What's the scene like in your hometown?

[dieselbaby]

OK before going any further, I should note that I realize that this post could technically be categorized in that "The Scene" subforum but there wasn't enough room for the entire title which would make more sense to ask. It was meant to say: What's the scene like in your hometown/What lengths do you have to go to in order to get dope?

I'll also let you know before going any further that this is kinda long, so skip down to the bold question if you just hurry things along.

Personally for me the amount of work necessary for me to put in to take a ride on the H train is almost comical. I had moved out to Bloomington, Indiana (Indiana University) a little over 2 years ago, finishing up my schooling and moving into a beautiful apartment with my long-term girlfriend. We love almost everything around here EXCEPT there is NO DOPE to be found. I had been lucky enough (if you even want to call it that) to be able to have a connection for some really expensive OC 80s (like $60 each expensive). At the time when I first got here I had been clean for my longest stretch since beginning opiates, so my tolerance wasn't too high. Slamming an 80 would still have me feeling decently high at the time, and while it wasn't something that I enjoyed doing (especially since it was so fucking expensive, and IV OC sucks and lasts for like 15 minutes) but back then I was still able to get pretty fucked up but my tolerance was quickly rising to 160, 240, and 300+ mg per shot. I had saved/made a lot of money during the period of time that I was clean (which was up until a few weeks before I moved to Indiana from NY) and wasted way too much of it on those $60 80s simply because there was nothing else around. I did just about EVERYTHING I could do to find dope in Bloomington for the first few months outside of just straight up asking every single person I saw on the street and aside from the occasional decently (but still overpriced) priced bulk pharm purchase that I could manage to get, I eventually had enough.

I had no luck here, which is strange to me because I know that HEROIN IS EVERYWHERE. This is a town of about 80,000 - half of them students and grad students under the age of 25. With all these people, there has to be some fellow junkies around here. We like everything about the town except for this lack of "medicine" - there's great people, it's nice and clean, the weather isn't too bad for most of the year, there's a ton of cool independent restaurants and shopping and all the amenities you'd expect to find in just about other place. So what's a heroin loving couple to do in such a situation? We started to get to work and make it a top priority and project of ours to find dope again, and find it quick.

Now there are definitely street scenes in many places you wouldn't expect. A lot of times most of this shit can be going on right under our noses and we hear about it from time to time yet don't know what to do for ourselves. This shit is in every single state in some way or another (obviously some more than others), yet we're 45 minutes from Indianapolis, which is a city with a population of over 1 million people. Definitely has to be some dope there, right? Well, we've tried just about everything there is there. We have driven around many side streets, sought out "ghetto" areas (which are a fucking joke compared to places in NY and NJ I regularly go), talked to bums/street people and done as much research online as we could to try and source out a possible area for an open air heroin spot. There are literally only 5 methadone clinics in the entire state of Indiana due to these ridiculous laws they have here, and they are all very strictly run. Any of the people that were lucky enough to get a limited spot into the methadone clinic in Indy certainly didn't want to help out a friendly stranger with scoring something. But these people have to be on methadone for a reason, it can't all be from prescription drug addiction, can it?

Figuring that Indianapolis is about a 3 hour drive from Chicago and Detroit 5 hours, it's pretty weird to think that there aren't any gangbangers at the very least in Indianapolis (you hear about gun violence and shootings on the news here all the time) that would ferry some down from these aforementioned dope havens and make some nice cash doing it. The problem is, the minimal street shit that we have encountered has all been crack, and we've asked crack dealers and been given the run around and even weird looks when trying to find some H. Maybe I'm just not trying the right areas.

Is it like this where you are too? No open-air scene- so do you have to get something mailed to you, drive to another city (sometimes several hundred miles and many hours away, I'll elaborate further below) or do you just go without? Are you lucky enough to have a private phone number dealer who you can just call and meet? I'd like to know if people are in a similar situation as me and my gf. For around a year we were driving over 800 miles each way (1600 miles round trip) from IN to my amazing dealers in NJ and spending aroud $1500 on 6 bricks every 3-4 weeks. This trip just became to be too much, as we were blowing a ton of money on hotels along the way - which we woul sometimes end up staying in for longer than exepected due to being too lazy to drive back. It was great always having dope but getting so much at once would not only be very fucking bad to get caught with, we were doing way too much and our tolerances were getting out of control. Not only that but the drive was putting a ton of miles on our car, we were disappearing from our IN friends for sometimes longer than expected and to be honest the drive is a brutal one (at least 12 hours long if you didn't stop at all, and 14 usually) and so mindnumbingly boring.

So in search for other options we decided to try friends in different cities that were within what we considered a reasonable driving range (2.5 hours each way). When we had a chance to score a connect for some really dank tar in Columbus, Ohio we decided we were going to start going there and picking up in bulk every few weeks even though it was a further drive than we wanted, 3.5 hours each way. Since it was closer than going back to NJ and we started out getting pretty good deals on what got us just as high as the best of the NJ powder, it was nice to make a weekend out of going out there and scoring $500-1000 on goodies and staying in a beautiful and cheap $99/night Hilton Garden Inn we found right near where we had to go. My girl and I are suckers for partying it up in a good hotel and loved to do it whenever possible. Every few weeks soon turned into every week and the price of the balls of tar went up, and the size would fluctuate. While it was getting annoying it was still our best option, until we trusted our connect and spend enough time with him to trust him to send us in the mail. That worked for a short while until we were ripped off for a measly $200 bucks, which really was stupid of our connect since we were his only regular customers who bought in bulk, weren't in debt to him for hundreds of dollars and I make a point of being as professional and straightforward with people as possible. He made plenty of money from us and for him to waste the opportunity of making consistent money and the many favors we did for him. Plus, we were kind of friends with him and would sometimes hang out and we got to know him pretty well. So it was also pretty stupid because if I were the type of person to seek revenge over my lost money I have all his information, he runs his mouth about a lot of shit including his supplier whose phone number I have, her dealer's name, his last name, his home address and phone number, all his friends, where he works, etc. Luckily for him I'm not the type of person to exact revenge on someone over $200, and in the end I'm sure he'll get what's coming to him which hopefully involves him being forced to withdrawl from his ridiculous habit cold turkey, preferrably in a cell somewhere so he can really be miserable.

So with the tar out of the picture, other options were put back into play. We decided that we were going to scour our entire hometown for heroin as hard as possible. We hit the streets for hours for 3 days straight, trying to find sketchy people, talking to people who chill and smoke weed at this local park and even random people who look like they might know anything. I thought I almost had luck when I met this black guy who called himself "St. Louis" and claimed he could "get me some boy". He didn't have a cell phone so I was pretty sure he was gonna flake out but I gave him my number anyway and told him to call. He promised he would and never did. He was from Detroit and so we decided our best route would be to find more of these black drug dealers from mostly Detroit around town and approach them. There is apparently a problem with crack and heroin here according to the local paper and a search of their website only brings up a few articles, with less than 5 people busted in the last 3 years for something heroin-related, and a father/son OD a few years back. These all seem like isolated incidents of people just like me who have to get their own shit and bring it in. We also plan on trying to hit up NA meetings looking for people who obviously don't want to be there, or people who go there to sell drugs (yes it happens). We'll also be hitting up this local homeless hangout by this church during the day to see if anyone there knows anything but it's unlikely.

I'm not going to settle for this overpriced pharmaceutical bullshit so now we've been taking the slightly further (than Columbus) drive to Chicago to cop there. Luckily the first time there we found a street connect, got his number, re-met up a few times and bulked up and actually managed to luck out with someone legitimate. The story of how I met this guy is absolutely insane and truly deserves it's own thread which I plan on posting when I get the time to type it out and I will never forget the day it happened, that's for sure. So right now we are enjoying some of Chicago's finest, which I must say is a lot better than i expected. I'm used to dope from Paterson NJ which I always thought was really good and a crazy place to cop, but the west side of Chicago truly is an open air paradise. There are hundreds upon hundreds of spots spread out across a huge area - and if you're white and have your window cracked (this doesn't even need to be cracked) you will hear everyone outside yelling out "rocks, blows.... pull up, park" and if you are experienced in scoring in the hood you can do pretty well for yourself. The drive sucks and we've had to do it without staying at a hotel since we had just paid off a big credit card debt at the time and decided to take Adderall and drive all day instead of sleeping somewhere outside Chicago. Plus we'd rather use the money for the hotel on more dope anyway.

Right now I'm working on a few things to make my situation better, but I guess it could be worse, right? It is pretty sick that I drive a little over 3.5 hours each way to Chicago to pick up but I know I'm not the only person out there doing this, I just can't be. And I'm sure that there are people who go out for that drive and pick up even less at a time than I do - I'm only getting for personal use. Hopefully it'll turn up locally soon and it won't totally suck. Even if it was a little more expensive than what I get in Chicago or NJ and a little less quality I wouldn't mind since it wouldn't be such a fucking hassle just to stay from being miserably sick. I wish there weren't such a stigma attached to heroin, specifically. It makes it a lot harder to bring up to people and heroin junkies tend to stick to themselves anyway. So I guess we'll just see what happens. Let me know what the scene is like where you guys are at, and if you ever had to do as I do in order to keep the ball rolling.

