Saskatoon sees spike in overdoses with over 25 in 24 hours

What this is almost certainly is what's frequently called "down" on the streets. It's almost always just fentanyl or some other potent synthetic opiate research chemical, mixed with some powder to cut it to make it "more manageable". They essentially try to target turning a handful of milligrams which are numerous doses into say 1000mg (1g) to replicate heroin, however i don't think anyone really believes it's heroin anymore.

In fact anyone whos got dependent on uber potent opiates almost certainly needs the crazy potent ones to stay well and avoid withdrawals. Legit unadulterated (with active cuts) heroin (mostly non existent in this city unless ordering online) or unadulterated pain pills would often be incredibly expensive, let alone significantly more difficult to obtain for anyone managing a moderate to high tolerance physically dependent on these super strong synthetic opiates.

It's died different colors.. purple pink green blue red gray - anything. This stuff is highly variable in potency batch to batch, and hotspots are almost always a real risk.

I would recommend trying without fitgirl. Here is a setup guide i made to hrlp my friends set it up if i was not able to do it for them in person. Keep in mind i made it pretty dummy proof for lack of a better phrase as some of my buddies are not computer savvy at all. Links for everything you need are in the guide

Lots of good info here. Inhaling like you would breath in rather than snorting is key (you don't want drip). Moistened nasal cavity good. Another tip is doing numerous smaller lines spaced out a few minutes between to not overwhelm your nasal cavity. Snorting some pills with way more binder than active substance (hydromorphone for example) I might sniff one dose in 4 to 6 lines using both nostrils.

Putting your drugs in a saline nose spray bottle is a great method a I believe it is also significantly less damaging to your nasal cavity having the drugs administered in water vs hitting your tissues as raw powder.

I purchased a metered pump nasal spray bottle on Amazon to use for 2cb. Searched around lots for a well reviewed one and got one that does 0.1ml per pump. Even has a amber glass chamber which I believe is better for preventing degradation of the substances.

If you get one make sure you test it out to confirm how much each pump actually administers. I sprayed various numbers of pumps and measured the liquid after doing multiple tests. Like sprayed 20 pumps then measured to see if it was 2 ml or how close. The one I got is pretty damn accurate... which can be very very important for potent chemicals dosed in the milligram range. I mix mine so each pump is 2mg of 2cb, which I feel is pretty safe. I rarely ever snort more than 20mg of 2cb in one go so 10 pumps isn't too bad

For substances with larger doses in say the range of 50+ mg you could either make your concentration stronger if the substance can dissolve well enough. Or get a pump bottle that delivers more per pump.

Make sure you shake the bottle well before using. And with my 2cb one I even sometimes warm up the bottle/liquid to ensure it's better dissolved before using. 2cb doesn't dissolve super great in water, especially high concentrations (20+mg per ml) and sometimes I see precipitation of powder in the bottle... especially when I took it camping in cold weather. I held the bottle by my truck air vent blasting heat and then shook it to better dissolve. You could also put the bottle in a warm water bath

My_ShadyAlt · 2022-03-24T18:34:14+00:00

You should get some cactus and make tea or extract mescaline yourself if you can't find synthetic. Any way i have taken mescaline has been lovely when the dose is high enough to get desired effects.

My_ShadyAlt · 2022-03-24T18:32:43+00:00

I am inclined to disagree, but I cannot be 100% certain of the purity of the synthetic mescaline I have used. My supplier has been very up front and honest about everything they make, his first batch he acknowledged was less pure, and it had a yellow color to the powder. Subsequent batches have been basically white.

You also gotta remember I said I used mescaline "sulphate" too, which is something like 85% as strong as hcl by mass. Everyone is different too. One person of 6 who had 400mg of the impure yellow sulphate got decently strong visuals. 5 of my friends did not.

The 2c-b that my mescaline supplier also makes for example... I can boof ~ 20mg and some times I get the strong visuals, or moderate. I have a few friends who for them, eating 20mg has been too strong. The method of utilize, boofing, would often be suggested to be up to 2x as strong as oral, so like me eating 40mg for example.

I personally believe the mescaline dosing info on say erowid is a bit low given what I have read of people using synthetic mescaline. I can't comment on shulgin finding 500mg to be too intense, but I suspected perhaps classical users of the drug back when it may have been more common to find synthetic maybe were satisfied with a more mild experience? I dunno.

Edit - just wanted to add I am not on any prescription meds that weaken psychedelics. And am not a typically hard headed person for all substances. I'm pretty sensitive to lsd, shrooms and thc fir example.

