A lot of people have recently been posting about Holyoke dope. I live right between Springfield, Wilbraham and Ludlow and at times have made multiple daily trips to Holyoke to cop for both myself and other people. I have a few things to say about this topic.
First of all, the cops and staties (state troopers) are all over certain areas of Holyoke and if you are white, have out-of-state license plates or violate any bullshit traffic laws, they WILL stop and search you, regardless of legality. I am currently dealing with 2 heroin possession charges out of Holyoke within months of each other and both times I got caught from illegal traffic violations, first time was an "illegal lane change" which was bullshit and the second was having a tail light out. Due to the fact that I'm a white girl in my mid-twenties (with no criminal history or record) that has a home address right outside of Springfield, the state troopers illegally ripped me out of my car, put me in their back seat, and searched my car. Since cops and state troopers have no video/audio on their cars, I can't prove anything, it's basically the officer's word against mine. Plus I have another shoplifting case from being the getaway driver out of Wilbraham so I could do some time in Chicopee jail or just probation, we'll see.
Second, it's super easy to cop dope in Holyoke at any time, without even knowing anybody. I'm a white mid-twenties year old female and I have copped off strangers in Holyoke (but I always have a guy friend present in the car just in case because I have been robbed and known many people to have been jumped/mugged before while trying to cop dope.) But I would not recommend going into Holyoke (especially south Holyoke and Flats) after 9pm on any given night. There are surveillance video cameras all over Holyoke and at every intersection and park, street corner, etc. that all go straight to the police and even if you don't see any cops when you're down there, they can see you and if you look suspicious (i.e. being white or any auto/traffic violations) they will send a cop to that area to check it out.
But the best way to cop dope anywhere, is to meet a regular dealer/connect that you can somewhat-trust. I currently have 6-7 dealers of my own that all live in Holyoke (along with 3 in Springfield) that I can call/text at any given time to get bags and they're all dealers I met through other "friends" that do dope, not just random people off the street. I have consistent dealers (not just middle-men) that are honest about the quality of their shit and I know a lot of other dopeheads that I can ask about who has the best bags and/or what the best stamp is at that time. I have no problem contacting a dealer right after I get the shit and letting them know if it's complete garbage because they would much rather have people tell them because none of the real dealers do heroin, most of them just smoke weed or drink.
So if you're going into Holyoke to cop, make sure you know who you're getting shit from because there's a lot of thugs looking to rob people trying to buy any kind of drug and NEVER hand over cash until you see the shit. Also, don't go into Holyoke without a valid license/ID and make sure you don't have anything illegal on you or in your vehicle and make sure your insurance, registration and everything on your vehicle is up to date because you don't want to make the cops' job any easier.
Feel free to send me a PM if you're from around here or cop in Holyoke.
