Indeed that has always been a worry for SWIM. He sort of took it upon himself to find befriend dealers to acquisition such synthetics and share them with friends who were less scrupulous.. a purity-seeking-journey, SWIM has noticed most outwardly obvious effects of overdoing MDMA in people who use tablets. SWIM does know that powders can be adulterated almost as easily as tablets. SWIM used to find MDMA in actual tiny VERY ROCKY crystals, SWIM would hurt badly if he insuffalated these. SWIM liked these days because he knew it can't be very easy to add filler to chunky crystals that look like cocaine freebase (but have the effect of MDxx), but for marketing reasons SWIM thinks dealers started powderising crystals and mixing with filler. SWIM found most people thought crystals were "dirty".


SWIMs methodology is that MDMA is a good dose at 125mg, and MDA usually at 100mg. SWIM normally tastes that amount as part of his purity-seeking-journey. If SWIM must eat 150mg MDMA to get the effect of a "single dose"; SWIM then believes his MDMA is 80% pure. If SWIM really wants to know he takes about 40mg and sees if he feels any effect; if he doesn't it can't be 100% pure. SWIM knows this is guess-work, but has taken to stashing away pure doses to use in the future as he is trying to completely curb current MDMA usage; and culmative tolerance makes this purity-test more difficult. SWIM also knows certain isomers make differences in the neurotoxicity and dosage, and has no effective way of knowing this so your point remains a solid one. SWIM wishes the Gas Chromotography tests available at some portuguese festivals were available in his area, but has resorted to methods such as the above in absence of better methods. For the time being SWIM relies on knowing his dealer personally, smoking ganja with him and discussing love and life. SWIMs dealer is older than him and seems to have his head together (as 'together' as you can be after DMT trips, LSD, and MDMA) and uses substances about as infrequently as SWIM does. SWIM knows this isn't an assertation of purity, but the consistency with which his source provides 80%+ purity (last batch of MDA is 99% SWIM thinks; found it very potent and a chunky very crystalline powder versus the more flour like texture of most MDMA) comforts him. SWIM doesn't know anything about prices of illicit chemicals or at least doesn't share it with me ;)


SWIM tries to turn on as many people as possible to responsible use of methylated amphetamines (what he considers to be the sort of dose vs. weight consciousness as I have discussed above), but most people are too bothered to use liquid measurment to get an accurate dosage and instead rely on things like it smelling like liquorice and being called "sassafras". SWIM finds this disconcerting, and while he tries to say it in a kind tone, calls their statements wrong and tries to encourage them to seek education. SWIM knows sassafras is a plant, and (WILL NOT DISCUSS SYNTHESIS) has no profound psychoactive effects from extraction alone.


SWIM understands your preference for organic psychedelics. At one point SWIM was (and is actually) convinced he could give up all synthetics if only he had easy access to a few Khat plants (Khat leaves are illegal in Canada), Guarana seeds, Kola Nuts. SWIM already has access to psilocybin mushrooms, P. Torch, and MHRB. These definitely replace any synthetic psychedelic. SWIM finds LSD doesn't do it for him anymore, because SWIM likes the (however mild) stimulation of mescaline. SWIM has had an INCREDIBLY potent mescaline trip, its just that he hasn't been able to repeat that--tea seemed ineffective, he puked or had it run through him when he tried to ingest it capsulated or "dissolved" in orange juice like his local shaman suggested. SWIM prefers the warmed feelings of Peruvian Torch and Psilocybes to LSD; he values LSD, but feels he has very little use for it anymore. SWIM is convinced LSD let him become less obsessive over details, he became more present in the moment and aware of his feelings. SWIM's P. Torch experience was the most intense hallucinogenic experience he has ever felt. The plateau went on forever, and the imagery was so rich and colourful. He was pleasantly, but not over-stimulated. SWIMs only regret was that he was too close to civilization and his friends wanted to return home the next morning when SWIM was definately not anywhere near baseline. The highways and cars felt like grotesque, SCREAMING machines. As he walked under an overpass SWIM though Jet Fighters were in the sky and fell to the ground seeking cover .. before quickly realizing his ears were playing tricks on him. There was definitely and aural effect. The only synthetic SWIM would not gladly replace for an organic compound is MDA--its empathy is too rich for words. SWIM intends to experience 2CE, 2CB, and 2CT7 in his lifetime, but is not intent on researching them past a micro dose, a middle dose, and a breakthrough dose; and definately not in a recreational/habitual manner. SWIM values shulgins work and wishes he were a chemist such as he.
