Hey guys!
A quick question for those who have had the pleasure of trying and comparing both. In all my 7 years of chipping h I've only had access to black tar due to geographical location, however since some have been having success with getting powder vi SR I think I might give it a shot finally.
So my question for those who have tried both is how does the potency compare between the two? I know it will vary greatly between cuts etc but say on a per point basis would you say that one is definitely better than the other?
I've certainly heard that tar is the trash of H so I would be very excited to see just how much more enjoyable it can get.
Thanks guys! :)

I have been chipping on both.
Where I come from we call it brown and white.
I smoke the brown and insuflate the white, and I like both.
Brown is not thrash heroin and speed is not thrash coke - some LE propaganda moron invented those terms.
White is suitable for shooting, while brown is not, and shooting is pretty good - i have heard, but I know nothing about it, have never tried it.
If you are not IV'ing, you are not really missing something.
On the other hand, I have insuflated some pretty good white stuff, expensive also...
I would try it, if I were you, but I wouldn't chase it...
Hope that helps...

Welcome to SR! First off, a recommendation of a great 'normal' website for any matters opiate/H related is opiophile.org...it will bounce you to forums.opiophile.org, if I remember right. Great site, good, understanding people, and they know everything about all this.
My own take is always going to be pro-powder. It's just real H to me, no comparison. *Especially* if you are injecting. I've seen twice now, the ravages of this sort of skin eating crap that can hit you if you *miss* tar...these guys had their arms bandaged all the time, and it was gross/gruesome to see what it had done...
The other, I've only heard about, but way too many credible stories of amputatons due to tar...and most of us have found out the hard way that it all too quckly destroys veins; they're gone, never come back.
That's the negative, and it's just one opinion. I've had powder heroin in vietnam and in thailand, and it was pure, no cooking, perfect high.
Trouble is, in US, in past 20 years or so, the mexican cartels have just driven out the old powder sellers, and you are stuck with tar. Many, who've been around a while, just will not 'fix' it...plugging is what works best, but it's just too nasty to describe...again, go to opiophile for details ;)
Quality is where there is plenty of room for argument: I've had really good, strong tar, and really cut-to-shit powder. But any port in a storm. And I remember when tar first hit up in chicago area, and some of my buds preferred it to powder, said it was stronger.
I'm a powder guy, in most areas, it wins, hands down. Colombians do make good powder, and I can't for the life of me understand why the cartels don't just get a colombian chemist to show them how to make it.
But, just opinion...

Yeah, I only IV tar about 15% of the time or less just because it is so horrible for your veins. Unfortunately that does also mean not getting as good of a high.
That seems to be about what I expected. Thanks for the info and the welcome, I'll for sure be checking out opiophile.
