whole can of worms which are Fentanyl Touch Overdoses, Which Do Not Exist that would require a post of similar length to thoroughly debunk.
Just to chime in here/hijack the top reply, but I work with IV drug users, most specifically ones who consume primarily opioids, and do a lot of education re: fentanyl.
There's a bit misconception among the public, really egged on by certain sensationalist photos that people on the street are buying, selling, or attempting to inject pure fentanyl or fentanyl analogues. This is where you get all those breathless reports about low level drug dealers being found with "5 oz of fentanyl - enough to kill everybody in the country 350 times!" and the such. In reality, on anything past the distributional level (ie cartels and organized crime for the most part), fentanyl and its cousins are sold in mixtures which are overwhelmingly buffer, with just a tiny portion of the powder being an active substance.
The purity and the kind of buffer differs a lot geographically - in my area of Western Canada, where fentanyl has completely displaced other opioids, it's typically a brightly dyed, gummy sugary substance, with differing colours used to distinguish different suppliers and batches. The exact mix is a broadly moving target, once again mainly due to your proximity to the street, but in 2019 the DEA pegged the range for seizures from 100-999g as 4.5% and for 1kg+ as 9.2%, which should give you an idea of how quickly purity gets stepped down as you approach street level. 100g, the lowest level they're bothering to report, is still a fairly large amount of fentanyl by the standards of the low level drug trade. Assuming $100/gram retail value, that's still $10,000 in inventory - not exactly in reach of dudes with tinfoil over their windows. By the time it makes its way to the corner, where it's being sold as 100mg or less bags, overwhelmingly by people just trying to support their own habits, the purity can be expected to be halved again or more - around here they mash pixie sticks into it, or cook up a point at a time and dilute it to fill pre-loaded syringes that sell for just a few dollars each.
The big driver of overdose is the rapid stepping down of quality you see at each level in the distribution network. At high levels, fentanyl is a big business and they have some very good quality equipment they're using. This isn't due to care for the people taking the drugs - it's for inventory control and consistency. If the amount of useful drug you're handing to your partners on the city level are swinging in purity by huge amounts without warning, that means they never know whether or not they're getting what they think they are, and that makes wealthy people with a lot of weapons nervous and upset. It's typical to see sophisticated techniques like spray deposition being used to produce uniform and high quality dilutions for handling - the results look a bit like glass candy, just a bit duller and are fairly reliable. The two caveats being that purity/composition, even if uniform throughout the batch, will shift without warning (the two most famous "innovations" being carfentanil and etizolam), and that defective batches don't get recalled or labeled - they just get price adjusted at a high level.
The further down you get, though, the less money is changing hands and the less sophisticated the people doing the cutting are. You start to see techniques that might be as crude as using a food processor and a $20 scale by the time you're at the local level. When you're using crude techniques like powdering these sheets of fentanyl dilution using a mortar and pestle (or even a hammer and a ziplock bag), then chucking it into a food processor with caffeine and food colouring, or whatever else you're using, you start to run into mixing issues. The powder you ground you drug into isn't going to be a uniform size, the food processor will have areas where bits of drug (or cuts) can collect, the people hand carding the powder for final mixing and packaging might not be very thorough or invested.
At this point you start to see more and more of a dynamic we colloquially refer to as the "chocolate chip cookie effect". When you buy a box of Mr. Christie's, you expect a pretty uniform - even scientific - level of chocolate chips throughout, and outside of manufacturing defect you receive exactly that. When you're making them at home, however, even if you exercise a good bit of care and pride in your baking, it can be nearly impossible to end up with a uniform mixture of chocolate chips. Most will have the same amount, a few will get shortchanged, and a few well... they're either "the good ones" or "the bad ones", depending on your perspective. By the time you've made it to the street level, where cuts might be done using a bank card and a lighter immediately before sale, any hope of uniform mixing has gone completely out the window.
The same factors which create this "chocolate chip cookie effect" are likely responsible for the presence of fentanyl contamination among other drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine. Fentanyl being cut into other drugs to make them "more addictive" or "more potent" is a myth. People want what they want, and for the majority of the population who aren't particularly in love with opioids, accidentally smoking or snorting a chunk of fentanyl will make them feel nauseous, irritable, tired, and maybe even cause them to fall out altogether and wake up disoriented and scared - not what they were after, and not something they'll want again. Fentanyl, like all other drugs, takes weeks or months to develop a proper dependence for, and the chances of someone becoming "stealth addicted" to contamination are much lower than abandoning their dealer or just, well... dying. It just doesn't make sense.
So what's happening here?
Someone at these low levels of distribution is unlikely to have much of an understanding or education on safe drug handling, and I'd frankly not trust most of them to cook me a chicken sandwich without giving me salmonella. Equipment gets reused between batches and crucially, across substances. Remember those pockets of fentanyl that get stuck in the cutting equipment, around screws and in the little nooks and crannies? If you clean those out, you're going to lose good product and precious time, so maybe you don't wash them off and you don't waste your time meticulously dislodging them - it'll just reaccumulate as soon as you do another batch up anyway. This means that when you go to chuck a batch of cocaine in there with some caffeine and spin it up, it might dislodge a bit of that fentanyl/cut mixture. Not a ton, mind you - just a bit. That little bit isn't enough to make the entire batch poisonous, but it sometimes stays clumped enough to make the bags those particles land in an overdose waiting to happen. This doesn't just apply to the mixing equipment. The cheap scales people use have numerous places for powder to accumulate, spoons don't get washed, the trays they're using might be little more than a smooth cafeteria tray - easily scratched up - if they're not just using a table.
There's a lot more to cover, if I had the space and time - a major game changer the past few years was the move away from low levels of nitrazepam found in counterfeit OC80s only and towards extremely high levels of etizolam co-occuring in nearly all fentanyl being distributed. The increasingly frequent presence of isotonitazene, etonitazepyne, and other benzimidazole opioids has me personally very concerned, and I strongly believe poisonings are going unreported because they are occurring in the context of multi-drug, multi-opioid toxicity and detection capabilities are so far behind the trends. There's the whole can of worms which are Fentanyl Touch Overdoses, Which Do Not Exist that would require a post of similar length to thoroughly debunk.
You can use the r/ResearchChemicals search tab, or [Psychonaut Wiki](psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page) for dosages and ROA’s. However I would strongly reccomend against ordering any research chemicals without doing any prior research (which based on this post and your post history seems to be the case here).
All substances you mentioned are dosed below the 20 miligram range, and I hope that you have a proper miligram scale or at least a way to prepare a volumetrically dosed solution. Check our r/harmreduction for help on volumetrically dosing and a good scale for start is the Gemini-20 (Amazon link!!!). Yes, it is pricy, but it’s YOUR mental and physical health at stake, so is $40 too much? And no, do not cheap out on a lesser scale, you need a reliable one that can weigh miligrams.
Also, PLEASE DO NOT SMOKE any of these substances as I doubt you ordered a freebase version and fumerate salts (the most likely form that you will recieve these in) aren’t great for you when smoked.
Please be safe and careful, the psychedelics you ordered are not considered “conventional” and they are fairly new on the market with varying reports. Dose threshold amounts to begin with, never redose, and if the first time is not to your liking slowly go up in dosage until you hit your sweet spot. DO NOT take a full dose on your first time! Be patient and rememer all dosages quoted for research chemicals are fully anecdotal! Safe Travels!

