Also acid is generally more obnoxious and cost inefficient to produce because it requires someone with a generally uncommon skillset supervising others in some way during production. The effects of mishandling the production of it are also different and its way less functionally addictive

It still exists. I don't know how it came to be that I was able to get any, but I was jumping up and down at Coachella on it last Sunday.

Very late to the party noob question: Why are we putting fent in everything? Seems like a bad idea. I don't see how I can sell more drugs if my customer base is diminishing due to dying from using my product.

fent ends up in oxies, heroin, etc (things that are mostly similar, higher strength opiates/oids and sometimes fake xanax cause there's so much cross abuse) because it's cheaper than the real thing, which is typically a factor of easier to smuggle. some examples of this are e.g. the PBA head from Arizona? getting busted running an importation ring, but it's also like the proliferation of 3d printers and files that mimic actual xanax, oxycontin, etc pills down to the numbers that are on them to verify (which is how you get fake pills that look like the real ones - this has always been possible but recently it got significantly easier, especially the trade dress/ID number stuff).

fent ends up in 'ketamine', 'speed', 'flakka', etc because these are drugs that are also easy to fake using imported not-yet-banned chemicals, and they use the same supply chains as fent. if you're already importing the fent why not get some 3-meo-pcp or diphenidine and sell it as k? same for the novel amphetamines and benzos (which also contributes to the fake xanax problem). more customers and similar risk level. but be careful when you clean your scales...

fent ends up in cocaine because a lot of times coke dealers aren't just coke dealers and you really only need like grains of sand level cleanliness fuckups to contaminate. maybe this happens at the street level, but also at the import level. the paths these things are taking are similar, especially after spring 2020. there's also speculation that spiking a pack w/ fent is drug dealers up/down the chain trying to cause problems for one another. idk about this but it helps explains sorta the clusters of fent ods from coke which are fuckin weird.

fent at one point ended up in a gas station cbd vape in mississippi I think? which is a head scratcher. until you realize those companies are all just importing novel cannabinoids (synthed in the same places that do novel opioids) and a scale wipe woopsy has down-road effects

there were reports of a fent-contaminated batch of mushrooms at electric forest last year? which afaik is still stumping everyone. that to me feels like a psyop or a spill or some mass hysteria poo poo. except it was reported by one of the best festival-side harm reduction groups in the country w/ caveats etc. so idk.

acid is still around. it tends to be cyclical, like a big batch gets cooked and passed around and everyone does that for a couple years and then they repeat. other than that, get cooler friends?

there's also been a lot of recent interest in analogs like e.g. 1p-lsd that are basically the same poo poo and those tend to be very easy to find on the internet

Also there functional limitations to how much dealers want to buy (so less of their customers reselling too) because it's just way easier to move heroin or methamphetamine or something like that. They create more intense neurological dependency and can be IVed.

Alcohol is definitely a drug people age out of.

Personally I hardly ever aged into it. 90 minutes of pleasure followed by 18 hours of stomach aches, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and depression, and I only have ever drank in moderation. I'll pass

something I've thought about a lot, but haven't quite formed a cohesive concept around, is that the particular formatting of reddit (and to some extent, facebook comments), is purpose-built to resist the formation of established ground-truth

because every thread is fated to fade away over time
because comments cannot (normally) be read in a straight chronological fashion
because you can't even search the loving website properly

there is never any hope for any kind of new consensus. Someone pipes up with a bit of news, or a novel idea, or a strong argument, and you might even get people at that moment, within a span of, say, 24 hours, to agree with it, or to absorb some new information

and then it's gone

and then a week later the same thread pops up again, if it does at all, except nobody has learned anything

and it just goes on like that forever

I've got some friends who killed two birds with one stone by telling their parents they were never having kids if they couldn't afford to get out of their wildly overpriced apartment. Both of their parents pooled their money to give them enough for a 20% down payment.

So what I'm saying is it's easy. Just have parents and in-laws with enough liquid cash to cover a down payment and then threaten to never give them grandkids. Do it when you're almost 40 so the pressure is really on.

Booze like all drugs hits different people different ways. I love beer and wine but if I have more than 4 drinks or so in a day it's like a switch is flipped and I'm on the ground vomiting for the entire next day. It happened a couple of times before I tore my esophagus from heaving and started spitting blood. Now I am super careful and it blows my mind to watch my buddies knock back drink after drink.

My wild guess for the slight uptick is people getting lucky with crypto and stonks from the money hose flailing around since they turned 18. Perhaps some onlyfans winners in there too.

Other than that, the usual generational wealth and their families putting their name on it for first time homebuyer bonus.

We looked at heads of household. Intergenerational housing is tricky. My mom lived with me in the first home I bought at 26, and while she did provide the down payment, I paid the monthly payment, so I would have been in this area of gray.