If you actually read all this, :whip2_1:you are awesome and let's be friends. Otherwise, just post up your answer to the bolded question above. Love, Dieselbaby.

PS: The pain management clinics and doctors are all really strict as well, which is a shame because I have really really fucked up shoulders that have popped out of their sockets at least 100 times, and really need surgery to re-tighten the ligaments and keep the humeral head in place so it won't happen anymore. It's incredibly painful, and due to tendonitis, inflammation and the fact that it often pops out in the middle of the night, my entire shoulder/neck/upper back area often has me in excruciating pain. Luckily I should be getting a new MRI soon that may help me out.

[rockbottom]

you are a true opiophile--when shit was that hard for me to get i would detox from herion and become an alcoholic--good luck on your search--;)

[The_Highwayman]

Where I live, it is somewhat easy..meaning it's about as ahrd as getting any other street drug. I live ina suburb and when I first starting looking I got a connection through a friend easy and it was only a 20 minute drive and was very reliable, when he left, he friend used to dirve only 10 mintes to another city and scored on the street which he was easy of avialbility terms but hard becasue he is a skater looking white kid and it was dangerous until he got a phone number connect. I haven;t done the open air much, but from what I heard and seen, it owuld be either an hour drive oir a two hour drive and apparently very easy, discounting all the usual open air problems you can run into

[Nu Jerzey Devil]

Wonderful post, I read it all and I feel for you man, and I'm sorry that you have to do this.... do what you have to do though and I hope you get some luck soon. I've lived in the tri-state metropolitan area my whole life (Nj) so I have never really had problems there. It's amazing though how you would think it (especially coming from this area) that dope would never be hard to find. I am up in syracuse periodically for school/work related stuff, and I have scored up there before but I usually have a lot of trouble. I have found pretty much anywhere in that city you are within walking distance from the hood. Now rock is everywhere.... crack seems to be so big there, but it seems like most of the time when I go up there and try to cop it is either dry or hard to find. The first couple of times I got ripped off, I bought a 2 bags off of the street only to get home and find out that the powder was cinnamon. Sad but true story. I think I have even asked you about syracuse before didn't you used to go to school there at SU? Anyway, good post and I hope you have some luck.

[I-Nod]

Oh yeah... I read that far!! Guess that makes us friends... :D

There's a lil bit of powder floating around my small town (population: 23,000 give or take 2.) There's no open-air market, of course, but it isn't too hard to flush out due to the town being so damn small.

Plus, being so close to Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown probably doesn't hurt either.

[SeVeN]

Well I actually read your whole post. I'ts pretty rare that something that long is read by me.

Basically whenever I have really wanted dope and searched and searched I have always found it. If worse comes to worse then I know a spot to go but hate going there. Where I live there is one definate spot but everyone knows about it especially the cops. (and fucking won't).

Sounds shity that you have to drive so far but Like I said you will find it. LoL guesse its just 3.5 hours away.

[oxy kid]

man that was an awesome post...I read the entire thing.

Indiana must be a lot like MSU...not the northern one either...from the redneck state.. I have never heard, seen, or anything resembling to finding some diesel around here...

Maybe I need to make a drive up north...

Or Jersey...that sounds like the place to be.

[dieselbaby]

Well I am reporting back with my adventures from the west side of Chicago, which is truly "the wild wild west" as one would say. I'm pretty sure that one of the "jabs" (called bundles where I'm from) that I have is either something inert or heroin that was properly cut with fentanyl. I remember people mentioning that fentanyl/heroin admixtures cook up with a pinkish/purple hue. This wasn't bits of dormin/sleepinol pills from cut in the dope. The dope is a very fine white powder, with no real strong particular dope smell, and when water is added and it's cooked up the cotton left behind is seriously pinkish/lavender in color. There is also a really really miniscule amount (like a few tiny specks) of some same colored substance on the bottom of the spoon that certainly weren't present in the dope before it was cooked, and other than it cooked up clean and was very good. I also got some stuff that came in half gram quantity, supposed raw which was also very good and especially nice to mix with the previously described stuff.

The scene in Chicago is insane, if you haven't been it is just as nice a junkie paradise as Newark/Paterson or Baltimore. I have a story to post about how crazy of a time I had while copping and driving in not the nicest of areas - it's worthy of it's own thread as it's one of ht craziest things that's ever happened to me. There were a lot of cops everywhere in Chicago but they don't seem to be having any impact whatsoever. There are literally hundreds of dope spots all over a huge area with calls of "rocks blows park" all over the place. Got a guys number immediately who was legit, always nice to have those options open.

The differences I have observed between Chicago and my usual scene of Paterson NJ are interesting. For one thing, Chicago is obviously a lot bigger city, both population wise and geographically. Both places have people selling on the street in the open. In Paterson you're more likely to get fucked with by a crackhead or not get sold to/ripped off for being a whiteboy out of place, especially in the fourth ward. I imagine the southside of Chicago (which is said to be far worse than the west side) is similar. In Chicago for some reason the shit that I got was packaged in an annoying and unnecessary way. The dope came folded in pieces of tin foil,. which were folder over 4 times and then taped, and then covered in plastic and stuck to a piece of yellow duct tape. Looked like one of those packages of the gum where you push it out of the plastic through the foil to get to it, which is what I thought I'd been handed at first. There are no brand names or stamps like there are in NJ and the quality is just as good although I obviously don't have as much experience in Chicago to speak for everywhere. The cops in Chicago are definitely worse and there are also those blue light security cameras which can hook up to laptops in cop cars, so it's a pretty sketchy situation. Luckily I got someone's number so I had him meet me in a parking lot in a way less sketchy area.

So as for now I'm at home enjoying myself and I get even better news. KARMA PAID OFF and I found myself a local connect who called me back after a 2 day wait where I thought I would hear something. I also got a text message from my tar connect saying that I would be getting my stuff sent to me tomorrow which was the biggest suprise ever. My birthday's coming up soon and everything is looking real nice right now :) Thanks to everyone who read this all again...I'm a sucker for long posts I guess.

[SHELLEY]

there is no such thing as open-air markets
for anything but crack in my town (west palm beach florida)
if you want crack, there are certain parts of town
where you ask any black person [not racist, just how it is] hanging outside
and they will hook you up
if you want heroin and you go to these same people
they will all say the same thing:
"i ain't got it, but i can take care of you"
then they either take you to a larger group and take your money
or if you are slow enough to give one guy your money then and there,
well, obviously he will never come back
if you want heroin in my town you better the fuck have a phone number
hookers help out almost all the junkies with no connect
but most of those crazy bitches are theives too :)
but once you have a phone number of any local dope dealer
you will get more numbers, and fast
mostly through the junkies you meet at the house/hookup spot
then you end up in the little junkie club where everyone has connections
because this county is into crack WAY more than h or anything else
so all the people that do heroin around here know each other through someone

so basically here it's a son of a bitch to find dope the first time
but once you got a dealer, you're in and you've got it going on

[Duckfeet]

Seems like Florida's always been like that: I guess it's geographical, going back to the days when all the cocaine came in thru s. FL, and the H thru NE, and sometimes Seattle...Chicago was first big city to start seeing tar, cuz of the huge mexican pop up there, but as is *usually* the case, right on the border sucks...

But anyway, even back in my days in FL, from Miami to Gainesville, same thing, cocaine, 1st powder, then crack, always ruled...hell, my old lady was a dancer up at the only topless bar in gainesville, and we both ended fixing coke all the fucking time--tit bars are always coke dens--and only occasionally ran into dilaudids and such, no heroin...times are changing, but slowly...what you want is for the Columbians, who make way better dope than the Mexicans ever will, to start bringing it in more...but yer also right, what really works--or destroys me, I'm not sure which--is that after a while you get to knowing who the local opiate people are, and youall stay in touch...

...same everywhere I've been...but in FL, what fucked up everything was oxys and the changes in demographics...why? Because in the seventies dilaudids were everywhere, since FL was still where most old people from NE and other places went to retire...hell u heard more jersey accents than any other...and those old people got huge amounts of dilaudids, and they were everywhere, and fairly cheap...but after oxys, the DEA cracked down on docs...and...well, it ain't a jersey accent you hear down there no more...SFL is well out of the old white people retirement business...plus in old days, all junky crooks on the run, would head down there to hide out and shit, so they naturally congregate and find dope...I was a way too well known drugstore thief in N. Fl, and a couple other gulf states which had the same drug store chain that I knew how to hit...

but that was before the online world got big, right around when Oxys came out...enough reminiscing ... ;-)

Hope baby's doing good, mama...