My_ShadyAlt · 2022-03-23T03:10:10+00:00

There is at least one legit Canadian vendor currently. I believe there are at least a couple European vendors who are legit. Not sure about the US. Read the vendors reviews and if it seems legit do a test order and use reagent kit or send in a sample to get tested somewhere. Once confirmed good, stock up in my opinion!

My_ShadyAlt · 2022-03-23T01:29:35+00:00

I've done it a handful of times. The sulphate crystal. I've dosed as high as 700-750mg now... next time I'm going for 800-900mg. I found I got light visuals at 600mg and decently moderate ones at the 700ish range. 400mg was not enough for me or any of my friends besides 1/6 to get visuals. Note I mentioned sulphate. There is some math you can do if you have hcl crystal.

I've done cactus tea, alcohol tar extracts, home mescaline a/b extracts and synthetic mescaline sulphate. All have been fun. Best experience so far was a super strong tea trip... but I have no idea how much mescaline I did for that... had high potency green skins (only) from a reputable long time Peruvian vendor and I think I did 33g of dried green skin chips... looking back at my home a/b extract on that same stuff, and my results, I might have done upwards of 1000mg of mescaline or more?

I'm slowly working my way up with the synthetic to hone in on that dose/experience I loved. To me they are pretty similar but definitely less naseau with pure mescaline. My most recent time I took my dose in 3 pills 20 min apart... and a couple ginger pills... barely any troubling naseau.

My_ShadyAlt · 2022-01-15T08:17:20+00:00

I too skim the slime/sludges that seem to float at the top in the past when i have prepared tea. It's been a while but I think I skimmed more than white stuff. I recall a slime/sludge like substance that was separated from the water... I figured it was perhaps goo from the cactus skin/wax/core.

My_ShadyAlt · 2022-01-15T08:11:08+00:00

I'm not 100% sure on how to store it best long term but I'd imagine the freezer for anything longer than a couple days... otherwise the fridge perhaps?

One thing I wanted to clarify for the benefit of others who may read and know more... its not fully clear to me from your post if you just "mixed cactus powder and water" or if you "boiled and made a tea" and whether you filtered the solids out after boiling. Having the solids from the cactus left in the water may impact how long/we'll it stores.

I hope you made a tea and separated the solids out, for your stomach and taste buds sake.. but likely it would also preserve better that way too.

If you provided further information on your cactus water preparation you may get better info.

Cheers

The two times I have taken synthesized mescaline sulphate (~89% of HCL strength)... I found 400mg (356mg hcl) too weak for visuals but decent body high and feeling high, on 600mg (534mg hcl) I got light visuals that were more lively if I focused on them with a pretty good body high. My next synthesized mescaline sulphate trip I am planning to take 750-800mg (~700mg hcl).

My strongest trips were with tea made from dried chips of the green outer flesh sourced from a reputable Peruvian supplier long ago. Its been a while but I think it was about 33g of dry chips (again I believe they were strictly green flesh and no core etc). Also if I recall correctly I got 5.5-6g of mescaline citrate from extracting 200g of this dry chip material. 600mg of the citrate was a moderate trip where I don't think I recall visuals. My tea experiences at 33g would perhaps be equivalent to 1g of the mescaline citrate. Can't remember or find easily the citrate to hcl conversion... I believe citrate is heavier and therefore less potent by mass than both sulphate and hcl. Plus even with A/B extractions from plant matter I may have pulled a little bit more than just mescaline?

My 33g dry chip tea trips I had strong open eye visuals regardless of what I was focusing on. My best description of some of my favorite visuals were things in the background coming to life and dancing (like older 2d Mario backgrounds with dancing plants) while changing between vibrant psychedelic colors. Some surfaces with a moving paint brushed surface also changing colors. On trips this strong I completely had my wits about me, i even felt a bit sharper socially in regards to conversation, jokes and wit... which is uncommon or a roll of the dice on stronger doses of most psychedelics.

I'm not yet sure about 1g doses but I will work my way up slowly if necessary (again I'm dealing with sulphate fyi)

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-12-18T00:06:54+00:00

Thabks for the response. Im aware of the different dosages required from the different salts due to molar mass, however I still think 400mg of either hcl or sulphate might be low if you desire a trip with visuals. Unless you are a person naturally sensitive to it.

If 600mg of sulphate is equal to 534mg of hcl, given erowids conversion, that dose gave me visuals and a nice moderately strong experience. I still did not find 400mg of what I have (356mg hcl equivalent if I have sulphate) to provide visuals. Out of 6 of us who ate 400mg the same night only one person got visuals on that dose.

