Is heroin always sold under a brand name in the US?

[Boku_]

Does street deals of heroin sold in American cities always get sold under a nickname or brand name like WMD, red Scorpions, black reapers etc and often the plastic baggie the dope comes in have printed symbols matching the brand name.

And crack sold on the street normally comes in glass or plastic virals and street dealers name them nicknames like red tops, blue tops etc.
Is this correct?

Why don't the street dope hustlers just say I've got Killa Chine White, Afghani brown , Mexican black tar???

It really depends on what region you are from, where I grew up in the East we had #4 heroin and it would be in stamped glassine bags. All the different cities in NJ would have different brands and they would change over time. But once in awhile a stamp would stick around a hot minute. The first and best bags I'd ever done were stamped Fleetwood Mac. It was incredibly pure this was in 2002-2003, they stuck around a whole year and changed my life forever since. They we're so fat and it was some epic times, if I was to only know what this Dope Game would become.

But on the West Coast with the black tar i assume It wouldn't be marketed in the same way because it's usually in small balloons. I've seen pictures on here of the Dope from the Mid-West in those dime bags with designs. But I think the most marketing concerning brand names happens on the East Coast in The States.

I have no idea but this is an interesting question though

In Florida it was never branded. It would either be in tiny dime sized ziplocks, folded foils or the corner of a twisted up sandwich baggie.

The crack dealers usually just ran up to your car and pulled out a Garcia Vega cigar tube full of crack and dropped the rocks in your hand.

That sounds horrible

Yeah they sold Loose Crack like that in the city i started at. My sweaty ass hands all over the crack, one good part is its easy to eat or toss if the cops run down. And i found that i saw the right Dude and bought it loose id end up with much more than if i bought the same amount in vials.

Friend of mine another BLer who moved down to Florida years back told me of the mini-dimebags of Heroin. Said they we're a little bigger than a blotter of Acid. From what i understood from him the Heroin Scene down there at the time wasn't anywhere near as large as the one in the North East. This was when you could still get Blue's easy there so it was probably one of the reasons them pills being so cheap at the time.

Wonder how far South the stamp bags are. I know that in Baltimore they sell capsules they call "scramble" which is highly cut up or a more pure product referred to as "Raw" sold in sandwich bag corners. Haven't been down there in a long time though so im not positive if its still like that. So it's different there as in Florida but i know for a fact that Delware gets Stamp Bags, so maybe Viginia too.

I saw i a Netflix documentary that Baltimore is still very much like that

Spent several years chasing the tarry black dragon and not once did I ever hear even the idea that there were brand names for this stuff in other regions

I guess naming black tar would be akin calling your Pinto by name as though it were a Lexus


Why does the I heroin on the East Coast have brand names and sound classy? it is just scary trashy here in the southwestern part of the country and not I would pity the fool who tried to name their stank ass black deathy substance

Not sure if any of y'all are dumb like me and and attempted to smoke that shit while on Suboxone ... just to find that I had a weird scratchy throat pain that I had been previously of because of the... Well... Heroin.

That has kind of stuck with me

I really cannot believe that there are people out there naming their heroin as though they were trying to win this year's fucking Cannabis Cup

crack usually doesn’t even come in a baggie. certainly not a glass tube. in my previous town, same with heroin. you just put your hand out and they drop however many chunks you paid for into your palm. if it was powdery, it would be folded into lotto tickets or pages of coupon mailers.

one good part is its easy to eat or toss if the cops run down.

yup, i did not want my crack in a baggie. unless i was getting a larger amount. for heroin i would bring an empty 35mm film canister to drop it into. because you could accidentally crush chunks of heroin in your fist. also sometimes dealers would be selling powdery and not have it prewrapped, so if you didn’t have your own method theyd pick garbage paper off the ground to use.

A dealer ran up to my car one day and I saw him look down the street with a look of terror in his eyes, as I then noticed the cop coming towards us in his cruiser. The dealer ripped the bill out of my hand and threw the crack iny car. Luckily it landed on my seat and I was able to swallow it.

This is all totally off topic but another time a cop hit his lights behind me and a friend, after we had just copped. Instead of swallowing the crack, my friend starts furiously pounding it out of a can pipe and then proceeded to smash the can. The cops tore the car apart, while saying they could smell it....lol... I couldn't believe he had to start hitting the crack with them pulling us over. We were so lucky

We had stamps in Florida back in the late 90's. They came from a dealer who was Greyhounding it from NY. The glassine stamps were horrible for the dope however because of Florida humidity. The dope would get all wet and sticky. It didn't last for very long before the method was changed.

Good Lord hitting a crack pipe while getting pulled over just might be one of the craziest stories of getting pulled over I've ever heard

what a jackass and a disorganized system. in cinci, dope boys always know where the cops are. you walk up and they say keep walking. 15 seconds later a cruiser rounds the corner.

I seriously wish I wasn't a green lighter so I could react to this ????

Me and some friends were pulled over rolling on MDMA and my dumb friend admitted to being on X. The cops fucked with us the whole time they tore the car apart.

While frisking us... "Don't get too excited and start rubbing all over each now "

"Do these blue and red strobbing lights bother you guys?"

Other cop "Hell nah, they love these lights."...lol .. I have now totally derailed the thread.. ??? True story

Haha that's hilarious I got fucked with kind of by a cop outside of a rave on ecstasy once as well
But we were walking on the sidewalk just approaching the front door for this thing and he pulls up in front of us and cuts off our route and gets out and asks us what we're doing in my obviously he knows what we're doing we're about to walk into a rave with loud music pounding covered in candy

He kind of asked if any of us had any ecstasy and actually none of us did cuz we've already eaten it
so we just all kind of said "no" without hesitating especially because of the sudden randomness of the situation
but afterward he just kind of asked us again with almost a half smiling joking demeanor, and when we said no again he just kind of said all right and immediately got into his car just drove the fuck away without much as a second look ?

like in the damn 80's it was blizzards of coke and precipitating crack in the u.s. of 'merk. lot's of coka in the 90's a bit. i think heroine is way too
stepped on. especially now that everything is depleting. i would like to smoke some heroine but it's not real anyway it's always has to have the junk. if thats even realistic, i don't know. do you want me to get out of your thread ?

but yes, they would just stand there with not lying, orange glowing construction vests on so you coukd see them and hand you the bag full of rocks.
just kind of line up in the line of cars like in the drive through windows. was great for lunchbreaks for many specially every fuckinbody.
anyway thats when coke was allowed around.

the bubble burst and everything is seedy and full of junk. so i would just pay attention to the stamps. i would love to smoke but i wouldn't even trust that. but i'm a finicky fucking snooty cunt about everything. ♡
(couldn't find a smiley) have a nice day. enjoy.

i guess i should find something to make me less 'merka depressed. thanks.

fuqs happening to the world all over. sad.

 

[Hylight]

g'morning ! !! !

 

[LIE495]

The stamps/names are a regional thing, mostly in the north east. I never seen anything else but stamps except when buying in larger amounts, then it's usually in rock form.

 

[Hylight]

everything's black out here in the west all the way to seattle/portland up to Vancouver can.
tar. lots tar that still works.
