This article has no cited sources or anything... I highly doubt its existance... Can we please get some evidence? Diizy 18:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...it is likely that the manufacturer erroneously thought that potency or subjective effects would be increased in an analogous manner to the difference between morphine and heroin

This is purely speculation. No information about the potency of the Acetate is given and there are no references given to confirm the properties of this compound, so no comparison can be made to the unacetylated form. I think there is at least one book that claims the "potency" to be approximately twice that of the unacetylated form, which would contradict that statement, and should be looked into. This whole article seems to focus on some event where someone was caught with it illegally and speculating on what they were trying to do, rather than on the molecule and its properties. --76.123.165.106 (talk) 20:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i agree, I think this article should be deleted, it is purely speculative and makes no actual sense. DarkShroom (talk) 10:08, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