Some scales come with a calibration weight - to verify everything is working OK.
This is the one I got. Comes with a 10G calibration weight.

I don't think it's a bad idea to use MDMA for depression. It worked p well for me, and there's a ton of evidence that it works therapeutically.
Just make sure your husband is fully on board with it, that he has done his research & understands what he's taking, what it's gonna feel like, and why he's doing it/what he hopes to get out of it.
Getting a scale is mandatory. Messing up the dose here will ruin everything. Testing the molly is also mandatory. This stuff is not expensive. Harm reduction supplements are also advisable but not mandatory.

I would advise doses of anywhere from 80-150mg for both of you. A dose in this range is unlikely to blow your mind in a bad way but also unlikely to disappoint, especially for a first-timer. I advise discussing what you're going to do in the session beforehand, what you think would be therapeutic, probably just you guiding him to talk through the history of the depression, what the root of it is, and what is the path to recovery. Be sure to remember to eat & drink, take it seriously & prepare yourselves emotionally.

How do you accidentally eyeball 3/4 of an entire bag?
You can pick up an AWS Gemini-20 (10yr warranty) for $50 or the knock-off Smart Weigh GEM-20 (2yr warranty) for $20.
I got my AWS for $30 six years ago and it still works perfectly.
This is the authentic one of the cheaper one, i've seen it on sale on amazon new for $25, but its $50 now. https://smile.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
This is a knockoff of the same scale from an unknown chinese company https://smile.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-GEM20-Precision-Milligram/dp/B00ESHDGOI
This is the Pro model of the AWS Gemini 20, IDK if the mechanism is the same but it's a lot less finicky and came with a nice pleather case and 2 trays, in addition to 2 calibration weights instead of just one (you need both to calibrate it), and it's supposed to be more accurate. I couldn't find an amazon listing but I paid $50 for mine, its $150 on their official site and I saw cheaper listings down to around $100 around. Chances are prices have gone up since I bought mine, since it was around 10 years ago. https://awscales.com/aws-geminipro-20-x-001g-diamond-scale/

I can't recall if I responded, I still have a notification for you. Sorry for not responding if I did not, I got busy with some assignments for college, and I just noticed this. I don't think it's bad to be scared of it, especially as it is active in low doses. I would recommend definitely buying a scale like this one.
I actually have a post that I made with 3-MeO-PCP not long ago about literally dosing around 60mg of 3-MeO-PCP with no tolerance intranasally because I tried to be smart and use a scale, but I used the wrong type of scale because I was already intoxicated and was more or less hyped up to give 3-MeO-PCP a try after I enjoyed 3-MeO-PCE so much. Give it a read if you want, maybe it'll make you less scared because you can see that I am okay afterward.
The experience was literally the most intense disassociation I have ever felt, even compared to waking up from a two-month coma and hearing about how fucked the world got due to COVID-19 while I was in LaLaLand in my dreams. There was a lot of visuals, which I did not expect because I had not really read into the effects other than some chats on discord, but it was more or less a hole akin to what I imagine Ketamine would be like, but of course different in its own ways. It was like that Cyberpunk game as well, or at least I had thought so because I was imagining that I could upgrade my body or some shit. I also never have had something kick in as fast as it did, aside from fentanyl. Within seconds of snorting the pile and feeling as if Mike Tyson gave me an uppercut, I immediately began hearing ringing, got light-headed, fell out of my chair, and struggled to get to the bed after I had hung up the call I was having on Discord.

The entire experience made me respect RC's on a whole new level since I had been ignorant and didn't read up more on 3-MeO-PCP's potency. I will wrap this up; I don't want to talk your ear off; I enjoy talking about my experiences and trying to help others out. Anyways, your possible fear for it makes sense and is understandable; take some time and learn some more about harm reduction to give yourself peace of mind; it probably would be best for you to try learning about volumetric dosing.
Enjoy your experiences, brother!
Maybe I should get something more like this. https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM.
I use these mg scales.
>Did I do something wrong?
Yes. Buy a milligram scale. They cost $40.
If you have money for chems, you have money to buy a scale and be safe.
Most people use a milligram scale to weigh out a drug like 2C-B.
Pills are made up of the drug plus a binder. A pill containing 15 mg of 2C-B is going to be mostly binder. As for whether a pill advertised as containing 15 mg of 2C-B "really" contains that much 2C-B (or contains 2C-B at all) is impossible for us to know. If you want to know for sure, you'd have to send a pill off for testing to a lab like Energy Control
Low cost milligram scales have a fair bit of variability when you get below 100 mg or so. If you're trying to dose a drug where +/- 5 mg can make a huge difference in effect, you'll want to use volumetric dosing.
Buy a scale, dude. You can't do this by eye. Invest a few bucks in this https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM

​
A few rules of thumb:
1 Test your stuff (even if it you trust your friend). Many "ecstasy" is cut with adulterants which is what causes most of the problems and its bad name in media. If you can, try to get crystal as a pill is harder to measure and has more chance of being cut with something. You can get test kits at https://testkitplus.com/product/mdma-test-kit or https://azarius.net/smartshop/drug-testing-kits/purity/ez-test-for-mdma-purity/
Get a milligram scale if you can. You can find these on amazon (the Gemini series is excellent) https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Start with a dose (in mg) of 1.5 times your body weight in kg. This is a safe dose with maximum effects and is highly unlikely to cause any problems. For most people the right dosage is in between 90-150mg. After a certain point you have reached maximum euphoria and taking more MDMA will increase the risk of adverse effects, or brain damaging. With doses of 1.5mg/kg you really don't have to worry about damaging your brain.
If you wish to do it again, try to stick to a 3 month interval. This is to allow your brain to replenish its happiness reserves. It's wise to stick to this.
Supplements are advisable, though not 100% necessary. Some ginger extract and magnesium are nice to make the roll more comfortable (for nausea and jaw clenching respectively). Antioxidants reduce neurotoxicity. Full list of supplements at https://rollsafe.org/mdma-supplements/.
Even if you get very thirsty, don't drink too much water. 2 glasses of water every hour is a good rule of thumb.
Things to enjoy the roll:
good company (ideally people who you care a lot about and don't mind spilling your life story to)
music (make a playlist beforehand, any music will sound absolutely amazing, so make sure you have a playlist of at least 5 hours. you don't wanna be operating electronics on MD, that's a waste of a roll, trust me I speak from experience haha)
menthol (vicks inhaler)
blankets
nitrous oxide (though perhaps not for your first time if you are rather unexperienced)

Gemini scale. Best one you can get for that cheap, as far as i know.
Ok, I spoke too soon, just got word back from AWS. They have (2) Gemini-20s on the market ATM. The standard Gemini-20 is 20gx0.001g readability with an error margin of +/-0.005g. The upgraded model, GeminiPro-20 has the same 20gx0.001g readability but with an error margin of +/-0.003g like the other scales I mentioned above. The scale I and a lot of reviewers said SUCKS is the standard Gemini-20. I have not purchased & tested the gempro yet, but if you are absolutely mind set on going with AWS as your build, it's a no-brainer as to which of the two you should purchase. Still, I recommend dropping the $200+ on something actually worth money or as other dude said, just a get sub $50 scale with 0.01g readability as the build quality will be higher and the accuracy will be about the same even though the incremental readability is 10mg. Most of those cheap 1mg scales won't actually register increments properly under 5mg anyway if adding directly to a weigh tray. What you have to do is weigh your container, zero it out, take the container off & put it back on a few times to make sure it is staying zero'd & not walking, then with the container OFF the scale, add some powder, weigh it, REMOVE the container, add a little more powder, weigh it, etc. Don't try to add powder to your container while it is sitting on the weighing tray, it will not register properly & a lot of these scales auto-zero features will cause it to immediately go out of calibration. Always add MGs in small increments to the container you tared to zero while the container is OFF the weigh tray! Doing it properly you can fairly accurately add or remove 5-10mg of material & the scale will properly register the change. Good luck, but seriously if you are spending hundreds on chems & value safety & harm reduction then splurge for a decent anaylitical balance. If you have the budget, you absolutely can't go wrong with an Ohaus! They compete with Fisher Science, Mettler Toledo, & Sartorius (all $1500-$7000 pro lab balances) BUT also make consumer models that can be had easily on OldWillKnott or even Amazon for under $500. The Ohaus SPX123 is only $420 on Amazon ATM ($48 cheaper than oldwillknott's july sale price) & is NTEP Certified so you can write it off on your taxes as a necessary business expense lol. That is the cheapest I've ever seen them & I've been eyeing the Ohaus line of 1mg scales for quite a few years now. I shouldn't have spent the $250 on my My Weigh & just waited until I had enough for the Ohaus but live and learn! What I bought was effectively a Buick when if I would've been patient and waited I could've had a Cadillac for just a little more. 😐
Here's a setup guide from 3 years ago, but it's mostly still good. https://www.reddit.com/r/HansaDarknetMarket/comments/5ww4j9/a_beginners_guide_to_the_darknet_markets/
Here are my tweaks:
Follow what it says about how to install the Tor Browser and turn off javascript in the browser.
As for markets, Hansa and Alphabay are gone -dead. I recommend Empire market, but you can do research into all of them. To access the markets, you want to be very careful you don't get phished; use the url "dark.fail" It's updated constantly and you can use it to help verify real/working links. It should automatically send you to a .onion version of the site, and that's the one you ought to bookmark.
For the next thing, you may need to familiarize yourself with cryptocurrency. The basics of how wallets and transfers work, etc. There are more options than the ones I present
To buy cryptocurrency, it's easiest to use coinbase.com. Their fees aren't terrible for the convenience and ease of use. To buy something on a market you will need to transfer those coins to the wallet on the market. (But, coinbase might ban you if they notice those coins going to market wallets. So first transfer them to an intermediate wallet, and then to your market account.)
Know what currencies your market takes. Bitcoin (BTC) is universally accepted and maybe the best place to start. But if it accepts Monero or Ethereum (ETH), those are probably superior with better fees and transfer speeds.
The rest of the guide is spot on. But I don't think it mentions 2-FA. This may be nonsense to you right now, but don't worry. At some point, after setting up your account, you should definitely enable 2-FA. The 'encryption' part of the guide will cover this a little, but when you have your own PGP keys, you can add the public one to your account. When you login, it will have you give you an encrypted message, you then decrypt that message with your private key so you can provide the code that gets you into your account. This keeps just anyone with your username and password from getting in.
My last piece of advice whether you buy drugs off the street or on the DNMs; get some reagent testing kits and a scale. Scale is more important imo. Drugs are usually what vendors say they are, and you can see if they're trustworthy based on feedback -but testing kits can only help.

