Interesting. I haven't done heroin since the late 90s before the big drought kicked in and all we got was #4 china in those days. Never ever saw anything else, and certainly not brown shit. Reading about covid this morning and the issues the cartels are having in the US, just wondering if the supply chain to Aust has been affected?
When I've seen brownish heroin, and I've seen it probably only a bit less frequently than completely white heroin, its looked and behaved and felt very much like the white heroin, other than the slightly different color.
It still dissolved rapidly without heat or acid like the white heroin in Australia. So it's still #4.
It did have a bit of a different taste though. By which I mean it had a taste at all. White heroin I've generally found had no taste, the brown heroin I've had usually had a very mild not unpleasant yet indescribable taste to it when injected.
And when I say brownish, I don't mean brown like some brown heroins I've seen in other countries. It's only very mildly brown, a light eggshell kinda color probably best describes it. Similar to beige but probably a little darker. But it seemed to vary a bit.
I have no idea what the reason is for the difference or what it means. All I know is most dealers sold white heroin, generally solid rocks, and I had one that sold brownish eggshell, also compressed to rock.