I hear ya but the coke is basically the reservoir for the pipeline in FL from what I know. my pops grew up in Pensacola but got became friends with this Philly/Jersey street punk mafiaosa dude and both of them ran a business. They were both fishing one day and gaffed a few kilo's that someone threw overboard. Well I got nothing out of it but those fuckers sure had fun. But half of the people I met from FL were from the NE up until a few years ago. Well in the last 10

If you actually read all this, :whip2_1:you are awesome and let's be friends.

Hi friend. That was a really good post and it reminds me a lot of what it was like for me and my ex back in my h days. 300 mile round trip a few times a month at first, Then every day. Then I dropped out of school and moved to NYC. The shit we do for dope...

That's cool that you might have a hometown connect though. All I would say is to keep contact with the Chicago guy if you like him and his dope. Numbers change all the time and you will want to be able to connect with him if and when the hometown guy is not around or does not have anything.

[marshalldylan1]

The heroin scene is nonexistant as far as I can tell. I live in a suburb town just about 20 minutes out of Houston, and I've never seen, or heard of anyone doing heroin here. I'm sure I could find some downtown, but I'm a suburban white kid who wouldn't mix to well down there. Plus its probably all crack.

Pills in my hometown however are easier than they've ever been. A lot of the dealers go to the ghetto clinics in downtown Houston, mark em up way to high and sell em to us suburban kids. It's as simple as call and meet, and he just lives literally down the street. Only problem, is sometime he is on nigga time.

[bodymore]

Baltimore: It is very open here. If you have that "look" and ride down the street streets you will get flagged down, regardless of your completion. But it is best to get a number so you do not have to deal with these hot ass streets

[xxanxx]

Lexington, KY...... The only places to get dope are Cincy and the 'Ville.....

[Narkotikon]

Tell me about it :-(

[jonny-5]

where i live the scene is run by mexicans. usually you have to have their number, you call and they tell you where to go. but you can also find random mexicans downtown, or on the train or whatever that have balloons in their mouth, ive heard the mexicans that hang out at the u-haul place by me sometimes have h, but ive never asked them.

[dieselbaby]

Funnily enough, there was a bust where someone got caught with 130 "balloons" of heroin here in my town, like 2 blocks from my house today. Weird.

[JayTrizzle]

oxykid...if you're at MSU just make the drive to kansas city or god forbid st louis, I GUARANTEE you'll score, if you know where to go (KC, Anywhere north of the river, just look for street junkie punks, or ask around where the ghetto is, not gonna tell you, cuz the only places i've ever gotten hooked up well by black gangsta types was in THE G H E T T O in downtown KC MO, and that place is NOT white accessible unless you know a quick way out. Only reason i even KNOW about that is because the guy I started getting my sweet, sweet grey powder from (that shit didn't even leave ANYTHING in the spoon, dissolved INSTANTLY, and made my entire BODY go numb from shot one, best shit i've ever had, beat the fuck out of west coast tar by far, but then again, H is coming back in a big way, so that may be why also) ANYWAY, this guy was what we call the BLOCK HOOKUP, when you actually live IN the city and not the burbs, you got these scattered white communities, mostly full of tweakers/redneck and their kids, you know, except in KC, the tweakers have money, it's really really odd. So what you have are juggalos (worthless for everything except for cheap schwag and girlfriend stealing if you want chlamydia), old guys (good for nugget and occasionally will point you in the direction of the BLOCK HOOKUP, some of them old guys get down, but not a lot, they all got families and shit, but they smoke weed like crazy and get stupid drunk every day lol), then you got the old guys kids that are like, early thirties/late twenties, and have prison tattoo's, talk about the gangs downtown, and are most likely on parole. Your BLOCK HOOKUP will be one of these guys. We met ours within one hour of moving into our house in the city. He rode by on a mini-chopper (seriously, only transport he had, drove ALL AROUND KC ROFL), got off, asked if we smoked, we happened to have some nugget so we smoked this guy out, and he starts slinging us schwag at REDICULOUSLY low prices. Find out this guy does A LOT of ice, gets A LOT of it, and sells it downtown to guys he met in jail that are trying to get the black crackheads downtown on ICE (cheaper in KC then buying coke), plus there's a large pop of hispanic tweakers downtown too, so there you go. Basically, I found out he was cooking on the block, but he knew his shit, cuz the fucker ended up using OUR HOUSE to sell out of, which by that point I had started slamming OC's and didn't really care about much anyway, had a good job, had warrants, had money and opie's everywhere, we were partying every weekend, dude would show up at like 3 in the am on the weekends smashed and STILL wide eyed, look like he'd been up for weeks, lol. Anyway, one of these drunk nights where we were having people over, and all my usuals were dry as fuck, I ask this guy if he knows anything about any pills. He's like, I got some oxies to sell you, but my boy supposedly has this fire ass boy for sale. I'm like, well all right then. Dude wants 200 a gram. I'm like, oh ok not all right then. Find another semi-reliable hookup the same night, and start slamming H. So within two weeks, from being in KC, just being there, not really looking, I found two potential hookups, with one paying immediatly (got two grams of bleh quality tar (hey shit is shit) for a bill). That guy ended up being an ok hookup, then out of the blue, the BLOCK HOOKUP rolls through one morning, SPUN THE FUCK out, with this tale about being waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay into the dark dark parts of the ghetto, meeting another guy to sell too, who runs shit out of an abandoned five bedroom in the hood, where literally, there would be a room of junkies slamming H, a room of tweakers smoking/slamming ice, a couple of rooms of ho's fucking dudes for cash or getting them beat and robbed, and crackheads literally smoking EVERYWHERE, on the porch, on the block, just, everywhere, lol. So he goes to sell this dude ice, and the guys like, you know anyone who likes that boy, and he's like yeah a couple people on my block, so he comes over with this tiny ass 1/4 gram, GIVES it to me (says he's been shooting speedballs for a week, ice/dope), and I'm like can you get it all the time, he's like oh yeah, saw a oh, COFFEE CUP sized chunk, says that's what his old man throws him to get rid of every week. So I slam that with my girl, and, man, I DON'T puke off of opies. I just never have. Until then. I got SOOOOO HIGH, puked, then the nausea went away and got even higher, whole body went numb, good old pins and needles. So just cuz you live in Mizzou don't mean there ain't shit around, you just gotta know the termanology (anywhere in KS/AR/OK/MO it's gonna be BOY), and know who to ask (YOUNGER tweakers with track marks who look like parolies are your first option when you are surrounded by rednecks, they will always know where to get ANYTHING, from constant roaming and tweaking, black crack dealers are your second option, don't expect ANY open air markets around for HOURS unless you go to St Louis, and I've never had too, so there ya go, KC is a pretty sure bet, just head to the old school hippy/punk haven called Westport, ask people how to get there, you'll be able to score in one of the bars if you ask around for boy and look for people who look like they are trying to sell something).




Now pertaining to the thread. Yeah we moved about two hours away from the city, and then I tried to call my block hookup when I was on my way back to cop, and guess what? He's back in fuckin prison. Awesome. So I call my other old reliable. He just up an quit, court order, has to pee and can ONLY have done in him. So I don't do H anymore because I live in a town with only 19,000 people, and all of the people here that MAY have dope, already know me and won't sell to me because one of my uncles (who was a VERY prominent businessman around here) got into the shit bad, and everyone respected him too the point where THEY WON'T EVEN SELL ME COKE ANYMORE just because they felt bad after he shot himself. So I'm fucked from all sides, I feel ya, and I am TOO white to go into any open air markets, drive a nice car, and look like a regular ass white dude, I don't look like a junkie, I CAN, when I grow my hair out I ALWAYS llok like i've been up for days, lol. Anyway, hope that helps oxykid, and for the starter of the thread, might want to think about that, too. If you live in the midwest, people who sell ice who have legit prison tats and are WHITE will know where to get anything and will be a lot safer to deal with, a lot of them are usually part of the aryan nation (which is bull shit, but whatever it's a hookup), so they'll hook you up better just to see you NOT deal with black guys. So there you go, if you can stomach the intolerance, seek those guys out. Metal guys/punk guys are good bets too, at the indie bars. Don't ask emo looking fags, and don't ask kids who look punk but you can tell they're in college. You want straight up drop out manual labor multi piercing boot wearing tried and true through and through punks, all those guys at least know someone who does the shit.