If you can afford a luxury like agmatine, you can afford a scale. A Gemini-20 is cheap enough.
You need a .001 g scale. This is a great one for the price on Amazon:

I guess it depends on how good you are at guesstimating. Scales are cheap. Its good to know how much you take and the effects you feel from that amount. I linked the scale I use. It way more then you would need for kratom but you never know when you might need to weight stuff in the milligram range.
​
If it's a highly accurate, MilliGrams (0.001=1mg) digital scale, then you should have no problem weighing out any increment. You shouldn't have to "put heaps on" for it to register. They also make handy micro spoon/spatulas, that work great in handling the crystal/powder to put in caps. This is a great scale for the $:

Get this for an mg scale.
Yeah, that's the one I want. Comes with a calibrating weight as well.
A scale like this will save you a lot of money in the long run. All supplements are cheaper if you buy powder and weigh them yourself.
Here's the scale I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Is it good enough?
You might be able to pick up a scale and split the capsules into smaller portions.
i got that guy, but i dont think it comes close to say, 0.25mg no?
Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Digital Reloading Scale $29.88 don't do it man, that scale is just SOOO horrible. Get one of Gemini 20's and the WOAW one instead, or both so you can cross check. I have owned all 3, the frankford scale was never once accurate from they day I got it and would have easily blown up my rifle had I used any loads weighed by it. Frankford Arsenal would not replace the scale.
Of the other two, I have had the Gemini20 for about a year and have never had an issue with it, and the WOAW I only recently got under recommendation from other re loaders and it's been solid.

Microdosing is a game of fractions, and you can't get that without an accurate method of dosing.
something like this wouldnt be able to meausure my dosage?
and thanks, if that isnt sufficint to weigh out doses, I'm ordering from ricklabs
At my clinic they said they have the ability to measure 0.5 mg for a patient and have in the past. They did that when patients were at the very end of their taper and they didn't want to jump for 1mg to 0. When I asked about 0.1mg they said they hadn't done that before.
I'm guessing/ my gut feeling is that at most places accuracy is going to be well under a mg.. which is very easy to measure accurately in the scheme of things (1mg dose is about 0.1 grams of 10mg/mL concentrate which is pretty typical accuracy in the cheapest pocket scales so having actual calibrated equipment should make that quite easily, liquid measurement or weight).
This machine (which looks a lot like the one they use at my clinic): http://www.parker.com/Literature/Domnick%20Hunter%20Process%20Filtration%20Division/PAFD_literature/Life%20Sciences%20Literature/Life%20Sciences%20Product%20Datasheets/DS_P_67_SciLog%20LabTec%20Methadone%20Dispensing%20System%20Datasheet.pdf seems to measure accurately +/- ~0.01 ml or ~.1mg if 10mg/mL concentrate is used.
I'm guessing in the scheme of things you are getting 9mg +/- 0.1mg (so 8.99mg is worst case scenario), if things were off by a whole mg (or multiple mgs) on a consistent basis it would be pretty easy for nursing staff to be slipping hundreds (or perhaps thousands of mg) under the table.. which is something (the only thing?) the authorities/DEA is looking for when they come into check american clinics.
If you are super concerned about it, mg scales are relatively cheap and if they give you unwatered down doses, it shouldn't be a big deal to double check your dose when you are at the window... this ~$25 one on Amazon had served me well when using it for other purposes, many moons ago: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/?th=1&psc=1
Malcolm, I'm happy that you're happy :)
When you use too much yeast, the dough overproofs and deflates (and smells like alcohol). The local flour didn't deflate, because it didn't have enough protein/gluten to trap the gas.
Smaller quantities of ingredients, unless you have a jeweler's scale, should always be measured in volume (tablespoons/teaspoons).
Oven thermometers are pretty much useless. I know you've invested quite a lot into this endeavor, but, if you're ever going to track your stone temperature properly, you're going to need an infrared thermometer. Amazon has some for pretty cheap, although I'm guessing shipping is going to drive the price up. All IR thermometers come from China, so you might look into getting one from China directly from an outfit like dealextreme or aliexpress. For your immediate needs, you'll need one that goes to 650 F, but, if you think you might ever have a wood fired oven, you should look into something that goes up to around 1300 F.
Your oven has no top heat source? That sort of sucks. Does it have a broiler drawer on the bottom? Does it have a convection feature? Some higher end ovens can be calibrated. Calibration can typically buy you as much as 35 F. higher. The instructions are in the manual. Have you looked into calibration?
Just so we're on the same page, you're using Caputo 00 pizzeria flour,, right? 65% water is a little high for Caputo. For your next bake, go with this:
100% flour
62% water
3% oil
1% diastatic malt
2% salt
.3% instant yeast
1% sugar
Your yeast should be 3.2g per teaspoon. Your malt is 14g per tablespoon (3 teaspoons). You'll need to check the packaging of your salt to check it's density. If it's a fairly standard fine grain salt, it should be around 13g per tablespoon, but definitely check for greater precision. How are your excel skills? A spreadsheet can be enormously helpful for these kinds of conversions and for scaling a recipe up/down.
And don't forget... photos :) Right now, I'm just helping you reach a somewhat generic really good pizza realm. To hit Glascow more precisely, I'm going to need to see photos of the underside of the dough (right before stretching) and of the finished pie.
this milligram scale is only 20 EUR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XV.lzb60MWH6A
Have you tried this scale?
I'd get the gemini instead, it's an absolutely fantastic scale.
If you are in the US, you can have this in 2 days: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM
I don't know how to help you when I don't know what is in the kit in the first place. You will needs dies for sure though, for an inexpensive scale you can use AWS gemini 20. I have that and like it, and here is a video review comparing it to expensive ones as well
Scale: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
I bought dumb... I needed a millegram scale that would measure down to the thousandth of a mg for meds, so the first one I got was the AWS gemini-20 and that's been the scale I use 99.9% of the time. Problem is, it only has a 20g capacity, so trades/donations were ridiculously complicated. However, it's an extremely accurate scale, comes with calibration weights and the case has a magnetic flap and protects the scale very well. It's a complete system.
Then, I got the AWS ACP-200 and that better for trades and donations, and I thought it would adequate. But no... Most of what I buy is 250g minimum (I told you I bought stupid). This one, however, requires that you buy a separate calibration weight. And they're not cheap.
Which brings me to the AWS-600-BLK with a capacity of 600g. Of course, I also buy kilos, but I haven't addressed that one yet :-) This one requires a calibration weight also, which really offsets the relatively inexpensive buy-in for the scale.
If I was smart, I would have purchased the 20g and a 1000g version and been done with it. One suggestion I would make is to NOT buy the calibration weights that they list as accessories for the scales and go with this guy instead. It's a 1000g calibration weight set that will give you just about any weight imaginable for only $18.
You might want an mg scale instead of a g scale for powders for accurate dosing. I've used your scale before, it's not accurate at all under a gram.

