Regional Heroin Availability: v9

[trip2themoon]

Seems like that drought is receding but not over and quality is fluctuating.

The dry-up really started biting here in the UK around the spring of 2008 and although there has been decent available since then it's not been great though. What's been available since the spring of 2008 has been selling so there is no way we will ever get good strong kit here again. UK heroin is done and dusted...

Hey mate, yeah it sounds like ur describing pretty similar gear-tho I've had two lots recently, both of which came as big lumps, the first, which was slightly better, was a bit softer and this latest stuff was a lil bit harder, and yeah crumbles to pretty fine dust. And quite crimsony / orangey on the foil. Pretty fuckin decednt. The first one was even better tho, it was repeatedly giving me a nod on top of 80mls meth daily, from about 0.3 g smoked, so was pretty fuckin good by my reckoning. Especially considering the price at £115 an 8. Like I said dont know the source-it'll either be Bristol, Bath or somewhere inbetween. Nice to meet u anyway D in the P. Lo ever smoked tho. Lot of fuckin gear heads in Bath eh?! U been in the game long mate? I bin using over 6 years now, only ever smoked-reckon Ive got a handle on it now lol. Well that is to say I only need to use 1/4 to a 1/2 g daily, on top me 80mls. Well I say need, want to, to make life fairly sweet. Wish I could afford to stockpile

Been on and off gear for about 10 years odd now mate although these days it's a rare treat. I have had the orangey gear not so long back and where as it does have gear in it I found it fairly weak. Lucky we can score that though as even though it's nothing special it's better than the bags going around Chippenham.

Funnily enough, summer 2008 is when I decided to knock dabbling with street gear on the head, as I was scoring absolute crap with people who were only too keen to go back for more. I'm talking people with habits here and not weekend warriors like myself. Only went back to it last year, by chance more than anything, a couple of months before the drought hit.

I hope you're wrong for everyone's sake, but cocaine and speed have shown what can happen when people continue to buy shite. Two-and-three tier markets for both drugs, or the occasional decent dealer. It could easily happen with smack too.

Having said that - look at MDMA. Two or three years ago the scene was full of pipz and it's recovered. I think BL and particularly Pillreports played a part in that, however minor, because once a pill got a bad name then people avoided it.

Then again, heroin's a different game entirely. Ah well.

i wouldnt believe half the stuff being writin on this thread samhain

the gear in north dublin is back to the norm...got a gouch,nod, lovely few days of sleep etc. of half a gram

i just think a few heads on the site are expecting too much out of gear...its not the 80's anymore when the brown was more potent e.g <70% heroin

my only complaint is the price of weight, but the quality is definatly back up to whats been around for the last 5 years or so...apart from october-march

Hi mate , pls dont think i'm dissin ya but i cant say ive ever smoked decent gear that has been " Quite crimsony/orangey" when wetted up on the jimmy. The only colour i know to be decent is mid to dark BROWN!! The gear i'm smokin @ the mo which is as good as pre-D is a dark brown cocky with a touch lighter round the edges , also absolutey no stickiness to the beetle , which IMO is another good sign.Like i said dont mean to sound a c**t all the best Louie.

No offence taken bud. When its on the foil in a decent size beetle of course it looks brown, but in desent sunlight, when you look at a thin piece of the beetle its crimsoney. A fair amount of gear has got a yellowy/orangey tinge to it when its thinned. Also, one of the nicest bits of gear I ever had was really crimson on the foil, that was a long time ago. Also Dark in the Park if the gear u had was weak then it aint the same. I know Im a good judge of the strength of gear-firstly because Im pretty hard to please and have refused to buy stuff/ taken stuff back for a refund cos I dont rate it whereas others think its fine, secondly cos Im on 80mls of methadone daily, so anything that gives me a gouge on top of that is gonna be fuckin good! But hey, I really aint that fussed if peeps dont believe me...I too am surprised at how many people think shit shit gear is good, or 'fire' or 'dynamite'!! So I know why you'd 'av doubts.
Also, someone else said 'either gears good or it aint - it either gives u a nod or it doesnt'..well thats stupid as gear, or what gets called gear, can vary in strength from 0.5% to 97%, and also heroin is subjective...if Ive been workin my knackers off for 10 hours, having had a shit nights sleep the night before, havin a boot is gonna be far more likely to give me a nod than if Ive been inactive and slept for 10 hours. I mean, when I was smokin a gram a day, after me first smoke in the mornin which'd give I a nod, you get to the point where ur as fucked as ur gonna get from just smokin alone, and no matter how much u smoke it aint gonna knock u out. And also wiv gear, good decent gear can either make me nod or send me the other way and make me fuckin hyper and energetic. So anyway, long winded answer to a few people's comments hope I aint bored everyone to death lol

Yeah, but the last five years haven't been the best...

