Foreign Drug Scenes

Burnt Offerings said:
Amsterdam is like freakin' Sodom and Gomorrah, you'll definitely be able to score some drugs as a tourist there...it was one of three European cities where people would just walk up to me and try to sell me drugs (the other two being Prague and Budapest)

Frankfurt, I got offered sex twice and I can't even count the times I've been offered drugs while walking through just a couple of streets
 
I'd love to get completely tweaked out of my mind on crystal meth and shoot military-grade weaponry at cows...that sounds amazing.

It also sounds like needless cruelty towards animals, though, I suppose. :(
 
UK vs. US drug scenes.

Prescription drugs are more of a niche because it's much more difficult to get scripted controlled drugs in the first place. There are benzos but the most popular one is diazepam. There are opiates but mainly codeine, tramadol, and heroin. There are others around, especially on DNMs, but they're harder to come across and you have to go out of your way to find them usually. There is no hydrocodone or oxymorphone on the street or from our doctors. No alprazolam either.

Amphetamine is less popular here, we tend to prefer cocaine. Meth isn't really a thing at all. Both the speed and coke tend to be very low quality on the street.

MDMA is big in both countries. We love that shit. Quality is actually going up here because dealers are getting a lot of pills imported from Amsterdam.

Weed isn't legal here like it's becoming in the US but honestly it might as well be. It's virtually as easy to get as any legal drug and police tend to turn a blind eye. But without dispensaries we don't have the selection of strains the US benefits from.

I'm sure I'm missing some stuff because I'm high right now but those are the main ones anyway.
 
Australia. Barely any decent cocaine. High prices across the board for Cocaine/Ice/Pills in comparison to other places I've heard or read about.
Couldn't believe how amazing and cheap cocaine is in the UK - if I lived there I'd never drink alcohol again. Would also possibly be dead in a month :)

If you think UK coke is "amazing and cheap" the Australian market must be very very bad.
 
^They sell orange capped insulin syringes over the counter in Mexican pharmacies. "Necesito jaringas" means I need syringes. They sell them in like 5-10 packs. I bought them for my grandmother no questions asked several times. I don't shoot up though so I'm not sure if those are the kind people use.
 
Yeah, the very same...

I would be extremely surprised if pharmacies in Mexico didn't just sell syringes to anyone who asked

Interested in how the drug scene works in foreign (ie not America) places. I can't imagine anywhere else in the world having open air drug markets like we have in the cities of America, and I can't imagine a lot of countries out there with such large numbers of say, heroin addicts and cokeheads and meth addicts.

I wanted to talk about the Japanese drug scene and how it's like, but figure to turn it into a talk about any foreign drug market.

You should be able to imagine it. It's true.
 
Having been around the world and from the UK I can say shit is very different everywhere. The strange thing about the UK is that crystal meth seems to be relatively VERY uncommon, although it is growing as I know from personal experience and my psychiatrist's info. Also PCP seems to not even exist AT ALL, which seems strange when seeing how popular and cheap it is in the US for example. Never, EVER heard about it or been offered it, save some "oh some mates of mine tried that years ago but all started banging their heads on the wall, so i decided not to try any" anecdote, lol
 
Nothing personal, but I think most people know already the USA drug scene because there is tons of documents. Im more interested eastern europe, asian , africa and middle east.

Yep we largely don't even use the cheap Euro speed (regular amphetamine) like everyone else around us does because we're just full of cokeheads.

Never come across PCP before ever.

I've been to Thailand many many times for long times at a time I also speak the language to some extant so I've got some insight in the drug scene there. Methamphetamine is known there as Yaba, which mean crazy drug, it is almos always smoked some do eat it and it has meth and caffeine, when it first came around it called horse drug, because you know meth makes you very good worker at the first at least, the government forced the name change to yaba, so not to make people think it makes you strong like horse. At the beginning maybe 20 years ago yama actually contained heroin with meth so you can imagine how addictive it was.

There is said to be 4 million methaddicts in the country, many of them are taxi drivers, bus drivers and other workers. Also some years ago also crystal meth came to market, its more expensive but became very popular. For local people yaba might cost around 200 baht (so its about 5$) sometimes even lower, for foreigners (farangs) it might cost 1000 baht so 25$, crystal for local people costs around 400-600 baht so around 10-15 dollars but for farangs around 50-100 dollars. Of course if you have local friends who use it they will get it in local prices. The snitch culture is very strong there, if someone gets caught with one yaba pill the police will encounter him to do more purchase from that dealer and after that they come arrest the dealer, thais will always do the fake buying I think almost never they refuse because you get smaller punishment if you do that. If you have over 4 yaba pills or 0,5g crystal meth you might get punished as dealer and can get you jailed for 10 years, for smaller possession its mostly one day in jail and fine. They do random piss tests in night club and any party street and you will get taken to police station and get fine as long you don't have any drug with you.

There are lots of fake dealers in night club and street who are doing work with police, they might sell you real drug and after 5 min police will come to arrest you, if you want to bribe you're way out you have to pay at least 40 000 baht, so around 1000 dollar. The only safe way to buy and consume drugs in Thailand is having some local friend who uses it also, he will get the drug and you go to smoke it with him in his home, you should stay there as long the effects will go down. Never take any drugs with you or to youre hotel.

