anyone ever get lucky and find a hiding spot with stash?

[opiobsessed]

Has anyone here that has or knows of anyone who has just by luck, happened to be walking through the woods or any secluded area and been at the right place at the right time? For example if you were walking along and by luck you weren't seen, but in the far distance saw H dealers armed etc while someone dug up the ground enough to access a big plastic waterproof container or just dug up a few big wrapped up "bricks" I think they call them of pure Heroin, with say each "brick" being worth thousands on the street. After taking a few "bricks" out to re supply their customers for a while, you notice them close the container and happen to notice they still have some stashed in the container and then carefully close up the area and make the dirt look untouched?

I dream of such luck, the adrenaline rush pumping through my veins and heart if I was lucky to come across a situation like that, also being lucky enough to not be seen and shot dead. Just think, I could wait an hour while I ride my bicycle home and come back with a car and park it where it can't be seen, take off plates and hide em in car, have trunk popped and ready to open up as soon as I get back to car, then carefully ride back to the scene of "heavens treasure chest" on bike with a shovel and a heavy duty big black garbage bag and go to work and quickly dig up the area and take all the goodies, hopefully in one load back to car and load up and put bike in trunk so I can still shut the trunk all the way.

All the time on the ride home I would be shaking so hard with excitement and adrenaline rush as I hope somebody up there is watching out for me and I get home safe and sound. Rush inside with enough H to get off methadone, with at least a year or more supply of pure H to be in bliss with and enjoy life to its fullest for a long time to come. With the best bonus of not getting caught getting it home and well hidden at home. This is a dream for me, that would almost be better than winning millions in the lottery to me.

So does anybody know of anyone lucky enough to hit paydirt bigtime like that?
Speaking of such a possible find, I read in some news article about the strangest stuff that was starting to wash up on shore on beaches in california or florida I think. Well the wrong person "one who isn't into drugs" happened to be walking along the beach and found a huge "brick" that had washed up on the beach, it was of course shrinkwrapped and saran wrapped good and was like the size of a book and had some symbol on both sides like a gang symbol or some word etc. Anyway what did the idiot do? he took it to the pig station and said they found it washed up on the beach, the police were glad to get it and found out it was pure cocaine that must have fallen off or been thrown overboard for later retrieval by a drug cartel that may have been noticed.

The stuff was estimated at a street value of like $100,000, and yet the dumb do gooder got no reward for its turn in, which is probably why he turned it in, plus he probably thought that if he got caught by the cartels who went back to get it, that he would be put to a horrid death.

So after reading that article, I thought DAMN, if only my life would make a big turn around and my "ship" would finally come in and I could get lucky and find a cartels hiding spot in the woods like I described. Some might think I would be crazy to loot all of it at once and only take like one brick every now and then, but that would be even dumber, because every time I would go there I would greatly tip the odds against me that I would get killed, because I'm damn sure that people like that keep a GOOD count on each "brick" they store and each and every time they open up their hiding spot and record what was taken and what was left behind.

All this has me itching for lady luck to come my way someday soon.

[JonnyMohawk]

I value my life more then heroin, so if I came across armed dealers in the woods, I would just turn around and walk back to my car and leave.

Just being there would endanger your life, let alone stealing from them.

[Ickyuck]

I've *heard* of ppl finding stash in places such as bushes in the city (Baltimore mainly). Of course it will never be me. :(

Speaking of "Stash", I've been tearing up my room thinking I stashed some oxy's somewhere, yet I'm having no luck so far. :(

[BlueMajick]

No woods-dealers type situation where i live.

However Icky... I've torn apart my room millions of times over looking for secret stash that i forgot about...and one time when i actually wasn't in withdrawals searching in desperation, but instead had been clean for months and just happened to look in a box, i found 3 7.5mg hydrocodone, so you can bet that was a party day... those three had me good after being clean for 3 months.

Good luck in your searches.

[OverDriven]

Lol...OP has a wild imagination :) I don't think many dealers bury bricks in the woods. If it did happen though, you can bet your ass I would risk mine to get it.

[Deadfiend]

Pipe Dreams my friend, make for good nod thoughts and daydreams in wasted time though.
I think it would be much better to win millions in the lottery, and then trust me when I say you could get what you wanted from anywhere,high level clean dealers, and Dr.'s love rich patients,you could even get clean if you wanted.:)

[Narkotikon]

I tend to agree with JM. If I were to come across armed dealers and their stash, I'd be walking in the other direction.

I've never found anything other than a pill or two that I had (stupidly) lost while too high. I'm usually very careful when I have stuff, and I like to keep them on me at all times in a pill bottle in my pocket or something like that. So, I don't usually end up loosing much. The only times I really "stash" stuff is when I've been in a benzo black-out, and then I'll take all the cushions off of couches, open up china cabinets, etc., looking for hiding places. I don't know why. Then of course I won't remember where in the hell I've put stuff the next morning because I was blacked out. I know there's probably either some Ativan or Klonopin that I had from back in 2007 when I first moved back home somewhere in this house, but who knows where that is. I've given up looking for it.

