Thought I'd review this as it's recently been the best i've seen in awhile.  Get it from the same folks as always, but recently it's been giving me that implacable, back in the day, mayonnaise in my nostrils feel.

NICKELODEON ("Do do you have it..GUTS!"/"Double Dare") / WARHORSE

"Been enjoying these little guys for a little while- so I thought I would send a review."

"Picked up in Manhattan- they have been through a few incarnations.  First a couple of Nickelodeon stamps: "Do do do do you have it... GUTS!" and "Double Dare 2000" in white and blue glassines, but mainly plain blue (pictured above).  Powder is very light tan, flaky and pebbly with a few crystals- breaks up fluffy."

"Nice and easy on the schnozz, and a mellow, energizing high with a nice nod after settling down when work is done.  Hangs around for a while and lets me back down easy.  Bags are kind of light but the price is definitely right.  These are my favorite go-to at the moment."

 **Big thanks to reader "S" for submitting a RED warhorse! --Jynxie 1/17/13

"Also picked up some white bags in Brooklyn with a green stamp of a horse labeled "WAR HORSE".  Powder light tan and a tad grainy."

"Pretty pricey with fair-sized bags but still a little light.  First one I tried made me sick (headache, nauseated)  so I shelved them, but hauled them out later without the same effect.  Burn like heck when snorted. Fairly sedating.

Whatever these are cut with is a little caustic and unpleasant.  

Overall these didn't treat me all that well--but may be the cat's pajamas for someone else--who knows?"

Sept. Rundown v/a (So.NJ)-->THUNDER CLOUDS/MISFITS/VERSACE/WHITE LIGHTENING

"Hi there Jynxie, my dear. How has life been treating you? All the best in all ways, sweetie....  Well, guess what? I got some reviews for ya. Yeehaw!  lol These are from various places, and I haven't been feeling too well lately, so none of these were put on the skizzle."   :(-----SoJSg

----------------------------------------------------------------

First up, we have a Camden, NJ stamp that is pictorial in nature. Let the user name it/call it what he/she will. I called it "ThunderClouds", for good reason. Phat bags, well over 50mg.'s. Off white, stings the nose with potency, and not quite 3 tickets got me a heavy nod, with variations of super energy, which I find utterly fascinating. Hard to find, much sought after, and simply superb gear! Definitely quality material.

R: n/a

C: 7+

Q: 8+

---------------------------------------------------------------

Next up, from Lakewood, NJ, we have a REALLY PROMISING "LOOKING" stamp named "MISFITS". Loved the stamp!! Just figured it was geared for the crowd it attracted. Well, well, well...... Price was $80 a bun. Count was almost non-existent. (about 10, to maybeeee 20 mg.'s each ticket) Quality SUCKED.

Not a buzz in a bun. (for a sniffer) :(      

AVOID. Such an insult to such a wonderful stamp.

R: n/a

C: 2

Q: 1

----------------------------------------------------------------

Lets move south a wee bit, to Atlantic City, NJ, and a stamp named "VERSACE". Finally some quality to be had. Average size (30-45mg.'s?) [Not to be a jerk, but I am well practiced with the plate to make an accurate ballpark guess as to weight], GOOD potency, nothing fantabulous here. Standard 4 to 5 bag energy-nod. $80 a bun, with NO plays. (free tix)

R: n/a

C: 6

Q: 6

---------------------------------------------------------------

Another batch found in the wilds of AC, NJ, was named "WHITE LIGHTNING".

Pricey, at $90 a bun, the count was surprisingly impressive, considering recent disappointing forays. No 'Plays' to be had for the expenditure, so this is like Saks 5th Ave prices. Puhleeeeze. Anyway, quality is real NICE! Tix weigh approx 50 to 60 mg.'s each, maybe a little more. Just dont feel like whippin out and settin up the micro-gm skizzle. :/  I was feeling 2 of these, but wasn't cleared to get in a third at the the time, so gotta follow up, but really nice light brown fluffy powder, and a good energy surge, less the nod for now. Nice gear!

Summer 2013 (Best of Delaware..) v/a HIGH VOLTAGE/SPRING FEVER/NOD OUT/YOUTUBE

 

HIGH VOLTAGE-(blue bag-blue ink-lightning bolt symbol)- very good
SPRING FEVER-(white bag-Purple ink sunshine symbol)- very good
NOD OUT- (blue writing-white bag-knife symbol)-very good
YOUTUBE- (blue bag red writing no symbol)-average

"These were the "Best of the Summer" from specific connect I found close to home. (I'm) not able to contact any longer so eventually started going to different city where it's easier to cop. Thanks for reading, I'm happy to submit for reviews and art :-)"

"I got three bags of this stuff and its safe to say its not a "home run" and honestly really sucks and is not worth any money. Even for someone with like noo tolerance I'm just not widdit!"

