@Thattoh
@jspun, always enjoy reading your posts. Both you and Charlie are the two people I would love to meet and go on a worldwide opioid tour with, I'd imagine it would be one hell of a ride.
Gonna try and check out the drugs inc. program's you mention but u don't think they are available on the uk nat geo site, have to do a bit of illegal downloading.
As for here in St Helens the nice gear that was going around just before Xmas has been stamped on, you feel it but after a hour it's gone. Fuckin hate shit head dealers, greedy thick as fuck twats who don't realise that nicer gear will sell better than when it's been danced all over. Anyway they are going to be told again today!! One day they may listen.
Sorry for the late response. Lets pack our bags mate. You me and Charlie on the opium trail.%) Thanks for the kind words about my posts. Sometimes, as any of the regulars will atest to they can get prety loquacious and go on and on. Keeping concise is my great challenge.
Charlie, your advice is good. Yea, Aleister Crowley is one of my favorite authors.
Diary of a Drug Fiend was great, a period piece that all us dope fiends can relate to. Today, I called my new friend. I am buying stuff at overinflated prices. He lives in an upstair addict- small place in downtown San diego at the edge of the despicable gentrification that turned the adjacent area into cookie cutter wanna be artist lofts. His house is ghetto. But he is a nice guy- a tranplant from the Bronx who lots of stories about the scene there in the 70s-2008. Anyway, you all know what a sucker I am for info about scenes around the world.
Today was gonna be good but got some. He also had some meth. Called it lemon drop- its crystaline powder instead of the more sought after "shards" or "glass" crstaline form. Smoked alittle but it made my heart race- hadn't had my benzos- big mistake.
About the twats, because my hommie was having a problem. I think for most of them, they are addicted to the whole power aspect. And when there is some scarcity, they take advantage because they can. But as the situation improves so does their work ethic or cutomer service, else free market forces crush them.
I hear that in some places stateside, I think Ohio or Chicago is one, when there is a new batch they have passouts- they give out free samples to get people coming back. And one article said that they have a crew- there are shift supervisors and if someone is late delivering they get free dope. Also they handle cutomer complaints.
Unbelievable- there is nothing like this here in SD but I here TJ is similar. My friend was telling me that he was such a good customer (a typically people walk across the border) that he would get an escort back to the border to make sure he got there safe. And using the head of the crew he ws going to at the restaurant that he would cop at was a get out of jail free card with alot of the local law enforcement.
Anyway, I like the people on this thread. You have been like family and very supportive even though I'm a bloody yank. But I'm a yank from CA which is a nicer sort of yank. Not quite the Yanky Noodle Wankers to the extent of some of my country men in other states. Although with like 35 million people California has some wankers too. Schwarzenger was elected governor twice and Jerry Brown was reelected after being governor back in the late 70s. Reagan and Nixon were from this state (Although Reagan did more for the punk movement in the 80s then maybe Maggie Thatcher...lol) And Nixon did help catalyze the post Johnson Hippie movement and his policies contributed to the sex, drugs, rock n roll, and coke/qualuudes disco orgy that was the 70s.
Anyway, another tangent. California is cool. I've been to Europe but not the UK or Eire. But I reasonably say that the average person in Either country is much more progressive, hip, or cool than the average American. But we have pockets of coolness- Northern CA, Oregon, Colorado, Alaska, Northern AZ, Parts of New Mexico, NYC, Boston, New Orleans. But its mostly the Pacific States that are cool. But its always the lame ones that can afford to travel and uphold the loud, crass, and styless stereotypes.
Want to travel to Europe this summer. Might stay in Greece for much of the trip but would like to check out the UK/ Eire/ and some of the continent. Its a long shot because we are short on funds presently but maybe next year. My wife is of British decent and Northern Irish- athough she can trace some of her ancestors to colonial times she has a great aunt that lived in Oxfordshire- so I wouldlike my daughter to become exposed to that side of her heritage. Especially when her mom has 100% ancestry traced to the UK- this is alot rarer than it used to be as America becomes more Pluralistic.
