Drug info - quality of cocaine in different countries

[Nargyle]

Ok, so the alien that abducted me the other night told me a little story.
He said that he was a 25 year old peruvian guy who had enjoyed cocaine quite a bit in his home country, however last year he decided to travel through europe for a while, he stayed several months in the netherlands where his family originally comes from and where he still has family and friends, while there he tried cocaine a couple of times but he never got the good effects he got from peruvian coke, he just felt speedy and anxious. Then he went to visit his brother that lives in Spain, in the canary islands to be more precise, and also tried cocaine there without getting good effects again.
He says he now wonders if peruvian cocaine is much better than the coke from other countries, can anybody that has travelled or knows about this confirm his suspicions?
Thanks.

being closer to production sites usually helps. Cocaine is often cut / adulterated for profit, especially after the long travel to Europe and elsewhere, where the profit margin exploses. closer to production sites, ie south america, and especially in cocaine producing countries such as Columbia Peru and Bolivia and neighbouring countries like Brasil, the profit margin is smaller, cocaine less expensive and of far better quality than what one can find in europe...

yes, it's the active adulteraqnts that change the feeling of cocaine.
without going into a discussion of cuts themsleves, amphetamines, ephedrine, caffeine, any stimulant cheaper than cocaine are used you name it are used as active adulterants, to allow the dealer to cut even more with cheap inactives. it definetly changes the effects of cocaine, if there is any in there in first place which is not always the case. of course people can get good quality cocaine even in europe, but the quality norm is far lower than in south american countries, where most cuts used are actually inactives, rather than stimulant / local anesthesic / inactive cocktails.

if the typical peruvian coke is 20% cut and the typical european coke is 60% cut, a european line would have to be 40% larger than a peruvian line in order to acheive the same effect. SWIM doesn't know about how other people experience cocaine as it seems to vary widely from person to person, but SWIM has noticed that a smaller line, or less potent product will have a sorta "half a high" feeling to it, as opposed to a moster rail or some fire ass yeyo.

I babble.

smaller dose = smaller effects

If the Peruvian mans line is about .1g at home, his European line would have to be something like .15, and even then, depending on what its been cut with who knows what kinda buzz he could get.

SWIM always prefered manatol