[gameface]

Small town of about 15K sandwiched between Cities of 100K+ half an hour away to the north and south. West Coast so of course tar only but it's as easy as a phone call. Only in moderate bulk. Fuck $50 a G when its $250 a half oz (12 grams, why I dont know). Lucky enough to have met a semi main dude that is a good friend of a good friend. Super legit, will sell me $30 grams if I'm short or what have you. Quality is as good as I have seen in the state, which aint saying much. Ussually takes less than 30 minutes from when I call till I'm good. Actual transaction takes less than 1 minute. I figure there are a couple main families (Mexican- hey it is what it is) that bring tar into my area. However it only goes about one step down the chain till a white guy is the one slangin. Forgot to mention that there is absolutely no open air scene for any drug. I know downtown Seattle has open air spots to some degree, Certain Freeway Overpasses where people congregate to smoke/sell Crack. Never personally seen an open air spot, only heard. Vancouver BC just across the border is another story. Drugs/ Hookers were quite prevalent on the street however I didnt see junkies lined up at spot tho. Hoped I would.

[JayTrizzle]

Lol, it's 12 grams because the other two are going in your dude's veins.

[gameface]

^^^^^^ For real I thought that for a long time. However ask anyone else in WA state, and prob most of the west coast and Tar is 24 grams, maybe 25 grams in an "OZ". I have never seen it sold 28 grams in an OZ, a ball is 3, quarter is 6, half is 12 respectively. I know it seems like Im just getting beat, but thats just how it is in my part of the country.

[dieselbaby]

Yeah on the west coast and with most Mexican tar dealers I've found that their "ounces" are 25 gram pieces.

[kevin]

I live in North Florida, and I haven't seen real dope here but once. Pharmies are everywhere but expensive as all hell. All in all, it's a pretty lame scene.

[20Dollarholla]

Damn, reading this makes me feel opiate blessed or cursed depending how you look at it. It is easier to score dope where I'm at ( south of Canton, Oh) than weed. There is no street scene, but with everyone making runs to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, and Columbus its everywhere. The average junky knows of at least 10 people puttin in work on any given day.

Right now there isnt any stamps around, just wieght hittin at $150/g and balloons at $20.

[I-Nod]

It is easier to score dope where I'm at ( south of Canton, Oh) than weed.

Well shit... howdy neighbor! :D I'm just down the road in A-town, East of Canton.

Your scene definitely sounds lively and thriving compared to here. Curious... is it mainly powder or tar? Only asking cuz I seen there's a Columbus run and I don't know what Cleveland and Youngstown have to offer.

[20Dollarholla]

Oh there is a scene where your at too. I got a guy who stays in the A, slangs blue stamps. He was always on, up early too.

Down here its mainly powder, occasionally tar, but the tar loses its appeal quickley. Right now there is a darker colored powder floating around, it comes in nice big chunks and the high lasts a good 4-6. There is also pure white powder (no chunks) and its good for the first hour, but the high wears off quickly.

As far as the Youngstown scene, the best dope I have ever had came from there. I was only sniffin then, and after railing one bag I was projectile vomiting out the car window. Since then though the dope has been just average. In Cleveland the Ricans have the game on lock, the dope is usually O.K., but never as good as the Pittsburgh shit.

I have only been out of the corrections system for a week so I havent been able to sample everyones product. I was actually in a halfway house pretty close to you.

[Consumed.]

The scene is the fucking scene is the scene everywhere. NY will always have its fucking scene basically the same, Balt., Philly, Miami, etc everywhere else will always have trouble with their scene. Its just all about the population its never going to change greatly. Maybe the pill prices a bit that it.

[clinton]

as far as i know in my city the only drugs sold on the street are crack and meth....
i have known a few heroin users so im sure its here somewhere, maybe its simply
not available on a corner but instead can only be ascertained via telephone numbers and house meetings???
honestly though i havent really looked,ill stick with my pods...
i know that if i started in on heroin my life would take a nose dive...
im not saying that all people who use cannot handle it im just saying i know me,short half life,not having to wait on the mail man and iv plus me equal BAD SCENE!:rolleyes:

[clinton]

i just read the whole thread,apparently i stand corrected






oxykid...if you're at MSU just make the drive to kansas city or god forbid st louis, I GUARANTEE you'll score, if you know where to go (KC, Anywhere north of the river, just look for street junkie punks, or ask around where the ghetto is, not gonna tell you, cuz the only places i've ever gotten hooked up well by black gangsta types was in THE G H E T T O in downtown KC MO, and that place is NOT white accessible unless you know a quick way out. Only reason i even KNOW about that is because the guy I started getting my sweet, sweet grey powder from (that shit didn't even leave ANYTHING in the spoon, dissolved INSTANTLY, and made my entire BODY go numb from shot one, best shit i've ever had, beat the fuck out of west coast tar by far, but then again, H is coming back in a big way, so that may be why also) ANYWAY, this guy was what we call the BLOCK HOOKUP, when you actually live IN the city and not the burbs, you got these scattered white communities, mostly full of tweakers/redneck and their kids, you know, except in KC, the tweakers have money, it's really really odd. So what you have are juggalos (worthless for everything except for cheap schwag and girlfriend stealing if you want chlamydia), old guys (good for nugget and occasionally will point you in the direction of the BLOCK HOOKUP, some of them old guys get down, but not a lot, they all got families and shit, but they smoke weed like crazy and get stupid drunk every day lol), then you got the old guys kids that are like, early thirties/late twenties, and have prison tattoo's, talk about the gangs downtown, and are most likely on parole. Your BLOCK HOOKUP will be one of these guys. We met ours within one hour of moving into our house in the city. He rode by on a mini-chopper (seriously, only transport he had, drove ALL AROUND KC ROFL), got off, asked if we smoked, we happened to have some nugget so we smoked this guy out, and he starts slinging us schwag at REDICULOUSLY low prices. Find out this guy does A LOT of ice, gets A LOT of it, and sells it downtown to guys he met in jail that are trying to get the black crackheads downtown on ICE (cheaper in KC then buying coke), plus there's a large pop of hispanic tweakers downtown too, so there you go. Basically, I found out he was cooking on the block, but he knew his shit, cuz the fucker ended up using OUR HOUSE to sell out of, which by that point I had started slamming OC's and didn't really care about much anyway, had a good job, had warrants, had money and opie's everywhere, we were partying every weekend, dude would show up at like 3 in the am on the weekends smashed and STILL wide eyed, look like he'd been up for weeks, lol. Anyway, one of these drunk nights where we were having people over, and all my usuals were dry as fuck, I ask this guy if he knows anything about any pills. He's like, I got some oxies to sell you, but my boy supposedly has this fire ass boy for sale. I'm like, well all right then. Dude wants 200 a gram. I'm like, oh ok not all right then. Find another semi-reliable hookup the same night, and start slamming H. So within two weeks, from being in KC, just being there, not really looking, I found two potential hookups, with one paying immediatly (got two grams of bleh quality tar (hey shit is shit) for a bill). That guy ended up being an ok hookup, then out of the blue, the BLOCK HOOKUP rolls through one morning, SPUN THE FUCK out, with this tale about being waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay into the dark dark parts of the ghetto, meeting another guy to sell too, who runs shit out of an abandoned five bedroom in the hood, where literally, there would be a room of junkies slamming H, a room of tweakers smoking/slamming ice, a couple of rooms of ho's fucking dudes for cash or getting them beat and robbed, and crackheads literally smoking EVERYWHERE, on the porch, on the block, just, everywhere, lol. So he goes to sell this dude ice, and the guys like, you know anyone who likes that boy, and he's like yeah a couple people on my block, so he comes over with this tiny ass 1/4 gram, GIVES it to me (says he's been shooting speedballs for a week, ice/dope), and I'm like can you get it all the time, he's like oh yeah, saw a oh, COFFEE CUP sized chunk, says that's what his old man throws him to get rid of every week. So I slam that with my girl, and, man, I DON'T puke off of opies. I just never have. Until then. I got SOOOOO HIGH, puked, then the nausea went away and got even higher, whole body went numb, good old pins and needles. So just cuz you live in Mizzou don't mean there ain't shit around, you just gotta know the termanology (anywhere in KS/AR/OK/MO it's gonna be BOY), and know who to ask (YOUNGER tweakers with track marks who look like parolies are your first option when you are surrounded by rednecks, they will always know where to get ANYTHING, from constant roaming and tweaking, black crack dealers are your second option, don't expect ANY open air markets around for HOURS unless you go to St Louis, and I've never had too, so there ya go, KC is a pretty sure bet, just head to the old school hippy/punk haven called Westport, ask people how to get there, you'll be able to score in one of the bars if you ask around for boy and look for people who look like they are trying to sell something).

Pretty non-existent in my actual hometown, so I gotta drive usually, unless I come across some kinda crazy hook up in town - which has happened in the past, mainly pills - but it's rare. Luckily I'm no farther than 45 minutes away from multiple bounty spots.

[monkeyphunk]

where i currently live huntington beach ca there is no scene i have to take a ride up to LA to score for fucks sake there isnt even a methadone clinic near where i live but then again thats why i feel safe raisin my child there

[hydro chris]

OK before going any further, I should note that I realize that this post could technically be categorized in that "The Scene" subforum but there wasn't enough room for the entire title which would make more sense to ask. It was meant to say: What's the scene like in your hometown/What lengths do you have to go to in order to get dope?

