    I bought China White from Silk Road when the dark web first came out, as did all my friends. We all treated it like normal heroin and all instantly blacked out or overdosed. I remember at that time one Bitcoin was £14. They’re worth about £30k or whatever now. I’m still hoping i’ve got a couple of Bitcoin in a lost digital wallet somewhere!

    My first time trying china white was in magaluf in majorca of all places, me and 2 mates went there for a holiday in the late ninties, funny thing was we bought one way tickets with no extra cash maybe a tenner or so lol, we didnt even know we had a habit as only been smoking for a couple months, any way we started rattling big time like wtf is going on here, cut a long srtory short like little cvnts we were at the time we started robbing money of the beach when people went in for a swim and ended up meeting some locals from Palma (majorcas capital) that were doing the same thing and realising they were on the gear we made friends and they took us through to Palma to score, i had no idea it was even gear it was pure white but i remember putting it on the foil and like you said it didnt run it just frazzled up in wee spots, but holy shit did it make us feal better lol.....just subbed btw

Happened once when I was taking few lads to funeral and going from church to crem one said to me 'Ha! Hear you whimpering like a bitch in there haha' 'scrreeeetch' I slammed on stepped out the car and said that, if you think I'm less of a man put me down an all the lads saw he didn't wanna and were saying 'cmon lad, he was only messing'. That's happened 3 times that, I'm just not good at funerals. On opioids ya don't cry when you should! Lol if it's working like. I hardly crie3d at my Dad's funeral many years ago cos I took something to help and I miss him like mad right now!
      *Oh an about using again hard, that's cos you proper wanna feel outta pain quickly innit mate, I don't think most people smash it first go!