As for major "stashes," I know that when I used to buy shit on the street, the dealers or their runners would usually have to run to a mailbox to get their drugs if you wanted anything more than a bag or two. In Over-The-Rhine in Cincinnati, there's all these row houses, and they have those old-time mailboxes on the buildings, and since that's crack / dope haven, a lot of the street dealers hide their shit in the mailboxes, especially on abandoned houses. I don't think I'd ever just go walking down the street opening up mailboxes though. I'm sure they're monitored.

[LovemRx]

you'd have a much better chance of finding a stash house in NY or Baltimore or something. Then just break in and get the shit n RUN

[The_Highwayman]

I remember a member here at one time said he saw a stash of a dealer put in a garbage bin of major metro city, he scoped the scene nad made a run for it and got the gear and got away...as best I remember the post...I always said if I found a stash I wouldn't touch it, you never know who is watching you or it, or whose involved the LAST thing I ever want is a gang after me...

**As I was writing this I remember one time when I was working security at a night club, we had on-duty cops working with us and one of them dipped..I asked him for some and he said sure and gave me the keys to his police SUV..I opened the car and looked for the tin when I came across two bundles of dope..to say I was shocked was an understatment...I grabbed the dip and locked the car back up, with the smack on my mind..later that night he told me he has heading to the club when he saw two guys cooking up on their front porch, he stopped them and grabbed their dope, he called them "decks" I asked him if he arrested the guys and he said no, just took their drugs..he had a good laugh at that..then he said he's just gonna toss them out when he gets a chance..in later telling this story to my junkie supervisor friend he told me I should have taken it..I told him that he would notice two bundles of heroin gone, but he said I should have taken like 2 bags off each bundle, that made more sense....

[Leave it ta Beaver]

I've had a couple friend's (associate's) find dealer's pack's of sramble pills & they are usually 25 to 50 a pack, I think the one friend found a 25'er!!! (lucky he was'nt spotted)
Also had one cat I know who found a baggie w/ 8to10 twenty bags of raw along w/ 4 twenty's of some ready in 'da baggie ( think it was someone's personal cuz it was found closer to 'da county)!
This same cat has found a script next to a jail (towson BCCI) it was a full script of some xanax bar's('da green one's) & their were some xanax blue footballs in 'da mix/ upwards of 50+ pills!
They were found in asewer grill w/ the lid from keeping fall through an it was right by were ya visit inmate so mine/his guess was a dude was stashing 'em their to visit an inmate!

I have been lucky to find 60$$ of my own I had stashed in a book an it came @ the best time , when I was broke!:)

[hydro chris]

nope i or anyone i know has found anything more then maybe a quarter oz of some hydro
but if i did come across something like OP had mention about, say like in the woods, id be all over that shit.
this reminds me though when i first moved into the house that i live in now.
the lady that used to own it, used to be a nurse and lost her license due to the fact that she was big
into cocaine and heroin. so when i moved in, i tore the house apart to only to find some bars.

[Morphus]

A good pal of mine works for an airline, maintaing the planes and shit, anyways, one day he was supposed to be the guy to do this job on the interior of the plane but for whatever reason another guy got the job. The other guy found a key of coke and yep, turned it in to the man. He totally would have gotten away with it too.

I've never found anything....boohoo. A good asian friend of mine, who was also often my dealer - used to make all the caps up at my house near the country - anyway i was trying to stash those bastards all over the place without him noticing.. I think i got a half g in my sock... and we had a plastic bag there as a bin and the asian dude reckons he found 5 0.5g packs stashed in the bin and he was really pissed off... but i actually hadn't stashed them in there... He was pretty dumb guy, i wished i'd done it better after he left...

Pretty much speechless.......No totally speechless.

Bars are Xanax. :)

The only thing is if you actually did manage to steal a brick (meaning a kilo) of anything from a dealer, that will likely end up in that dealer being killed by his "boss" for being careless and losing him a lot of money. So if you were to end up in this incredibly tempting situation, you should probably think about the consequences for everyone.

i think most junkies in this situation would more be thinking of ways to justify taking it - like all the times they'd been ripped off by dealers etc. rather than all the negative consequences that might come from it...

[Woody Bear]

There's a couple massive poppy fields near me, and this year, and the year before, I went over there. I couldn't justify taking a whole bin bag full of heads, but I could easily justify taking a few of the best looking plants from each field.

Unfortunately this year I went to late, and all but one field had been harvested, and it wasn't the one with the best plants in it. So I got enough to be able to test the potency, but I wouldn't consider using the seeds in my garden.

The year before, I got more plants, but I harvested too early, and none of the seeds were viable.