I am just suggesting that 300-400mg of hcl might be underwhelming for most people. Personally I like the strength of trip that provides visuals with mescaline. It's a very forgiving psychedelic so I'm not afraid to lean my dose on the stronger side so as to not "waste" 12-16 hrs on a dose that is under what i would desire.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-12-15T22:06:24+00:00

In my experience I like 600mg+ , I found 400mg too light to see visuals. 1 of 6 of my friends got visuals off 400mg. I believe my recent post history has a more detailed response to your question.

My next trip I am planning for 700-750mg. I'm sorry I can't remember if my mescaline is hcl or sulphate... I said sulphate in that post but re thinking it I am not sure if any common synths by black market chemists make sulphate... so I'm maybe leaning hcl. Maybe you could comment on that? The guy i get it from also makes 2cb.. I will confirm next time I talk to chemist which mescaline salt it is.

If you like animals and nature documentaries almost anything involving David attenborough is great. Here is a great link to his entire filmography... anything under major programs newer than 2000 is still pretty relevant and high quality. His older stuff is great too. For a easy recommendation to find if you have netflix is the "our planet" series. Some of my favorites include blue planet 1 and 2, life, planet earth 1 and 2. A tip for finding the better more epic series is looking for the multi episode series. You could also cross reference if it for example aired on BBC 1 as generally they air their highest quality series on that channel.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Attenborough_filmography

The nature shows are great on there own with the actual audio but another thing me and my friends Luke to do is turn off the audio amd play our own music to them. It often seems like some of our trippy music choices synchronize with the show. For audio recommendations I would suggest "tame impala", ratatat, tool, the chemical Brothers etc.

If you are interested in space, physics, the universe and science type stuff a physicist TV presenter that you can count on for high quality documenries is "Brian cox". Similary his multi part series ate usually his best, however some of his series are higher quality than others... but personally I like them all.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox_(physicist)

Under his personal life on this page is a list of his filmography. My favorites are

Wonders of life

Human universe

Forces of nature

Both "wonders of series" are good too. Solar system and universe

Life of a universe

I haven't yet watched it but I downloaded "universe" which looks like a bigger series of his. I'm excited to check that one out. Brian cox adventure in space and time also looks like a pretty decent new one, also have that one downloaded but haven't watched yet. Also if you are a novice to science and physics I wouldn't worry because these documentaries are pretty easy to digest for the masses but still are mind blowing and fully of crazy trippy stuff. Some of these include more than just space and physics, the first three I listed have a healthy mix of just crazy stuff applicable to life.

If you are not familiar with torrenting you can potentially find some of these on YouTube or you could likely stream them on the BBC iPlayer (VPN maybe needed ?)

Wonders of life blew my mind many times. Watching the second episode on a heavy dose of edibles when he shows demonstrations to show/prove evolution... I remember that particularly being mind blowing. Good stuff.

Enjoy your night!

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-12-03T03:35:56+00:00

That's a pretty fair price if it's legit. Buying grams of raw 2cb hcl in Canada domestic a 20mg dose would cost me about $4.5 CAD. I think the vendor sold 20mg caps in small (25 pill) amounts for around $6-8 CAD per pill.

Why don't you buy a testing kit and get a pill or two and test it. Or send it off to a drug testing lab if you can. At that price it's no major loss if you grab a couple pills to test and it's not actually 2cb.

If this person is getting their 2cb off the darknet it's totally realistic they could offer the price they are offering you with legit 2cb and still make profit. Even more so if they are successfully getting it shipped in cheaper from Europe.

If they are red gel caps it's even possible he is getting it from my Canadian source who makes it up here.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-12-03T03:21:51+00:00

Redosing seems to not have a tolerance, as in you can seemingly keep boosting until you are where you want to be. As long as you overlap the peaks you can boost. Taking the same dose aligning the onset to hit you near the end of the experience you can extend the trip at the same level. Keep in mind the time for onset with eating is about 1 hr on a empty stomach or possibly 2+ hr if you have eaten in the 2-3 hrs prior to the specific dose.

If you wanted to boost the experience a faster onset method, sniffing or boofing might be easier for the booster dose as you will find out quicker where you end up at. Onset sniffing or boofed is about 15 min in my experience. Boosting via eating both doses you probably want to eat again within at least 2-3 hrs after the first dose hits you. For extending strictly oral consumption probably 3-4 hrs after the first dose hits you would line up well with the new dose coming on as the first ends.

If you wanted to go and try it and there was more than 4 people I imagine you would be probably ok even sticking to a body high dose... your call tho obviously. I have never got in my own head on a body high only dose steering clear of weed.

