Heya Ructs and Mr Ructs - long time no see pal, hope you are well my friend ;]
I'm fairly fucked as I right this so while taking that into consideration, do try bear with it as best you can.
Yeah the gear that i scored over the South side was an improvement, it was a lot better then anything our bloke ever had (& i never even scored any of his really bad batch) But it was still crap!
I'm sure of it. His 'new batch' isn't any measure better than the garbage he was selling before his recent hiatus - a hiatus which was taken because his last batch was
that weak that none of his regulars would buy it. He explained he had to refuse several batches over the last two weeks because the quality was of such a poor quality, so when he got his most recent batch last weekend I decided to give it a test (in a very drunken and foul humoured state) and it was even worse than the stuff he alleged he couldn't sell.
That was extremely frustrating because I took two from him and it has resulted in me having little to no money left this week to buy the half decent stuff for cash.
Endless do you reckon that the gear your getting is proper strong heroin, like what was around before the drought? Or even close?...this 'new batch'
No dear, not at all. The last gear that I had that would be likely to rank anywhere near proper pre-drought on most users scales was in Spring '11. The very dealer who sold it to me for the four or so months I was of my fortune is actually back on right now, alas my most reliable sources advise me to keep my cash and stick with my current as the chap is in serious trouble with a lot of people over selling them
useless rubbish then not answering his phone when people call looking for their often hard earned cash back...thats a real good way to get mortally wounded or at least scarred for life in most of these circles. The fuckin idiocy of it all.
Anyway...
I'm very happy with what I can get when I pay cash for it, even if the sizes leave a lot to be desired. I first tried it two weeks ago, and its a strength of gear I haven't had in quite a while. I was unsure to begin with because my tolerance was nill and I didnt want to rave about it without giving it a decent chance, but this is the only product I'm comfortable with handing any amount of cash over for. Theres no weight available - and although the sizes arent the best. they're more so 'annoying' rather than a 'waste of money'. I've had one and a half bags tonight and six cider - I have a glass of white wine in my hand and another half a bag left and I can say with absolute certainty that it was worth the cash as I'm unmistakably goofing quite hard right here.
Again -
nowhere near pre-drought.
Also...its
SO GOOD not to be strung out anymore

Along with the brainfog that is noticable fading with the passing of the days, I can feel my intellect - my general apprehension together with my patience growing stronger and its really noticable at this stage. Long, long way to go as I still find expressing my ideas both vocally and literally (or in writing - sorry, I still cant fully access that built intellectual thesaurus/dictionary we all tend to bear and I still sound like an idiot most of the time) but its nice to see results as it really motivates me to I'm broke for the rest of the week, but YAY :D I've already begun making plans for a holiday to New York, and I'm really considering leaving Ireland for a while too...I also aim to finish my Journalism BA soon and I've been putting a lot of thought into my masters and the future in general
you can tell this thread has been going too long
nearly everything is getting repeated over and over
Yeah, its come full circle numerous times at this stage...just about everything being said is a repeat these days.
Its still interesting to keep an eye on it though. It'll be endless repeats until the flood occurs, if it ever does of course.
What worries me a lot is the relatively recent surge in heroin addiction in Russia though, because if that is in fact the main cause of our drought...I very much doubt a recovery is on the horizon any time soon - and if ever at all.
Pardon my digressions - hope you folks are all well :]
