Found This Mysterious Bag in My Dad’s Stuff—Should I Be Worried? Open

Gallery image

Gallery image

So, my dad has been acting a bit off lately—making random jokes about drugs and seeming a little down. I didn’t think much of it until today when I stumbled upon this small bag in his stuff. It looks… suspicious, to say the least. I’m genuinely worried, but I’m no expert in this kind of thing.

Can anyone help me figure out what this is? Is it something harmless, or should I be concerned? I’d really appreciate any insight or advice.

That could be rocks of meth. Sorry to break it to you.

Edit: I am no drugs expert, I just googled the stuff and one of the top result was this. Looks pretty similar to me. Also the foil is another clue as it's often found with other drugs paraphernalia.

u/txaecup 15d ago

I thought it was sulfur rocks. They do look quite similar in terms of color

193

u/fullraph 15d ago

Could definitely be sulfur or tree sap honestly but I cross referenced the images to others found on google and found some damn near identical stuff. Also the foil is usually there to make a bowl or some kind of vessel to heat the stuff. Not really versed in meth consumption lol

u/iGrowCandy 15d ago

I used to dabble with Traditional Chinese Medicine, it looks like myrrh or some other tree resin

18

u/zensnapple 15d ago

I was going to say it looks like some of the tree resin incense things we used to sell at the Crystal shop I worked at

15

u/DeletedByAuthor 15d ago

At the crystal shop you say?

12

u/zensnapple 15d ago

Shh, come around to the back door. No cameras back there

u/SupermarketSea9871 15d ago

Myrrh and other tree sap crystals usually have a strong, distinctive smell. Do you smell anything through the bag? I don’t know what meth would smell like, however.

11

u/SupermarketSea9871 15d ago

Also, check the foil, frankincense and myrrh are often burned on charcoal tablets

I thought it was Cap’n Crunch!

I don’t think this is meth

Because it isn't

u/TiddybraXton333 15d ago

Pure m looks like that

u/threejeez 15d ago

This is what I was thinking

u/heartburn-city 15d ago

I have never in my 10+ years of raving seen M that looks like that.

12

u/Ok_Signature1980 15d ago

I've bought "M" that looked like this but I'm no expert and it did fuck me up wayyy more than any other time I had it so who knows if it was just good shit or if it was mixed with something else causing it to have this color

38

u/Nixspeed 15d ago

Bro I am telling you that was cat litter. Please stop trying to smoke cat litter and just come home son.

Also don't bring that cat with you this time. I have explained to you that someone out there misses their cat.

We have never had a cat here

u/SaturnusDawn 15d ago

This is how most really good MDMA looks in the south of England. If you test it with several reagents like marquis, Lieberman, mandelin, mecke, froehde etc (these are the main ones) it'll always give expected results confirming it is MDMA and unadulterated (with other drugs at least. Including caffeine)

33

u/FHAT_BRANDHO 15d ago

I have seen mdma that looks similar to this many times.

u/mightylordredbeard 15d ago

Congratulations on getting good quality meth. This shit looks like any of the garbage crack rocks I’ve seen numerous people smoking in my 25 years of knowing junkies.

u/seven_grams 15d ago

This looks nothing like crack.

u/Evening_Spend3171 15d ago

I've seen M come in rocks that are many colours, any where from purple to green to yellow. It's either colored to act as a branding like different shaped and colored xtc pills or because it's cut with other stims and impure

-10

u/Hazzzy021 15d ago

Purety has absolutely nothing to do with the color, but yea could be M, weak af or strong... & Could be

-21

u/Ichigo-Strawberry 15d ago

pure m is completely clear with a purple tint

u/TiddybraXton333 15d ago

Sometime tells me you’re Canadian lol. That purple stuff has been distributed around here for the past decade and has dyes.

19

u/Doxylaminee 15d ago

My first thought too, especially during the silk road days when purity was higher. More so MDA, really.

I've never seen meth that looks like this. Never.

u/micsare4swingng 15d ago

That short time when MXE was plentiful and cheap and one bump too many could turn a great night in to a nightmare

u/Dpdfuzz 15d ago

I've handled plenty of narcotics in the last 24 years as a LEO. No this is not meth. I've seen and tested plenty of MDMA and if I got a bag like this off someone, I would hold them for suspected MDMA and field test it as such. Those little resin bits for incense do look similar too.

u/mightylordredbeard 15d ago

I take it you’ve never seen crack rock before in your 24 years as a cop lmao

u/catfood_man_333332 15d ago

I’ve done every hard drug except heroin, though I’ve seen heroin. OPs thing doesn’t look like heroin, crack, or meth. Just in case you were implying crack: crack is more cream colored/off white than what OP has here.