honestly, those all sound pretty shitty. I think you'd be better off with a fent analog--furylfentanyl is actually less potent than fentanyl, so not quite as dangerous. You'd still want to buy a good microgram scale (this one gets good recommendations https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM) and dose volumetrically (https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Quick_Guide_to_Volumetric_Dosing).

Buy a scale. This is a good beginner option.
Theanine doesn't build tolerance, so you can take it daily without a reduction in efficacy. If you take too much at once, you'll probably get a headache. It does have a rather short half life (2.5 - 4.5 hours) so I usually take it two or three times per day depending on my mood.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM best thing you'll ever invest in.
Test kit (http://testkitplus.com/product/mdma-test-kit)
These are a must. Dose accordingly https://erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_dose.shtml
Btw mdma tastes like death either cap the powder or mix it with juice and chug it.
Lol I bought this one off amazon for about $20. Not gonna lie I can't wait to use it
Great Dose Scale I use it for supplements too. Very accurate.
If you're really interested, check the beginner's guide to nootropics. Using L-theanine with your caffeine is extremely worth doing, and costs very little. If you want to get into this stuff, you also need a scale that weighs milligrams accurately, like this AWS scale for $35. Compared to the price you're paying for toxic sugar water, spending under $100 for a year's worth of vastly superior caffeine is an incredible deal, and I'll say it's changed my life, I'll never go back to coffee or energy drinks.
What kind of scale do you have? I strongly recommend using a digital scale like this one: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/
Which one are you using? I've had this one for years and it does not produce accurate results below 15mg. It was hell measuring out 2c-e with.
Yeah, Mesomorph I have on hand and it's definitely the best pre-mixed PWO out there. I use the GEMINI-20 scale. How many mg do you think you're using?
You can get a jewlers scale that goes the the thousandths place (.001/ 1mg) for $21.50 on Amazon. Why put up with something shitty when fixing your issue is so cheap.
Just an FYI it's accurate down to ~5mg.
Don't forget a scale. This is often overlooked. Its important to measure your dose. Don't eyeball it.
Place the 10g weight and concentrate pad on the scale, don't zero out, then measure out your dose. The reason for adding the weight and not zeroing out is because the scale won't register anything under 0.015g. It also comes with tweezers which helps with handling the concentrate pad.

Edited to correct weights.
This is what the majority uses. It's not accurate to the 1-5mg range, but it will get you to 15-20 mg. Your best bet is to measure a large amount and volumetrically dose.