That's the closest I've come to finding a stash of drugs.

do you have base-boards? sick, and doing the 3000x once over, i once found most of a 100mg ms contin - i do believe it was the only time i ever found anything....and it wasn't any stash.....

how it got there? and where the tiny crumbled piece that wasn't *most* was? only god knows....

and what was i doing looking under the base boards......

good times~

[LovemRx]

I usually stash my shit in the most random places where noone EVER looks. It's always out in public but noone ever finds it because its hidden in random ass spots. Too random to mention online. ;)

[OverDriven]

Why do you guys stash your stuff in weird places/outdoors? Am I missing something? All of my drugs go in one drawer, and I know what's in there at all times better than I know whats in my bank account (and I am on top of my account). It's almost more valuable than money...there's no way I'm going to lose any. Do you hide your stuff because you're worried about cops or something?

[harmonik]

I saw where this preppy highschooler had placed his stash of 'ecstasy' pills in a house with a hidden key, and they were alright... not too much meth

The motherfucker ended up keeping an extra $50 from me that he was supposed to get change for, and what do you know? His $600 stash is nowhere to be found when he goes to look.

I didn't exactly "find" it so much as he found it for me ;)

[nodrover]

Before I got into dope, I was getting 200 mg MS Contins all the time. One day when I was all zonked out on benzos, I misplaced two of the MS contins. When I woke up they were no where to be found, but I KNOW they are in my house somewhere, because I didn't leave my house that entire day. This happended months ago, and to this day I have not found the pills.......:mad:

I know there's probably either some Ativan or Klonopin that I had from back in 2007 when I first moved back home somewhere in this house, but who knows where that is. I've given up looking for it.

So in addition to finding my vicodin that i mentioned earlier in this thread, which i really don't know why i hid them in that spot, but I've a few more stories relating to you three's posts.

So the first one in regards to finding a piece of a pill... I am a pill crusher up the nose ROA kind of a guy, and usually tend to always do this in the exact same spot, on the same pane of glass, on the same table... So after a long run when i'm out and have nothing, i'll usually try looking on the ground for bits and pieces, since my method of crushing tends to spit out chunks and send them flying. I didn't know how MUCH flying though until one day (and i don't know why) but i was searching on the complete opposite side of the room from where i usually do the pills, between my bed and the wall, and in the little gap between the carpet and baseboard i found like half of a 20mg OC. So what must have happened was that when i was attempting to crush it, that chunk went flying out from under the card and ended up nearly 10 feet away. I can't remember if i found this prize while i was really sick, or just happened to find it when i was already feeling good, so i just added it ontop of the feeling goodness. I don't know how i didn't notice that i was suddenly crushing up half of what i should have been (after the chunk slipped out) but maybe it's because i had only had 20s a few times, and usually used to the 80s powder ratio..so maybe the half of a 20 reminded me of a quarter of an 80's powder... anyway...

In regards to the other two of you's stories about benzo blackout pill hiding....

The first time i ever tried a benzo, was Xanax, and at about 1.25-1.5mg this was a pretty big dose for a first timer... well after about a half hour after insufflation, i went to upstairs to my bedroom, after first hiding the remaining .5mg pills in a box inside of a binder in another bedroom...so i wouldn't be tempted during the night i thought.

Well the next morning they were gone, and the binder all opened up, so obviously i went to blame someone else first, and then spent the next 5 hrs tearing the place apart thinking I somehow miss-placed them.

Well i eventually gave up on finding those... and about 6 months had passed before i looked in a side pocket on my suitcase and found the little box full of little blue xanax footballs.

[Papa Verine]

Saturday I went into the local CVS with my daughter to get some candy. I ALWAYS look around on the floor in pharmacies as I have found precription drugs there before. As I was walking out the door I found a blue football on the floor. (1mg Xanax) I immediately popped it in my mouth.

HUGE SCORE!!!

Made my day...

Ha!

No... GG 258, can't mistake them with anything else... The worst part of it was the 2 blue powder spots next to it on the carpeted floor mat. It was pretty obvious the one I found was the sole survivor out of 3 dropped pills.

[imprecation]

The movie Atlantic City (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080388/) is about this exact situation. I hope I never do find a stash of that quantity as I know for a fact it wouldn't last me a year and more likely than naught I would be dead by the end of the month either from overdose or that gang in the woods.

I can't believe i didn't take more of the vet drugs now... I did have a valium habit going there for awhile.. sort of creeps up on you.. and xanax - dogs need them too.
When i was at uni i was on night duty with this guy in my year who spent the night shooting up random stuff... i remember he did the made up injections of fentanyl that were there and reckoned they did nothing.....SWIM was already smashed on H if i recall correctly...

My fiance did an entire clean of our room and found 5 oc 80's and fourteen oc 40's plus "some dumb yellow octogons with 30's". It was my friend's opana script that he had left with all his clothes one time when he spent the night. Normally, I would get him his shit and maybe take a couple because that's my junkines speaking. Well this dude is dead. He's been dead for a year, and I liked him a lot but we didn't have that connection so it was sad but meh...

[skeezerjohns22]

Swim once stashed 5 done 10mgs. in a toy car he had built...
Needless to say a year went by and swim had totally forgot that the "goodies" were still in the car
(many days of being sick and still not remembering that they had been stashed there.)
Long story short, swims mom found them before him..she then proceeded to call him at work--
She fed them to the toliet!!! that was the first and last time swim stashed something
in a very good hiding spot..

