When I first started using darknet markets, I only ordered pills (speed pills, mainly) because for some reason I figured that if I got caught it wouldn't be as bad as say, ordering powder or any other distinguishable drug product. Turns out, ordering pills (unless they're not available in their pure form i.e. xanax) has two main drawbacks:
- Harder to stealth.
- Easier to receive fake product.
In the case of (1), pills are just plain bulky. The only time I've gotten orders detained at customs were when they were pills. Powders, LSD, pastes, etc. are usually sent in regular mail and while more "risky" when it comes to legal trouble, there is a lesser chance of getting caught with them.
In the case of (2). I guess I have no real backing, other than that while I've received plenty of fake pills, I've never received fake pure product. Also, it is much easier to run NMR/IR on pure product. With pills, they're filled with binders and other ingredients that make it hard to analyze unless you isolate the purified product.
Lastly, there seems to be a placebo type of deal with it comes to pills. I don't know why. I almost want to say that it's because "seasoned" drug users are experienced and leave unbiased reviews on products, and they don't tend to buy pills (I mean, why would they?). Less experienced drug users might find comfort in purchasing pre-dosed, dressed-up pills. And if they experience that placebo affect, how would they really know? So you get these mixed reviews on the products.
When I say "pills" I really do just mean things like MDMA, speed, etc. where there is a pure product you can also buy and not pharmaceuticals like Prozac, Zoloft, etc.
Can you recommend a vendor for speed powder, preferably domestic USA?
