SWIM's Q on the difference between Crank vs. Crystal

[tweekerdope]

I know this is all hypothetical, but humor SWIM because some questions seem to buzz around in his mind and he never remembers to get them answered.

So anyways, SWIM is curious, if you had a cook make two batches and suppose they were the exact same quality and purity. If the cook goes on to take the next step to recrystallize one of them then he is left with a pile of crank and a pile of crystal. If they are both meth would they both be the same purity, one just prettier, and in the end get you the same amount high?

I'm just wondering if there is any plus to crystal, besides that it took a while before people figured out nasty shiz to cut it it cause crank is easier to cut since its just powder? This is just my own theory from watching SWIM get high all the time, but he has no knowledge outside of how to light a pipe and suck in smoke, so I wanted to clear up this debate.

SWIM says crank is garbage.......In SWIM's experience with both, Crystal is better.......It's not cut with chemicals (which some are worse for you than meth itself).........More pure and you don't have to use as much as you would with CR.......Crystal smokes a lot better (fatter, thicker clouds,), Crystal has no "band aid" smelling smoke and doesn't leave your piezo all charred and black..........If SWIM's gonna do meth, do it the right way and get crystal

Really, crank is better for snorting and crystal is better for smoking/injecting. Both are suitable to take orally. Usually, crystal is of 'higher' purity than crank, so go for the crystal.

crystal is of higher purity yes. the fact is crystal and crank wouldn't have the same, it just dusnt happen. but swim does have a couple of things to correct.
Educated user suggests that crystal is not cut with chemicals (which some are worse for you than meth itself)
this is not entirley true, crystal is made from some of the most foul ingredients you could possibly think of, and if you had the time you would be able to see what lengths need to be taken these days to make crystal. crystal is also cut using "msm" which is also the same as what they use for crank/speed.

it is also stated crystal is More pure and you don't have to use as much as you would with CR.
This is true to an extent, however for the weak minded you get addicted a lot easily and your tolerence builds up quicker than crank meaning u will need more.

Crystal does not smoke as such, it more cooks. the smoke from crystal (ice) is not infact smoke, it is vapour, and if you exhale a big burn into a fairly big glass you can see that it will be denser than air.

and the reason your piezo is charred and black will be because sumone is cutting the product with something other than msm eg, glucose or sugar.


hope this helps out, remember, if you plan to try or use meth, there is no addiction, its all in your head.

"its all in your head" well yeah isn't everything

In swims experience, the black stuff generally isn't cut...Cut shows up as a piss yellow streak left behind from rolling a bowl, sometimes brown....Swim found that when he's too high to even spark his lighter properly, he heats up the pipe way too much and it sizzles and turns black and has the most foul chemical taste ever experienced.....So a black pookie means swiy isnt smoking their dope right, it should take 15 seconds tops to smoke a faaaaaat hit. And the dope should vaporize a tiny bit after swiy is done taking a hit, blow it out real quick, cool off the bowl and repeat....

On a side, swim has seen on TV shows about addiction, all these meth addicts have black bowls, Swim would litterally sock them in the face if they handed him a pookie like that....Jesus, torch it clean, cool it off, smoke a bowl properly, a black pookie is a rookie move.