That’s not crack. Doesn’t look like it at all. Crack looks like rocked up coke just not scaly at all. Source is I smoked and shot it for years.

u/saysthingsbackwards 15d ago

well then as an LEO you would know narcotics are only downers.

u/mcnewbie 15d ago

it does not. pure meth has much more of a crystalline and less of a foamy-rock appearance.

u/DeletedByAuthor 15d ago

Who said it was pure? Also what does pure in this context mean to you exactly? You aint getting 100% pure meth on the streets if that's what you're implying

Also i'm pretty sure they were implying MDMA, not meth

1

u/saysthingsbackwards 15d ago

meth comes in many more forms than just the hydrochloride crystal

u/5-MEO-D-M-T 15d ago

M= Molly, for the folks at home

3

u/Katsssss 15d ago

Bro, depending on who you talk to and what country you’re from they’ll be meaning different things. m in New Zealand is most definitely meth lol

1

u/xRyozuo 15d ago

M is Molly or meth in this scenario? I’m assuming you mean meth?

1

u/coolrebel671 15d ago

I was thinking that too

192

u/WarmLayers 15d ago

I've seen and handled a lot of meth in my time and I have never seen ANY that looked like this. Maybe don't assert that something is illegal hard drugs unless you're positive, especially in situations like this. Could cause some terrible consequences for all involved.

-30

u/fullraph 15d ago

You're right! I edited my initial comment. Also i'm no drug expert, I simply went to google and found several pictures of damn near identical yellow rock like substance.

35

u/notproudortired 15d ago

Why not delete your meth guess or more clearly refute it? Like "Edit: it's not meth" would work. Leaving it up like it is is pretty irresponsible.

-10

u/fullraph 15d ago

Notice how it says "could be" and not "is"? It's written in an hypothetical way, as it may or may not be the stuff, implying doubt or uncertainty, but that's probably beyond your understanding capabilities.

Did you open the link? It's a government endorsed website which show damn near identical substance. So no, I am not going to delete anything, as I did not 100% identify the stuff but merely claimed that it could be. Add to that that here's literally half of the replies bellow that also claim that it could be...

Also, what if we all validate OP into thinking that it isn't but then it turn out that it is meth?..

u/notproudortired 15d ago

u/fullraph 15d ago

Not really, it's very basic stuff.

u/8ofAll 15d ago

Delete your “google expert” moment comment then?

u/fullraph 15d ago

Are you really that dense? I literally said I am no expert and simply cross referenced pictures. I even provided the sources... Reddit moment!

14

u/redmagor 15d ago

Delete your comment, then.

-3

u/fullraph 15d ago

How about you delete yours?

0

u/relayrider 15d ago

I simply went to google

was your assumption that OP hadn't already done a google search?

op is looking for someone with experience/an "expert,"

2

u/fullraph 15d ago

Dude, please, are you new to the internet? People rush to reddit and ask the absolute simplest things all the freaking time. Like people will make a post in r/science to ask at what temperature does water boil... If you've been on this sub and reddit in general for more than 3 minutes you know for a damn fact that people ask literally anything without doing the slightest bit of research. There's literally DOZENS of subs with experts about crystal substances.

1

u/relayrider 14d ago

i'm well aware, i was curious about in specific: what made you think that you googling with no knowledge of the subject would be helpful?

1

u/fullraph 14d ago

Good lord, but seriously, are you new to the internet? It isn't 1997 anymore dude. The internet is LOADED with examples to cross references, thousands if not even millions! You legitimately think I went to google, looked at one mayyyyyybe 2 pictures and pulled a conclusion? Honestly I don't know what else to tell you but to search it yourself? You'll be amazed at how many pictures you're able to cross reference.

25

u/ohyoureligious 15d ago

Right there with you, I’ve never seen ice look anything remotely close to this. Not even dmt due to the shapes but

21

u/RTKake 15d ago

Agreed! Super irresponsible. Everytime someone comes to reddit with a "what's this?" people jump in with "heroin!" or "meth!" or "human trafficking equipment!" People see what they want to.

1

u/xRyozuo 15d ago

I mean this amount of mdma wouldn’t be good news either lol

2

u/RTKake 15d ago

You're right, it would be great news. If it's not hurting anyone, who cares if their mom and dad drops some E, pet each other's heads and let their freak flags fly (behind closed doors of course)

1

u/xRyozuo 15d ago

It’s the amount that’s the issue lol. Someone with this much isn’t just dropping it every couple of months, which would be the safe ish way of doing it. Idk about you but I know plenty of people with an M problem and they get stupid real quick

1

u/RTKake 15d ago

Yea, a friend ended up with a large gallon glass jar of tablets, they ended up trying to chase the feeling of the first few times and ended up zombified. Once every 6 MO at maximum wound be fine, maybe they just went to the Costco of dealers, got some bulk pricing?

2

u/dragansim7 15d ago

I agree, also i have been smoking meth/ice for 20 years now and have only seen white, light red, light blue, brown and light yellow with all of the rocks looking clear and see through. I can say for sure its MDMA because it doesn't look like shards to me

u/True_CrimePodcast 15d ago

This is not meth

u/rpadilla388 15d ago

Absolutely not.