[HistoryofMadness]

its so weird because this never happened to me until just yesterday, after this i'd bypassed this thread without reading it several times.

then i was at one of the local "open air markets" peddling a little piddle paddle for some spare change. i dropped something right beside a bush and almost got my face kicked in as i bent down to pick it up.

it took me a few minutes to convince bubba the bigger that i hadn't done that on purpose, that i didn't know his little brown bag FULL of shit was down there, and it was all a simple misunderstanding.

fortunately he was a thinking man (probably thinking "if i beat up this white guy right here in the middle of all these people, the cops are going to show up and i'm gonna end up losing money" but at least he was thinking...)

anyway he didn't pound me. he actually ended up tossing me a little piece of "hard" for acting like he did, which really didn't get me all that excited, but it was a nice gesture

Speaking of losing s%#t I've done that a few times, usually my d.o.c.'s are keptclose & accounted for, but I've dropped someblue football's when I was getting'em out to pop someinme mouth! (luckily I had more than 2 or I would have stayed in this parking lot forever to find 'em) 'Da lotwas one of those w/ gravel & coler's in the mix, so I gave up after 45 minute's:(

I've also been so messed up on methadone & 'da cocktail of xanax,phenergan, & clonodine's & was rolled for everything ing my pocket's ( I either passed out getting off bus or somone got me of 'da bus telling me it's my stop, cuz I was like 7-8 stops away from my normal bus stop!!
Anyway's whoever got it madeout pretty good I had like 27or so $$, a 130mgs. take home, a pocket full 'o' change, 1/4 pack of smoke's 6 blue football;s, & finally they took my shirt!!

Forgive me if i'm the only idiot who doesn't get it - but what was the 'piece of hard' he tossed you??

I found about 50 Subutex 8mg tabs that i had stashed when i was on the program but using constantly - so i was never taking them. Not much good to me now i'm on masses of mdone... i ended up giving them to a chick who is on the bupe program and shoots em i think.. She was pretty stoked.. cos they were whole tabs (they tend to crush the crap out of em here - when u get them daily from the clinic or pharmacy) witout spit etc..

I wish i'd found a better stash...

[Opiyum]

If I were still using today, today would have been an awesome day. I was at the pharmacy filling a psych med script and when I went to get 40 bucks out of the ATM I was astonished to see three twenties lying in the tray already.

hard is crack cocaine.. as opposed to soft, which is powder coke.

I've never found "goodies" but I found the wrappers... boy was I bummed! It's a pretty funny story- but I won't tell the whole tale, as it's a long one.

Suffice it to say, I was out back of our business- where the dumpsters are? Ours had a cement block wall around 3 sides, with the front being open for dumpster access. I look behind the dumpster, and there are 6 of the BIG yard trash bags, full of duct tape and clear plastic. The duct tape was in big long strips, with the clear plastic stuck to it. LAYER upon LAYER of tape... Hmm... didn't take a PHD in Chemistry to figure out what the hell THAT situation was. Just wish I'd been there the night before when they were dropping the trash off... I'd a been all over their asses! Gonna use MY dumpster? Gonna kick ME down--- simple as that.

Another time, I was helping a friend clean out an apartment. She was the manager, and had evicted a known dealer. His 30 days was up to claim his shit, and he had some good stuff in there... electronics and the like. She told me she'd split his stuff with me if I'd help her clean it out. So- I was in the master bedroom walk-in closet, and noticed something didn't look right in a corner of the carpet. Little investigating, and the carpet came up to reveal a hole in the sub-floor. In the hole was 3 black trash bag wrapped "bricks". HOLY SHIT! I thought I'd hit the motherlode!!! The bricks were a little bigger than a football.

After half an hour unwrapping this shit, it turns out it was little "rocks" about the size of a small egg. They were kinda clear/crystally... they actually looked kinda like moth balls, or epsom salts. To this day, we have NO idea what the hell they are... and we've shown them to everyone we can think of to ID this shit. It's not a drug of any kind, it's not mothballs OR epsom salts...

We know the guy was cutting/cooking dope in there... so we thought it might be something used for cut, but so far none of our dopefiend friends can ID the stuff. Of course, I've kept it, since someday I may find out the shit's actually worth something, but for now- your guess is as good as mine. We even had an "ex-cop" check it out, and he'd never seen/tasted anything like it before. I'd like to get it tested, but with my luck it WILL be something good, and I'll end up in jail. I just can't imagine that he'd keep some BS all wrapped up and hidden like that, ya' know? It's gotta be "something"... I just wish I knew what the hell that "something" might be!

I have a few, not all exactly as the OP described. To whoever said "pipe dreams" I say bullshit as I used to know a dealer who would bury 25g balls of black and cash in the mid-five figure range inside woodland park in Seattle.

That same dealer was really jealous of me, because another customer of his was my recently dead (suicide) friend's girlfriend, and I was with her a lot, but it was %100 platonic, it was my buddy's gf and I was strung out anyway. I fucking suffered for it though; he did hundreds of things to make me miserable as a customer but one of the most insidious, I think, was that he came over to my parents house one day to drop something off, and left a quarter piece. Although according to him a couple days later, he didn't just leave it in a random spot - I stole it.

