Are The White Gg249 Xanax A Good Brand? (Top voted first)

I got chalky tasting xanax with imprint gg249 on one side. And smooth on the back, I haven't taken one until I figure out if they're good or not. Anyone else been prescribed these? Do they work, are they a legitimate brand?

REPORT

This is going to be extremely detailed, extremely incriminating and extremely informative, good thing I'm writing this from an untraceable source...

First, there are currently 47 different manufactured varieties of alprazolam. For the sake of clarification, let us go ahead and lump "Xanax" and "alprazolam" together because they are, essentially, the same thing.

Alright, now everyone put on your thinking caps and take a ride down a very deep, dark tunnel with me...

Let's start with manufacturing. Xanax (originally manufactured by Sandoz) was the first of it's kind for the USA and the one we all know and love. Whenever a big pharm company comes out with a drug, they are allowed a patent on the brand so that they can make back their money from the 10+ years the drug was going through FDA-required research.

Pause for a moment a take a step back. I said "FDA-required research", that only applies to America. Many other countries had already been making alprazolam tablets, they just never labeled it as Xanax nor did they sell it in the United States.

Flash forward to 2015, the patent on Xanax has expired, any pharmaceutical manufacturer can now legally create alprazolam tablets and sell them to major distributors and pharmacies (and they are considered generic drugs).

Pause again, generic drugs are allowed by the FDA, but what most people do not know is that all generics are allowed to have a +/- 20% variance in potency. Meaning a generic can be up to 20% weaker or 20% stronger than the brand-name counterpart and there's nothing we can do about it... the FDA allows it!

OK, so now hopefully you all understand the following things:

1. Xanax is a name-brand for alprazolam and was the first to be introduced to the United States by a manufacturer named Sandoz

2. Sandoz's patent on the drug has expired, and now there are over two dozen manufacturers making roughly 47 different types of generic Xanax, otherwise known as alprazolam.

3. The generic drugs can be 20% more or less potent per FDA regulations

4. We have not even discussed "off-market" manufacturing!

So, now that there are so many manufacturers that make alprazolam, in so many different parts of the world, quality control has essentially been thrown out the window.

Think about it, Walgreen and CVS can now order from a slew of manufacturers through a slew of distributors. Manufacturers rarely sell their drugs directly to pharmacies, hence the need for major drug distribution companies.

If I still have your attention, I'm impressed. Now we are going to talk about HOW these distribution companies go about getting enough alprazolam to sell to all the pharmacies around the world that need it.

Let's do some very simple, and very hypothetical math to put things in perspective:

Let us say there are 7 million people in the world that take, on average, a total of 4mg of alprazolam per day. That is 1/10th of 1% of the world population (an extremely small amount). In reality, the number is probably higher.

Now, that means that 28 million pills need to be produced and distributed on average, per day, without any backstock, in order to keep everyone's pill bottles full.

So where do sketchy third party distributors in India get the drugs? You guessed it, from an extremely sketchy manufacturer that makes alprazolam. It is not illegal to mass produce it in India, hence why people are talking about that country more than any other in this forum.

Let's take the GG249 for example. People have been talking about the average height/look/taste of that pill. Well my friends, there are probably 1000 or more people, chemists to be exact, that are making these things in their home-made laboratories all around the world.

Alprazolam is extremely easy to make; it requires only three ingredients.

1. Alprazolam powder
2. A binding agent to combine with the powder
3. A pill press

If you get manufacturing down, the cost per pill is roughly .19-.35 cents. The major pharmaceutical companies can produce it for between .08 and .12 cents per pill.

Let's take a look at alprazolam powder, it is quite possible one of the cheapest chemicals to procure worldwide. A manufacturer can purchase 1000mg of pure powder for just $100. Put that in perspective, that is 500 2mg pills for $100. The estimated value of that is $2500 at a rate of $5/pill (standard price for 2mg alprazolam).

I'm not here to talk about drug dealing though. I'm here to inform all of you that drugs are manufactured and sold through outlets that you cannot even image.

When people are describing the chalky taste, that is the chemical that is pressed with alprazolam to bind it. It can be one chemical, or a variety thereof that are used to create the alprazolam tablets.

In summary, there is so much more than I can possible describe on one thread regarding how a pill ends up going from a mixture of chemicals, to being put into your body.

