Tordaily: First of all, thank you for speaking with me!
LsdMushroomtea: You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself!
A: I’m just a guy who’s into testing and reviewing substances for harm reduction. I started sharing my experiences because I enjoy it, and I’m lucky enough to be in a position where I can get substances lab tested. Not a lot of people are doing that, and having those test results out there really helps the community.
Q: When did you start doing reviews?
A: I started doing reviews around February last year.
Q: Do you test your drugs? If so, how?
A:Yes, I do. I send any new substance I plan on ingesting in for testing. I’m lucky to live in Canada where we have lots of options for drug testing, and most of them are free. They usually let you mail in samples or drop them off in person. Some of the most well known services are GYDT and SubstanceUvic. I’ve used both; each of them does amazing, life saving work. Personally, I prefer sending my samples to SubstanceUvic because they have GC/MS as well as FTIR testing, whereas GYDT only has FTIR.
Q: Is there any drug you really want to try?
A:Yes, there are a lot of drugs I really want to try. A little while ago I made a bucket list of all the different drugs I haven’t tried yet but really want to try, . It’s not in any particular order, and there are probably a few I forgot and a bunch I don’t even know about yet. Some of them I already have in my collection, but I’ve just been too busy to try them out. Most, though, are rare and hard to find. Anyway, here’s the list if you’re curious:
PCP
Methaqualone
MXE
DXE
2-FDCK
2-FXiPr
MXPCP
3-ho-pce
3-meo-pcp

Q: Has doing LSD changed how you perceive things? If so, please share!
Slightly, yeah. I wouldn’t say it’s changed how I see the world in any major or permanent way, but it definitely gives me a more positive outlook. The afterglow is always nice, it keeps me in a good mood for a couple of weeks after a trip, kind of like an antidepressant effect. I don’t do it that often, maybe 2 to 4 times a year, spread out, which isn’t enough. I’d probably do it more if I wasn’t so busy. Every time I take it, I catch myself thinking, “Man, this is really nice, I should do this more often.”
Q: I notice one of your recent and more notable test results for u/friedchicken999’s Alprazolam powder has had some updates. Can you explain what happened and what the results were? Would you trust this seller enough to buy again?
I went over this in my review but basically a new vendor u/friedchicken999 was claiming to have alprazolam powder and offering samples. I took them up on their offer knowing it was extremely unlikely that it was real alprazolam, as alprazolam powder hasn’t been available on the market in years. I figured it was probably ethylbromazolam or something and was curious to get it tested and see what the results would be. I got it tested and my first results were incorrect because the testing service hadn’t really encountered ethylbromazolam before and it got misidentified as something else that looks similar chemically. Also they had the sample I submitted labeled as a pill in the analytical notes, which confused me because the sample I had sent in was powder, not a pill. So I sent another sample of the powder in for testing and this time the results came back as ethylbromazolam. Since there was such a big discrepancy between the two different results I received from the same powder, I emailed the testing service asking for clarification and they explained that they noticed the discrepancy and noted an error in their instrument method. So just to be 100% certain I sent a third sample of the powder in for testing and it came back as ethylbromazolam. Right away when I received the results saying it wasn’t alprazolam I brought it up with friedchicken. They told me that they are just the salesperson and were basically told it was the exact same thing as alprazolam. It took me a bit but I explained to them that it is not the same thing at all, and eventually they understood and said they won’t be false advertising it as alprazolam anymore. At the end of the day I ended up with a free gram of a chemical I had been interested in for a little while now, I was very pleased. Yes, I would trust this seller enough to buy again. Their stealth is unrivaled.
Q: How do you find the current state of the darknet ecosystem?
From what I’ve seen, the darknet ecosystem doesn’t seem all that different than it was a few years back. I haven’t been around that long, but it feels like the same cycle just keeps repeating big markets and vendors get taken down by LE, and new ones pop up to fill their spot the whole thing bounces back fast.
Q: Is there anything you’d like to say before we finish?
Just a reminder to everyone to test your substances if you can. Stay safe, do your research, and always start low an go slow with your dosing.