--reader submission from Williamsburg, BK (thanks RMK)

*submitter also included this review but did not have a pic:
 "Something I tried a few separate times that's also going around Williamsburg called "SMACK DOWN" . And this stuff isn't the best but pretty damn good. The rush is real nice and I didn't notice much of a huge nod each time but that's okay.  It dissolves pretty easy like it should and overall it's pretty alright with me. Bags are also pretty average quantity. Unlike the 'home run' which was pretty skimpy as well. Overall I rate it an 8 or 9. Not a 10 simply because I've done better. That's all. :)"

STINGRAY (Paterson, NJ)

"This is one of the other best stamps around Paterson and has had many different names. Originally it was purple "boom". Then it was this purple "Stingray". Most recently a purple stamp called "GOYA" . All the same dope and all very good. Fat bags and good quality white d. Possibly better than bugatti? I go back and forth on which is better. Both very high quality and never a let down so don't hold back if you see this--you may even do 80% your regular dose and feel just as good."

OZONE (Lakewood, NJ)

"Here is a ticket called "OZONE" (2 pics enclosed)

These showed on the plate (scale) that they averaged 35-45 mg.'s each. Already off to a bad start....

These are from Lakewood, NJ and were a fair count for the brick, but the price was ridiculous, and the quality was absolutely utterly poor. Not one moment of enjoyment to be had, unless tolerance is beginning to rear it's ugly face.

Darker brown, bitter flaky and chunky pseudo-powder, tastes like the real thing, but didn't NOT even get the slightest buzz. I wonder if these were well prepared 'dummies'. I just don't know.... Avoid. Totally. "

VENOM (2)

"***[NOTE: below is direct eevidence of a nod while typing (lol)]***"

"Extra-nice packaging really jumps out at you. the "venom" label (including aagw...................................................s .....................................                          

somewhat lobstery-looking scorpion) isn't even a stamp, it's a roll of thin tape with the same picture on it over and over. it doubles as an insignia and a seal. very classy boys, i was starting to lose faith in your professionalism when i picked up "taxi" the other day. 

Anyway, pretty fat count though not totally uniform from bag to bag. seven or eight I'd say -- call it eight to be charitable. If you put it in your nose it's got a stingy/sweet taste that kind of reminds you of fruity pebbles. 

Definitely a jolt of mellow, maybe cut with benzos? either way, pretty nice, but with no iv cant really say for rush.

Too early to give an informed opinion on the legs, but i like where it's going at the moment -- seven's about right. in sum: some mighty fine dope, and the $80 tag makes it that much sweeter ~~ <((\o_0/))^"

August v/a Rundown (Camden, NJ): I-Dope/Bring A Friend/No Parking/USDA

"The following stamps are all from Camden, NJ and ALL of them are Philly-style Double-Seals, with the small square bags in an outer mini-ziploc bag. Good for keeping greedy hands from screwing with the cookie-jar. ;)

All stamps were weighed, net and gross, on a micro-gm scale, just for the hell of it! 

(And, to see how badly we are being ripped off....)"

"First up is a stamp named 'I-DOPE'. (2 pics)

Count is so-so, around 40-50 mg.'s each. A LONG way off from the "Industry Standard" of 1 point each. (A "point" is .1/g or 100mg.'s)

Quality was decent. Nice, grayish white soft powder. Acceptable potency. Nice nod after hoovering 3 of these rascals. "

R: n/a

C: 5

Q: 7

----------------------------------- 

"Next up is a stamp called 'BRING A FRIEND'. 

Nice count (all things considered), around a half-point each (50mg.'s +/-) GREAT potency, and LONG-LASTING feel-good high and nod! Quite energetic, too, if I do say so myself. My favorite of this assortment."

R: n/a

C: 7

Q: 8

-------------------------------------

"Next up we have one I have encountered a few times called 'NO PARKING'. 

Count was very depressing for $10 per bag. Lucky if each bag had 25 to 35 mg.'s. Folks, this is UNACCEPTABLE!! That is a pathetic 1/3 of a POINT!! I mean, WTF?!?! Such GREED in Camden as of late, as well as numerous other unspeakable dramas....good grief!

Quality was GOOD, but not near that of BRING A FRIEND."

R: n/a

C: 3

Q: 6

--------------------------------------

"Finally, we have a rather unique Camden stamp. 'USDA' and Logo in red ink on a small white square bag.

These were the largest of the four, containing on average nearly 60-80 mg.'s each. Now, THATS more like it! 

This was some really nice, fluffy off-white powder, that hoovered very deliciously. A very gentle, and clean high, with an air of energy to it.

I really enjoyed these."

CANADA DRY/973 (Newark, NJ)

"Both of these are from Downtown Newark. Lately all the gear down there has been pretty trash but these two were a good change.

The count in each was awesome, though its hard to tell from these pics because I knocked it all to the bottom"

VENOM

Hey Junkies, your favorite girl E.V.E. here....

Presenting Venom, from the Williamsburg, Brooklyn area. I have to admit, I was really giddy when I saw this stamp, as a scorpion is the symbol of my astrological sign. Pretty good dope, not as good as Hellboy© (which is widely considered the best stamp Brooklyn currently has to offer) but a good alternative.

TAXI

Hello junkie delinquents, your girl EVE here...

