Title: Do you take the drug you received before writing a review?
Post by: strangelights on May 25, 2013, 02:14 am
When you receive your drug from a vendor, do you actually try it before writing a review?  It seems like you'd want to make sure it's good first, but it's not always convenient to take a drug whenever happens to arrive, especially something long-lasting like acid.

You can do the review in stages.  When you first get it, finalize and make your comments about shipping, stealth, and communications.  Later, when you try the product, go back and edit the review to add in more info.

Perectly said from the person above.  And make sure you finalize your purchase after gettting it.

Haha, awesome!  Psychedelics are my favorite and I kind of hate looking at a computer screen while I'm on them, but whatever works for you!  Sounds like your night is more fun than mine.

Actually strangelights, you're dead right. Wasn't psychedelics per se but MD*. I'd dread the thought of a computer screen on anything else :)

If you can (hard with acid) its in your best interest to sample first before finalizing because I got sold some Bunk Crack that was completely fake and totally unusable, Im soooo glad I tried it before finalizing that order!!!

I finalise soon after I receive it. So it kind of depends what it is, or whether it's the weekend :).

I feel like the review section is more for a quick "Yeah I recieved it, they're not gonna rip you off" review while the forum is more for extended discussion about shipping, product, etc etc. Although I didn't realise that you could edit your review, so perhaps I've been doing it wrong.

auto11858418, I think between the stats and the forums, there's plenty of information to make fairly well informed decisions. If a guy has 300 transactions with 99% feedback shipping worldwide, AND the forum posts are all quite positive, you can be fairly sure, dependent on your on LE of course, that you've got a trusted guy. So far, that's been my experience. Not one let-down. Perhaps I'm lucky, but a bit of research does go a long way.

I usually comment before trying for weed since it's probably almost impossible to make "fake" weed that looks and smells real.  Other drugs especially any powder or crystal based things should certainly be rated and commented after trying.

Exactly, it helps so much for vendors to have both positive stats and a forum presence. Unfortunately, some vendors don't have that forum presence or reviews, yet have really positive stats. It's a bit of a risk ordering from them, but I've been pretty lucky so far to not have any of my money scammed.

True, it also depends on the drug.  I feel like for small amounts of weed you're not going to run into too many scammers, it's not worth it.  However more heavier drugs like heroin or oxies it seems like the client base might be more easily duped into scams.  I've bought weed and mushrooms and have never had a problem.  I still think you should try the drugs before reviewing, that's the whole point and it allows future buyers to know that what they are buying is legit.

I'm gonna agree with excellenttoast. You should wait until you take it to review it, even if you just need to send a message to the vendor to say "I'm waiting until I take it to review it".

But in the end, something is better than nothing so if you review it in full on the forums I think that's fine. People should know to rely on both stats and forum reviews.

I write a review about my experience so far.  I can always update with the quality after I take it.