I'll also let you know before going any further that this is kinda long, so skip down to the bold question if you just hurry things along.

Personally for me the amount of work necessary for me to put in to take a ride on the H train is almost comical. I had moved out to Bloomington, Indiana (Indiana University) a little over 2 years ago, finishing up my schooling and moving into a beautiful apartment with my long-term girlfriend. We love almost everything around here EXCEPT there is NO DOPE to be found. I had been lucky enough (if you even want to call it that) to be able to have a connection for some really expensive OC 80s (like $60 each expensive). At the time when I first got here I had been clean for my longest stretch since beginning opiates, so my tolerance wasn't too high. Slamming an 80 would still have me feeling decently high at the time, and while it wasn't something that I enjoyed doing (especially since it was so fucking expensive, and IV OC sucks and lasts for like 15 minutes) but back then I was still able to get pretty fucked up but my tolerance was quickly rising to 160, 240, and 300+ mg per shot. I had saved/made a lot of money during the period of time that I was clean (which was up until a few weeks before I moved to Indiana from NY) and wasted way too much of it on those $60 80s simply because there was nothing else around. I did just about EVERYTHING I could do to find dope in Bloomington for the first few months outside of just straight up asking every single person I saw on the street and aside from the occasional decently (but still overpriced) priced bulk pharm purchase that I could manage to get, I eventually had enough.

I had no luck here, which is strange to me because I know that HEROIN IS EVERYWHERE. This is a town of about 80,000 - half of them students and grad students under the age of 25. With all these people, there has to be some fellow junkies around here. We like everything about the town except for this lack of "medicine" - there's great people, it's nice and clean, the weather isn't too bad for most of the year, there's a ton of cool independent restaurants and shopping and all the amenities you'd expect to find in just about other place. So what's a heroin loving couple to do in such a situation? We started to get to work and make it a top priority and project of ours to find dope again, and find it quick.

Now there are definitely street scenes in many places you wouldn't expect. A lot of times most of this shit can be going on right under our noses and we hear about it from time to time yet don't know what to do for ourselves. This shit is in every single state in some way or another (obviously some more than others), yet we're 45 minutes from Indianapolis, which is a city with a population of over 1 million people. Definitely has to be some dope there, right? Well, we've tried just about everything there is there. We have driven around many side streets, sought out "ghetto" areas (which are a fucking joke compared to places in NY and NJ I regularly go), talked to bums/street people and done as much research online as we could to try and source out a possible area for an open air heroin spot. There are literally only 5 methadone clinics in the entire state of Indiana due to these ridiculous laws they have here, and they are all very strictly run. Any of the people that were lucky enough to get a limited spot into the methadone clinic in Indy certainly didn't want to help out a friendly stranger with scoring something. But these people have to be on methadone for a reason, it can't all be from prescription drug addiction, can it?

Figuring that Indianapolis is about a 3 hour drive from Chicago and Detroit 5 hours, it's pretty weird to think that there aren't any gangbangers at the very least in Indianapolis (you hear about gun violence and shootings on the news here all the time) that would ferry some down from these aforementioned dope havens and make some nice cash doing it. The problem is, the minimal street shit that we have encountered has all been crack, and we've asked crack dealers and been given the run around and even weird looks when trying to find some H. Maybe I'm just not trying the right areas.

Is it like this where you are too? No open-air scene- so do you have to get something mailed to you, drive to another city (sometimes several hundred miles and many hours away, I'll elaborate further below) or do you just go without? Are you lucky enough to have a private phone number dealer who you can just call and meet? I'd like to know if people are in a similar situation as me and my gf. For around a year we were driving over 800 miles each way (1600 miles round trip) from IN to my amazing dealers in NJ and spending aroud $1500 on 6 bricks every 3-4 weeks. This trip just became to be too much, as we were blowing a ton of money on hotels along the way - which we woul sometimes end up staying in for longer than exepected due to being too lazy to drive back. It was great always having dope but getting so much at once would not only be very fucking bad to get caught with, we were doing way too much and our tolerances were getting out of control. Not only that but the drive was putting a ton of miles on our car, we were disappearing from our IN friends for sometimes longer than expected and to be honest the drive is a brutal one (at least 12 hours long if you didn't stop at all, and 14 usually) and so mindnumbingly boring.

So in search for other options we decided to try friends in different cities that were within what we considered a reasonable driving range (2.5 hours each way). When we had a chance to score a connect for some really dank tar in Columbus, Ohio we decided we were going to start going there and picking up in bulk every few weeks even though it was a further drive than we wanted, 3.5 hours each way. Since it was closer than going back to NJ and we started out getting pretty good deals on what got us just as high as the best of the NJ powder, it was nice to make a weekend out of going out there and scoring $500-1000 on goodies and staying in a beautiful and cheap $99/night Hilton Garden Inn we found right near where we had to go. My girl and I are suckers for partying it up in a good hotel and loved to do it whenever possible. Every few weeks soon turned into every week and the price of the balls of tar went up, and the size would fluctuate. While it was getting annoying it was still our best option, until we trusted our connect and spend enough time with him to trust him to send us in the mail. That worked for a short while until we were ripped off for a measly $200 bucks, which really was stupid of our connect since we were his only regular customers who bought in bulk, weren't in debt to him for hundreds of dollars and I make a point of being as professional and straightforward with people as possible. He made plenty of money from us and for him to waste the opportunity of making consistent money and the many favors we did for him. Plus, we were kind of friends with him and would sometimes hang out and we got to know him pretty well. So it was also pretty stupid because if I were the type of person to seek revenge over my lost money I have all his information, he runs his mouth about a lot of shit including his supplier whose phone number I have, her dealer's name, his last name, his home address and phone number, all his friends, where he works, etc. Luckily for him I'm not the type of person to exact revenge on someone over $200, and in the end I'm sure he'll get what's coming to him which hopefully involves him being forced to withdrawl from his ridiculous habit cold turkey, preferrably in a cell somewhere so he can really be miserable.

So with the tar out of the picture, other options were put back into play. We decided that we were going to scour our entire hometown for heroin as hard as possible. We hit the streets for hours for 3 days straight, trying to find sketchy people, talking to people who chill and smoke weed at this local park and even random people who look like they might know anything. I thought I almost had luck when I met this black guy who called himself "St. Louis" and claimed he could "get me some boy". He didn't have a cell phone so I was pretty sure he was gonna flake out but I gave him my number anyway and told him to call. He promised he would and never did. He was from Detroit and so we decided our best route would be to find more of these black drug dealers from mostly Detroit around town and approach them. There is apparently a problem with crack and heroin here according to the local paper and a search of their website only brings up a few articles, with less than 5 people busted in the last 3 years for something heroin-related, and a father/son OD a few years back. These all seem like isolated incidents of people just like me who have to get their own shit and bring it in. We also plan on trying to hit up NA meetings looking for people who obviously don't want to be there, or people who go there to sell drugs (yes it happens). We'll also be hitting up this local homeless hangout by this church during the day to see if anyone there knows anything but it's unlikely.

I'm not going to settle for this overpriced pharmaceutical bullshit so now we've been taking the slightly further (than Columbus) drive to Chicago to cop there. Luckily the first time there we found a street connect, got his number, re-met up a few times and bulked up and actually managed to luck out with someone legitimate. The story of how I met this guy is absolutely insane and truly deserves it's own thread which I plan on posting when I get the time to type it out and I will never forget the day it happened, that's for sure. So right now we are enjoying some of Chicago's finest, which I must say is a lot better than i expected. I'm used to dope from Paterson NJ which I always thought was really good and a crazy place to cop, but the west side of Chicago truly is an open air paradise. There are hundreds upon hundreds of spots spread out across a huge area - and if you're white and have your window cracked (this doesn't even need to be cracked) you will hear everyone outside yelling out "rocks, blows.... pull up, park" and if you are experienced in scoring in the hood you can do pretty well for yourself. The drive sucks and we've had to do it without staying at a hotel since we had just paid off a big credit card debt at the time and decided to take Adderall and drive all day instead of sleeping somewhere outside Chicago. Plus we'd rather use the money for the hotel on more dope anyway.

Right now I'm working on a few things to make my situation better, but I guess it could be worse, right? It is pretty sick that I drive a little over 3.5 hours each way to Chicago to pick up but I know I'm not the only person out there doing this, I just can't be. And I'm sure that there are people who go out for that drive and pick up even less at a time than I do - I'm only getting for personal use. Hopefully it'll turn up locally soon and it won't totally suck. Even if it was a little more expensive than what I get in Chicago or NJ and a little less quality I wouldn't mind since it wouldn't be such a fucking hassle just to stay from being miserably sick. I wish there weren't such a stigma attached to heroin, specifically. It makes it a lot harder to bring up to people and heroin junkies tend to stick to themselves anyway. So I guess we'll just see what happens. Let me know what the scene is like where you guys are at, and if you ever had to do as I do in order to keep the ball rolling.