27

u/Kajun_Kong 15d ago

I wouldn’t say that’s meth

29

u/PsychologicalBid69 15d ago

This is most likely not meth unless he has the best dealer ever that’s still making that infamous peanut butter meth all the old timers talk about but chances are that is not the case!

7

u/fullraph 15d ago

I don't know in all honesty, I just googled it and one of the top results was this. Also the fact that it's with foil lead me to believe that it could be drug related.

Now you weren't. And if you were that was a shitty cook.

That is not meth. If it is, it tge worst damn bathtub crank I've ever seen.

Meth is not generally stored in foil, though it can be smoked in foil.

Source: grateful addict in recovery

7

u/fullraph 15d ago

Well, two people in replies bellow said that if it's indeed meth it's probably the purest/best stuff? No clue how they could come to that conclusion, maybe by the color or shape or?..

25

u/plz2meatyu 15d ago

Back in the day peanut butter meth was a thing. But it wasn't as good the pure ice you can get.

It was also...crumbly. I dont know how to explain it. Almost moist.

Really good meth is crystallized, that's why it's called ice. It melts clear and gives a good Crackback in the pipe.

The peanut butter stuff, imo, was made in trailers with propane, fertilizer, Sudafed, etc. It wasn't a clean high like good lab made stuff but would fuck you up, literally. It was also way more "chemically" smelling/tasting. It wouldn't melt as well and would burn the pipe. You could taste the fuel used to make it.

Cheap southern "bathtub crank" was made with lighter (zippo) fluid and would be incredibly harsh and moist. Terrible to smoke, worse to snort.

It's one of those things that if you know, you know.

u/Quirkyishone 15d ago

Snorting that bathtub stuff would make your eyeball burn and your big tooth quiver!!

u/DopeCactus 15d ago

Congrats on your recovery!

u/So-Called_Lunatic 15d ago

If you don't know and have to google it, why even put it out there? OP could've googled it. Most everyone on here that has actual experience with meth say it's likely not.

0

u/fullraph 15d ago

You don't ever google anything? You don't ever make your own researches? You don't enjoy learning things? Commenting on various matters is strictly prohibited unless you're a certified expert in said matter? How sad, open your mind a little bit.

u/So-Called_Lunatic 15d ago

I don't just throw bullshit on the wall and see if it sticks.

0

u/fullraph 14d ago

So clearly I'm right in my previous comment. You did not even open the link I posted as source nor did you even do your own researches? Give it a shot, you will find pictures of pretty much identical rocks as those found in OP's baggy.

u/GroundbreakingAd8310 15d ago

In my younger years I got see the stuff raw. If this is meth it would murder someone

u/8ofAll 15d ago

Maybe folks should stop acting like they’re experts after googling for a few minutes. SMH

-1

u/fullraph 15d ago

Are you dense or are you simply unable to validate information on your own? It's literally in the first line, "I am no drugs expert". I provided one of the sources I found which was the 4th picture from the search. The site appears to be a govt endorsed website. SMH my head.

Did you miss the part of the comment where I provided a source with a clear image of nearly identical stuff?

u/tdpoo 15d ago

No I didn't, Dr Google.

u/frankvile 15d ago

i have sold meth in my past and not ever did i see anything like this.

u/fullraph 15d ago

It probably isn't, then.

0

u/Sm0key_Bear 15d ago

I'm surprised I don't see it anywhere else in the comments. This could also be concentrates from what I can tell. For the OP, it's basically just super concentrated weed. No more dangerous than smoking marijuana itself, which is not in itself dangerous.

1

u/ObscureVagina 15d ago

You should keep your mouth shut if you don’t know. Why do so many people, like you, google and guess. It’s idiotic.

0

u/fullraph 15d ago

What's idiotic is taking a reddit comment that is merely suggesting something and taking it as a 100% positive answer. Is that something you do? Don't you know what "could be" means? It's conditional, it implies there's a maybe, it is neither positive or negative. It opens the way to further research and discussion. You should apply the first part of your reply to your own self when you read something and are not able to fully process is.

2

u/Zumvault 15d ago

I'm no expert either, but in my limited past experience there wasn't a yellow coloration to the crystals it was more akin to quartz in appearance but with an internal haziness.

Though production processes likely vary so there may be a means to produce the yellow coloration intentionally or as a byproduct.

But malleable crystals contained in a ziplock bag alongside crumpled aluminum foil is only a heat-source short of a smoke kit.

0

u/fullraph 15d ago

The foil is what lead me to believe it could have been and do a bit of research. Some folks have commented bellow saying that yellow rocks may indicate it's really strong or pure? Honestly I have no clue what to make of the color but I did find some nearly identical photos and the foil next to it, as you said, could definitely be used to consume the stuff.