Addressing your first question, before buying any of these nootropics, I researched thoroughly and have not experienced any tolerance issues myself because I took necessary precautions in order to prevent that from happening. The only substances I have heard of causing the build of tolerance are pramiracetam and phenylpiracetam, the latter more so than any other substance. But this information, I have found, is anecdotal and these noots affect people differently than others. I have heard of cases of tolerance of phenyl can build in 3-4 straight days and pram in 1-2 weeks. I only take phenyl when I know I will have a challenging day ahead i.e on exam days. I cycle pram with other racetams, taking it 2 times per week, give or take. As for cycling, I would not take more than 2-3 racetams in a day, as it is not necessary. I usually take aniracetam daily, and cycle pram, oxi, and piracetam. Once again, you will have to experiment with these and find the cycling schedule that is most effective for you, or not cycle at all.
As for the capsule issue, it is definitely not necessary to use capsules. I used to use just powder and that has worked fine; I usually just dissolved my stack in water (I now just make my own capsules, for convenience). Powder is also much cheaper per dose. I have also heard of dissolving the powder sublingually, but I have not tried it. But if you buy the powder, you will most definitely have to buy a 0.001g scale, and it must be accurate, as many doses of noots will be in the 10 mg range. I recommend the Gemini-20 scale. Semax comes in the form of a nasal spray, don't know if you are comfortable with that, just a forewarning, if you decide to research. As I said before, I make my own capsules, and fit my whole stack into one pill, which I find convenient. There is a kit which I use on powdercity.com, if you are interested, which explains everything about capsule making.
Definitely a good choice to research everything before buying and definitely don't trust just one report, even data. You're welcome and once again, good luck.
This works well for both drugs and minerals
If you are spending $200 on a dispenser, you better not need a trickler. My $40 "dispensing" setup (scale, funnel, trickler) I'm sure is just as accurate as something costing 5 times as much, so I'm going to stick with it. I understand your desire to buy once cry once, but sometimes you can buy once and not cry at all. Sometimes there are equally effective ways to solve the same problem that don't involve spending big dollars on a specialized tool.
For the tumbler, I don't have a Harbor Freight - I have a made in USA Lortone 6 lb. that has tumbled many thousands of cases with no issues. It is essentially the same as the Harbor Freight model, but it was $80 on Craigslist. I just saw one in the pawn shop the other day for $40.
You mention you are on a college student budget, but you are pricing out things that a lot of guys with a lot more income wouldn't spend their money on. It's important to keep in mind that cheap and low cost are not the same thing.
Are you shooting a bolt action or semi auto? Do you already have a neck sizer?
Buy a test kit and test EVERYTHING you buy off the street. Mandelin or Marquis are the best for a variety of drugs.
If you're dealing with powders active in the mg range, buy a milligram scale and scale your doses. Eyeballing is stupid. The Gemini 20 is one of the most common, well reviewed accurate milligram scales. For $20-30.
Never use any MDxx more than once every month, preferably once every 3 months.
Take a minuscule amount of every new substance you try as an allergy test.
Start out with low doses and work your way up. You never know if you will be super sensitive to a certain drug.
Edit: One more thing: When thinking of combining two or more new drugs for the first time, use this chart to determine if it is safe
Just get a scale or volumetrically dose your whole batch at once, I always volumetrically dose when we're looking at a chem like etizolam which is active at 1mg, otherwise some powders tend to clump up so you may encounter a pretty dense chunk of chem so be careful.
Pretty much the gold standard:
I personally use a microgram scale though that I bought off an Organic Chem prof at my local university.
You might be tempted to get this one. I did. It won't register small amounts and I suspect it under measures. I used it to weigh out some 2-FMA yesterday for the first time. First time with the scale and trying the chemical. What I thought was an absolutely minimal dose ended up being pretty overwhelming.
this one weighs to 0.001g and is around $20 as I said in my earlier post. It comes with calibration weights. I don't know what your idea of cheap is but if you can afford several grams of an RC you can afford a scale.
It sounds like you are rationalizing your decision to not use a proper measuring method. Do you have a pyrex liquid measuring cup? A water bottle with graduated markings on it?
I guess it doesn't really matter though. Be safe and don't OD :)
Things you may want to consider: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM
$25 bucks for the scale I use. It is a mg scale and really accurate given the price. http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441494822&sr=8-1&keywords=mg+scale
vs
so would the PRO version be better accuracy for weighing under 20mg? Because there is quite a price difference, so there must be something better about it I'm thinking
Try encapsulating the Creatine...
http://capsuleconnection.com/the-capsule-machine.html/
You will need a suitable scale ....for micrograms....
Oh yeah I have no intention of using that for RCs. That's for creatine and other, heavier stuff. I was looking at this one based on this review, which shows it being very accurate compared to a multi-thousand dollar laboratory-grade Mettler scale.
I would say it is close or at five grams due to the size of the crystals. When these crystals are crushed there will be more volume because the chemical will be in smaller particles and not bound together in a more condensed space.
I'd advice to by a scale for safety purposes. I'd also advise on getting a multi-panel reagent kit to ensure the product you received is in-fact what was advertised. There are dozens of possible other products that look similar and have similar effects and results on a single reagent. Some can be deadly like PMMA and PMA; This has caused deaths in the past.
Be safe. Buy a scale; Not just to ensure you got a good deal....
Safety should always come first.
This scale works just fine: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
It's an investment in your health to use a medical tool like MDMA.
Pure MDMA should have little comedown, little hangover, dominantly euphoric, and primarily empathogenic in nature.
Are you guys using scales to get it down to as small amount as you can? I know fentanyl is in the micro-dose range but be careful with that stuff.
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM Good cheap scale if you don't have one already.
Yeah, usable "lab" scale good enough for milligrams costs like $50 or under, so it shouldn't be too expensive for anyone. Scoops are good when you need to dose something over 100mg, but once you go under that they become much less useful and dosing something active on milligram range without scale can be dangerous.
Also when you get new noots from new supplier you should always go for sub milligram test dose (you can never know if it's Bromo Dragonfly or something equally horrible that just kills you when you take over 1mg) and that is pretty impossible without scale. Sending them for testing is ofcourse better, but understandably that's not always option and very expensive.
Here is very good and cheap mg scale: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM/
Volumetric dosing or a .001 scale
1) Absolutely, get this one: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434511487&sr=8-1&keywords=milligram+scale
2) GVG - form a small wad of chore boy copper scrubber (walgreens) into a flat disc small enough to not touch the sides of the glass and not too compact to prevent airflow. Melt the DMT on to the scrubber by heating it first and dropping the DMT on top. Load it and vape like you would herb using a torch lighter, I recommend the Jobon ZB-529 because it has a large but soft clean burning flame and a large tank.
3) I have and always will use my method. 30 mg is my dose, the sandwich method may need more due to pyrolysis.

Man that will make things easier.
Any suggestions on water? I have read where people have had luck chasing with water. Is it better to just mix it with water?
I know that Oxy (which I used to do) will not be wasted if it goes down your throat, but H is much less potent that way.
So what do you do to prevent this? Does chasing with water/mixing with water help prevent this?
Thanks again.

I bought this scale from another site for about the same price. Hasn't failed me. I don't really trust it for <10mg weights, but I just weigh a capsule, then add desired amount, and if it checks out with the cap, I assume a +-2 variance. Good enough for me. More than good with 25mg+ amounts.
you need to realize that i dont like ANY of the digital scales.....i think they seriously suck. i cannot see how they can accurately measure 10mg or 40mg of this light fluffy powder these nootropic guys sell.
i think the one many have used is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/
but i am not recommending it
:)
You could always spring for a new shiny milligram scale. AWS makes a good one for about $20.
Plus you'll probably be the only one of your friends with a milligram scale. :P
anyone using drugs that can kill them should be using one of these to measure out their doses. It's $20 and is accurate down to the milligram.
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
i just bought this one, works great so far i guess, and comes with a 10 year warranty. also, i got free 2 day shipping 'cause of this new Amazon Student thing! great deal.
Buy a scale. PLEASE BUY A SCALE.
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
this scale is close to perfect. As close as you can get to accuracy for this price. It'll be off at most by .01 which lets you accurately dose a point within 100-110 mg's. (A point being exactly 100mg's. So at most with this scale you'd be getting approximately 110mg's.) YMMV
I wouldn't use OJ as its acidic and will increase your stomach acidity and decrease absorbtion. Take one or two TUM's or Rolaids or whatever you happen to have available 30 minutes prior to use. This will decrease stomach acidity and increase absorption.
WHITE (this is important) Grapefruit juice the day before will also increase absorbtion as it inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme and (without going into too much science) will increase bioavailability which means you get a little more bang for your buck. This should be done the day before so your stomach is not too acidic. Again, TUMS are great for preventing acidity. Whole black peppercorn will also help with bioavailability.
If you're too lazy to buy a scale, licking the tip of your finger and dipping in MDMA is USUALLY close to a point.
I SAY USUALLY BECAUSE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO KNOW WITHOUT GETTING A SCALE DUE TO THE FACT MDMA COMES IN SO MANY DIFFERENT CONSISTENCIES.
You could be taking anywhere from 2 points to a half point with this method. No way of knowing without using a scale at least once on this particular batch.
Gel caps are cheap also, and they are a much more efficient way of ingesting MDMA. A small pack will last you a lifetime.
Anywho if you have any more questions feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer.
I'm a firm believer in supplements, and as such, swear by /u/misteryouaresodumb 's MDMA supplementation guide.
It is the most accurate guide to date that I have been able to find.

