Foreign Drug Scenes

Checz republib must be a paradise, they decriminanilized drugs recently, you can have for comsumption 2 grams of hero or coke, besides that "pervitin" labs in Europe are mostly in that country.
 
If you can get Ice aka meth why synthesize methcathinone?

Hear hear. Try being in SE QLD (no, not Brissy). Gah. Good luck getting anything without a good contact. Luckily, I have one: no street dealers for me.

Most of the drugs we do in this scene are standard pharms (Codeine [chuckles a little], Oxycontin, Diazepam, Tempazepam), Ice, MDMA (pure through my contact), and weed. That's about it.

My circle of friends stick to pharms, although we've recently been offered H as well as Opium itself which has us interested. Mostly, we stick to things that we know we're getting. I'm the chemist usually: possibly going to try and synth methcathinone very soon. Basically, unless we know exactly where it came from (pharms, or if we make it ourselves, or our very good contact), we don't touch it.

If you have crystal meth aka Ice then why waste the precursor chems to make methcathinone,as it is ephedrine or psudoephedrine that has been through an oxidation reaction versus meth which is mad eusing a reduction of pseudos or ephedrine as you must know,,methcathinone is a poor substitute for methamphetamine ,I have had both and I say make meth not methcathinone if you are gonna make some drugs like that...lol.
 
We were able to bring back a 3 month suppl yof pharms from mexico

I'm not sure about the mexican border towns south of california, but I think they're all about the same. I was in a border town pretty recently, it's very, very dangerous. Interior Mexico is still reasonably safe, but the border is not. Tijuana I know is very bad, but the worst is Juarez. The cops are at war with the cartels or on the side of the cartels, but the cartels have control of some cities (Juarez is one, maybe Tijuana too). The military presence is pretty heavy along the border, but not as much once you get a few miles into Mexico. The pharmacies are still operating, it's probably safe to just pop into a town right along the border, but do it during the day and I wouldn't advise going to Tijuana, I'd go for one of the smaller towns. That's not counting the danger of drug trafficking charges if you get caught bringing pills from pharmacies back to the US. I highly advise not staying in a border town, but the interior is still cool.

When I went to Mexico we were allowed to bring back a 3 month supply of pharms across the border,although it was xanax normally,no schedule 2 or 3 usually,,fuck we could declare it at the customs office ,that was 10 years ago and in El paso on the pedestrian bridge into juarez...You would not catch me in a broder city these days and even many resort citys are not safe,as your US passport is more valuable than your cash or to most your life!!
 

Hey rachamim, I'll be going to manila in a few weeks. Is it generally safe to buy stuff off the streets (specifically weed, mdma and ice and maybe coke) like in cambodia or do you have to know the right people?

Speaking of which, cambodia is a pretty easy place to score. I went last year and, though the lake was demolished, there's still a thriving open air market next to where the lake used to be. You just walk down the street and the tuck-tuck drivers will make the weed signal (pretend to smoke a joint), if you want to buy you get in the tuk-tuk and they show you the goods (weed, coke, opium, h and ice). I must have looked pretty nervous because they kept telling me to relax and that "it's OK". They're pretty nice for drug dealers too. Afterwards they bought me a beer and some rolling papers. Judging from what I've been hearing, though I suspect I got ripped off - I paid $50 for a 1/4 gram of h (still the best h I've ever had mind) and no pricingfor a sack of shitty weed. Later on I paid no pricing for about 100mg of the purest ice I've ever had. I also got ripped off paying no pricing for a bag of useless inert powder from some teen who actually took me to his house for the deal.

I've been in Busan, South Korea for the past 6 weeks, and there is almost no drug abuse, even among college students. I've heard that the bud is shitty and 5 times as expensive as in the States. Mostly people just drink. IME pharmacists cannot be easily bribed; this is not a 3rd world country. I think in Seoul there are lots of foreigners' clubs and bars where there are more drugs available, possibly club drugs/uppers, but that is mostly speculation on my part.

