Title: What's the point of buying "fishscale" cocaine?
Post by: Rusty Blade on August 30, 2013, 07:03 am
Maybe I'm missing something but I have yet to be convinced that "fishscale" cocaine is any better than regular cocaine.  My own experience on SR seems to suggest that all "fishscale" means is heavily cut coke soaked in some type of nasty flammable shit (e.g., diesel, butane, kerosene, sweet crude, whatever) to make it look all pretty and rainbowy so you *think* it's better than it actually is.  The best coke I've had on SR so far (and probably ever, although I do remember the stuff I got in Texas back in the late 1980s was pretty awesome) included no mention of the word "fishscale" and instead of being soaked in turpentine it just smelled like cocaine (imagine that!) and arrived all white and fluffy, the way I remember it all those years ago.  1 gram of that fluffy white coke lasted as long and got me as high or higher than an 8 ball of any of the "fishscale" coke I've tried here.

Then again, what the fuck do I know?  If I am missing something I welcome the opportunity to be educated.  Feel free to set me straight.  Whatever you do, just remember ...

Be Somebody ... or be Somebody's Fool!

Peace out, much love to all y'all, etc., etc.

The term fishscale is just the fashionable term for that good , pure-ish C with that shiny , flakey look to it. It's marketing and everyone uses the word to market a product. Back in the day we called it shale.  It's got nothing to do with soaking anything in chemicals or cutting the shit out of anything.  Some of the best C I've done has been powdered and wasn't really sparkly, and some was exactly like that.

88fxstc - Thanks for the shale reference.  That puts it in a bit more perspective.  So the term "fishscale" does actually mean something but to the extent that its used in nearly all coke listings on SR regardless of actual product quality renders it effectively moot for those of us shopping for decent coke.

yea, fishscale USED to mean the best uncut coke. anytime in the past (10+ years ago) whenever the "best" coke would come up in topic, it was always "fishscale" or "Peruvian flake"
im with rustly blade on this, now that it has become a marketing tool, im assuming there must be some way to cut the fuck out of it, and still make it look fishscale.

Exactly my friend, that term is SO overused that it's lost it's meaning. It's all fishscale now it seems. There is still some very high quality C available on the Road though .
