HoS Berkeley Silver Inferior Crystal to BV High White

Does anyone else think/want to claim that House of Spirit's main ware "Berkeley Silver" crystal is inferior/subpar in quality to Blue Viking's "High White" crystal? This already makes me think of the whole, how could they be any different in quality if LSD is LSD and impurities do not affect the experience, yet I still hear countless people claim that the Berkeley Silver is inferior to the High White, and if BV's crystal is indeed better, in what way is it since impurities do not affect the LSD experience? Seems stupid to buy BV's crystal if there's no quality difference and HoS's is cheaper.

EDIT: House just updated her page, go read it and laugh your ass off. Such a worthless, pathetic vendor. She talks about crying because the hippies broke items in her ass. It's hilarious how she is used. It's all exaggeration and theatrics for her inabilities as a vendor.

Upvoting to hear others' experiences/thoughts. Also, is she really not up yet?

You guys seriously need to chill. Instead of bashing a vendors name because they don't live to serve you, try bashing the names of vendors who are genuinely scamming you with nbome and overrated UG doses.

(S)he's a fine human being, if you don't like her methods don't fucking purchase from her. I on the other hand love this vendor to death and I actually purchase enough every time I order(wow what a concept) so I don't end up in your disgusting state of mind. Vendors do not live to serve you.

edit: I'm only referencing your edit and some of the comments here, I couldn't give a fuck what you think about the LSD is LSD argument, everything is conjecture until a scientist actually backs up a theory with evidence.

I retract my math in my first comment this apparently is pretty complicated and by no means able to be completley answered. Quick reading I would add these two passages for the discussion:

An LSD experience is a complex interaction of five influential factors: set, setting, guide (fellow tripper), purity, and dosage level.

Set refers to the psychological makeup of the LSD tripper, both long term (genetic inheritance and childhood conditioning) and short term (expectations about the LSD experience and how the person feels that morning).

Setting refers to the environment of the trip - indoors or outdoors, "informal suburban house," "formal hospital room," or "windy beach at sunrise."

Set, setting and guide form the fabric of the trip. But before these influences can come into play, alteration in consciousness must occur. Thus, the nature of the biochemical used, its purity and its dosage level are most central in determining the course the session will take.

And

However, as Albert Hofmann puts it in "Drugs Affecting the Central Nervous System": LSD has the highest and most specific effect and may therefore be considered as the genuine prototype of psychotomimetic compounds."

Thus, all impurities found in LSD are like imperfect keys. Such substances as ergot alkaloids, cycloalkamides and other lysergic acid derivatives, and LSD homologues and lumi-LSD are drugs that might open the door part way. But only pure LSD opens the doors of perception all the way.

LSD is LSD, and Berkeley Silver is still a high quality crystal.

yet I still hear countless people claim that the Berkeley Silver is inferior to the High White,

Who? Be aware there is FUD around here as well. One guy saying it 20 times is not 20 times, and I'm not sure I've even seen what you've said.

I've done GDF and her berkeley silver, really not much of a difference. There was one, but I wouldn't even say the GDF was better, just onset was different, and that may even be entirely placeo.

The silver is 85-90 pure and the high white is upwards of 95%. Only chrystal above that is needlepoint. I would guess bv's high white is on par with HoS' white fluff.

Finally got my coins into Agora and today was the day since she works MWF but nope. Damn hippies!

Edit: Also still not up as of 1:45pm CST

Dosage has a lot more to do with the effects than purity... People that talk this or that are usually full of shit.


[1 Points] CuntyMcGiggles:

I've had both on several occasions and I know that my experience is just my own. There could be so many factors impacting a trip. But in my mind, they're on par. I guess if I have to find a difference I'd say there was a bit less neck tension with BV's. Also, the visuals seemed a bit different. More colors and fragmented reality with BV. More fractals and tracers with HoS. Very curious on other opinions as well

I have not got to try BV's white yet, although I'm sitting on a few tabs of it. I've got to try it so I can answer this myself. I don't know if either vendors are actually selling what they're advertising, but silver is less pure than white. Personally from trying "white on white" or "fluff" in the past from solid IRL connections, I preferred that over HoS berkeley silver. The comeup was smoother, the trip lasted much longer, and it was generally stronger than the 150 ug silvers. The visuals were different, and generated differently... with HoS the OEV/CEV were a lot of fractalization and color shifting that blended together, with the fluff i had fractals, more morphing, and the OEV/CEV visuals were separate. The fluff also felt more wholesome. HoS silver was much more clearheaded, sober feeling, -and less euphoric and warm. I thought the silver was decent, but the trip was a lot different than fluff. The best way I can sum it up is that it felt less wholesome than I've ever experienced on acid. Ever since then I've been on a quest to source the legendary sheet that hasn't floated back around yet... might have to wait for festi season ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Never had BV, but just got rid of the last of her 125+ ug berkely silver. Took a dose with my girl a few nights ago. It completely blew her mind and she said it was the strongest shes ever had and shes probably tripped around 15 20 times. But shes always had it from festi dealers so who knows what she got. My friend whos done 25i, shrooms and DMT but not LSD said that it was decent.

I myself thought it was okay, could have been much better. Ive spent a good time tripping on LSD a few years ago and while I never knew what I was getting always, I could tell when I got different shit. Some LSD is a complete hallucinate trip with no neck tension and makes your brain make connections in way it never happens before. This LSD was decent hallucinations, you had to focus and close your eyes. All I saw at my peak was fractal images and colorful lines really. However, the biggest problem for me was the neck tension. This is the worst thing for me in a trip. There's always going to be some neck tension, but hers came on strong with the trip. Just as hard as you would be tripping, you would feel the tension as well.

But who knows, it could have just been me. My girlfriend also said however the next day that she felt VERY emotionally vacant. I didn't get this feeling, but she was like a zombie for the next two days and was very depressed and I dont understand why. She said she had a GREAT trip, but it just drained everything out of her.

She clearly states the breakdown of how she doses her tabs in her profile to account for impurities in her procured Berkely Silver. She also has (or had) other "strains" of lsd of greater puritys. I luckily snagged a sheet of her indian rose Xtal and she hasnt had it up since.

Do you mean House White? A lot have people have been complaining about BV's House White tabs.


[1 Points] NIGGALISHUS:

I can attest to this statement

Berkeley silver is some of the most underwhelming L I have tried. And the weakest (at least th 100ug,) tabs I have gotten from the DNM. Me thinks that most people just try them first because they are cheap and HoS got a good rep back when she sold better xtal. So most people have nothing to compare it to.


[1 Points] Geefus:

House is obviously in the middle of a nervous breakdown and was never all that professional to begin with. I wouldn't touch that kind of vendor with a ten-foot pole until they'd lost most of their customer base and were trying to earn their way back into the community's good graces six months later.

They got too big too fast, and now they're in too deep. Gotta give them time to backpedal until they have their operation under some semblance of control again.
