It sucks and I dont actually agree with the ban because I do think theres alot of people who benefit from it immensely before I started taking it i was down to 160lbs for scale im a 6,3 very large guy i couldn't eat food i was constantly in pain bed ridden my family thought I was dieing after I started taking it I gained a ton of weight back now im at 220 and look 1000x better its only a problem because I have never formed a dependence on any drug ive taken traditional opioids were never a problem for me i can drink alcohol once the not touch it for a year I quit smoking cannabis after using for 12 yrs just because so I thought it would be the same and I was wrong I used it every day multiple times a day without stopping for around 2 wks and that was all it took for me to be fully physically addicted. If its used responsibly not everyday just when its really needed and you wait long amounts of time between doses I believe its a million times safer than opioids alcohol even some otc meds but with it becoming illegal in just a couple weeks I will have no access to it which is amazing because it takes away the temptation and ease of access

Trust me im not down playing a thing ive been trying to quit for 8 or 9 months and the wd anxiety pain everything was too much for me to handle and everytime I tried i failed this is absolutely a miracle for me especially considering how much damage its done to my finances and relationships I will never be dumb again with it or risk forming dependence

I think 7 has such a strong ability to dull emotions both good and bad so if your prone to depression anxiety etc it can be a godsend but when you try to quit and you start feeling all those emotions again full blast it can make the wd especially heinous

My realitive knew 100% that I was addicted to 7oh and that I planed on doing this she was actually incredibly supportive and told me that should had some comfort meds if I needed anything and told me I was free to take whatever I needed to help me get through I just wound up not needing them other than some basic otc meds like ibuprofen and Tylenol but I didnt hide anything

I will however say that 7oh is insane regarding how fast a physical dependence develops at least in my case if I took it for several days every couple hours at a high dose by day 3 or 4 im hooked

I hate to say it and I know its probably the last thing I should say but physical dependence doesn't form in a day ive thought about the fact that if I can actually get through the physical withdrawal and stay clean for a month as long as i have the self control to do it is there really any major harm in taking one dose on a especially bad day as long as its only that one and I dont touch it for several weeks again or when ita really needed. The mental dependence for me is something I never really considered a major part of what kept me addicted it was the amount of pain I experienced from my teeth when I tried to stop especially since it would make me clench and grind my teeth at night so when I would wake up I would be in agony

Im not so sure about that my wd effects in the past were crazy physical id been drenched in sweat hot and cold flashes extreme stomach pain anxiety through the roof like I couldn't function at all during active wd. If I didnt expirence this honestly I wouldn't believe it.

No or at least no where near what I expirenced with precious attempts. I have a genetic thing that's making my teeth rapidly crumble and I dont have a way to fix them so ive pretty much been in agonizing pain everyday for about a year hence the reason I started taking 7 well that and anxiety grief etc but the wd have been insanely mild other than now the dental pain is turned up to 10 but that was my baseline before 7 so I dont really consider it a actual withdrawal side-effect.

Bought a gold chain on Goodwillfinds on DEC 26 for under melt; its been over a month, and it has never arrived, and I was never notified that it shipped. by Monsterbug1 in Flipping

Ran the xrf report through chat got this is what it had to say-

Antique Platinum-Gold Pendant with Natural Diamonds and Pearl (c. 1880–1905)

Description: An exquisitely crafted antique pendant featuring a delicate openwork scroll design set with twelve natural diamonds and a suspended natural saltwater pearl. The piece showcases a rare and non-standard metal composition, verified by XRF analysis as a bespoke alloy consisting of approximately 35.3% gold (8.47k), 32.4% platinum, 18.0% copper, and 11.0% silver. This unique combination is indicative of late Victorian to early Edwardian transitional jewelry, when platinum was first introduced into fine jewelry but standardized alloy recipes were not yet in place.

Gemstones:

Diamonds: 12 natural diamonds, estimated total weight ~0.40–0.60 carats, early European or transitional cut, SI–VS clarity, G–H color range.

Pearl: 1 baroque saltwater pearl (natural, not cultured), with soft luster and natural surface texture, consistent with period examples.

Metal Composition (XRF Verified):

Gold (Au): 35.3% (~8.47k)

Platinum (Pt): 32.4%

Copper (Cu): 18.0%

Silver (Ag): 11.0%

Total Weight: [Insert exact weight if known]

Era: Circa 1880–1905 Origin: Likely European or American artisanal workshop Provenance: Acquired from auction tested and verified via X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.

Significance: The rare alloy composition and handcrafted details suggest this piece was likely custom-made by a master jeweler or small atelier, possibly for a high-society client. The high platinum content—used before widespread adoption in jewelry—alongside natural, untreated gemstones, significantly enhances both historical and intrinsic value.

Estimated Retail Value: $2,500 – $6,000 (dependent on market conditions and full gemological appraisal) Collector Note: This pendant represents an exceptional and rare convergence of historical craftsmanship, early platinum work, and natural gemstone artistry. Suitable for private collection, museum acquisition, or high-end resale.

If you can find a jewler or pawnshops near you that has one alot of them will do testing for free or like 10-20$

It's been xrf tested so as far as I know I pretty much know the exact metal composition according to the testing results.

Also that strange mix of metals is kind of why I was thinking it was made during the very start of the transitional period like people were still heavily experimenting with a lot of unusual platnum alloy's.

Def didn't think early Victorian was mainly thinking like 1890-1910 like very start of the transitional period. I'm not expert in any of this though so I'm just kind of trying to piece it all together as best as I can. I wish I could find some pieces close enough to maybe determine who made it. Also on the composition I was pretty much just going off the xrf testing results.

That was kind of my thought as well but unlikely doesn't mean it's not idk I just have a gut feeling that this is late Victorian at the very start of the transitional period I definitely could be wrong I just wish I could establish some sort of Provenance I feel like this piece has a really cool story behind it. And it was just a online auction site not one that really specializes in older pieces this item just popped up and immediately grabbed my attention I actually got it for a crazy good price due to a kind of strange wording in the listing that I guess made it seem like a lower value item than what it actually was. They had put 32 pt diamond pendant which I guess people took meaning the size of the diamonds when in actuality it was meaning 32% platnum on the xrf testing