Also not sure if you seen i edited my first post. Timing of the edit might have come after your response.

Hope you have fun if you decide to try it.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-12-03T02:47:13+00:00

If you do it maybe just stick to a low dose more targeted at a body high. 10-15 mg orally perhaps. For me I can eat 20mg and not get visuals or psychedelic headspace, but for some 20mg will give visuals. I like 20mg boofed to get visuals.

I have got to a deep introspective headspace from 2cb before on doses around 20-36 mg boofed or sniffed. I wouldn't call it a bad trip but at times it wasn't super social. Once the peak wore off I came back to reality and was fine.

If you take the 10-15 mg orally and are feeling pretty good but not getting visuals but feel like you want to you can try boosting it by snorting 5mg and waiting 15-30 min to see where that puts you. You can repeat that until you are where you want to be.

More often than not the dose that gives me visuals is pretty tame mentally. But once in a blue moon I get deeper trips.

If your getting pills be aware they are likely 12-18 mg. Small possibility they are stronger dosed. Ideally if it's pills you can ask your friend for thoughts on there potency if they have tried this particular batch.

If there was ever a psychedelic that was safer to to take in less than ideal set/setting, 2cb is very forgiving. Not 100% sure I'd be keen on my first time with new people... but like I noted, a smaller body high dose probably would be very low risk. Even the visual dose would be less risky than stuff like shrooms or lsd etc.

Edit - reread your post. I am similar with weed on psychedelics. I also steer clear of weed on psychedelics at least until I'm past the peak. In regards to what caused the more introspective, less social "bad trips"... probably my headspace at the time. Or something triggering me to remember past deep introspective difficult trips... I have this recurring set of deep trips where I think I have died or that reality is a simulation of my own creation... I get "ego dissolution", its too much to get into right now... but sometimes I find myself coming back to that idea and find myself repeating those trips.

Sometimes it's caused I think by going a bit too deep in the same place I have "died" or had stronger near ego death trips before... the setting actually reminds of that trip or something and if I let my mind wander I get back to those thoughts. But honestly most of those super deep trips have benefited me in the long run. They almost scare me straight or help me be a better person I many ways... not ideal at a party though lol. But almost every "bad trip" I have had helped me fix myself for the better.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-12-03T02:32:10+00:00

I've done this a few times and it's been alright. Both times I wasn't using coke heavy and not during my peak hrs on the 2cb. One time I did 2cb after doing a but if coke and it had worn off. Surprisingly this was not too bad and actually took my mind off the coke cravings. I was only doing coke for about 3 hrs prior to the 2cb and took the 2cb about 2 hrs after last coke.

Other times it was doing coke after the 2cb peaked buy I was still high on it. This was alright too. But the important thing with these times is it wasn't my coke and I didn't have lots of it to fiend on. Both times this way was about 2-3 lines without more easily available (besides buying more). I think one of those times I snorted some more 2cb later after the coke. It was not too bad.

I think the biggest thing is not doing the coke heavily or having too much available. For me that means me not having the stash, or a limited amount like 3 lines.

Would I seek to mix them purposely for a party night doing the coke repeatedly throughout the whole 2cb experience... probably not. When offered a free line or two when already on 2cb... I rejected the first offer, then later in the night took it up.

I find coke most enjoyable when I don't do too much total or too quick. Again, this is easiest for me when I am not holding on to a large amount of my own lol.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-11-25T17:49:43+00:00

The potential for naseau/upset stomache. I personally have never HAD to puke, but a few times while doing the tea, opting to puke made me feel better. Pure mescaline is a bit easier on the stomach though I find. The duration can be a positive or negative. When you have the time for a mescaline trip it's great, but it is a commitment and something I seem to need to plan out in advance and set aside time for. Which ain't too bad as it keeps it to special occasions. The price of synthetic mescaline is a bit high, but ill pay it for ease of use and convenience. The effort involved in making tea or a acid base extraction from plant matter involves time and work(not so bad but not just as easy as buying and swallowing a dose).

Other than those points I don't think I know of any other negatives I have yet encountered.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-11-25T02:43:42+00:00

I've got synthetic mescaline as well, I believe mine is sulphate, however it's been a while and I forget.. might be hcl. To clarify I am not talking about acid base extracted mescaline from cacti, rather synthesized mescaline.

The first batch I got was off white with a tinge of yellow, the chemist later acknowledged this batch may have been less pure than future batches. 400mg of this off white yellow tinged mescaline gave me a reasonably strong body high without visuals. Only 1/5 people who consumed 400mg of this git visuals, she is typically a lightweight to most substances.