I present TAXI, from the same crew who does Hellboy. Your average Brooklyn dope - you get a good nod going on & a pleasant rush, with a decent count. Basically, if it was a woman, it would be your girl-next-door; pretty enough to a turn a head or two, but not pretty enough to stop traffic.

UPDATE - I must have been high when I originally wrote this. This stuff sucks. Takes way too much to just get right, let alone high. UGH.

Unrelated, feel free to send posts, craziness, or whatever my way at eveandthesnake@gmail.com. Have at me!

CLEANUP

Hey Jynxie, your girl in the hustle, EVE here. 
CLEAN UP (Immediately thinking of the Barney song is a pretty good litmus test for if you're a child of the 90's) from Brooklyn, delivery again, no specific area (considering open air is pretty much dead & delivery rules, why do people bother with specific areas?) 
Finally, some decent stuff! Really good rush, good legs, my only complaint would be that it might be a bit too "sleepy" but sometimes it's hard to tell if it is the junk or just me, because I am a seriously sleepy bitch, to the point where I'm starting to think if I wasn't so tall I might be the offspring of that snow white dame & her narcoleptic little person lover (because you know she got it on with those seven dudes--but don't google it---It'll just kill your dreams)

"Standard gear here, nothing spectacular. Bklyn style bags. Nice, warm quality, very pleasant, but the count was simply depressing. It makes sense now, that the possibility of these being 'niks' would explain the seeming bargain $. Double up, double down. Peace n light...til next time."

BEAR (Koala/Panda) "Nitro" (Camden, NJ)

"Well, well, well... Down at the market, some of the 'elders' recommended a somewhat obscure little brand, that acts like  a stick of dynamite. It is locally called "NITRO", because of it's potency. The bag has what looks to be a Panda Bear on it. (China White? hint hint)  Also, reminds me a lot of the Grateful Dead bear. It is THE WHITEST H powder I have ever seen. I must say, upon first contact with new gear, I test the waters. Just a line. Wait...and see whats what. So, this time, the bags were looking quite light, so I figured, blow the whole bag to test it! Wow... what the hell happened!?!? About 5 minutes, I guess, I felt this warm, gettting warmer pressure in my head, like it was gonna explode... Then, the warmth was working its way down to even my toes. From snorting. A VERY noticeable lack of bitterness intensity, very CLEAN is my best way to describe this stuff. I got such a serious nod from that ONE little bag... I just did a second (I usually blow 3 of "good gear" to get a little nod) about 4 hours later. My girl asked for a bump before she left, so the bag was 1/3 or so light. This stuff really is ass kickingly STRONG. I had that same heat building in the head, to toes, then a heavy nod. I thought "GAS" was strong!! It was said to be back, and we went to the block where the GAS boys were to grab some. We got sidetracked by this 'hood elder'. He KNEW the deal! Thats the BOMB stuff, but was a tannish powder. When he told of the "NITRO", we were of course skeptical. Very VERY deceiving, with the cute bear, and no type."

"This is certainly one to WATCH OUT for. You WILL go to sleep from too much.  (BE CAREFUL!)"

BADA BING/Bada Been (Camden, NJ)

"This is my first submission/review, so I'll give it a shot... No pun intended! :P  This is whats happenin' here in South Jersey. We're talkin' Camden. Tried to hook up with the regular boys, but there's been a lot of Metro activity, so everyone keeps it moving. No "GAS", the usual BOMB material out here... So, with GAS missing from door #1, we went to door #2, and were able to get what was said to be 'some fire, son', named "BADA BING". Very fat, SSB (small square-bag) Classic Philly style Double-Seals; Very potent. Highest quality since "GAS". This material is grayish-tan ultra-fine powder. No bangin' it here. Just goes thru the nose! Very clean, and real strong. Count is excellent." 

"Something strange, (see photo below), one of the bags was named "BARA BEEM". Exact same material, didn't even notice this till we got back... I wonder if they was tryin to just do a play on words, as they sure didn't give any 'Play' on the order... ;) I mean, I could see them namin it along the same lines 'bada bing - bada boom' or something, so it's still a mystery! Figured you might get a laugh out of this. Gonna be giving another update soon. Material called "KISS". We shall see...."

Maybe the guy typesetting the stamp was suffering from nod (double) vision? Also, perhaps my mind is totally in the gutter (er..) but doesn't it look like "BARE PEEN" when glanced at?

P.S. These "BADA BING" brands pictured, and the "GAS" (not pictured/unavailable) are currently  reputed to have caused many a hot shot O/D, so Be careful!!

Thanks for this awesome blog! Peace..."

DOA (2)

"Finally! I love it when a new connect happens. These are from NYC; which part I'm now sure. There have been many many different stamps of DOA and chances are if you're a doper, you will see a stamp called DOA a few times through your runs. It's average stuff, not garbage, not fire; but has a nice nod. It dissolves nicely, leaves your cotton white and tastes more bitter than usual"

(ed. note: DOA has been reviewed here before (July 2009) The graphic of the stamp was a little different and at the time it was out of Brooklyn..however this has proven to be a pretty ubiquitous nomiker over the years so I wouldn't be surprised if several crews use different versions of it?)