I considered going to the bad part of town to try my luck, but decided against it as I have only a very rudimentary grasp of the language, and it would be difficult to know who to ask in any case. Korea is almost 100% ethnically Korean. Hate to say it, but the ethnic diversity (and poverty falling along those ethnic lines) in the US makes it much easier to find open air markets.

Hey... I'm Korean-Japanese-American and I've been to both Korea and Japan many times... seriously, don't even bother looking. Even in the slums you won't find it. If you hang out w/ certain rock band guys and they trust you enough they might hook you up w/ weed, but it's bound to be shitty and pot possession in Korea is a crazy heavy charge, up to ten years or shit like that. Totally not worth it. Clubs where lots of expats and Korean kids who go to school in America hang out when they're home for vacation, you might come across some X if you are lucky... but again, ain't gonna be good stuff, expensive, and if you get caught charges will be ridic. Gangs there apparently deal with meth, but I've never known anyone to use it or seen it, only hearsay and news articles... why do you think Koreans drink so much? Haha.

Crazy thing is, up until early 90's they didn't have prescription system at all so you could get any legal drugs you wanted to without scripts... totally different story now.

Pretty much same situation in Japan, I used to work for a rock promoter who booked shows in Japan and bands were always complaining they couldn't find shit there. I warned them...

For the most part Far East Asia (not including Southern Asia, obviously) is gonna be pretty grim. Even in China you gotta go all the way to Southern China and even then if you're a foreigner you're probably shit outta luck... but I'll admit I've only been to China twice and not super familiar with it.

P.S. Edited to say Asian doctors, even those in America (if they were born in Asia) are notoriously stingy w/ painkillers, so I wouldn't try that route either...
 
So Bali Indonesia.
Magic mushrooms available in certain parts of kuta in smoothies or apparently whole aswell. Seemed legit from the people I met who had taken them.

Every second person on the street in the main tourist district wants to sell you weed, ephedrine, or viagra. It seemed that many if not most of the ephedrine tablets were fakes so I could only assume that the other pills would also be counterfeits.

Lots of bunk ecstacy tablets for sale but I met some people who had come across the real deal. There was some 2-ct-7 doing the rounds in the club scene that was legit.

Also the pharmacies were more restricted than I had been led to believe.

On the whole I would recommend staying away unless you know someone over there especially considering the penalties are fairly harsh. Proceed with caution.
 
If I can make a very sweeping generalization, Asia is a part of the world where you really have to be connected and know the right people to be able to find and use illicit drugs without major risk. It isn't that people there don't use drugs -- there are drug users among all humanity. But the social and legal penalties of being labeled a drug user in most Asian cultures are so stiff, that most people who do them or sell them keep that part of their life well hidden to all but their tightest and most trusted friends.

Granted, I have used my share of drugs in Asia (both northeast and southeast). But I was either too young and dumb to realize the risk I was taking in seeking them out, or I happened to fall in with the right crowd, and be trusted enough by them.

I hear Cambodia and the Philippines might be exceptions (I've never been to either), but all in all, not the part of the world to be a drug tourist.
 
My nan died a few days ago & im due to get a fair few £'s in the next month or two.

i was looking into a worldwide drug tour tbh kinda like south amercia for yage, bolivia for the coke, holland for the weed, laos/cambodia for the heroin or maybe pakistan.

this thread gonna give me a good read over the next day.

i was speaking to a mate off here last night (blind helper monkey) and he said about the heroin market in india, they pay £3-£5 for a gram of what they call "brown sugar" it comes wrapped in straw & its around 70% then they also have white heroin but thats a bit too much for me tbh.

anyone know of any heroin markets in india, the laws etc & if what he was told on bluelight about this brown sugar is true or just another phantom forum lie.

any advice about good places to visit, really £'s aint a issue i got £10,000 coming to me i deffo want to go to Peru for some amazon yage but apart from that im open minded.
 
I don't know much about drug scenes besides the U.S. and Eastern Europe... The main difference is that finding shit in Eastern Europe is tricky. Most of cannabis and hash comes from Afghanistan, rarely you get stuff homegrown by some hippies. Heroin comes from middle east too. Users are found in every major town. But in terms of raves and psychedelics it's even worse.. Only big cities, only through good connection. 90% of the drug trade is controlled by organized crime :(
 
I live in Amsterdam, the netherlands and I know both the law and the situation pretty well, so here's a description.


