In my humble experience, quality coke and New York go hand and hand. I’ve been picking up in the city since 2002 all over. I would say from 2002 to late 2007, the product was at the very least always quality.
It was europhic, usually rocked, sometime powder (still good though), sometimes fishscale, And I could always tell it was good shit when at a bar or club, I would stop everything and ask what is the name of a particular song playing on the radio/ipod/dj (you know the deal). It became apparent that if I was enjoying the music to such a level where I had to ask about the music, I could deduce that I was not ripped off. Plus, I would always be reminded of Hall and Oates and would smile and say ‘disco’ under my breath. These were good days.
So it pains me to say that this has not been a side effect in the past two years. My personal conclusion is the quality of coke in NYC has fallen off a cliff. I really hope this is not the case, but now everything is in powder form and looks cut to hell. What’s worse is many of these dealers are using active cuts. Is there a massive shortage at the kg level or are dealers universally becoming assholes?
In the past 3 months ( 8/09 – 10/09) I decided to do a little lazy investigative journalism. I picked up from 8 sources, 7 of which were eerily similar garbage and the 1 was semi decent. Of course the decent one is unreliable and the count is unbecoming. The rest are lidocaine/some tweeked out powder, lidocaine/some powder rerocked with acetone, lidocaine/inositol, all with less than 10-15% actual coke. You do the acetone wash and still no euphoria because all the cuts are insoluble. You could do an A/B extraction, but why? To get back a fifteenth of what you started with. Sigh. Some of these dealers I have known for many years and are trustworthy. They have seen a rise in price and a decrease in quality which sucks for them, their families and me.
I’d like to ask those of you who are tried and true professionals/connoisseurs of the game (heavy users familiar with the NY metro market), what is going on the city and have you notice similar drops in quality with dealers you’ve known for 5-7 years?
If I get similar responses, I would have to assume coke is dead as dead in NYC.
