Hey Comrades. Its the Spun. Wanted to update my friends on this thread. So I have been smoking gear sporadically but more consistantly lately. I was clean off dope (but not EtOH) for 2 weeks after the early Jan relapse and peak up to Jan 19th I think. Well chipped alittle but then the last week I used 2 days, went 2 days, used 3 days, went 2 days, started to get mild WDs managed by bup. For someone that gets strung out fast my symptoms were low grade. Well gave in tonight. Got brown mex powder, intermediate quality by our standards. On sat got a hard v chunck of tar of good quality- after getting raped by my middle man it actually lasted 3 days with long periods of innability to keep eyes open. Work brike up last 2 days. Felt mild WDs 36 hrs out, bup, then more tonight.
My friend hooked me up with 50 mg of methadone pills- so thats my safety net, sick of this shit.
But rehab out of question- gotta work. So I was gonna ask for advice, but I don't know- well see how I am tommorow. My connecy was ok at first but been getting inevitable diminishing returns. He was selling meth but I think he used more then he sold, now he's always broke.
thats a horrible drug- I used it on this relapse several times- but its hazardous quite euphoric but hazardous and it turns people scandolous- can't see why its more acceptable in Aus than gear.
So anyway, trying to stop this before it gets worse, but the high from gear- the homecoming feeling that snags you... well my connect thats really a middleman- he is giving me less and less for my $- way overpriced- practically paying Hawaii prices- but quality is usally unstanding- clear black/ grey trail, floral taste, strong high (but remeber still somewhat of a chipper). But I know the taste of good dope.
Now after the kick down he gets when I score he wants me to help him move stuff to storage- he peranoid to go out. Lives downtown and has warrants and alot of the cops know he aledgedly- by the way I live 45 minutes from his house- i feel bad for the dude but thats beyond rediculous and i told him. He asked I drop money off on way to work (at 5:00 am- I told him no in uncertain terms. Man I'm a sucker and sofety but thats rediculous.)
I could find a better connect but want to get out of the game. Hell I could go an extra half hour to open air Tijuana like a shitload of dopefiends do here but i really dont want to do that- like going to Iraq to score and if I have dope to bring home- waiting 1 hous to walk across- I'll have to smoke in line so i don't lose my mind...lol.
Anyway, I brought up drugs, inc from nat geo. Some factoids.... Detroit has a huge heroin, coke, crack scene. There are whole districts of abandoned buildings... enough open space to occupy San Francisco. Ask yourselves, what state has the biggest gear per capita. Answer to follow (suprizing). Hawaii has the biggest meth scene (no suprise). Small dope scene- tar from mex. The price is $40-$60 gram on the mainland. In Hawaii its about $240/ gram for gear. In detroit heroin is called Blow, the police are rare because of low tax base so drug dealers and the US border patrol are involved in law enforcement. With all the abandoned areas the border patrol patrols large parts of the shore line. Canada is across the detroit river. Apparently there is some tar, mostly colombian dope, but also as a rarity alot of SE Asian gear (probably crossing over from Canada.)
New Orleans has thrived as a drug destination after the Katrina. When people left alot of them made good connections in places like Huston as refugees. Coke, Cannabis and to a lesser extent heroin are the big drugs. White squatters called gutter punks moved there a few months after. Still places to squat. More independent dealers- better quality. One gutter punk related that after Katrina there were pill bottles of Rx drugs in the streets and medicine cabinets of abadoned buildings. They would take adderal, other amphetamines to make "amphetamine fudge" to work to steal copper from condemed buildings to buy coke.
Anyway, Alaska has the biggest heroin scene of the 50 states now. An estimated 3% of the population of ancorage, the lasrgest city have habits!
Elsewhere in the USA, Puerto Rico has a huge scene. I think they said 1 out of 5 people either use drugs or are strung out. There are all kind of dope spots through the Island. And alot of dope goes through there, once unloaded its on US soil so it can get to the mailand without customs. Alot of coke goes through there then on to the US mainland. The heroin stays. And there is a pecularity- a drug called "Anesthesia" or Xalazine. A vet drug. Acoording to the video it gets people fucked up- used with gear and sometimes coke as a combo. The kick is supposed to be worse than dope. It is a "horse traqulizer but not Ketamine like- its actually an alpha 2 agonist (like clonidine) but more selective. Used in horses for castrations and dental procedures- but again people on it look like they are on PCP- all fucked up or like they drank a bottle of vodka. Gnarly tropical abscesses area big problem in that territory.
New York was ok- have elite drug dealers for affluent, delivery services, ect... LA- Hollywood was the emphasis- talked about doctors for the stars- parts of the city that have huge volumes of meth, coke, and gear going throgh as well as cannabis- commerce, CA- major hub. Now they were saying the worst quality drugs go to Hollywood and its wannabes..lol. Went into some detail over the 1,000 cannabis dispesaries in the city and had one "illegitimate dealer gripping."
I'll leave out Montana and Las Vegas I missed. They had an episode from last year on crack- was cool to see how coke is made in the jungles and highlands of Peru.
And the last thing I wanted to mention- the last and only international episode. They start out with the high end partying. Discuss areas like the square mile/city of London, east end, west end, and Camden (which they intimate is a happening part of London. Anyway it starts out with a dealer who calls himself "the postman" that says he only gets supper quality coke and sells it to affluent clientel- actors, musicians, TV presenters, Sheiks, Marquises, Dukes, Lords and ladies, ect...who knows if hes talking shit- says they rely on his discretion and quality. Hands cola over in cellphone... calles an 1/8 OZ a Henry (as in the VIII) and a quarter a "farmers daughter. Then they interview and guy the fixes deal between British crime syndicates and the colombians.
I had 2 big suprises- they barely mentioned heroin and E. And 2 cannabis was characterized as being a working class drugs which in the states in cutts across all class boundaries.
The episode gave the impression that coke use was on a large scale among the upper and middle class- it seemed like a fad, 250,000 users in London. So where is the E, gear, GHB, ket- did this episode leave drugs out, or not give a complete picture.
they try
Trippy to see alot of Brits involved in the drug trade, more minorities in San Diego although that has changed here as rich kids from the suburbs have gone to TJ to pick up OZs and sell them to their peers- I think they trying to be coll and hard - lame. Its become such a fad down here in the last 5 years- heroin anonymous is like a fashion show
By the way it just started hailing hard here in southern CA. Anyway, I wonder how acurate this is. Is coke realy huge in the London scene. They were talking about 100 ponds/ G for the normal coke and 200 plus quid for elite guy's supper coke. So I hope I didn't bore you guys with the info. The shows are entertaining- I think- if you can watch them.
Anyway hope I don't step across the line of being a chipper to dopefiend- never had this dilema. Always went all out using daily for months. But this chipping fucks with your head. Anyone have any info on chipping advice? Know everyones different. Need to get outta the game but have been drinking consistantly since relapse- thats worse than gear, maybe marginally better than meth (lots of Euphoria and can fuck for over 12 hours on that drug if you can keep it up- sleep during kick and it actually takes dope sickness away for a few hours.) Almost hooked up with a girl when I was smoking ovr dudes places- beautiful 20 something with long black hair. Glad I didn't since I'm married but its such a fucking prosexual drug- worse than alcohol but your lucid even if your thinking takes a bizarre turn. Even though I'm writting like I've been tweaking I'm not. We'll see how I do tommmorow- will provide an update and condensed version.
Thanks, Your cousin from the Land of The Free (more like enslaved)- Spun