So I called him the first night, and he didn't answer the phone for three days, so I shot the dope. But something was wrong with it, it was really weak, I had to do huge shots and I'd get a gnarly headache when I did. So I had a quarter piece of shitty headache dope and a dealer blaming me for stealing it, when the truth is I was helping him with his car when he left the dope on the table: I'm eating dinner with my dad, there's dope on the table. I don't recognize it, I ask him what it is: "I dunno;" then I realized what it was, grabbed it and ran upstairs. Big piece of dope, but not what it appeared, to this day I wonder what he put in that shit that was giving me headaches. He was infatuated with my friend, and convinced I was in his way.

He finally got popped (3rd time) with like an ounce each of black and white, and 50k cash, sleeping in his car on some fire road. He got ten years, he's probably living like a king in MX now.

I've found 50 10mg MD pills; found a $100 bill folded up tight in a parking lot that has a lot of activity; found about a gram in the worst shelter in SF, in a porta-john (they had an indoor porta-john city, hauled 1-2 people out of there a week, most dead - 400 people housed in that shelter when I was living there) - not the most sanitary place but I did the dope anyway; watched a dealer stash a bag in the bushes once when I was clean, I was so fucking tempted to grab it, and I was perfectly poised for it, behind a fence and he didn't know I saw him.. I didn't get it though, I'm sure there was quite a bit of likely black but maybe white or both... And I once, "found" a really large pile of, umm.. something, and me and a couple friends fucking split with it, and we were chased, like 1/3rd of the way across the country but got away, and I can't really talk about it although it has been a long time, but it was fit for a movie.. It was a *really* dumb thing to do, but it makes a great story =)

And I knew a guy who was working for this cat in NV on a tree farm or some shit, and the owner just happened to drop that there's cash buried on the property. Well my friend just happened to go buy a metal detector and found $10k. Then, they quit.

Ok I must be abit naive... or maybe they don't say it here... but what is black and white??? I'm assuming white is dope....
And ru talking about a quarter of a gm that he 'left' you?? if so what do you mean abt having to do huge shots of it? Surely u would hv to do the whole q in one shot...
And where did you find the g in the grotty toilet?? was it just siting on the floor or what? in a spoon? foil??? And come on, i wanna here the great movie story!!! Tell tell!!

KellyBlue - I really wanna know what that shit is. I'm with you - it must be worth somethin, otherwise why would he have it all hidden like that... You sure he was only into dope?? And its not one of those intermediates chemicals thats really hard to get hold of???

[duck]

black -- tar heroin
white -- white powder cocaine

Black, negra, chiva: tar heroin; white, blanca: cocaine.

Quarter piece, quarter of an ounce, which strangely is 6 grams in the western US for heroin, not sure about coke but it seems to be for heroin in CA and WA.

Floor, in plastic. Looked like someone had just dropped it, but it was a nasty toilet inside a nasty shelter.. Probably ~10-12 porta johns under a roof with dirt and wood as a walkway through the area, it was pretty foul.. Called 'Mission Rock" out in China Basin in SF for anyone who knows the area, I don't know if the shelter is still there..

I bet it's either something valuable or toxic.

Still got em? Post a pic..

[TrackStar0420]

Why do you guys stash your stuff in weird places/outdoors? Am I missing something? All of my drugs go in one drawer, and I know what's in there at all times better than I know whats in my bank account (and I am on top of my account). It's almost more valuable than money...there's no way I'm going to lose any. Do you hide your stuff because you're worried about cops or something?

This reminds me of the saying drugs get you through times of no money, better than money gets you through times of no drugs.

[Ickyuck]

Last night, in NYC, I was with a friend around Penn Station. Well there are these tall marble planter things with shrubs planted in them, they are waist high. People put all sorts of crap in them. Well low and behold, last night I happen to look down into one... and see a prescription bottle. So I scooped it up, and checked it out... found:

6 5mg Percodans
1/2 2mg Klonopin
2 1/2 amitryptaline
1 20mg adderal IR

Not bad, kinda interesting though, as I've never found anyone's "stash" before..

[kellyblue]

Opiate Queen- I don't know what he was in to, I didn't know the guy. Manager said he was selling dope, mainly Crack and H...

Chops- yeah, I've still got it, but it's buried in a 10x20 storage unit. I have NO idea WHERE in the storage unit it would be. I wish I could describe it better, but it just looks like little eggs... maybe the size of 2 large Malted Milk Balls..., and it's kind of a muddy/clear compressed crystalized shit. That's why we though Epsom salt at first, that's what it looks like... "pressed and formed" epsom salt. But- it's got almost no taste, and it doesn't "burn" right on the foil for it to be dope.

But- as i said, it's got to be "something" for it to be all wrapped and hidden like that. Short of having it tested, I'm out of ideas. And- I'm afraid to test it... in case it's something that's really a No No... for fear of ending up in jail.