Good luck!
I got a milligram scale from aliexpress, same make as this listing. Cost about $20 shipped, but took a whole month to arrive (normal from China). It seems pretty on-par to me, I feel comfortable measuring out amounts <50mg.
I'm 90% sure this one on amazon is the same model after they slap a logo on.
Dude, what? Just get a gemini 20 scale and the capsule machine and 1000 size 0 caps.All of that would be around $50 and you can make 1000 caps. Get a better scale, don't cut your stuff. A lot of my friends open my 40mg caps, split it into 2 lines and snort one line into each nostril. That would be such worse to have to snort 80mg of powder.
I know it cuts your margin of error but it's really not worth the effort if you're going to weigh out each cap anyway.
I just put a piece of weighing paper on my Gemini and weigh out 40mg and put it on the cap that's already in my capsule machine. It took me about an hour and a half to do 120 40mg speed caps and 20 100mg MDMA caps.
EDIT: Links for the lazy:
Like I wasn't trying to be mean or anything, just wondering why you would weigh out all of that and subtract the amount needed. I would think it would be much more precise using weighing paper or something and weighing out each dose individually.
I may be an asshat, but I am a correct asshat.
I guess you two are the only two dipshits around here who don't know about affordable MG scales and talk out of your ass. Here you go, wham, bam, and corrected. You can apologize and tell me how you were wrong whenever you want.

This scale will work perfectly fine to dose out ~20mg doses. At worst you'll dose 17-23mg for 20, but in reality I've found it to be more reliable than that.

I love mine :)
Yeah, heck even one of these would seem sufficient for what I am assuming they need.
Yeah, that is true. It's possible OP could be more sensitive than usual to shrooms, but that isn't really much reason for the terrible experiences.
Measuring mushrooms will never be that accurate in the first place, though, as you can never tell how much psilocybin (the ingredient in shrooms that makes you trip) is in a particular mushroom.
Since I know you're fairly new to /r/drugs, and I'm on adderall, here's some cool information about another similar substance.
If you don't already know about 4-aco-dmt, it is a highly regarded research chemical that is both very safe and has been around for more that 50 years. It is very, very similar to mushrooms, as it is generally accepted that it degrades into psilocin in your body. Psilocybin also degrades into psilocin.
It is much more consistent with the dosing, as it is a pure chemical, and therefore much more predictable than shrooms, never a bad thing.
One more thing, it's legal in most countries, so you can literally order it to your doorstep, legally, on the internet.
You will need a milligram scale if you plan to try it though. Here's a great one: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Have a nice day :)
First of all you don't even know for certain if it's MDMA, you really should consider buying a test kit to make sure. For that matter without a scale you have no way of knowing if it's actually 1g of product.
Eyeballing drugs that have small effective doses by crushing them up into lines like you describe is just a bad idea in general. You can buy a milligram scale for less than $25 on amazon and get 2 day shipping if you really don't want to wait, this is the one I have and seems to work fine: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
The only really "safe" way to eyeball drugs (once you have a known quantity, so you should still get the scale) is to dissolve it in some kind of liquid and do volumetric dosing. For example, if you know for certain that you have 1 gram of molly and completely dissolve it in, say, 100mL of liquid, then each 10mL of that liquid will contain 100mg (of course that also depends on having a measuring cup or test tube or whatever that measures fluid volumes precisely enough). That said, I have no idea what MDMA would actually dissolve in.
I know that MDMA is active orally considering that it often comes in pills, I have no idea if it can be insufflated or not.
I agree. Why take a chance? Spend 22.95 & get a well calibrated milligram scale with calibration weights like this one:
A link from my original link will take you here. Get a scale. Eyeballing doses makes it easy to convoke yourself to take more leading to black outs.
This guy is selling the big three off ebay which can be private
He has a reddit post here about it. If this doesnt work for you and you REALLY want to be stealthy, Just make your own Marquis reagent.
But other than that, I havent found any test kits in brick and mortar stores anywhere I live. I wish you the best of luck! :)
P.s. the mass of pills varies so much that it would be impossible for us to give you an accurate figure. your best bet is to get a scale. This one is cheap and really highly rated
This kind of scale is what you need.
Buy a damn scale..There is no way to know how much that is.
They are cheap to, 20 bux on Amazon right now:
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM
This scale is what I started with and it's pretty damn good for 20 bucks ... I highly recommend it. If you're only capping up a few grams a year then go with something like this, but you'll need to be careful using it ... I've have some fishy readings.
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Now, if you want to spend a bit more this seems to be the most popular choice. It's a great scale but it can be finicky ... make sure you get a good one.
http://www.amazon.com/My-Weigh-GemPro-250-Compact/dp/B004C3I3AA
Also vouching for American Weigh. The Gemini milligram scale is decent. Make sure to keep it clean.
I use this one.
DMT doesn't stick to the dish it comes with, works great.
There was a thread on DMT-Nexus in which many members recommended this one: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1365982782&sr=1-1&keywords=American+Weigh+Gemini-20+Portable+Milligram+Scale%2C+20+by+0.001+G

