@endless I'm ok but my computer got shut off midpost/ Work sucks, but gotta pay the bills.
Back in the day, Manhattan used to have all the outdoor scene especially "alphabet city" lower eastside/East Village. Lots of tennaments to score and shotting galaries- all in the open. Now post Giuliani I hear you need a number. Its white #4 on the East Coast. Across the hudsan is Newark NJ, and with a little research you can find an open air spot, were I white boy can score. In any city, you can always find a hookero- they always know were to score, just be ready to kick down dope or a little tip.
On the west Coast its all tar- very smokable- it seems like it was desined for the purpose. Tar ranges from hard chunks like glass to sticky goo (usually goo sign- if it melts easily, to brown powder, some fire, so waked to shit. Great tar melts instantly into a puddle and leaves a faded grey trail. Most times it leaves a black trail but good dope has a good bitter taste, vinegar taste still usually good, sickly sweat and you got massively waked dope with shitty bash. Ihat usually leaves a trail with crunchy debris. Hard dope can be good sometimes but you have to start smoking at a 10 degree incline to let it mely on first- there is always a danger of what I think you call the "beetle", the piece at any rate popping off the foil onto the ground )once we found it stuck to the cats claws when we were sick.) Tar is opium usally opium latex that skipps steps and is reacted often with glacial acetic acid as opposed to Acetic Anhydradide-so its cruder than aphgan dope. But it is under rated and can be fire. Its usually better the closer to the border but Ohio and Phoenix are known for fire dope.
The only city on the west coasr US I know were to score on the streets is san Francisco- the tenderloin districy is supposedly the spoy these days. Santa Anna near LA and parts of LA (although I hear down town is a ripoff, there are pocjets of open air- I just don't know where.
San Diego you need a number. But TJ is so close that lots are crossing the vorder because thats one HUGE scene- yaxi drivers and the zone near the red light distruct is full of spots. Just have alittle cash for the federales, just in case, #30-$50. Even though certain amoints are supposed to be legal- I hear people usually don't have trouble from the police, avoid anyone in military uniforms.
Vancouver is reputed to have great SE Asian #4 for $10 a teener on the street. It supposedly has a thriving open air market on the east side around Hastings Street. Alot of Americans cross the border from as far as Seattle to score although they supposedly get descent tar their (in Seattle) too.