If I can find it, I'll post a pic of the "eggs"... maybe some of the old timers here might know what the hell it is. I'll be bummed if I find out I've been sitting on a gold mine for years now!

Not a bad find, I allways wonder why cats put stuff up (like was it a deal were cop's were rolling up & they stashed 'em real fast)
I mean I know some cats put stuff up in a stash spot before they go boosting or go copping etc., etc., so maybe it could be a thing like that! Who Knows??????

When I was living in NY and getting clean I was at a bodega down the street from my place in Williamsburg that I had heard was selling more than candy. I was waiting for the guy to make my sandwich when the bodega cat walked up and rubbed against my leg. I bent over to pet it and saw a little tiny ziplock with white powder in it on the floor. I was really trying to get clean but it went into my pocket more from instinct than anything else.

When I got outside I tasted it and it was coke. I had a month or so clean and didn't want to end up on a run so I decided t get rid of it. Had I thrown it in the trash I would have laid in bed thinking about it so I actually tried to give it to more than one group of hipsters that I ran into on my way back home. Everyone I tried to give it to looked at me like I had three heads.

I eventually found an off duty cop who was just getting home from work and asked him to get rid of it for me. It took a little bit of doing though. He didn't understand why I couldn't just throw it away. 2 weeks later I was in a bar visiting a friend that I knew from Fla who was working there and bent over to pick up my lighter and found another bag of coke. She had no problem getting rid of that one for me. I also found a bag of coke in a dryer while doing my laundry at the laundromat.

I had a big bottle of dilaudid at one time a few years ago and while cleaning out my car to sell it(the car of course as I would never dream of being involved in the buying or selling of diverted pharmeceuticals) I stumbled across a 4mg in the front seat. That little pill sent me off on a run that lasted a few months. Technically I don't believe that I've ever found someone's "stash. Wait a minute, I found the box my mom had hidden with all the pain meds that they had been giving to my stepfather as he was dying from cancer. My mom's a nurse who herself had a run in with IV opiates years ago which explains to me why she had a hard time getting rid of it (not to mention the street value of what her insurance paid for).

[goagirl23]

Some friends of mine were in New York a few years ago. In their hotel room they saw a bunch of little bags on top of the shelf in the closet...It ended up being Heroin! I cant remember exactly how much it was but a good sized amount. They pocketed it and checked into another hotel across town and then had their friend who lived there sell it for them. It ended up being enough cash to fund a good portion of their trip. When I heard that story my jaw dropped. Why cant that shit happen to me!

[Reveller]

opiobsessed -- hahaha good shit! I enjoyed that story. Did you think all that up just while writing that post, or is that in some SMALL, small way based on an IRL experience? I bet it was adapted from SWIM's memoirs, that lucky SOB.

Anyway, to the topic at hand! I cannot, sadly, relay an experience as exciting as that with respect to finding H or pharms, nor even one as minor as Papa's story with the one football he found at CVS. (I say minor story but trust me PV, I would have been happy as shit and done the same thing myself. Love the footballs! :p)

The closest incident that comes to mind occured about two years ago: I was at one of many summer music festivals I had attended that year, and while walking through a field (the whole place of course was a huge grassy field) I happened to look down and discovered a bag of weed! Naturally, I was excited but didn't want to grab it right away. I looked around cause there was a small group of vendor tents not too far away. I'm by no means a thief but I considered it fair game as it was a fairly small amount and I knew there was no way in SHIT that the original owner or anyone else would find it. It was almost impossible to see, being so small and blending in with the color of the grassy field. So rather than let it go to waste, I scooped it up and pocketed it.

Later, I gave it to one of my friends who was at the festival with me. I had been on the tea, drinkin JD & homemade meade, tried some salvia, and of course E (it was a 3 day psytrance festival -- a "big hippie gangbang", as one friend referred it to it) throughout the weekend so I figured I'd share the weed. Also, for reasons I still don't understand, THC doesn't do it for me... which gets me laughed at, but I don't care. It's not that I dislike the effects, as I've had a few great experiences with it. Weed just doesn't usually excite me, and I knew that friend would appreciate it. NOW, if I had found a baggie of some Roxi 30s in that field...... that story would have ended differently.

[Nu Jerzey Devil]

This thread reminded me of a great show (IMO) that I have been watching recently. In this show this sort of thing happens numerous times although the people are stealing the stash rather than finding it. I am talking about the HBO show THE WIRE!!!!! I absolutely love that show, I am hooked on it. Anyway I just finished watching the first season, and for those who don't know it is a show about the Dope game in Baltimore (specifically West baltimore) and focuses on the two sides of it: The drug dealers who run shit in the projects, and of course the other side being Law Enforcement. I think one of the reasons it is great is because it is pretty damn realistic ( atleast the dope part) and it is really interesting to see how shit runs, from the inside out.

Anyway, in the first season there is this dude named Omar who basically robs the stash from the dealers and then sells it for cheap (sometimes even gives it away if some one is really hurting) on the streets in his hood. Sort of like a Robin Hood type character.