Well comparatively speaking, 25mg of 4-AcO-DMT felt a lot stronger than an eighth of shrooms the one time when I took that much. It was more like 4.5g than 3.5g. You'll trip pretty hard if you take that amount. Could be rough. You might want to try a dose of about 15mg before going that high, and then maybe 17mg or 18mg the next time after that if it's not quite enough for you. Personally, 18mg is the highest dose I feel comfortable with, but everybody's different. Like a lot of RC's, it has a steep dose/response curve. I would strongly suggest getting a scale before you mess with this stuff. This one is fairly cheap and works well enough so long as you make sure to weigh your doses at least a couple times. You can measure it out and put them into gel caps for long term storage. No muss, no fuss.
Please make sure to weigh your lines and know what you are getting. Just because somebody says it is MDMA, doesn't mean it is. I don't care if you order it from overseas, test it. The same goes for LSD, make sure that you are getting LSD (if that is your intended buy) and not a research chem. Testing kits are expensive but consider how expensive your life is as well before using. Here is a good scale for lines. Here is a good testing kit for LSD Stay safe guys. I enjoy reading stories here and sometimes providing my own but please, stay safe.
I just ordered this scale today. I have heard pretty good things about it and needed a slightly more accurate one then i had.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Nope; wrong scale. Almost certain it's from this one.
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334854374&sr=8-1 A little cheap. But ive found it to be reliable. amazon always ships fast.
I bought this one because it was the cheapest i could find
It wont give you a reading until your weight goes over 10 milligrams (because it centers to zero by program so the numbers don't constantly shift) and every time i weigh something and shit it around the little weighing pad it differs by 2-3 milligrams. i use it often and it works for me very well since i never had to weigh anything under 12 milligrams but i wish i got something that i could use more comfortably for weighing nugs. it weights up to 20 grams but even with a small piece of cardboard on top of the weighing pad its bothersome to weigh more than 4 grams in nugs. but its surprisingly accurate once you figure out how to work through its kinks.
I'll probably just end up ordering this one.
Thanks, everything I needed to know! Do you suggest this scale? or would it be too cheap to bet my health on?
Edit: also what forum on bluelight would you find most RC information in?
This. Scale rules, been using it for awhile and it's cheap.
Works for most things. At 5-10mg it might be off by 1 or 2 mg, but it should get the job done. Don't forget to calibrate!
Sure. All you need once you have the bulk powder are capsules and a way to measure. You can get a digital scale for cheap, and the 00 size capsules I buy are usually around $10 or so for a giant bag.
Tbh I've stopped weighing the powders because the 00 size capsules don't really hold much more than a gram of even the densest powders. Most of the stuff I put into capsules is dosed in grams so it's pretty easy to eyeball what I'm doing. But definitely get a scale if you decide to start doing this so you have a solid idea of how much powder equates to how many mg or grams.
why does it have to be accurate to centigrams? If its for weed you can get one that is accurate to .1 and you'll be fine. If you are looking for a scale for shit like yayo, molly or rc's you should probably get one that is accurate to milligrams. http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM is what i use and it is great.
EDIT: it is great for everything except weed, these smaller more accurate scales have small weighing surfaces making them ideal for small amounts of powder but terrible for weighing even a gram of weed.
Great scale, very very accurate: http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM
This is pretty good advice, although I (as well as a few others I know) tend to have nasty reactions to (suspected) MDA, so the test kits aren't 100% for people like me.
And you'll need a milligram scale for dosing, this one will do for MDXX chems: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ref=oss_product
You're either being disingenuous or underestimating the scales people have purchased, plenty around here have gotten a nicer scale than the average kitchen scale that have no issue with that sort of sensitivity. Maybe not the average user around here, but yeah..
For example, https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM I've seen this as a common recommendation around here.
With a tool that size ur probably fucking with some really potent shit, always weigh your shit and dont use anything that doesnt go down to miligrams or .001 grams some of that shit will fuck you up just looking at it. like this
Buy a Gemini-20 for $20. It's what most people here use and it works great.
You can find these types of scales at any headshop.
http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
Here is a $25 milligram scale. I have it an it is supposedly accurate +/- 5mg.
If you HAVE to pick up something locally, look for something with calibration weights. Something like this:
The Gemini 20 is a great milligram scale and not expensive. You can get it for ~$23 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/
Take some MDMA with her, tested with a test kit to ensure proper drug, about 120mg (use a scale!), and she should open up about what she is having a problem with.
The long and short of it is depending how tightly packed the powder is in the scoop will determine how much that amount of powder will weigh. It could be anywhere in a wide range. Considering you are dosing phenylpiracetam which has a 100 mg recommended dose, you are going to have a really hard time determining how much you actually have in the scoop.
If you are impatient you can always build a homemade scale if you want to proceed with a relative amount of safety.
If you want to wait 3-4 days this scale is ok, it is $22.
Also that racetam isn't one you really wanna fuck around with.
Unless you are weighing out and selling large quantities of very dose-sensitive drugs (e.g. NBOMes), you don't need a $600 scale. For things like the 2c-series, MDMA, etc., something like this would be fine.
this works well enough. though weighing under 10 mg is sometimes challenging.
They can be pretty cheap http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TDNAM/ - $20 on amazon
Comes with lid, case, and tweezers. With prime it comes in two days and free shipping. Only $23 this week.
This is what I use, bought for ~$25. Consistently accurate to 1mg, comes with a nice measuring dish, and some tweezers! I also recommend some measuring spoons to go with it.
You actually don't want nearly as much forskolin as is in one of those. I emptied all the pills into the bottle and measure out about 80mg at a time, which is around 3.5mg forskolin. I make gelcaps out of it, but you can also put it in a small piece of toilet paper, put it in your mouth, and chug some water. It's called 'parachuting'. The artichoke, tyrosine, and theanine are all pretty small.
