I have been out in the local area nightly since my last post trying to get my hands on some of this Exente substance. It has been more elusive than I imagined to get hold of. It seems that the dealers can spot me a mile off. I feel like I’m always one step behind them. Until tonight that is. A young skateboarding youth I happened across in the park offered me some Blue Gold. I received a sample from the boy and have returned home to assess my acquisition.

The substance seems to be in the form of a blue powder and was handed to me in a small resealable plastic bag. The youth advised that I dissolve a teaspoon full into a small glass of water and drink the mixture. He said I’d feel the effects within seconds. I am obviously not going to try this. I will take it to the university to a close friend first thing tomorrow morning. He should be able to give me the results by next week if all goes well. I am nervous to be in close proximity to the substance. My gut tells me to have no part in this Exente whatsoever but I can see the young community being torn apart around me. I must do something. Every young person I see seems to be on another planet. They have no attachment to the real world. If this epidemic gets out of my small town and into the major cities I can’t even imagine what might happen.

For several weeks now I have been noticing a rise in drug usage in the local area. However, until now I had assumed this was merely an increase in commonly known recreational drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, exctasy etc. Today I was alarmingly made aware of what seems to be a new candidate for drug users in the local area. A patient came into the surgery worried for her well being after she had been provoked into taking this new drug at a house party on Friday night. She explained how everyone at the party had been experimenting with the drug, tagged “EXENTE”, and that the effects were intense. She came into the surgery early on Monday morning and had still yet to return to complete sobriety. The patient was not a regular drug user and came to see me for reassurance that there would be no long term ill-effect to her health. However, unfortunately I could give no advice having never heard of the drug myself.

Since Monday I have asked colleagues and we at a loss to pin-point the nature of this strange new drug. I would have merely passed it off as the paranoid ramblings of an addict had I not noticed the stark increase in users on the local streets. Nearly every youth I meet in our area now seems to be on some form of drug trip and from my patient’s description of the ‘high’ it seems that this Exente is spreading across the region like wild fire.

The patient described how she began to feel lighter after she’d taken the drug. Her worries floated away and she saw a carmine light enter her body through her nose and down into her spine. She saw the world in slow motion and felt truly content for the first time since her mother passed away. She also believes that she saw the divine and was told, “word of god“, that she should continue to take ‘Exente’. Strangely, she did not rely any other hallucinations. The high appears to also slow the motor functions in a similar fashion to marijuana, rendering the user incapable of many simple tasks.

From my limited exposure to the drug there seems to be no short-term side effects or come down but it’s potency and addictivity is definitely cause of concern. Should this drug reach the main univerisy campus we could see an epidemic like no other. I have seen my local town overcome by this drug in just over a week. From what I make out, the drug has no classification and therefore possession is no crime.

It can be smoked, injected or ingested (in either solid of liquid form) and thus it seems the whole jouvenile community is trying it. It comes unrefined as a blue powder I am told but can be solidified into pill form or disolved into water to drink. It has also be referred to as “Blue Gold” “Smurph Powder” and “EX” but the most common name is EXENTE.

Where they are getting it from or what it’s actual chemical make up may be I have no idea but I am going to investigate further. I have set up this blog to document my findings. I hope to obtain a sample for laboratory testing within the next week. I will post my findings here.