Heroin is available, usually nigerians are the dealers at least for foreigners, but with local contact he can get you it prices are around 60-100 dollar, I almost bought but was too paranoid about it so I passed. The purity is usually very high, because usually it comes from BUrma where they product it and it is very pure and clean. In Brma there is huge problems with heroin, even police and army person might do it, they gather with other users and shoot it up. Opium can also be founded among hilltribes in the Chiang Mai or Chiang Raai, Thailand break down poppy cultivation in 50's because most hill people men were smoking it heavily., but even nowadays there is still people smoking it in the northern Thailand.

Tramadol is/was very popular amongst thai teens, they usually take it with promathizine cough medicine, but because many teens went to convulsion the new junta began to crack down its sell, now its very hard to get any tramadol from pharmacy. About 4 years ago you could buy 50mg x 10 or 100mg depot tramadol from airport pharmacy, EVERY pharmacy sold it every western owned pharmacy sold it. In smaller pharmacies 50mgx10 IR tramadols could cost as little as 50c (20baht), they almost never limited the amounts, I once bought 10 packets of 100mg depot tramadol and 10 packets of 50mgx10 IR tramadol. If you go now there its very hard to get, some pharmacies ask you're passport and need to write you're information to documents which they send to government. Some pharmacies might sell you most benzos, ketamine, buprorphine and methylphenidate but the prices are very high. Also ketamine and exstacy are very popular among locals. Also lyrica and gabapentin are sold in any pharmacy also in airport. Also you migh get codeine 30mg/500 paracetemol content, some pharmacies will sell you pure 30mg codeine tablets.

I know that cannabis use is popular among youth, but I'm not in to that drug so I don't know, one time I smoked joint with very nice and friendly thai guy, he even offered me meal and said I can sleep in his place if I cant find questhouse.

You should not do any drugs there if you dont speak the language and dont know local people, there are lots of farang methaddicts who sell it and get caught and sent to prison for 10 years.

Also in southern Thailand its very easy to get kratom, many older workers use it, lately the new junta is thinking about making use of kratom more legal in medicine use. The new junta is planning to end the harsh drug laws and even make possession of small amounts of meth for personal use decriminalized or at least not to sent to jail but to rehab.

Also in Thailand there is very successful Buddhist temple for drug addicts, it involves lots puking and meditation, it was established in 70's when there was huge opium and heroin use boom, but nowadays most people are methaddicts. They say around 80% dont go back using drugs. Its very good place. Thais in general are very nice people.

One thing I noticed, there are lots of long term meth users but Ive never seen any in so bad shape like some american methheads are. Even one older man who used meth for 20 years daily, he still had his teeths and face had some acne but nothing else.

Also IV meth use is very rare, I asked many people about it and they were shocked they told me they don't do that here. In the other hand there are heroin addicts who shoot it up. In Bangkok and some other cities there are methadone clinics for heroin addicts, I don't think there is any limit for patients, but they get their week doses for once, so no need to go there every day.

I am actually off to Thailand for a month tomorrow. I agree pretty much with your entire post.
I have spent a lot of time there over the years. I had a Thai girlfriend for four years and speak Thai pretty fluently. I agree with scoring through Thais but only if you know them. Dont score off randoms in clubs or at the full moon party. Ex pats are also a good source if they dont actually sell drugs but have connections. I have done both many many times.

As far as pot goes its everywhere and is pretty cheap. Some Thai weed is really strong. It may look like crap but if you get the good weed you will be left amazed.

Anyway just be safe is the main thing. You dont want to get busted there.

Just asking since you seem to know what's up---is cannabis illegal too or is it tolerated? Like when you say don't get busted, is cannabis included in that?
 
I live in the U.K. (The North) and there are definitely no "open air markets and very little what I think Americans call "copping" (is this just heading out to certain areas looking for certain types of people on the off chance u can get something other than arranging something by phone? I am not trying to source drugs by saying this, I am merely curious. Over here very few people will risk just asking people for fear of being ripped off or asking the wrong person. Most people will have more than one contact. Up here we have everything apart from LSD (I've never seen/heard of it it anyways) and Chrystal meth. Mushrooms are seasonal in the Autumn/fall. Legal highs had a following but they were banned several months ago. So the usual suspects. Heroin, coke, speed, skunk (was mainly hash until last 10-12 year but now majority is skunk) benzos and stuff like Lyrica and other pharms. Apparently G.H.B is popular further down the country but I've never encountered it up North

"Copping" just refers to obtaining drugs. "Cold copping" would be what you're describing...going out without a connect and buying drugs (usually open air market, finding other users, asking homeless types, etc)
 
^yeah, America can be surprising easy at that--but mostly I think it's just certain areas.

A certain friend of mine once went up to a guy at a semi-sketchy apartment complex thinking it was someone else and asked him straight-up for heroin. At first dude is like WTF!!!? why would you ask me for that?! I don't even know you!... but my friend talks to him for a minute and convinces him he's cool---so the guy goes up to his friend's place and buys us some dope... good shit too. My friend always had a knack for drug connections.
