Well, not in Montreal, the open air drug place, the black guys from french speaking countries or with parents coming from french speaking countries who totally speak the same as a white french canadian will tell ya "here there's only snow and buzz, if we find someone selling H in the open, they won't come back, be sure of it". I was in a huge town for a part of my college years and the best exotic thing I got was pure moroccan blond hash, the only time I saw H like I said was at anything-goes as long as you keep it quiet kind of apartment and those dudes were smoking #3 brown with foil and a lighter with small bottles of soda cut in half to take hits, like hot knives for weed and hash and oil, sort of, the cone thing, but that's about it, the older brother of the guy I knew best there was the guy with and he was smoking it like a pro and making hits for him and his girlfriend, i think using scissors to make a square of foil, like half a normal sheet of paper long then it then bent it over itself a couple times and then put the powdered brown in the middle where the thing was now like a small-ish curved V and then put the soda bottle half in his mouth and ran the lighter a couple inches under the foil, and then the stuff turned liquid and you have to move it around carefully (the liquid so that it doesn't all burn up at once. It seems difficult, but hot knifing weed seems difficult at first.
As for me I was shooting Dilaudid and Morphine pills with my trusty SteriFilts made for shooting pills, I had a better rush than them (Dilaudid) and about 3/4 the amazing nod they had, I didn't have 3-MAM and 6-MAM, just morphine after the dilaudid dissipates 10 minutes later, fuckin opi-crack. They went all insane about Oxycontin, although we have generic oxycontin just like the old stuff, Oxycodone-CR, I had some 5-6 times before I was stuck at only being able to find Dillies and HydromorphContins 18's, 24's and 30's.
The HMC's, any canadian know how easy they are to abuse, unlike Kadians the beads don't have talc, so they're safe if you got quality filters, those in SteriCup do the job, SteriFilts are the best though, just mortar and pestle the shit, care fully on a sheet of paper, and then take the sheet of paper with the crushed hydromorphone, either dilaudid or HMC contin beads turned to dust and slowly let fall into your securicup or if you don't have securicups, you're an idiot, every pharmacy is an exchange here so, we got our packs with 4 bacteriostatic water vials, securicups (sterile cups), plastic handles if you gotta heat what you're shooting up, H or Coke.everything else you have to be an idiot to do so, adding in more crap, although with Dilaudid brand name, there's almost nothing left in the cup, the magnesuim stearate is all in the filter and some anhydrous lactose might have come through but that's a non-concern. And then the best rush of anxiety relief and coming from your legs slowly up to the top of your brain the best with freebase, I once almost had the oppurtunity of taking a hit of freebase while coming up on the Dilaudid rush and passed, I though my heart wouldn't handle it, some kind of freakish speedball and those scare the shit outta me.