If you actually read all this, :whip2_1:you are awesome and let's be friends. Otherwise, just post up your answer to the bolded question above. Love, Dieselbaby.

PS: The pain management clinics and doctors are all really strict as well, which is a shame because I have really really fucked up shoulders that have popped out of their sockets at least 100 times, and really need surgery to re-tighten the ligaments and keep the humeral head in place so it won't happen anymore. It's incredibly painful, and due to tendonitis, inflammation and the fact that it often pops out in the middle of the night, my entire shoulder/neck/upper back area often has me in excruciating pain. Luckily I should be getting a new MRI soon that may help me out.

bro.. you and your girl are troooopers.

I know we are :). Luckily that was a long time ago and we now have an ILL local connect! If you are interested in reading the CRAZY story about how we found it, be my guest: http://forum.opiophile.org/showthread.php?t=19681&highlight=unexpected+places+found

[Narkotikon]

I should first say that I don't use heroin anymore. I've not done it since Jan. 2007. It's not that I don't like it or anything, it's that I REFUSE to put myself in danger like that (more on that to follow).

The street scene where I live is very very ghetto. Which isn't that surprising, but yeah, I don't like being ghetto. It basically consists of the dealers standing on the corners, with the customers driving by very slowly, with their windows rolled down or half-way down or something like that. You listen for a whistle, or a shout, or something like that. Then you quickly pull over to the curb. They then come up, ask you what you want, then they either do it right then and there, or more likely they get into your car, which I always hated, then they have you drive to some other location and make the deal there.

That was always my experience, and the last time I paid 100 for half a gram, and it turned out to be bunk shit that dilated my pupils. NEVER again will I do that.

I'm sure there's better ways to go about it. Finding dealers with numbers, then using said number to call and make arrangements that way, but I was never too interested in getting to know dealers. Didn't want to get too involved. I just wanted my shit, and then wanted to get the hell out of there.

And what the fuck is up with dealers using you as a fucking taxi service. Some times, they'd have me make stops for them. "Yeah, I need to run into this place, or that place" and it wasn't even for the drugs. It was so they could buy a pack of smokes or a 40oz or some shit like that. I'm not a fucking taxi service bitch, and I'm not your friend. This is a BUSINESS transaction. I hated dealing with street thugs, which is why I've not done it in a little over two years now. I will NOT do that again. I like my life, freedom, and car too much to do that.

And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. I know plenty of people probably do it. It's a part of the game that this life (involving street drugs) entails. I'm just saying it's not for me. I much prefer pods / pharms or something like that.

[baysteve]

i feel blessed to have the same connect for over 6 years with a number..only 45 minutes on busline 22 (aka the heroin trail)

[MMC]

i feel blessed to have the same connect for over 6 years with a number...

i've got just about the same situation. i've been dealing with the same person for about 4-5 years now, and he started selling boy mainly because he knew he was missing out on making money on me. i was buying rock from him for years (have since stopped...thankfully), but when i moved from painkillers to diesel i kept asking him to pick some up for me since i didn't have a direct connection at the time. i guess he was sick of doing this as a favor for me because he wasn't really making any money on it, so he started buying in bulk and selling. now he consistently has good product and the size is generally pretty good. hell, a lot of times if i get him right after he re-ups he will just give me chunks to save himself from having to grind it up.

around me there's not really an open air market per se, but when i was without a cell phone for a bit i always used the same payphone and was approached probably a half-dozen times by people offering product. of course it was mainly rock that they were offering, but i did make a couple of decent connects for diesel.

[deathmau5]

I like in Central Jersey.. about 45-50mins from Newark. Too scared to hit the open-air.
Have one single fucked up junkie connect who charges $10 a bag plus $5.
Theres one guy in my area who a big-time pusher and I can't seem to find somebody who knows him to give me the hook.

[trainwrecker]

I used to do the same bullshit for years. I live in a tiny little town in Northern Michigan about 4 hours from Detroit. I was driving to either Detroit or Lansing sometimes 4 or 5 times a week. Sometimes I would roll into town and roll right back down again. Fucking insane.

Luckily I'm on the legal dope now, subs.

[Raz]

Its too fuckin easy....15/20 min away.....Gypsy hood, maybe 10 different houses selling coke/smack..

[chopstix]

Too easy here too - usually 5-10 minutes, tops.. Open and shady, small town, lots of cops and cameras and LOTS of dope. Huge dope scene in the woods on the edges of town too, I've never seen so much dope in the woods - it gets hotter than fuck..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD36JmK4q4I&feature=PlayList&p=845133C777D24825&index=0&playnext=1

its a good video, for anyone with any interest in dope or related.

Everyone needs to watch this..

I'm almost through the second video, it's really good.

[InfectedMushroom]

It's crazy down there Amber, but I love the city and know what it's like.

[OxiContinKing]

Everyone needs to watch this..

I'm almost through the second video, it's really good.

agreed, im halfway through the second one as well, and im hooked, will definatley be watching them all as we speak...

[AmblerG]

I know, right. It's a great documentary. I'm surprised that the philadelphia police was able to have the journalist and film crew with them due to liability.

oh and I think its the 3rd of the 6 episodes, the large white-kinda guy with the white escalade. yeah, he runs shit. seems nice on camera but he will have ya merked by dawn if you step on his feet.
5th and Indiana is nowhere to mess around. Sometimes the cops hang out in the abandoned houses or on the roof tops, and radio in the car types that just appeared to have got shit. thats one of the worst ways they get ya.

[NOLA]

agreed, im halfway through the second one as well, and im hooked, will definatley be watching them all as we speak...

Yeah, I finished them all.

Shit was pretty tight, Philly doesn't look much like New Orleans at all.

[Russellmeboy]

where i live, theres multiple junkies on each street, and theres probably thousands of dealers 15 min in any direction

[losangeleslifer]

The projects around are pretty quiet as opposed to years before, but they still got everything you want. Most everyone uses cell phones, pick up and delivery. Have to say that it sure makes the streets look better.

Now the deeper in LA, the projects SC, Echo Park the Compton blocks are still as hot as ever and haven't changed much over the years. More open air exchanges, who needs to make a call when the dope man is standing everywhere.

[dieselbaby]

Apparently Santa Ana is where all the SoCal peeps near Newport Beach get their BTH on...

[OxyBlowBall2]

theres a scene in my hometown?

I think I am the scene...

haha i hear you on that bro. thats exactly like my hometown. its like me and my 2 friends that make up the scene, and thats just oxy and other ope pills. im the only one out of them that has done dope. i dont think i know anyone in my town that does dope. if there is a scene for that, its relatively small. i always had to go into RI to get my shit. i know its in the town thats next to mine cause ive read about busts and stuff in the papers but i dont know anyone that deals with it.

[Hoss]

Opiate scene in my hometown is alive yet it seems it mostly comes from out of town; gotta really know someone and in that case you'll probably only get an offer for some very overpriced OC's.

Gotta drive for the goods.

[SHELLEY]

And what the fuck is up with dealers using you as a fucking taxi service. Some times, they'd have me make stops for them. "Yeah, I need to run into this place, or that place" and it wasn't even for the drugs. It was so they could buy a pack of smokes or a 40oz or some shit like that. I'm not a fucking taxi service bitch, and I'm not your friend. This is a BUSINESS transaction.

back in 04-05 had to drive my fucking dealers girlfriend and her pit bull
to goddamn atlanta with her blasting b2k all the way from miami :mad:

once we got to where we were goin tho, i was glad i went

gotta love tha atl.....born and raised, anything is a call and 30 min away (depends on what side of town you gotta go to) cant beat the music either.

[NYjunkie]

I'm back in my country (Italy) from NYC (miss soooo much)...i live in a medium-size city in the south, and here the scene is really good...in my case is very easy to score...i live 10 minutes from the centre of the city, in a quite area full of gardens and my dealer is used to smoke (he chase the dragon) in his car parked near my house, that is the last before the beginning of a big park...so whn i need to score, i just have to call him and ask for ring my fone whn he's in the spot, at this time i walk my dog and take the shit...sumtimes if i need dope in a different moment of the day he can delivery and is so fuckin fast or i can met him in a sport-bet place (he's totally addicted with betting on sport...lol)...stuff is FIRE cuz he's an user too so he sell the same shit that he use for himself..my old dealer was even better...was a girl that only sell at home for few ppl..u just have to knock the door...she was very gentle...we were friends and i was used to shot or smoke at her place..clean place, free needles, sterile water and junkie chatting..
We have open-air market too but really really suxXx here...u have to go in projects that are full of shit ppl and is VERY dangerous (i think worst than BK...trust me...these ppl is crazy..sum of them have HORSES in theirs apartments..LOL) u can get a knife in ur stomach just cuz u "was looking too much"....there's ppl outside the building that ask what u need and then they say to u what's the apt (sum apt are for coke, other for H, other for weed...) Dope in open air market is like a easter-egg...u can be lucky and get a FIRE dope or be dumbed.
Then there's a "Classic" scene that's the one outside the meth clinic...this one is really funny...is full of old-school hardcore junkies...good for exchange if u need meth or buprenorphine in change of sum H or some euros (or just if u need a bike or a car stereo or a new cell phone).
that's all.
Dope quality is good here..but i miss NYC fine white powder :)

[Papa Verine]

Right now I'm living in a suburb of Chicago. Straight west of the city... So, I can drive or take a train into Chicago and cop in open air markets on the west side. I don't do this anymore, used to, and found a few good people with good dope, but it takes time and effort. I've been out of the game too long to know so I'd kinda have to start over.