'Legal' drugs:
Cannabis, weed and hash are sold in stores named coffeeshops, which is a pretty well known fact I guess. Its not actually legal and its produced illegaly but its legal to sell and buy in stores. Its also very openly smoked, before the smoking ban in pubs and bars too, on the street, in parks; there is really no enforcement against that of any kind. The current gouvernment unfortunately isn't too happy with the coffeeshops claiming 'drug tourism' caused by them causes problems, which isn't true. Because of that they now want to bring in a 'weed-card' which is a membership card for coffeeshops that only dutch citizens can get, even in Amsterdam, which Amsterdam and everyone in it is pissed off about. Weed use is very populair in all age groups and there is not múch social stigma, even some school teachers and bosses are pretty much ok with it if its 'done in your free time'.
Smart shops used to sell magic mushrooms until 2007 and typically RC's until they get banned. They now still have one type of mushrooms that was overlooked in the ban that contains psilocin but looks a bit different, also they still sell grow kits so mushrooms are still easily and legally optained even though they have been banned. These shops also sell salvia.
Over the counter not a lot of good stuff is going on I think, there is codeine containing cough syrop with no other drugs in it and ofcourse DXM but nothing fancy.

Illegal drug scene
One great detail is that we have anonymous drug testing available, you can go there, give them a sample of the drug you have (like one pill, one hit of lsd, bit of powder) and they send it to a lab where its tested for contents and purity and you can phone for the results, and its even free.
Overal; seriously very decent. Some overal trends first; mdma, cocaine and amphetamine are probably most common and populair. They are used at clubs, parties, raves somewhat openly depending on the event but some events have zero tolerance, I have no experience with zero tolerance parties but appearantly they're pretty strict on those. Overal the law is mild, they're not actively searching for use, and if you're caught high but with nothing on you you can't get in trouble, small amounts won't get you in trouble, medium amounts but no dealing gets you fines and dealing gets in prison. In order of how common they appear to be:

mdma: Found at raves, both legal and illegal and clubs, very common, also in a more mainstream crowd, probably the most populair illegal drug. Until +- 2006 quality was high but it has dropped recently and more mcPP and other crap containing pills show up. Crystal pure mdma is available but only though underground networks, meaning if you don't know the right people you'll never see it, there appears to be plenty of it though.
cocaine: I don't know much about the scene, only that its seriously common and a lót of people turn to do cocaine. I believe its one of the few drugs where buying of the street it somewhat common, but I don't know the details.
speed: Really quite common too, same scenes as mdma, but more underground. The only speed used is normal amphetamine and dex-amphetamine, meth doesn't exist in the Netherlands, no one seems to do it. Quality of speed is typically not that wonderful, 30-40% pure.
LSD (and other illegal psychedelics) A lot of people claim its rare, but it really isn't. The only thing is that LSD goes through underground networks only and is only seriously common in a few scenes. I must add that permanent autonomous zones exist where LSD is easily available and openly used but no one is getting any details. In some scenes its seriously everywhere and on those parties you just have to ask the first or second person you happen to talk to and you will find LSD, or if you live here you probably found the network soon enough.
Ketamine Similair story for LSD, only a different scene. Is usually pure or almost pure, usually racemic or S ketamine. Its actually nót on the 'opium list', just on the medicin list, still you're breaking the law if you have it and aren't a vet or doctor or for some odd reason managed to get a prescription. Doesn't mean its hard to find though, again only at some parties of certain scenes and underground networks.
RC's: Relatively common, through internet ordering and also for the illegal ones through the networks that most stuff is sold through.

I don't really know about heroin, I don't really see any usage of it at all anywhere, except for the homeless junkies at the train stations, where its appearantly also sold. Seems uncommon; party drugs are much much more common and more openly used.