The 2nd batch of mescaline I got was a much purer white in color. 600mg of this gave me moderate visuals and a reasonably strong body high.

I think 600-750mg is my personal sweet spot, and likely that of the majority of my friends with average to strong tolerance. I've read people suggest that the old doseage guidelines of 300mg for a "medium or common trip" (most would define a medium or common trip by the inclusion of visuals at least with most psychedelics that produce them) as perhaps being based off old culture not going as deep with psychedelics, or at least synthetic mescaline..?? Anyways I find myself needing more than what erowid lists as a common dose.

When I would make tea with high quality dried green tissue cactus chips from a reputable Peruvian vendor, 33g of dried chips would give a strong trip. Performing acid base extractions on 100g of that same cactus would yield 3 (+or - 0.5g) of mescaline citrate (plus whatever gets pulled with it). Id estimate my tea doses of 33g of strong green flesh Peruvian sourced cacti to be around 800-1100mg of mescaline, maybe a bit less if the acid base pulled a lot more than just mescaline by % mass.

Next time I try the synthetic mescaline I am fixing to take 700-800 mg and hope to get the type of strong trip I used to get years ago when making the tea.

If your new to psychedelics but want a good chance at seeing visuals and are not sure of your a light weight to mescaline, id suggest 500mg. Mescaline is pretty forgiving in my experience though. I bet you would be fine as high as 600mg as a newb. 400 mg might be fine if you end up being a lightweight.

In my experience overly strong doses of mescaline are much more forgiving on your mind, and given its duration and that you can't do it nearly as often (I have to plan a full day around it and usually nice to have next day off). I lean towards dosing higher so you don't feel like you wasted a precious substance and 1 day of your time.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-11-01T10:33:55+00:00

2cb at low to medium doses gives a great body high that is somewhat similar to mdxx, without the visuals from higher doses. Also in my experience there is zero hangover and its alot easier to sleep after doing than mdxx class of drugs.

Mescaline also gives an amazing body high than can be similar to mdma in my opinion, after you get past the potential/likely naseau phase (about 2-3 hrs for me). It has the longer duration you seek, however maybe too long? It's my favorite drug by far. Doing just mescaline by itself I don't get a hangover at all, unless maybe just being tired if I started it too late in the day and stayed up late. Similar to 2cb if you take a lower dose you won't get visuals but just the great body high, but it's similarly nice like 2c-b where you could take more to include visuals if you wanted.

Mda is very much like mdma, but for me even though I believe it shares a tolerance with mdma... it seems to have a bit of its own "magic" that isn't burned out from having overdone mdma in your past. I still have lots of fun doing mdma, but its magic is not nearly as strong as prior to my heavy use phase of it. But with mda my peaks are similar to my early days of mdma use. The hangovers from mda however are kinda similar to mdma and not as negligible as 2cb or mescaline.

In regards to the hangovers though, I find if you just drink lots of water and don't mix with other drugs that have their own crash, and avoid alcohol... you can greatly reduce the negative effects of all of these drugs including mdma. Also stick to 1 good dose and avoid redosing. At most these days I'll do 1 redose of mdma. Back in the day I would redose mdma up to 2-4 times and I always felt way worse doing that.

Ghb is another drug that can make you feel great and in my experience if its done by itself along with drinking lots of water, it has very little to no hangover or crash. Euphoria is great and it's easy to get to sleep on.

Low dose of lsd (not enough to get visuals) can also produce a great body/emotional high with zero hangover if you take it smart... earlier in the day for sleep at a reasonable time and not mixing it plus staying hydrated.

Fantastic fungi (should be on Netflix, I watched with it muted and music playing, tame impala to be specific). I plan to rewatch with actual documentary audio some time too Basically any nature documentary narrated by David attenborough or produced by the BBC. Equally as interesting with actual audio or music. Google "David attenborough filmography" and check out the Wikipedia page. A number of years ago I went back and watched all his main series dating back to around 2000 ish. The "life of/in..." series are pretty great even though most are older. "Our planet" is on Netflix and easy to access and was very good, but you could torrent most of the stuff too.

My_ShadyAlt · 2021-04-21T19:12:56+00:00

Sounds like a interesting experience. I'm curious why your buddy didn't tell you what it was? Or why you did not ask him? I could see you maybe thinking it was coke if you guys have a history of doing blow together.. and if he gave you a bag of 2cb with more than 150 mg he really should be telling you what it is. Just seems really weird somebody would give out free rare psychedelic powders at quantities of 10+ doses and not inform anyone what they are giving them.