It's shocking, enlightening, and all-in-all makes you grateful for the FDA system that we have in place. People complain about the lengthy process it takes to get a drug to market in the USA... I can state with certainty, it is for the benefit of humanity. If everyone were able to get their hands on pure alprazolam powder, they would die.

If everyone knew how to make it, not only would the pharmaceutical companies tank but people will literally be accidentally killing each other. It happens all the time on the deep web with bad shipments of drugs. Don't let it happen to you.

Stay informed and open-minded.

The GG249 are real if they have 3 lines and are 15mm long. But the dead give away is the number 4... if it is connected it's not made by Sandoz. Look closely at the number 4. It should not look like the one in this message. Don't believe me then look it up.

There's actually been several other discussion threads started about these GG 249 bars either being fake or real. Most comments I've read state that the fake ones feel like a placebo or a 0.5mg dose, but then again every batch could be different. Based on my research, if it's real, the pill imprint "GG 249" on a white rectangle-shaped tablet should include a few score marks that EITHER look like this: G|G24|9 (but also with a partial score above/below the "2"); and on the backside of the tablet there should be three full score lines that would divide the pill into 4 pieces (if separated).

OR going vertical (as shown below) with no score marks on the back side:

GG
----
2
---
4
---
9

Another factor you can use for verification is the size of the tablet. Legitimate one's made by Sandoz are reported to have a size of approx. 15.00 mm. However, I think it goes without saying that if you're not going through a legitimate pharmacy then it literally could be anything until you get it analyzed by a lab.

Hope this helps!

Old Xanax doesn't become chalky because they are old. I am working on my 2012 supply right now. If you lick a Xanax and they don't taste bitter it is not real. Generally, if you don't obtain it from a bona fide Pharmacy they are fake!

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain in such detail. That answers any questions I may have had regarding why some generic 2mg Xanax were stronger than others. It seems there is never any rhyme or reason. Despite the fact that they may appear the same, every batch is different. Thanks again!

Ok I am a complete Xanax bar pro. I am being dead serious. I am from Florida and been prescribed my share of Xanax from every brand of benzo and every mg ever made. First let me start that American-made Xanax is the best Xanax. Other countries are totally bad (Pfizer/sandoz). I only know about 2mg either being Actavis Elizabeth 2mg [R]0[3]9] to Sandoz [GG]2]4[9] and DAVA Pharmaceuticals that make the 2mg mint green K-Pin colored and minty tasting [S]30]9] that are a rarer and most apealing looking xanax 2mg pill on the market. Next I would say the Actavis 2mg [R]0]3]9] school bus xanax are very pretty and powerfull if not the strongest 2mg out to get prescribed to the health insurance guidelines. Most people have free healthcare so you will get 9/10 sandoz brand or the Greenstone bulls*** or even the 1mg blue footballs and those are great. I'd take that anyday over a k-pin or a .05 Ativan. Any doctor trying to give you Ativan or K-Pin run out the door. I pay my psychiatrist. I dont use free healthcare so I get what I want and most of all not wait f***ing 4 months to see some awkward doctor. In reality doctors look down on people using free heatlth care. It's true, I've seen and had doctors tell me they dispise prescribing meds to anybody on obama care or free healthcare because they're all junk bags.

If you cant afford 128$ a week for an hour visit with a good doctor you trust and knows you like you know them then why let the state give you a doctor that's "ANTI XANAX" or ANTI Pain Pills, but will shove suboxone and paxil, lithium, and all these other crazy drugs down your throat and have you come back!!! Let's be serious. We are there to get our 2mg xanax and get out mot or prozac and lithium and buspar. Anyway I got carried away. A real SANDOZ LABS is 15MM weight which is 0.25 grams sometimes 0.26 grams. Just flick it. I used the great digital scale called the tare and calibrated it with the 100g weight 2 times to assure accuracy. It came with and used a 5 cent nickel also a few times and was on point so SANDOZ 0.25g to 0.26g all real. Sandoz LABS 2mg xanax bars will have a clear coated finish like it was dipped in clear candy apple paint. if it has no shine and the letters and numbers are too big it's bad! If the GG is huge it's also bad. Real sandoz have super small GG 249 imprints. Even the numbers are super small and the 4 has an open face always. The 4 should never be closed ever, point blank. Also, sandoz takes pride in their xanax. Almost all their products have superior detail! Next is Actavis Elizabeth Pharmaceuticals. Those I have to say have the best detail to their meds and are my xanax of choice over greenstone, Dava, sandoz pharmaceuticals.

