Well out side of say Philly what do you think is the most drug city or state? I heard West Virginia has loads and loads of people taking pain meds and state of Missouri has the highest meth user in the nation.

All I can think of is 'The Wire' but that show was from almost 20 years ago. Anything changed?
Apparently even Detroit has turnt the page....but I can't confirm...haven't seen the place since 2007 which was around its nadir.

Certain parts of town have gentrified a bit. A lot of people moved out into the county. Kind of a dead city in certain areas. So many dilapidated houses that have been condemned. More than you can count. Entire areas. There are more homeless than you could imagine.

That said... Violent crime has gotten a little better. It's still an open air drug market in certain areas. I can't really speak on Detroit though as I've never been.

Sounds like Detroit when I was there.

Yes you can, see above. ;)


Going to Detroit was fucking trippy. The level of devastation in a country as wealthy as the US was wild. At times I felt as if I were in a war zone/poor country/someone's nightmare. Which is what I imagine Baltimore was like (is like?).

It was also weird to see the massive size of depraved areas. For example, here, we have the old money wealthy neighbourhood over a bridge (a not too big one, by the way, including a pedestrian bridge) from one of the poorer neighbourhoods. Or my neighbourhood which is full of multi-million dollar homes right next to rooming houses and is known as the second biggest drugs neighbourhood in town. You also might find a council estate just dropped into the middle of an otherwise upper-middle class hood.

You guys sure do shit a bit differently down there.

Do you see any hope for a bit of a chin up for Baltimore in the near future?

I wish I could be more optimistic about things. I mean DC has definitely taken a better turn in the past ten to twenty years. I just don't see the same radical change for Baltimore though. You never know though.

Show some damn respect for detroit and the people standin out there holdin it down. Alot of abandoned buildings but if you understand the history of detroit umm of course is the answer; not implying you dont; only that context is desperately needed!

Detroit been berry berry good to me. I was a white kid coppin in the D and never was so much as threatened. (felt threatened but thats different aye?) In fact the area that was a drug dealing area was actually a bit more safe as the stick up kids know not to 'step on the toes' of customers coming. Dudes were always very reasonable and aware that I appeared out of place and would do his best to meet somewhere he felt comfortable but you could be white without being flagged down instantly. Maybe I was just lucky and had a good connect? Nah.

a couple times he was unavailable I had to cold cop on the open air market, little advice from the working girls and I was solid. (they are usually glad to help for a cut).

Detroit lotto tickets all day long everyday unless something changed quite recently......which it could have? I quit when fent started being in ALL the batches

All that being being said Detroit was a very beautiful place and even considered "the paris of the north america". A true shame what happened to that city.....

On the other hand there were a couple idiots that went down there for blow and considering the quantity purchased got some of the worst nose garbage ever. (im sure the good shit is around but just my experience....the weed use to be all brick) of course MI is a legal state and weed haven now

Yeah a lot of North American cities experienced massive urban decay when all of the manufacturing jobs began to be shipped off to foreign countries. Sounds like that's probably a big factor with Detroit. It's what happened with Baltimore, Pittsburgh, etc.
 
I think this information is a little more accurate. This link is to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The most recent info it's compiled and released was for 2022. This page that I've linked to has a ton of information on it. I just went to view/download files section, then the clickable table of contents. If you're anything like me, and get curious about random facts, this is the place for answers.

You may what to look at this https://americanaddictioncenters.org/blog/substance-abuse-by-city

It ranks 50 cities in the US on what cities have most meth use and what cities have most cocaine use. Also witch cities have little meth use and little cocaine use.

Just as an FYI. I went to the original site and found this blog. First, it's an editorial. Second, it was originally posted in July, 2022. This information is based on a research project they did themselves.
This is what it says about the project.

In this study, our team analyzed data for 51 metropolitan areas throughout the United States. Using city-specific data, we were able to rank each city for substance abuse based on the percentage of the population who has used that drug. Based on our findings, we compiled the information and created a weighted ranking for overall drug use that allowed us to rank US cities based on their cumulative rate of substance abuse.
