As memebers of the bluelight community we have a responsibility to provide credibile information. Doing the best to insure the veracity of our posts is essential to for harm reduction in general.
I have another agenda- I believe in the world wide struggle against the drug war and drug prohibition. This is the greatest lie and human rights violation predating a whole shitload of genocides. The whole agregate of human suffering eclipses other Crimes Against Humanity commited over the last century- 100 years has added up- China, The Phillipeans, Thailand, the "Free World", ect... have all commited attrocities in thsi war were the end user- the obes on the civilian side are the real losers.
Davis K has posted a number of interesting stuff- I suspect, he, like me has a peculiar morbid curiosity in the topic of the US and World drug markets and players.
To end prohibiyion we have to engage in a revolutionary struggle at some level. Providing info and non violent tools are the methods I prefer. We have to counter the lies of the Narcoswine with truth.
Being that this is a world wide struggle thats why I'm into solidarity with our counterparts in Europe, Africa/ Asia )the ameller contingent, Australia, and NZ. These are our revoluyionary brothers and sisters. This 100 year old lie has ingrained itself in our social fabric thats using the truth as a weapon is a first step.
For me, ending the drug war is the greatest form of harm reduction. On EADD, they have cooler, more laid back rules on pricing and availability. In Oz- I was curious and started a thread han or feb wondering if their was a frought and where the heroin comes from. I was cautioned it would soon be closed because it was breaking their sourcing rules. When I asked please just describe the color, iy was shut buy I was politely advised to PM someone. Got insifficient info= know they had several droughts of various magnitudes. There rules are there rules- plus meth is the big drug in Aus/NZ. NZ has homeback. I suspect they get burmese mostly and some afghani, Finally told "lnoe droughy in Perth." Bit still havent gotten clear answer.
South Africa is tweak (tik) and qualude (mandrax country. Heroin info is spotty and the E I heard sucks.
By the way in the bay area, at my clinic there were persians that new people that jad friends bringing in small amount of heroin mostly and opium that had developed habots before leaving Iran. In Fresno- a hyge Hmong community- when I courtesy dosed at the clinic in line. Apparently there is a small network that imports opium through the mail or otherwise. They have had a hard time being penetrated by LEOs in the Bay Area, Fresno, or cities in the midwest. They are a peculiarity in the US opiate scene.
My post is starting to soind like the national geographic of dope. Took a boat ride aroind new York- were in the Lower eastside and were going to hang in the Easr Village bit she invited herself along and talked us into doing the boat tour of Manhattan. I had thought Washungton Heights is the typ of Manhattan bit there is Inglewood, I think, thats farther uptown. Apparently its one of the few places somehat affordable rest of the city one needs digits I've heard and I havent seen evidence of an open dope scene even in Spanish harlem were we went after central park to score killer coal fire NY Pizza yeasterday. Saw people that maybe looked like in the game- would bet you need digits and an intro.
Thats one of the great services that hookers provide- hooking up customers
to facilitate in putting something together so you find dope in a city your not from.

At a cost but more reliable than homeless dopefiends in my limiyed experience.
