Obvious cut is apparent when you either have a bag of white powder, or more likely crystals that aren't so crystal-like but are chunkier, are far less transparent than the real deal, have a white milky color to them and are hard and solid but slightly softer than the real deal. Okay, without solvents or sublimation I swear I can spot cut product simply by looking at it closely. I'm sure that 'cut the shit half the time' is a good business tactic for decreasing cost and insuring continued cash flow from customers, but seeing as though I am the customer – I’m frustrated. This leads me to my question.Ībout 50% of the time I am an unhappy customer. While I am tempted to just go ahead and attempt my first synth anyway, with cold/allergy 60's using STE - I will probably find myself going down the street and buying my razzle dazzle once again. Just as I was so proud to have graduated to a point of knowledge capable of a successful RP/I/E synth - E becomes almost impossible to come by. My place on the Hive ladder could not be better defined as it is now, posting a question regarding my potentially dishonest 'friend' neighbor/dealer and his sometimes Mickey Mouse product while others are pioneering their way to a successful Pulsatile Release extraction.