In the suburbs there are a few people who sell but they usually up the price a little or something. In my younger years I knew some people with excellent H, in the suburbs, all white people. The whole clan got split up and I'm all alone now. My options for heroin are limited. I had a couple women who were getting me high regularly for nothing about a year ago, but they have since moved on, or I have, I don't know.

I maintain with poppy seed/pod tea. Occasionally get a few bags thrown my way, or I have the opportunity to buy a jab, and I'll do some dope. It's been weeks now since I've had anything besides seeds. And even they just got shittier.

In a couple months I'll have a whole bunch of fresh pods. Yum. Hurray for June! I HATE the fuckin winter here and this year it's dragging on.

[nick]

It's pretty much all cell phone only in England now.

Only exception maybe parts of Moss side.Hey Sim,can you still score on the street around gooch close?

[sp33dballin]

here's how the scene is in my town..

http://www.itemlive.com/articles/2009/04/18/news/news01.txt

[AmblerG]

sp33dballin- wow, cool article. That guy had some 95% pure bags. DAMN!!

[InfectedMushroom]

Fuck those peoples comments in the article though.

[okie dokie]

i live in tulsa, i have NEVER seen, known, or heard of any sort of dope seen here.....
which is odd beacuse tulsa has had a big rep for bein a dope town, mode popular by larry clark in the 70's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_(book)

so either the scene is dead or i am nieve to it.

[okie dokie]

its a good video, for anyone with any interest in dope or related.

THAT dude looks like a fuckin chump walkin around with that bullet proof vest on!!

[stephenISall]

Apparently Santa Ana is where all the SoCal peeps near Newport Beach get their BTH on...


thats true. i lived in santa ana for about a year. it was technically a "sober living" house but i called it a crackhouse. the house manager was a hardcore crackhead. i mean HARD FUCKING CORE. i used to pay my rent with cocaine. i got robbed 2 blocks from my house walking home at 8pm for 12 bucks. when i first moved into that house it was ok. a coupe sober people. thats untill i tore that motherfucker off. and i tore it hardddddddd. eventually the sober people moved out cause the manager was slipping back into crack and my dope/cocaine/pill/ice habit was getting very very VERY large.

so after about a month, the only people who lived there were dope fiends. it turned into a meeting place. and i had the BEST dealer in all of santa ana. the guy was older, had set hours (closed at 5 which obviously has its problems) and was just cool to me. he used to call me "chicago" because im from chicago. over time , everyone got to know this guy so i lost my power if you know what i mean. he'd come over alot of times in the morning, just walk in the house and sit down and watch tv with whoever was out there at the time. sometimes no one. and he'd just wait for people to come over or call him and they'd come over to meet him at our "sober living house"

it was a fucking wild scene. especially because our manager was so addicted to porno. literally he'd have on at LEAST 2, usually 3 or 4 tv's or computer screens with a porno on. he'd make his own "toys", he'd put on these red boots (dont ask) and THEN and only then, would he take a hit. this guy had a crack/porno ritual. then he'd lock his door and put all t his shit against it like it was fort nox. cleaning all night, watching porno and just yelling random shit. then he'd wake you up at 4am SCREAMING that he needs a lighter RIGHT NOW. "i got to have a lighter hurry up hurry up i need it!"

needlesss to say... i NEVER felt safe in that house. and what was worse, i had money. lots and lots of money. and it was all in CASH. at one point i had 15,000 in cash. it was horrible in a way cause i knew everyone had their eyes on me and t hey'd rob me IF i gave them the chance. but im no idiot, at that point id been using heroin for over 10 years from chicago(a REAL heroin scene) and knew how to take care of myself.

peop0le in CA(the junkies) were just "soft." best way to describe them. they just didnt have a hustle. they'd wake up and if they couldnt think of any ways to get money, alot of times they'd lay around and complain about how much it sucks to be sick...... WTF IS THAT?? where i come from, you DONT stop till you have dope no matter if it takes 15 hours. but some of these people,,., they just didnt seem like they belonged at all.

0one of my best friends was 39 and hed been shooting heroin since his 13th bday. i learned alot from him just how they lived and did things in CA and its ALOT different than chicago. ALOT different. and i wasnt living with junior junkies at all. most of the people had 20+ years of use behind them. i at the time was 26/27 and i was the youngest one ever living there.

we had people come and go. our crackhead manager charged us around 140 a week to stay at a crackhouse. but i would pay him early in the week when he was jonesing and get a weeks rent for like $70, which was a teener of powder to me.

anyway, thats how santa ana was for me. and thats a SHORT version believe me. alot of shit hapepend in that house. alot of crazy stories. alot of drug use. once we got the ball rolling, EVERY SINGLE DAY there was hardcore illegal drug use going on. EVERY FUCKING DAY. it never stopped. never. and i never felt safe.


and thats what i think of when i see or hear about "santa ana" so you were right when you heard that santa ana has a scene or in my case, WAS the scene for drugs. hope this helps :cool:

[shotty]

In my hometown, to my knowledge I know only one guy and he's got hookups in a big city a few hours away. I don't use H, but he sells other things. Today one of his "associates" tried to make me front money, I asked if I could come with them, they said no, so then they drove off. 5 minutes later, I'm pissed and know I'm about to withdrawal, but they call and say meet back and I'm going because I'm either going to get revenge or get hooked up. It works out, they got the goods and I still can't believe it. I've never had this happen in my hometown, everything is reliable and I've never seen a dry spell, thats what I hear from friends.

[NOLA]

here's how the scene is in my town..

http://www.itemlive.com/articles/2009/04/18/news/news01.txt

He was giving away free samples?

What the fuck, I thought that was only on TV or some shit.

[PrisonHer]

nah ..one of the *dudes* around here does that. Mostly because he's *new* in town and trying to get his business going. It's a one or two time thing..after that you gotta have the green to get the brown. Hmm..I wonder how come I never meet people like that when I'm sick? But you won't find him standing around anywhere..it's a word of mouth and passing of the number kinda thing.

Alot of *dudes* around here give out freebies if you *hook* them up with a new custie's..or just get out of jail..or say you're tryin' to stop using.

Someone else mentioned this as well..but the some of the comments left after that article were fucked up.

I guess shit in New Orleans is just different.

The scene down here seems like it's a little more low key, than most other cities, especially compared to the northeast. You would think that we would be flooded in it, but it's really not like one would imagine.

But regardless, I've never met anyone handing out anything for free, much less some H.

hey nola..what *is* the scene like down there now? I'm most likely moving to new orleans at the end of may/ start of june. I've been down plenty of times..but usually I bring what I need with me. Although right before new years 2000 I met up with some squaters who hooked it up. I doubt they are still there though. So..I'm just curious if it's easy to score? Is it mostly call service? heroin? Pharmies?

I do have 2 full scripts of suboxone I'm gonna hold on to..just in case I run into some trouble finding anything.

H is around, it's just kind of hard to find.

I usually have to mostly stick to OCs, and whatever, because running across any decent H is few and far between. And whenever I have run across it, I haven't been too impressed.

I guess there is great powder down here, that blows OC away.. But you just have to know the right people.

There really isn't open air..Not like what I read about on here anyway. You can cop in certain areas, but it's a long shot at best.

It's mostly powder though, from what I see, but tar is definitely around here too.

You moving down here for any particular reason? I've been here for all of my life, so I guess I'm a bit jaded about being down here, but it really is a very unique place.

[libertine]

all cell phones here, some areas if you are in the right neighborhood and you know the right names you can get hooked up, straight too...

i live in the sad, shit-infested, huge state that was the only one that could be called an independent nation.

and to the above poster, i have friends and have gone to rehab with people who hailed from tulsa, and they said it was all fucking oxy up there, more so than dope

My family lives in there. I've never been close to them, never spent much time around them, and I just lost my dad so I'm ready to move on and just kinda get to know my *roots*. I work at a bar here and the owner is hooking me up with a buddy of his that owns a bar there so he's hooking me up with a job. It's all set up..all I gotta do is show up. One of the girls who works at the bar there is gonna put me up in her pad till I can get it together. So yeah..that's it. I'm pretty good at finding the right or wrong people..depending on how you look at it..but if there is dope there hopefully I'll find it. If you don't mind me asking how much $$ are you putting down for an oc?

