I live right by the San Fernando Valley and have encountered also about three or four kinds of dope.
One kind usually comes in little squares of plastic and then tied off in double balloons. This kind is usually a lighter brown in color, soft, and malleable. (usually decent... perhaps even "Primo" *wink* )
Then... there's the connect that anyone who lives in the 818 or near it has gone through, because he practically advertises his number on billboards (not literally, but the equivalent). If you call a .8 a "bear" and have to park waiting with a crowd of other cars to cop then you know what I'm talking about.
Another kind is black, rock hard, a little flaky, and cooks up smelling a bit sweet and little black chunks tend to appear in the liquid. (shit.)
Another kind is just powder. All brown powder, which of course makes it easy to cut. This brown powder has been both some of the best and some of the worst I've had. When it hits the water, you can immediately see the real dope start to dissolve while the rest needs a lot of heat to begin to break down. Depending how much real shit is in there it can be pretty potent. A lot of people breathe on it to get it to clump together into the more familiar hunk of tar. Depending on how cut it is, it will either come together quickly or take forever.
And then there's what I get now... even the best source I've ever had before this, I'd only rate a 9. I rate my current source easily a 10 or an 11. His stuff is either the powder, or the solid -- in appearance it's not immediately different from anyone else's stuff... but... In my opinion, it's as good as tar gets. I would love to know if tar gets better than this, but over the last 4 years I haven't encountered anything better or anyone that can provide it as consistently. I mean... before he settled on whatever source he has now, he got bad stuf a few times and actually took returns. I've never had a source take returns and exchanges before... anyway, this isn't the "rate-your-source" thread... (is there one?) but yeah. That's what I've encountered around here.
Thats what sucks about the brown powder, the real old school #4 brown powder that has been around for 50+ years, and is or was formerly available in Chicago and Kansas City in the late 70's and early 80's.the mexican brown made up 80-90% of all the powder in Chicago in those days, but since then Colombian heroin and tar has been more prevalant most places, powder almost only in Chicago..Anyway if the dealers would not cut the brown powder so much they could make more money, by selling it for a little more money than tar, and could even sell the brown powder on the East Coast, if it was pure enough that is.I imagine that Mexican Heroin Producing groups will start to make more #4 brown powder or a off white #4 Colombian style of heroin to sell all over the east coast, and of course still make tar to sell wherever it will be bought..lol. At least that's what I heard that some Mexican heroin labs are getting some help from chemists from Asia or Colombia to help them produce a higher quality whiteish heroin in the next few years, but who knows..
