So I remember getting MXE a few years back and it was phenomenal. But then I heard that there was a ban in China and that the worldwide supply had completely run dry.
This confused the hell out of me. The entire basis of this sub is gaining access to banned or illegal substances, so how did the law effectively stop the production of this one chemical?
A few months ago, I had heard something to the effect that MXE was still being synthed and the ban had not completely halted mass production.
Does anybody remember who the last couple of MXE vendors were and what the hell happened to them? After the others started dropping, there must've been a point where there was only one standing. I legitimately cannot imagine being the ONLY vendor for a dissociative that everybody loves, and then deciding to exit scam. That couldn't have happened. So it was probably LE right? Even if the heat is coming on, the last vendor who would've been around would've had a LITERAL monopoly!
Last, does anybody know what the hell recently changed that's bringing back all of the MXE hype again?
I'm not complaining, but I really don't get how this drought happened for so long, only to end with seemingly no notice.
The only labs synthesizing it in China were grey market ones. They would produce anything not illegal in China (and a few things that were only "soft illegal", ie stuff that was never used in China and only illegal because of the UN). The illegal labs in China were (and still are) focused on producing meth and ketamine for internal consumption in China and export. When the Chinese government made MXE illegal the grey market labs dropped it. They aren't making an effort to hide so the government knows where they are located, plus they can just go to the scientific papers and find a new drug to synth.
Nobody in the West has contact with the illegal labs in China as they stay very underground since China has been on a drug crackdown for a while, lots of executions going on. Plus unless you are willing to order a shitload of it they would be unlikely to bother making it for you as its more of a hassle when they can just make something reliable like ketamine with the same precursors.
For the current production I can only assume someone managed to throw enough money a a grey lab for them to risk a run of it, or somebody in India or Pakistan who was previously making ketamine got handed a new recipe and a bunch of money.
