I've seen that movie about Willimantic, and yeah, it was pretty unbelievably boring. I've never copped there myself, never copped in Hartford either, and the only places we've ever copped from were in New Haven, Bridgeport, and West Haven. These days, it's basically just New Haven and West Haven.
We're lucky to have a couple of very good New Haven connects. It sucks because everyone wants to middle you and the only way to really get a connect's number is to play hard ball with your addict "friends." It took us a long, long time to get our dealers' numbers, and it only happened when we finally got sick of it and started saying no.
"Dude can you give me a ride and I'll throw you a bag?" "No." "Dude, how about two bags? I'll throw you two bags!" "How about you keep your bags and introduce me to your connect?" "Nah, man, he doesn't wanna see anyone new..." "OK then, well, no." (two hours later...) "Yo my boy just called and said he'd meet you!" Yeah, that's what I thought...
The dope in New Haven is pretty good, actually. But it's been hit or miss recently. I've got one guy who has pretty decent dope for relatively cheap, but the bags are small, and I've got another guy who doesn't do deals, but his bags are much, much bigger and the dope is just as good. The first guy is also easier to see and never makes us wait, whereas the second guy with the bigger bags sometimes takes a while. So, it's always that trade-off...