Also the Junkies in the show always come up with schemes to get money or rip off the dealers. So the main junky in the show is named "Bubbles" and at one point theres these dudes sling some shit and Bubbles is on the roof above them. The dealer hides a small stash inside of a loose tire, and Bubbles takes a big as fishing hook, lowers it down (the dealers back is facing the stash which is against the building wall), and succesfully gets a really nice stash.

Now I know this is just Television, but the show is pretty realistic in a lot of aspects and has me hooked.

Who else has seen this and what do you all think of it? I'm not trying to hijack the thread and I guess I can start a new one just for this topic if you all think it's a good idea, but if you haven't seen it I highly recommend you watch it, at least the first episode which you can find for free online. Let me know what you all think.

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease!!!

A ball of raw opium approx 2/3 the size of a golf ball. This was not found by me but rather my best friend at the time in a small vase in an antique store in chinatown. But he always shared, as was the case this time. First and only time I had ever seen the stuff, but the quality was top notch.

Hahaha I know I left out a part, although I think they come up with the copper scheme right after so it's all good right? Yea I just finished the first season and I thought of this thread numerous times.... it's a crazy game that is played.

[Chipper]

Love it. At the end of the last series, there would be at least 1000 characters that you have seen.

Currently screening in Australia. With it's long arcs, I would say it's the best TV show yet.

It just gets better and better.

Wow...I would be seriously sketched out about that though. I'm sure their personal info was recorded when they took the room. With a little effort, I'm sure the person who left it could find out who took it. That would make me pretty nervous. I wonder though...who could possibly forget that much heroin?

a lil OT but imagine if you were on holiday or sumthin, abroad
in somewhere like pakistan or thailand or vietnam or cambodia and you happened to stumble across a brick/key
ive often wondered what the hell i'd do in such a position

there's no-way i'd try and smuggle a kilo out cause facing 20 yrs in a cockroach infested hell-hole of a thai prison would make suicide a very-real consideration
and selling a bit of it to subsidise an extended opi-vacation to holiday-makers is a very dodgy prospect as thai police can be very persuasive if they happened to arrest somebody that you had sold some to

me-personally, i think that i would go on a bit of a bender for a month then spend a few days training my stomach to accept like just a few fingers, maybe 2 or 3 oz's
then i would head out into the hills and bury the 3/4 of the key

id then fly back home on a mission to find a good couple of mules or work for a few months to save up enough coin to pay for like a years extented holiday where id do my damndest to inject the rest of the kilo

but just the thought of being stuck in such a nightmare of a position while at the same time being a smackheads equivelent of winning the lottery would lead me to endless sleepless nights but it would still be SOOOO nice to be in that position to have to make that choice

Quick story about the first time I ever did H.

Me and my brother fucked with OC's fairly frequently, only snorting them though. One night he comes home with some trashy whore. I woke up the next day and went into the bathroom to take a shower, when what do I see? Two stamp bags sitting on my sink. I put them in my pocket, skipped the shower, got in my car and got the fuck out of there.

My bro never mentioned it and I've never seen the girl again. If I did though, I'd probably punch her in the throat. Even though I didn't start shooting till much later, those two bags were the beginning of a long downward spiral I'm still in the midst of.

[More Feen]

I agree with others like Johny M-Hawk,

When there's enough money being made, even pot growers get viscious & nasty. I hear they like to plant in obscure areas on Gov. Land--like national parks, etc.... They also like to fabricate shotgun shell boobytraps, among other things.

Consider the unfortunate hiker/biker who innocently encounters the armed people, or one of their improvised devises.

An altered version of your Original Post (which I think about from time to time) would be of a medical supply truck, or pharmacy truck that overturns on the highway. Now, no one is seriously hurt, and you are one of the first responders.

Unlike witnessing the armed men in the woods, which might lead a person to take serious risks, the over-turned truck has scattered MILLIONS of scheuled ampules, pills & bottles. While you wait for EMS to show-up, you can help yourself to everything strewn over the road and load your trunk.

Once you ensured everyone's okay, you could scoot before EMS/LE arrived.

But hey, this has all the elements of a fantasy--like a 5 minute "shopping spree" at a large pharmacy:


"Are you Ready for your shopping spree?"
"Open the safes...,"
" GO !!"

