I'm writing a fictional story about heroin addicts in Los Angeles, 1997. I was wondering if anyone on this forum could help me with some details. I know there are probably a very small amount of heroin users still alive from that time, but I thought I'd ask. Please don't feel like you have to answer if it's going to give you the urge to use.
My main question is about the type of heroin - it was black tar at that time and place, right? When I used, it was around that time but in a different part of the country, where the heroin was white powder. Would there have been any white powder heroin available for middle to upper class junkies at that time? I want to make sure I get the details about Los Angeles right.
My secondary question is where heroin users would have copped in the 1990s, and which bars and clubs they would have hung out at. If you can help me out with getting my story right, it's important to me to honor those who passed from this with correct treatment of the situation they lived in, even though the story is going to end up being fiction. Thanks to all you guys and congratulations on surviving.