I do think that unless you are in the right scene of raves/parties or know dutch friends that use harddrugs (not-weed drugs) it might actually be not the easiest tast to find drugs but if you live here for a while you'll notice its pretty big overal.



----------------

Two other countries I have experience with are the UK and Portugal. For the UK; it appears weed is as easily optainable and widely used as it is here, only its a bit less publicly smoked but still other then you have to phone someone for weed instead of go to a store its not that different. The biggest difference I noticed is that they have less psychedelic drugs there and more heroin. There appears to be no heroin users over here but there they are seriously everywhere and its much more common. Other then that I think the differenc eisn't use.

Portugal has great, great hash and the only time I was there was on a hippie festival, which isn't the best judging of a country, bút there was no enforcement against selling or using drugs ón that festival, which was a legal festival with security and entry fee's and all that stuff, so if portugal has thát I guess is can't be bad. They also have a law that decriminalizes posession of small amounts and usage, and I was able to openly smoke a joint on the lissabon airport without any problems.

Guess all of europe is pretty much alike.
 
i spent 2 1/2 months in europe over the summer. cities in france, netherlands, belgium, spain, portugal, andorra (here you might have trouble), and italy. you can buy drugs in just about any city by just walking through the right area and making eye contact. it's a shitty but quick way to buy drugs. "hashish, speed, coca." if you are determined, you can even get nugs. only time i ever heard "dope" was talking to a hobo--that was never included in the quick lists dealers would run off. it's weird; people in the street always want trade numbers after you score, which is sketchy and unnecessary because they'll be in the same place the next day/night.

in spain, some of the guys we got hash from had their stash buried in the ground. you would tell them how much, and they go dig it up for you. actually the best hash we got, but the priciest too.

ibiza was crazy. people would walk up to you and try to sell you crack and 6 oclock at night and 6 olcock am (not the morning in ibiza). people go out for two days in a row--as in non-stop, 48 hours. prostitutes trying to grab your arm as you crawl back to your hotel at 7 am. near naked, coked-out, 20-something, british girls everywhere. everyone is going after the same finger-full of pill imprints that have a good rep. none of the others count for shit; if you tell a dealer you want blank, he'll desperately offer you some other imprint at an absurdly low price. there are even knock offs of the popular ones. the really good ones can be obtained at extremely reasonable prices though. green rockstars were amazing.

in france you can get codeine/ethylmorphine pills with nothing else in them at the pharmacies. cheap. no hassle whatsoever. "tussipax," said two-see-packs. if you say it any other way, they have no idea what you are talking about. dont forget to stock-up on saturday, as the pharmacies are all closed on sundays.

i always thought japan would have club drugs like mdma and ketamine, and of course speed. maybe coke too. and hash more likely then buds. as for the opiate types i would have assumed it would be opium. i always thought opium would be more prevalent in the asian areas.

shrugs i guess im wrong.
 
I still don't get why Manila is supposedly devoid of opiates. I mean, sure, the penalties are outrageous but the penalties are outrageous for other drugs as well. Take shabu for instance, if you deal any amount it's an automatic life sentence.

I forget whether I've posted this already but I've been living in Manila for the past few months. Shabu, as rachamin said, is readily available. I go through a ton of middlemen though so I pay a lot (2500 pesos = 50us) per baggie. Not sure how much is in a baggie, though.

Weed is also available but most of the time it's shitty brick week. Gets the job done, though.

Coke can be found - it's really expensive but IMO it's worth the price. It's the best coke I've ever had hands down and I've had some fire in my day.

I've been looking for opiates but my dealer can't seem to find any. I asked for china white and got coke instead. I'm also looking for mushrooms and xtc.
 
I have never come across an open air drug market with dealers calling out whatever they are selling here in the uk. Over here its all done by mobile phones usually, you make the call and a runner will bring out yr order or you call and arrange a place to meet yr dealer. Most dealers I know only deal with people they know. Things may be different in the big cities but that's how it works in my town.
I wish we had dealers out at all times selling their wares in the street as would make scoring a lot quicker and easier.
 
^ Depends what kinda drugs you're buying - but street drug dealers almost exclusively are a rip-off, ringing up your dealer is MUCH safer, if you can go round their yard, often you can see it weighed up in front of you and also have a look at it before you buy.