In 1999, even with a shitty chasing technique, I'd be in a state with just a bit of a bag. I'm only really a dabbler too, so tolerance hasn't been an issue apart from when I've fallen into short-lived periods of daily use.

 

[louie the 16th]

@Papaversom, i'm glad you realised i wasn't sayin i dont believe you, just never come across it myself in 15 yrs . Or maybe i should open my curtains a bit more eh ? lol.. Also i know exactly what you mean about what i call a tired buzz! If like you i've done a shift @ work & had little sleep the night before i can put a nice .3 on the jimmy & 3-4 hours later wake up & i've only had about 10 lines ! Glad your gettin decent anyway son . All the best Louiexv1

I don't expect 100% pure kit, but from 1997- early 2008 there was always good strong kit available. For 3 years now it's all been shite. If idiots are willing to buy shite why should anyone bother cutting it less? Good kit is gone forever there's been nothing in 3 years to prove otherwise...

 

[zaramorf]

^ I'll have a look at that. Cheers for the tip. Did you say 90%?

Jesus, no wonder they went over! That's nearly 3 times stronger than the best UK gear before the drought. Cheers for that headcandy.

Just wanted to say (without sounding like a smart arse) that before the drought, i had stuff that was 71%, the only reason i know this, is that my guy got caught with it & it got tested at that-71% which to me is pretty strong, he got caught with 13 raps, but got charged for 26 raps (£260 worth) as purity was so strong, to me thats so wrong, actually it was in the local paper, i'll find the link

Yep, i'm with you there mate!!! But so many people seemed to be more then happy to settle for low grade gear through out this drought, i just couldn't understand that?? Why would anyone be ok with that? Especially over the the last few months when we were paying double the price for gear!! I'd rather just stick with my meth, & so that is what i did.

Things are still ok in Dublin now, the price has come down a bit & the quality has got better, but its still not as good as what i was getting before the drought, but some of my mates are more then happy with it, but in saying that they have never been that fussy about what gear they scored before the drought either. I have always been fussy, with the price of the stuff you have to be & i know what i like!!! :D

But yeah Trip2theMoon i totally agree with you, gear has been getting weaker over the last few years, & now after this drought it might be totally screwed!! Or maybe we will all get a big surprise!! Who knows!!

But for now i am scoring & i happy for now with whats around, coz i had been aching for good gear!! But i hope that things will get back to at least what they were before the drought, all we can do is wait & wait & wait some more!!!

Sorry to rain on everyones parade but i dont think harvests will have any effect - the problem isnt lack of gear they have been over producing for years so there is plenty stock piled as well as plenty in other countries - columbia,mexico, laos etc. I believe that the problem is at the high end distribution in to europe and specificaly the UK big players been taken out - grassing up others and its like a house of cards. Gear will be available though small networks but not like it was before when tonnes would come in at a time.
Hope Im wrong just have to sit and watch

Na man your wrong there is a shortage of opium in the cost of the opium has gone up from from about $3,500 to about $4,300 a tunn science the fungus hit the pop's so it did happen and it was or is the problem and there not just going to start bringing it in from columbia or mexico just like that none of the big lads that bring it in know anyone over in them place's.

SO hopefully this harvest gets here soon and they don't dance all over it well not much anyway

Got a small bit today was ok 4/10 but was talking to someone tonight there and they say thy have 8/10 will get back to you on that one and let ye know if it is 8/10 and how much

dunno why you're bringing mexico and colombia into this cos they have never supplied H to europe. as griffin 79 said, the price of opium has gone up drastically cos nearly 50% of afghan opium was destroyed by the fungus last summer

this summer should be a bumper harvest......as they say ''The sun always shines after the storm'' so i expect things to be back to normal with better and cheaper H come the summer

even tho around my way, things have already picked up

 

[kkattastic]

i scored yesterday and my man came round having just reloaded with a whole brick intact
it was obviously packaged overseas and brought here as it was all wrapped properly
he opened it in front of me and gave me mine off it so i know that what i am getting is coming into the country like that
and yeah,it is pretty weak-prob what most ppl see to be getting and from y drug tests at addiction services,is already cut with benzos of some kind

 

[blondin]

Suddenly everyones an expert in the geopolitics of Afghanistan...even at $5000 a tonne that works out at only $500 a key of gear.

There is plenty of gear but the networks for distribution have been severly disrupted and until multiple tonnes start coming in nothing will change - I think the reason no other country has stepped up is for the same reason the guys at the top have ever been busted or are lying low.

So who told you the harvest is in the summer? do you know the geography of the country and the climate for the different regions - check it out you might be surprised.

i think this is a plausible as anything thats been speculated over in this thread for god nos how long.
Its not as though Blondin ain't been takin gear 4 awee while n i 4 one think he makes some really valid points.
