I moved to a different county. My drivers license dont say it no more, they dont give a fuck that I am from there. Truth is i spend way more time there chillin with my girls, gettin hair/nails done, goin out on the weekend, etc than I ever spend doin anything I aint suppose to be doin. They aint tryna hear it. One of my best homegirls lives on a dope flooded block in the main dope coppin area of the city and I wont even fuck around nowhere near there other than to see her and chill just becuz of that. I could always say I am visitin my girl XXXXX at ### XXXX ave and I can chirp her and have her say it on speaker phone that me and her was just chillen and they will still pull me out the car. U white, it dont mater, u never right over there as far as the boys is concerned.
Also,
hendrix haze, "mexican brown" aint good powder. I dont think u have been able to compare the best tar available out there to the best powder out here. Maybe if you did you still would not change your mind, u got the preference and thats cool do ur thing, but just sayin, it aint fair to judge tar vs powder by comparing fire tar to not fire powder. We dont even be gettin mexican shit out here, and it is usually always barely off white or light gray in color, only the shitty bags we get got a brown or tan tint to them, jus in case u werent aware of that.
Also axl, didnt u say that when u tried dope in jerz, it was from atlantic city? IME and i think some others who have tried the D up and down the state of NJ, would agree with me, in AC their dope is weak and only about half as good as the shit u get up in north jerz.
U offered the opinions of heads u kno, so I will also do the same jus to point out that its all relative and depends on the type of feelin u prefer:
One of my closest friends is a cali native who moved to oregon and he has had all kinds of tar, fire shit as well i mean it aint like he was a out of towner he knows where the good shit be at. Every time he come to the east coast to visit he head straight for a couple bags of jersey fire. he always bitchin about "shitty tar, yall got it so good out there u lucky as hell u bastards" etc.
another one of my friends went out west to visit some of his boys in denver and they got shit that was supposedly fire tar but he was like I brought along some of my own dope and they was all on my dick tryin to get a bag becuz they wanted the good shit, they had put aside some tar for me and i was lucky that i had brought my own becuz i went thru the tar so quick it was stupid.
A long time poster on here blahblahblah now bagochina also had a similar story, he is from chicago so hes tried both on the regular and said he couldnt wait to get back home to that good powder cuz the tar was not worth his time.
i really feel like it is just a personal preference cuz there is a equal amount of ppl that seem to be on both sides who have tried both. I dont think its just a matter of wat u used to, since my one boy is used to tar but waaay prefer powder. Statistically, powder heroin on the east coast is stronger purity wise if u check the stats released by dea, police agencies, etc, that analyzed and tested random samples OFF THE STREET, NOT wholesale.
You might want to say this is bullshit and i can understand how a person might not want to believe this, but ask the poster PureLife on here. He OD'd a while back on ONE bag of some Newark dope. He is a long time IV heroin user just like i am and many other of us, who shoot 4, 5, 6, 8 bags at once, and he straight dropped off one bag.
The local task force lab unit got called to the scene becuz it was unusual for someone to OD on such a little amount, and they tested the 3 left over bags found at the scene. he sent me the lab print out word for word and the purity came back as 97% heroin and 3% quinine.NOW, this dont make no sense for a dealer to do obviously, and u dont just get shit like that every day, but MAD peoplee od'd off them still rollins before the bootleg batch came out that was shit. I doubt every bag of this stamp was that pure, but still none the less there was bags of 97 percent heroin floatin around the streets of newark. Ask him about it he will tell u.
as far as that goes, it aint common to have shit in the 90%s obviously but, it also aint a complete freak anomaly, it happens more than u might think which IMO is stupid for a dealer to be fuckin with shit that high when they could still cut it MUCH more and get more money but thats off topic. My point is that still It been confirmed many times in the past few years that purity in jersey, newark especially, is extremely high and in many of the past years it been classified as the highest average in the nation. Once again this was based on seized samples of packaged, bricked up, street level retail dope, not shipments that was intercepted as they got into the port, etc. this is cut shit ready to hit the streets, or shit that was already on the streets and got confiscated by the po po when they made arrests, that is the standard the data was based on for all over the country whether it was tar or powder.
Of course Shit changes year to year, and i aint tryin to make this a dick size contest of wat state got the best dope. it aint like i can take responsibility for it, it aint got nothing to do with me personally, im just sayin the things I have read with my own eyes, not just street rumors and jersey pride. Of course , its also tru that u can have a bangin connect in fuckin nowhere land alabama that gets you better shit than a crappy connect in jerz, no doubt, so theres obviously exceptions. but i still believe from talkin to ppl i known who done both, and doin lots of reasearch over the years that while the high and nod might be better in your opinion due to alot of shit, that the general purity here is highere and to me thats wat im concerned with.
Sorry for the long ass post i jus wanted to lay down some info about this to represent both sides of the tar vs powder debate more in depth. We can both learn from each other.