Real yellow 2mg school bus xanax from walgreens will have a glossy coat along the side. They changed their press last year making the R039 more visible to the human eye. The R SYMBOL is bigger than the previous "R". It's the same with 0|3. They're bigger and have the most bitter alp taste out of all xanax. The yellow bars have an extremely strong taste even As far as Dava S 90 3 green hulks 2mg, they are not time release and they are not 3mg. Only stupid people think the yellow and green xanax are time release or 3mg. Not true. They're all 2mg and all generics! Do not take any Xanax that says [X]A]N[A[X] / [ ][2][ ][ ]. Those are 100% bad. There is no company that has a 2 on the back. It's chalk and binders and could have fentanyl or who knows what. From my experience, I've seen plenty around. I've seen plenty of dark green hulks and even dark yellow R039!! 80% of those contain no benzodiazepines at all. It's all filler! The best way to ever test a med without tasting it is using the ''20OZ SPRITE BOTTLE TEST". BUY A 20OZ SPRITE. ANY CLEAR SODA & DROP A XANAX OR ANY TYPE OF BENZO IN!'' Note: If the Xanax does not sink to the bottom asap and start fizzing like alka-selzer and erupt like a volcano it's bad. If it rises, breaks into chunks and gunk rises on top you have a bad xanax! NOTE: REAL XANAX SINKS AND FIZZES UNTIL DISSOLVES. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED THIS.

Chalky I've found to be the more fresh. I was given batches of yellow norcos once that I couldnt bite through without breaking a tooth, later to find out he was getting them through a waste management company getting outdated meds.

If you can't tell a real from a counterfeit you shouldn't be taking them. GO TO AN AMERICAN PHARMACY!

Now for the pill imprint:

GG
__
2
__
4
__
9

NOTICE THE 4, it's not supposed to be closed, it should resemble this 4 but with the top just barely separated. Next see how the 9 here curves, it shouldn't. It should come down straight at a slight angle and the scores aren't just a straight line, if you look very closely to a REAL GG249 the the score is actually slightly rounded. You have to look really close to notice this but it's there. FOR THOSE OF YOU ORDERING FROM COUNTRIES WHO DO NOT REGULATE THEIR MEDICATION OR ORDER W/ OUT A SCRIPT YOU ARE BOUND TO GET RIPPED OFF! AND YOU DESERVE IT. SAD TO SAY it's not hard to get prescribed xanax/alpralozam legally. I've been prescribed it for 15yrs for ptsd, sleeplessness and anger and anxiety issues! If you are buying them from the street go to a Dr if you abuse and run out. Remember what I just told you, a**holes will crush up 4 task bars with a touch of fentanyl and other binders so you get a bitter taste but it's not going to help you when you start to detox! Bottom line IF YOUR GOING TO TAKE DRUGS GET PRESCRIBED THEM.

Re: Task rx THE TRUTH (# 40)

I'm not being mean or hateful but where do u live, cuz finding a Dr. to prescribe them where i live is next to impossible? The DEA has cracked down so hard these doctors don't like to write anything controlled. I have legally taken benzos for 8yrs to be taken off them bc of bs the state is enforcing bc of too many overdoses. I don't think a drug after many years should be bumped up in the list of classes of controlled drugs bc some people abuse them. So the few people who really need them can't get them now which leads to more people buying off the street and not knowing what they're getting.

I've seen the 4 open and closed, the only way I can tell is to taste it. If you get a real one that you know is real they have that taste. If it taste like chalk then it's chalk. Taste one first. I never buy the xanax never had a real one, but a girl tried to tell me that she got some from the hospital, but if they don't have the bottle saying that is what it is I don't believe you.

PLEASE be totally aware of your xanax, being 2 or less mgs....if they taste at all like chalk...DO NOT TAKE THEM. Most folks I know don't even bother with bars anymore because they are too easy to get a "pill presser" for and Walla...a chalk colored mystery pill. Forgers usually (so far) only do the bars for more profit.
