First off this is my first post here Ive read bluelight threads without an account for years but never posted until now so I really hope I'm not breaking the forum rules in someway in any of this post. Anyway AFOF has been using all sorts of drugs recreationally over the years but his favorites have been Oxycodone and Dope (Dope more recently due to the absurd price of 30's in his area). He had an interesting and very event-filled summer. He is from Maryland but met a lot of people from all over the East Coast this summer where he was living. One of the people he became friends with was from Philadelphia and shared the same taste for opiates as himself. He ended up having to drive this friend back home to Philly from where they were living due to the whole house getting evicted for some fuckery that happened (long story). Anyways, this friend would tell AFOF, things like "cops dont care what youre doing up there as long as you stay within a certain boundary here", and that you could buy, sell, use, w/e drugs in broad daylight without interference as long as you were in that particular boundary. AFOF did not believe him at all until they actually went on a ride to this area, and sure enough, the guy was not lying. Literally 10:00am on a tuesday and there were lines 20 deep of people on every corner buying powder coke and bags, casually shooting up dope in the open, people selling needles "Works!" , the whole shebang. Could not believe it. Extremely potent drugs (all of them), lower prices than AFOF was familiar with, legal(?) too... wut??? The two ended up accidentily shifting into neutral and coasting their car into a telephone pole in a parking lot within that certain boundary, RIGHT next to a cop parked 2 spaces down, lights flash, cop comes up to the window, finds an open syringe on AFOF's lap and sees his friend that was driving the car- nodding so hard he was literally drooling out of his mouth, head plunged earthward, arms in some awkward position. After a brief search the cops find 2 bundles and at least 10 nicks of powder in AFOF's wallet and GIVE IT BACK. They literally hand him his ID, and seperatley give him back the drugs and are on their way. They tow the car, but still. No charges, nothing.
Anyways, AFOF will be in the same general area coming up here soon within the next few weeks and wanted to make sure this experience he had was not uncommon, since he is not from that particular area. He has been using the web as a tool to do all the proper reconaissance he can prior to this adventure, and has come across numerous links "Philly Drug Bust Nets 68 Arrests" and "Undercover Narcotics Cops Land 90 Arrests in Open-Air Drug Market Sting" all dated ironically within the past few months, JUST after he went to this area and patronized this drug-outlet of some sort, the first and only time.
His central question is this: Do the things explained seem typical of this area? Has there been an increased police presence (especially recently) there, or did things used to be like this, and now theyre not so much? Or is it still just like that or close to it?
BTW excellent forum, I love bluelight and I look forward to any responses, and once again I really hope I didnt break any rules especially the sourcing one- I tried to avoid using any landmarks or stuff like that, and definitely not information about who or specifically where to get from, just questions about a major city and it's overall drug culture.
