Pressed items - zebra1922 - 02-09-2018
I've just seen reference to "pressed' Xans on another thread. What does this mean? Any difference to normal production methods which might impact quality or does it not matter?

One of the biggest fakes out there right now are 2mg Xanax Bars ( No specific type) that people are making and pressing them out on their own.
It's got to the point where I won't purchase any barz but found a great 1 mg source, about half price and if you take 2 of the 1mg tablets I get good or better than any bar at half the price
Peace

Due to the extreme popularity of xanax, almost all of the 2mg bars available on the streets are made by people who buy bulk alp powder and press it themselves. As opposed to tablets manufactured by pharmaceutical companies that are diverted to the black market. These home-pressed pills can theoretically be just as high-quality as pharmaceutical products, but most of them are probably not. Manufacturing accurate tablets is very difficult; there are entire scientific journals dedicated to the art of mixing and making tablets.
Not only that, but home-pressed bars can be tainted with other chemicals, most notably fentanyl.

pressed= bathtub made, yes a lot of fakes ,recently seen reddish bars and no way id really touch em,id say its prob easy to mix em and pour into press but then again you can get massive variance in dosage, plus id say whoever does em uses smth to cut,so far no stories of fent being used but plenty of other harmfull crap.
stick to what works and 1mgs usually work out same if not cheaper long term.since way to easy to go down the rabbit hole when you pop 2mgs straight like its nothing.
since look it this way u want smth to ease of anxiety and 2mgs is pushing it past that, theres better alternatives for recreation with minimal side effects.

As everyone has said already, "pressed" pills are in essence pills made by a usually clandestine third party. The most dangerous part about pressed pills is that they often are sold as something that they really aren't. For example, a fair amount of pressed x@n@x that pill purchase online or on the streets illegally actually contains dosages of fentanyl or something else. This happened with qu@@ludes before and it happens with many other pills but x@n@x is by far the biggest one, because of its popularity in culture. They are usually easy to identify if you are familiar with the pharma pill but sometimes the dye or press (the machine that they use to literally press a concoction of measured powder into a pill shape) is extraordinarily good. If you come across pills that obviously weren't produced in a pharmacy best to toss them in the trash unless you are willing to test them, even then be super careful.

Even at my heaviest X@an@x usage the only brands I used were Tafil (Pfizer 2mg bars with a different trade name), Xanor (Pfizer 2mg bars with a different trade name), or Ksalol. I never had the opportunity to try Gadors, Bagos, or Denvers - Just never came across a vendor who carried them.
"Pressed" 2mg bars are endemic - There is a LOT of money to be made on them, but as others have said, who knows what's in them? And the presses only keep getting better...I've seen a real and a fake Tafil side by side, and could not tell the difference.
That's the point where I (sadly) decided to give up 2mg bars, and use only 1mg "footballs" from a reliable vendor, or Ksalol.
I'm off X@nax altogether now, and on 20mg di@zepam daily (10mg at 6AM and 10mg at 6PM) - Not my choice, but my Doctor cut me off of 3mg/day Xan@x cold turkey last September, and I had a seizure that broke my nose, several ribs, and my wrist...I fell face first onto the asphalt of our street while installing a new mailbox. I tried as many Doctors as I could to start a di@zepam taper, but none of them were willing to do so...So I took matters into my own hands and after some searching around, found this site (thank God - After seeing some of the others I couldn't believe the infighting, lying, and outright stealing), and a vendor who provides solid 10mg di@zepam.
I can't with a straight face type "Don't use X@nax, use a longer lasting benz@!" - Too many people need the rapid relief from anxiety that X@nax provides, and it does take a while for di@zepam to saturate your system to the point it is a useful med. Besides, I'm not the boss of you ;-)
But do be careful. The presses outnumber the pharma grade original by an order of magnitude...Make sure your X@nax is real. The consequences, if it is not, can be dire.

I'm sorry to hear that oldboy. That is horribly irresponsible of your doctor. How has your recovery been so far? Doing ok?

Thanks greaseman - Doing just fine, even landed a new job. The only thing I should have to worry about in the future is more seizures...And my di@z stock is probably rather too much (I purchased far too many in panic), am stocking up on clonaz and bromaz as well. If I DO have another seizure, it won't be from withdrawals ;-)
Thanks for asking, my friend.

Of course. Glad to hear it.
RE: Pressed items - Rafterman - 02-11-2018
Great information to be had on this thread so far. I used to work as a counselor at a federal government installation for a number of years. Inside the installation was a huge US Customs unit. I got to know the workers there fairly well and when I had down time would wander over to the unit. What an education I got there. They used to seize the actual machinery used for pressing counterfeit pills and knew all the ins and outs about the production of them. I can remember one of them telling me about how certain benzo's were known to be more bitter than others and how the counterfeiters would use less talc and more of a bitter substance that they added to give the appearance of authenticity. Most of the units that they seized were purchased through the Internet. The units could put out an incredibly high volume of very high quality tabs. Occasionally, you would get a tab that wasn't scored dead center, so you still needed some "quality control" at the point of production. And, oh yes, barz were the number 1 most counterfeited, even back then. These guys also confiscated legit meds, of course, and had hampers full of real barz and just about any med with recreational value that you can name. Where did it all end up? Some was kept as evidence if they were planning to pursue criminal action of whomever, and the rest were incinerated! What a waste. RM