On the street - it's pot luck, which is stupidity.

I always buy my shit at someone's home unless I have known the person for a while, and THEN we can do business in public places discreetly, as quality control is not an issue.
 
I would imagine Australia has a very similar scene to the US. We have different lingo and obviously, availability/prices of certain things is different. Drugs are everywhere in most of the capital cities though.

Drug's are everywhere period
 
What is the current situation on the drug scenes in Cambodia, Laos, and/or India?

What about Europe- in particular the countries outside The UK/Ireland- I'm posting this question on behalf of the people suffering from the drought? Brown starting to return in any of these countries?

How is The outdoor scenes in Montreal or Vancouver- is the Eastside scene still booming in the latter?

What about TJ- know that kids still cross the border despite the dangers- whats the latest?

Emphasis on this question is on the opiate scenes but insider info concerning other drug classes, the scene- LEOs, dangers, ect...would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

My cousin wants to visit most places you've mentioned above just for the drugs & legal prostitution in some.
 
Well I'm from Massachusetts originally, but have traveled extensively all over Europe. I lived in the Czech Republic for a while though, so Prague's drug scene is what I'm most knowledgeable on.

First of all, I'd probably consider it the most cannabis tolerant place I've been, and I've seen quite a bit of the world. As opposed to in Amsterdam, I never had a problem smoking a joint walking down the street. I've walked by police doing it, the cops there just don't seem to give a fuck what you do if you're not hurting anyone(which is exactly the way it should be). However there's no coffeeshops like in the Netherlands. You have to one way or another find a source. The odds are the bud is gonna be pretty good though, hash is also widely available.

Meth is really popular, Czechs call it Pervitin, which was an old brand name of methamphetamine. I saw people with some a few times that was bright orange, like the color of a Suboxone. Didn't ever see and quality glass. Although I didn't really hunt it out, I did it twice the whole time I was there, and saw it maybe twenty.

Lots of decent MDMA, 2000Czk/g(about $80 when I moved there before the dollar went to shit). Pills were about $6-8 and the odds of random ones being decent are far better than in the US. The coke quality was pretty good, but 2000-2500Czk/g($80-100).

Now opiates/opioids are by far my DOC, but I never did any the whole time, none of my friends were into them so I have no idea about price or anything. I looked for a little while for dope, then just gave up on it. Beer became my DOC during my time in the Czech Republic.

It's by far my favourite country of all I've been to.

I was just about to post this and forgot to mention one of the biggest things about the Czech drug scene, personal use quantities of every drug are decriminalized. The personal use limits are

weed - 15g
hash - 5g
H - 1.5g
coke - 1g
methamphetamine - 2g
4 rolls, 5 hits of acid, and 40 mushrooms(the law doesn't say anything about the size, it just says 40 pieces of mushrooms)
 
So Bali Indonesia.

Been to Bali and it's very scary to try and buy drugs because you never know if it's a cop or a snitch for a cop. The only people I trusted where other foreigners there. A lot of Australians, some Americans and Canadians I met. But I was able to get heroin and speed (through some Aussies who knew the scene real well in Bali). Of course, I also looked for nimetazepam but there was no success (well I got "nimetazepam", but they turned out to be bunk pills). I was able to get a hold of the "jelly" variety of temazepam, but they turned out to be bunk pills also. I think they were diphenhydramine or something. I did manage to get some diazepam and clonazepam, but those were the only benzos I got that were real.

How is The outdoor scenes in Montreal or Vancouver- is the Eastside scene still booming in the latter?

Yes, I've always heard of Vancouver being the "Drug Capital of North America" - they say the Eastside is an entire slum similar to a third world country. Full of heroin, crack cocaine, crystal meth, and all kinds of benzos and other drugs. From what I've read, the property crime in Vancouver is one of the highest in all of North America and on par with Detroit, St. Louis, etc.
Violent crime is lower, but as a city, Vancouver is much more dangerous than Seattle (which is the closest major American city to Vancouver)