That's cool though, I hope you enjoy it.

OC is usually $20 for 40, $30 for 60, $40 for 80. Sometimes more, sometimes less.. But that's about the usual.

If you will be living downtown/uptown, you shouldn't have a problem meeting the right people. Even it is just for pharms, I doubt you will have a problem. There are tons of quack pain management doctors down here, so the pharms are usually relatively easy to get. So at least you have that. But H has that ridiculous stigma, so it's usually just a bit more underground, even though it runs in similar circles.

Also, it's a good thing that you have someone that is going to put you up for a while. Rent is still fucking outrageous, it really hasn't dropped very much since katrina.

thanks for the insight nola. Damn those oxy's. I'm spoiled around here cuz an 80 is $15 bucks..but atleast you don't have to pay a dollar an mg. It's still a month before I move..and alot can happen in that month. But I'm still pretty stoked to get outta new mexico and into new orleans..even if it only ends up being for a short while. why do you stick around if it bums you out so much?

[NOLA]

why do you stick around if it bums you out so much?

Yeah, I ask myself the same question all the time.

I don't mean to make it sound all bad, because it's really not. I love the city, it just isn't quite the same as it used to be. Besides, it's really the only place I've ever known, it would be hard just to pack up and go.

I had a couple friends move to Hawaii after Katrina.. they just packed up and went, without knowing anyone. I've always been envious of people that are able to do that, maybe one day I will...

[Spaazkaz]

Watched the scene in my hometown (upstate NY) go from zero to 60 within a couple years, the older heads tell me it was just dead for ~5 years. Maybe it was just the circle I knew but its a relatively small city that ive been in my whole life and ive never even heard of a dope arrest until a couple years ago. Some pharmies, some dope, no open air. Bags run 15-25, 150-200 B, about a 5 hour drive down to the city (how the tax is justified). Living in rochester now but stayin pretty clean (bupe), there is open air here but the couple/few times ive been downtown I must be in the wrong (or right) spot... driving in a sea of red and blue flashing lights, no idea how I got out of there. Anyway its around, just gotta play the streets and have that junky perception. -Spaz-

[jcmanny]

Really shitty tar. I was trying to cop some h due the price rise on oxys and my dealers all say that the tar is so shitty that it's not worth it. I'm sure in Detroit there is better stuff (or someone from the area can get good stuff) but I just don't have the connections.

One dealer had a line on some east coast white but it never happened. :(

[seven10kids]

Well here is So Cal, we got it pretty good.

Opies
H - Tar -I usually don't partake, occasionally smoke a lil off foil but have never copped more than a g at a time. Usually got to go to the homeless bums downtown, sometime you can get a legit tar hookup from some mexis but they usually don't deal with anyone that is too white and if they do they just tax the fuck outta u. No China white whatsoever, never seen it to this day. Have seen some pretty good tar thu.

Oxy - we get it pretty good, in the valley it can get quite rediculasly low like 25 an 80. Pharm prices are pretty much 15 each, maybe like 12.50 but I round it to 15 to make it easy. Usually only see 80s 40s and 60s. Adverage price is 40$ an 80 and half of that for a 40 about 30-35 for a 60. Its all really relative but they seem to be very abundant.

Bars - Xanax- Street wise pretty available, sometime scarace. I am not really that into them and the 30 that the dr gives me is more than enough so I am never really looking. A LOT of High School kids LOVE xanny bars, or zb's (even tho xanax starts with an x)

Bud- Oh we got bud. Everyone has it. Oz goes for anywhere from 250-320 for standard. 320 would be the BOMB stuff, sumtimes you will see some 400dollar stuff, but rarely, the market I see wont pay outta control prices unless everyone is out and it is really really good stuff. I know a few growers but even they buy bud most of the time. Most adverage is commercial grade for about 280 an oz. Sometimes we see oil and hash but not very often. Hard to comeby shwag but it is 60$ an oz. or like 200 a qp. sometimes taxed for up to 4 a q.

suboxone - Seems to be a bigger market for these lately, most kids don't really have that bad of a habit but it really becomes a problem bc it takes all their money, then their partent flip out and send them to rehab cuz they couldnt pay rent last month and now they believe they are addicted to OC when an 80 would kill them bc of their low tolerance, I bet these kids actually get high as fuck off the subs.\

Coke - Not really around that much, way more meth around. Cheaper and better high, only down side is the whole ruin your whole life thing, but I don't like meth anyways, makes my dick get small and my jaw hurt too much. I like food and sleep, and sex. 50 a g. 120 a ball (maybe 90 if you are well connected) 175 a quad. 6 an oz.


Extasy - No one really wants this. I am probably the only one in town that love MDMA. It is my favorite but kinda burt myself out on it. After the lymphoma im trying to be as organic as possible, and I concider oxy a dirivitive of the poppy.

Opana- only saw these one time.

Roxi - These just started to get more popular. 15bux a pop or maybe breaks to 10 if you get a bunch.

[bodytec]

This is AL.
There is waaaaay more coke here than H. Coke is so easy to get too,soo easy.I fuckin hate that shit tho. You can just ride to the projects and ask any person walking and they will hop right in w/you and pull right around the corner,jump out and be back with damn near pure coke every time.
With H,ther is so much hassle,it is ridiculous! I'm not kidding,if i had to go thru some of the shit i've seen people go thru for "boy",i'd've already caught a murder case!! My connect is very different tho. Easy,that's all i'm sayin.
I really have it easy and would never complain about my situation. The powder H is good here,solid tan brick chunks,but $25 a tenth!

By the way-why has this turned into a 'prices on every drug' thread?
The title as about H,that means heroin,and what the 'scene' for H is like.
Sorry-just buggin'.

[duck]

Damn, tar making it all the way to Michigan. I think Duckfeets prophecy may be fulfilling.

Damn, tar making it all the way to Michigan. I think Duckfeets prophecy may be fulfilling.

Sheeet there is tar in Ohio too!

[JeSt]

Sheeet there is tar in Ohio too!


This is true. But the tar is more down by Columbus and shit. Up north, where I'm from... it's all powder. From Cleveland & Canton/Akron area, all the way to Toledo, it's just powder. I've never personally seen tar. lol.

Yeah mostly it's seen in C-bus and Cincinnati but it has even spread to Y-town over the past few years.

[JeSt]

Damn, really? I haven't been to the Y in so damn long.. haha.. I hate that city.

[deekin]

Based on SWIM's experience here in Omaha, granted SWIM has only been here for 3.5 years, pills are way more popular than h. Vicodin, percocet, oxy (10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 80 mg), and every once in a while morphine. Oxy tends to be about .50/mg, vicodin about $3-$5 per pill, same with percocet. For the oxy its not really a good deal, but sounds like its definitely better than in other parts of the country.

It took SWIM a while to find an H connect. After talking to some people, looking for methadone clinics, and judging based on the number of arrests involving h, SWIM is pretty sure it is a very small scene. SWIM has only been getting tar, about $25 per point or so, but recently got the opportunity to get some powder. The powder blows the tar out of the fuckin water. Better rush, lasts longer, more euphoric, and definitely stronger, so you get more bang (haha) for your buck. No open markets as far as SWIM knows, all cell phone contacts.

[Contemporarium]

It really wasn't that hard for me to find my dealer at all. I knew this junkie, and I had been wanting to try heroin, so I called and asked himif he could get me H. He told me "I don't want to get you into that shit." but when I offered to buy him a balloon, he obliged. I also told him he had to introduce me to his dealer.

My dealer is very legit. I call her almost every day, go to her house, and she has a slot in her window that fits money/dope through perfectly. So I usually just go up to her window, give her the money, she hands me the dope, done deal. Simple as that. It's about 1/3rd of a gram for 30 bucks.

And that's pretty much it!

[buc]

Here in Central Texas its all about weed and coke...........and there's lots of both.......at rock bottom prices. Coke $60-$75 an eighth.........weed $350-$450 lb..

There's not a real big Op scene. Most all H is tar. Although a few years back there was real good powder..........a light coco color........around.
Swim not big into H........every now and then. $20 has got him a piece (tar) about the size of a marble.....a few times.

Sticking to pharms.......and there's lots.
Vals, xans and hydros seem to be the faves. $2-$4 each and big breaks on quanity.

Oxy comes up fairly often.
But it's unheard of here spending the $1 a mg on them.
Most people Swim knows don't like them. And will give him a call when they come up. $10-$15 max on the 80's.
A couple of years ago an older guy gave him two bottles.........one 40's the other 80's.
He had them after his wife has passed from cancer.
When he gave them to Swim a couple buddies who were with him said.........those things are shit.......they'll make you sicker than fuck.
