Esoteric Chemicals, Greedy Drug Dealers, Bath Salts, Bastards, Bass

Let me tell you a little about my timeline. Being a convicted felon sucks balls, and it makes you very leary, if you have a half of a brain in your head, about doing anything that might land a person back in prison in the first place. So, in my timeline of existence, I have always been very fortunate to either be myself, or be close friends with a few people whom are very plugged in to the cutting edge of chemical technology, and therefore were using (in my non-human research, of course) many, many of these things that the whole nation suddenly was introduced to in the last few years.

Methylone, in particular, which was great for making sand castle glue in my research, but was apparently ALSO a potent agonist/analogue that substituted for MDMA, was often one of the main ingredients in bath salts. Regardless, though, as it would happen, a random stranger told me, (and I checked it out, he is right!) that Methylenedioxy N Methacathinone, along with MBDB, and several other substituted cathinones were around for a long, long time.We were first introduced to them, and importing them from out of the country for personal sandcastle preservation use back around Y2K. For years & years it was a wonderful secret that we introduced to all sorts of great and responsibly deserving people. We knew from previous experience that the moment somebody thought they could get away with marketing these substances was going to be the beginning of the end. It also, to me, violated the cardinal sin: DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF COMMUNITY SECRETS FOR PERSONAL GAIN. Which is precisely what the bath salt bastards did.

The previous experience we were familiar with dates way back to the 90s and early 2000s....

We were bringing 5-MEO-DIPT and 5-MEO-DMT to raves (to use as glowstick effects enhancer) such as Minneapolis'  "Stairway to Headphones" and Milwaukee's NYE Drop Bass Network shows as far back as 1996. When I got out of the Gulag in 1998, after serving time for possession of LSD, I had two UA tests a week for a year, and another 1 every week for the NEXT year.... Thats a lot of pissing in cups. As a result, I turned to some things which didn't turn up in your urine. Ironically, LSD was one of them, and the other was GHB. So enamored with GHB were we (as an ingredient in candlemaking) that it became a huge thing that we turned all sorts of people onto back then as well--And at this time, it wasn't even a known issue, and was perfectly legal. Then, shortly after we started making our own, recipes began popping up on this primitive thing called the internet, and a few places even started selling kits to make GHB with the two main ingredients, so all people had to do was order, follow instructions, and voila! ---- And wouldn't you know it, it couldn't have been SIX MONTHS later that date rapes and irresponsble use of this interesting inebriant (for some people! I used it to make candles.) was all over the news, and congress passed an emergency scheduling to outlaw it almost AT ONCE it seemed like, and added the extra harsh punishments that go with the label "DATE RAPE DRUG" additionally tacked on. We heard about Congress having scheduled a date a few weeks out to have a hearing on emegency scheduling GHB. So, naturally, what we did (a friend and fellow candlemaking enthusiast) and I ordered (2) 5-Gallon drums of Gamma-ButyroLactone from ACROS chemical in order to ensure that if they cut of the supply chains, we'd be good for years and years to come. However, this was our first taste of suspicion being proven right: That when people try to use advantageous legal loopholes for personal profit, it nearly ALWAYS will ENSURE that you're ultimately going to alert Congress to something that they wouldn't have otherwise been aware of. 2C-B was one of the earliest victims to this...The "Herbal Nexus" that was sold in the triangle shaped boxes back in the rave shops in the 90's....There was nothing herbal about it. Those pills were real 2C-B, but the problem was that they were only 5mg each..... and so you had to eat a whole box to wig balls.

Of course, some people probably ate 5 whole boxes, and brought the house down going apeshit loon-style, because it was 1999 when Congress did their emergency 2C-B scheduling, and took from us one of the VERY best and most special entheogen allies ever discovered.... 2C-I and 2C-E do not hold a candle to 2C-B (in using it in molding religious-use incense sticks together of course).

Basically, congress has been burning up the best and brightest chemicals around at a breakneck pace. Up next? I can almost guarantee before the year is out that there will be an nBOME ban for all the nBOME series substances that David Nichols geniusly added to the compendium of knowledge.... But too much irresponsible use has certainly ensured that it will not last either. Possibly the same tale with Methoxetamine. Its a Ketamine analog that I understand is just TOO unique not to have somebody ruin it for everyone else.

Its a sad state of affairs when EVERYthing you once relied on as your secret arsenal is just burnt up item by item because some people got greedy and ruined it for the rest of us. This is why, if you're out there Bath Salts Producers, and conceivers of the idea: a big, hearty FUCK YOU, from the rest of us who went years, decades even, without shitting where we eat (to quote the luminous Ween, of course), and who relied on the things you got taken away in no time flat for all of us, for good. Please have some foresight and anybody planning to release some new "bath salts with the few remaining good empathogen analogues: FUCKING STOP IT!

(And, for posterity, in my age, a hearty "Get of my fuckin' lawn too, you sons of bitches!")