A man can dream, a man can dream.

ooohh,i've a cracking story about finding a stash place. So a guy i know who lives in london,him and his mrs. have a cottage in shall i just say a remote part of south western england,they used to live in this cottage but when they moved to london they rented it out to an'acquintance'who also dealt in ounce weights of brown,no problems for 3 years,the rent would get paid on time etc. then one day it stopped,and they heard nothing about where he'd gone,and being that they were in the grip of severe addiction themselves they just continued paying minimal mortgage payments to hold off the bank etc. but didnt even bother going to see the state of the place for 2 years,then i moved away from london to the south west and offered to go and have a look,more just to be nosey than anything else,so they posted me a key,i hired a car and went,i was expecting it to be run down,neglected,smashed up but it was ok outside,bit grubby inside,so i have a wander around,looking in cupboards etc,and i get to one of the rooms and notice the matress askew on one of the beds and the corner of a hole,so i move the matress,a big square had been cut out of the base,and inside it? 2 big bin liners full of masking tape wrapped blocks of smack,alongside a chunk of £20 notes,the place was now being used as a stash house,and the dealer guy would periodically return to reload,and obviously relying on the fact the owners werent about to turn up anytime soon,so i'm trembling with fear and excitement,planning the best course of how to basically steal it all,hide it,return later,except.....what i didnt know is that the filth had got onto this guy,put him under surveillance,and come up trumps on this house,and were all ready and waiting to catch him red handed,but now who's this dumbfuck thats turned up with a key? has he been sent to do dealer guys dirty work or what? i know i was then spooked by the sound of a car driving fast in the distance and my good sense told me to get the fuck out right now,which i did,without any drugs or cash(i know,i know!!),but what i do know is when they got the guy and his footsoldiers,and his shoplifting staff,who else got their door kicked in at 5am by cops with dogs and riot gear and shit? thats right dumbfuck here,but it could have been much,much worse,and i luckily was able to prove i was nothing more than an unfortunate dumbfuck,but at one point they had me down as some kind of financier cause of the overtime payments going into my account at the time!!! scared the shit out of me,so there you go,if you do come across a stash place,think pretty fuc*ing carefull yabout the possible ramifications not only to you but others,shit has a way of going of on tangents you would never have though about,thankyou,and good-day.:rolleyes:

[God_Albino]

thread is like someone who has a perpetual boner about winning the lottery, but on a much more base, primitive level.

first post was the saddest shit i read in awhile; all the imagination and ridiculous longing of a very young child hoping to find santa's sleigh unattended, but totally bankrupt of life and joy, just pitted out by junkie longing... fuck. not a dig at the author, just a huge bummer this is what a lot of our dreams have deteriorated to. just finding enough shit to feed a hunger that's never gonna leave, or at least keep well for x more days than usual.

wah wah i'm sure everyone else has come to grips with their lifestyle paths, whatever. i'm sure if i could magically get clean and pain free, married to my sweetie and have a nice house, i'd dream of nothing more than shooting up in a filthy apartment again

[Vico-Dan]

Back when I first started using and had a lower tolerance and didn't really know much about addiction and withdrawals, I was feeling pretty lousy after a 3 day weekend of pills and booze.

I lived in an Apt. complex and went to throw out the trash in the dumpster for our building when I caught a glimpse of a plastic bag and I could barely make out the contents - a bunch of plastic prescription bottles like you get at the pharmacy when you get a script filled.

I reach in, pull out the bag and there were like 5 plastic pharmacy bottles with a bunch of Vicodin ES, Percocets, Klonipins, Vals and some Ativan.

The name on the bottles was that of some elderly gentleman who had lived in my building until recently, but his family moved him to a retirement home and I assumed they threw out his pills because they were a bit past the expiration dates.

I didn't know what the Klonipins were, and there was no internet back then (1987 or so) but I did look it up in "Elvis's Bible" aka the Physician's Desk Reference at the Barnes and Noble bookstore near my apt complex.

Back then, my tolerance was fairly low so the Opiates lasted me for a few weeks and then I found some girl I kinda knew who would trade Percodan for the Klonipin and Ativan and I had a bunch of those so that one find lasted me nearly a month.

Like I said, I had a much lower tolerance back then and didn't use daily.

Nowadays, that same find would have lasted me 4 days instead of 4 weeks, if that.

Related story: Before hospitals would properly dispose of their expired drugs, I knew a guy who would dumpster dive at a Kaiser facility and find all kinds of goodies, or so he claimed.

Again, this was in the mid 1980's when the rules were different.

Edit: One more story.

A few years ago, I was buying Tramadol online to stay well on days I didn't have real opiates, before I found out about Pods. (I can't stand those things now and they almost gave me a seizure.)

I didn't have a car at the time and my job was about 1.5 miles from where I live and I would walk to work.

I had a bottle of about 100 Tramadol in my jacket pocket and I somehow lost it on the walk to work.
I didn't know it at the time so when I got home, I looked all over for the bottle thinking I left home without but I couldn't find them anywhere.

Sure enough, next morning walking to work, I see the pill bottle laying on the street up against the curb with all the contents intact.

I was staying in a hotel room with a friend of mine for a week-end long cocaine binge. We bought 5 8-balls and just kept railing big lines all night long. Saturday morning we go out to get something to eat, leaving behind a few things including the 3 balls we had left. We got in a fight with someone in the drive-thru at McDonalds and we both got arrested. By the time we were let out the time on our hotel room had long since run out.

The room was in my name. I thought I'd be getting a visit from the police about the 3 8-balls but it never happened. Some cleaning lady probably found the shit and wondered "Who the fuck would leave all this good cocaine behind?"

We had to chalk it up as lost dope. What were we going to do at that point? I was happy just not getting busted for it.
