He used to heat it up in the microwave and chop it with a massive kitchen knife!
Sounds exactly the same as my resin dealer was. I'd go in and ask for a fiver's, and he'd microwave it, and chop off a little bit. If I went in and asked for a Q, he'd just chop off a massive lump. He only very rarely used scales. He was brilliant, a fiver could get a group of us fucked. Happy times.
First shared a couple of joints with a lad who is now a family member, and a police officer, with a few other lads. I was 13. Kept asking when I'd feel something, but didn't actually end up feeling anything (it seems weed is one of those things that you have to learn the high of, because I had plenty). I took a bit home, and made a joint with a piece of an Argos catalogue page as a skin, with some kiddie glue to stick it, and had it before just before I got on the school bus. That was a fun morning. I started smoking it quite regularly, from that point, until it was a daily thing, and I spent most of my teenage years stoned.
By 16/17, me and my best mate wanted to try something else, but none of our other mates wanted to. I'd done loads of lighter fuel/Lynx, but realised quickly that it was really bad for me. So, we went to buy some ecstasy. We were taking it once, 'just to see what it's like'. My weed dealer (above) had a friend that sold pills. We bought two pills, and had them at my mum's house, with a load of our mates watching us. I'd done quite a lot of reading, so wasn't really too scared. I had 3/4 of a pill, over a night, and just remember being really annoyed, because it didn't do much. I tried eating, and couldn't swallow a bite of food, then ended up being amazed that I could burn my fingers with a lighter, and not feel any pain (I felt it the day after). My mate was fucked, along with another mate who took a quarter of a pill (TTs, by the way. MDMA/speed, from what I read on here). I was very unimpressed, so we got another couple, the next night. We dropped a full one each, with my mum in the house, but she went off to work. I remember playing Carmageddon, and suddenly not being able to understand what I was doing. We invited a couple of female mates 'round, but they left quite soon, because we were an absolute state. Rolling eyes, swinging jaws, and confessing your undying love for people can apparently be frightening. That night changed my life. I woke up curled up on the same bed as my best mate, and knew I'd found something special.
After that, it was lots of pill consumption, then mushrooms not long after, as they were legal, and readily available in shops. I didn't do much else, until I was older. Acid wasn't until about 21. Then it was GBL, speed, 2C-B/D/E/I, benzos, methylone, DOI, codeine and other stuff. I didn't do coke until I was about 24. The rest I can't remember. Sorry for the long post, it was nostalgic. Brilliant thread.
