Heroin in Albuquerque. Beaten and robbed

It all started with a simple trip to albuquerque new mexico. I needed to finish signing up for fall classes at the University of New Mexico, and sign a lease on my new apartment. Of course, buying heroin was on the agenda as well. After doing both, I decided to score. I couldn't find my awesome connect (he doesn't have a phone) As I don't have a solid connection as of now (for heroin at least), I decided to take to the streets to score.

I rolled up to the district where these things are common. Unfortunatly, albuquerque isn't like chicago and you can't just roll up and score. You need to know people who know people. Well, I met one of these people. He said he would score for me if I ran "some errands" with him. So thats what I did. I picked him and his friend up. One was a mexican, the other a black dude. After running some errands (I'll let you infer to what this means), I asked when we were going to score. I got smacked across the back of the head. "We can steal this car in a second, asshole" After much more verbal abuse, I told them that I wanted to drop them off. To this, I got a knife pulled on me.

At this point I was pretty fucking scared. They picked up another dude, who they sold a substance to. He saw my bottles of klonopin and dexedrine, jacked it and ran out of the car and down the street. After more driving around and more errands I told them "I will give you $100 if I can drop you off right now". By this time they forced me to let them drive. He pulled his belt off, wrapped it around my neck and put a gun to the back of my head. "I can make $100 in 10 minutes driving your car. We're not going anywhere."

Well, eventually he scored some heroin and he let me have a little bit (probably a 10 peice). I fixed and shot it, and for the first time in my life, heroin didn't feel like it took all the problems in the world away.

I was thinking to myself what they were going to do when they were done with me. It was obvious they were going to AT THE VERY LEAST steal my car and kick the shit out of me. They could have just as easily killed and dumped me.

Now I had a box of 100 rigs in the car. Fortunatly, that was my ticket to freedom. Someone they were delivering to needed one, and they let me have my car keys to grab a few (under their watchful eye, they were only 5 feet away). I ran to the car, locked the doors, and fucking took off. They ran after me, but I got away, thankfully with my life.

Heroin is a hell of a drug. But albuquerque is a dangerous city. The lesson learned, don't score unless you have a solid connection. Anyway, I plan filing a police report tomorrow so that I can get refills on my kpins and dex.

I'm glad I'm alive.
 
That fucked up shit, but all the same, if I didn't live in albuquerque, I probably wouldnt think of it as a dangerous city. I think a lesson to catch from this is that even if your not in detroit, chicago, LA, whatever the notorious cities are, you can still get fucked up. Look at poughkeepsie, I dont anyone on these boards from around the NYC area but if you go up to poughkeepsie, its no real big city, but its full of heads and thugs, thats all thats there.
 
Heh, well at least they let you fix!

/me is sure glad his D.O.C. comes by way of the guys out there rain, sleet, or snow and not Pedro and his friend Hot Tea w/ Lemon.
 
Your first problem was going to Albuquerque. Actually, going to New Mexico, period. I lived there for 10 years and was never once surprised at the violence, poverty, et al. It's a dump in every sense of the word. They really need to give it back to Old Mexico. I used to score in the park outside of UNM before they tore it down to make the bookstore, and it makes my skin crawl to think of the people I let in my car.

I'm glad to hear you ended up okay, given the possibilities. Think of this as your second chance. Your first action now should be to leave New Mexico.

PS - I fail to see the part in your report where you were "beaten". When did that happen?
 
Albuquerque, NM has got to be one of the biggest fucking cesspools...I have visited 48 or so of the states, and albuquerque, NM seemed to be the most fucked up, dangerous place.

Needless to say, the original poster needs to have a bit more sense--sometimes scoring in random cities is difficult, but not so difficult that you would have taken the risk you took for this.

thankfully, you survived.

My friend is in the airforce and was stationed in Albuquerque NM or nearby and he describes Albuquerque as a glorified truckstop turned city that houses the most diverse collection of scumbags in all the 50 states.

I know what your saying. Im from the area. All I got to say is Newburgh bro. Makes some of the worst nieghborhoods in the Bronx and such look tame.
 
Fuck the "errands". Once I heard that I would have definitely told him I didn't have the time, and if he scored later on he could call me. Remember, you're the one giving up the money. I don't let kids I don't know that have any ties to drugs in my car anymore, nor do I get in cars with them. The second of those got a knife pulled on me once as well, along with losing some personal posessions and an ounce of dank. I got in the car to sell them a quarter supposedly, then ended up getting driven much farther than I wanted to and being told we could do things the easy way or the hard way (knife being held to my chest), with the car positioned in a spot where the driver could have easily stabbed me and shoved me out the back door. I might have fought back but I had no weapon and there were two other pretty big guys in the car other than the driver. Moral of the story: don't get manipulated by shady fuckin kids. You make the rules. You have the cheese they need.

^LMAO. I mean, the reality of what you're saying isn't funny. It's pretty damn humbling..most people that don't live in areas like this have no clue just how bad a lot of this country is.. Random pockets here and there on the map that you might as well label a 3rd world nation....right here in the US. I dunno. It was just the way you said it that was hilarious.

No one in my car that I can't kick their ass or give them an awefully hard time!

They have to smell good too!
 
shit happens in New Mexico, enough said.

i've had something similar happen to myself. although i lived north of santa fe in espanola. that place puts new meaning on fucked up place to live.
 
i picked up a guy at one spot when the spot was out of dope and drove him to buy me some at another spot - probably the dumbest thing i have ever done, but it all went smoothly and i got my dope.
 
That sucks man... I've picked up drunk bums to buy me alcohol before because I'm a few years underage and I know that sounds low... but luckily I never had any bum that gave me a hard time. all they wanted was 5$ and a shot of vodka i'd usually give them like 10 shots in a water bottle just to be nice though...
 
I've only taken one random junkie on "errands" once.

Fuck that shit. I'm lucky all I lost was my 45 bux.
 
Treat a car like your house - never let anyone in that you don't trust, no matter what they promise. Also as someone said, you're the one handing over the money, you shouldn't have to do all the running around (read: any of the running around); that's what you're paying for from a dealer - most for the drug, but some for them running around etc.
 
One time I went to this park I used to buy in and it had just been raided, the only people there were this crazy looking Turk with terrible teeth and looking like he'd been up on speed for a week, and his insanely huge Middle-Eastern gorilla of a friend.

As soon as they approached me I knew this wasn't good, the big guy said nothing, just kept his treetrunk arms folded, and the little guy talked fast and aggressive. He wanted money up front because the cops took all the stuff, so he'd have to run down the street to get more.

I said nevermind, he kept insisting, the big guy pretty much preventing me from leaving with intense body language. The little guy said the big one would stay with me so I'd know I wasn't getting ripped off, I couldn't think of a nice way to say that he could have broken my neck with one hand, he wasn't exactly going to be my prisoner while I waited for my score.

Eventually I just walked away, fast as I could onto a public path with them following and yelling after me, bad bad scene, last time I went back there.

haha, here in detroit once, i knew these junkies who had a great acid hook. So we had to pick em up and drive them to get heroin, before we got our acid. We'll they started talking shit cause we wouldnt drive them to get the heroin, my friend (ex crack and heroin addict) was in the back with these too kids. They started to get violent, saying they were gonna stab us with their needles, well my ex-addict friend flips out and I (who was driving at the time) saw him get out of the car, walk to the other side, grab both of the addicts out by the head and beat the shit out of both of them. After he had been pummeling them for a while, they eventually sold us our acid and we left em on the side of the street.

moral : addicts are usually pretty weak
