I was born and raised in anchorage AK and left when i was 18 and returned when i was 20 for a year and a half where i went to get clean from heroin but instead picked up a heroin AND meth addiction. Drugs are EXPENSIVE. Except for weed which is everywhere. The coke is shitty and stomped on as fuck. Heroin is there but expect to pay 5x the price than you do in the loqer 48. Dimes are called niftys and NEVER way a tenth, more like .07. There is ONE methadone clinic, the waiting list is over a year long and they can only hold 18 people and pregnant women get priority. So dont ever expect to get on methadone. There is no open air market, Anch is a tiny city and all the tweekers and dopefiends know eachother because pretty much everyone uses those two drugs, its rare to find someone who strictly uses meth or strictly uses heroin.
The drugworld is mostly middlemanning with a few dealers which take forever to get up the food chain to meet and most of them use drugs themselves and are weird as fuck. There is absolutely NO loyalty amoung this underworld, its ridiculous. Do not expect to find heroin immediately it takes some hardcore diggin but once you find it youre good. Getting drugs is such a hassle, so much waiting and goosechasing. Theres so many people that want dope and so little dope the dealers really got powder power and its gone to their heads. Since drugs are so damn expensive, like i said earlier, its turned these people ruthless. You have to make 5x as much money up there just to get well, so they have turned to some grimey as fuck schemes. Most the girls prostitute cos there ia rich as fuck business men up there.
I live in cali now, i came here in 2011, but PM me and Ill answer any questions you got
Meth is big up there too but decent price. Heroin is the only drug that demand has inflated the price of. I had to leave the state again after i went back, it was a dead end for me the town is so damn small i was running into the underworld minions everywhere i went and leaving was the best decision of my life. Its also cold as fuck in the winter and you NEED a car, public trans is not efficent.
Also the sub doctors also have a patient limit, you are pretty much fucked as far as trying to get help, we are really behind the times. We do have a needle exchange and we also have two shitty ghetto ass sides of town where most the drugs are. You could probably find a sub doc but methadone is out of the question.
Also the courts are merciless when it comes to drug charges. I got a felony posession charge for a USED NEEDLE. When i got caught up in CA for a gram i was out in three days and did a court ordered program and got the charge dismissed. The courts dont fuck around, they dont have any type of program and immediately stick you on supervised probation so youre bound to go back to jail. Thats another reason why I left.
