DIARY OF A SLOWLY RECOVERING HEROIN ADDICT

I used to take heroin at every opportunity, for over 10 years, now I just take methadone which supposedly "stabilizes" me though I feel more destabilized than ever before despite having been relatively well behaved since late November/early December 2010... and VERY ANGRY about this when I let it get to me so I try not to.

I was told by a mental health nurse that my heroin addiction was "self medication" for a mood disorder that has recently become severe enough to cause psychotic episodes. As well as methadone I take antipsychotics daily. Despite my problems I consider myself a very sane person. My priority is to attain stability. I go to Narcotics Anonymous because I "want what they have" ~ Serenity.

My old blog used to say "candid confessions of a heroin and crack cocaine addict" how come that one comes up when I google "heroin blog" and not this one. THIS IS MY BLOG. I don't flatter myself that every reader knows everything about me and follows closely every single word every day which is why I repeat myself. Most of that is for your benefit not mine.

This is my own private diary, my journal. It is aimed at impressing no-one. It is kept for my own benefit to show where I have been and hopefully to put off somebody somewhere from ever getting into the awful mess I did and still cannot crawl out of. Despite no drugs. I still drink, I'm currently working on reducing my alcohol intake to zero.

If you have something to say you are welcome to comment. Frankness I can handle. Timewasters should try their own suggestions on themselves before wasting time thinking of ME.

PS After years of waxing and waning "mental" symptoms that made me think I had depression and possibly mild bipolar I now have found out I'm schizoaffective. My mood has been constantly "cycling" since December 2010. Mostly towards mania (an excited non-druggy "high"). For me, schizoaffective means bipolar with (sometimes severe)
mania and flashes of depression (occasionally severe) with bits of schizophrenia chucked on top. You could see it as bipolar manic-depression with sparkly knobs on ... I'm on antipsychotic pills but currently no mood stabilizer. I quite enjoy being a bit manic it gives the feelings of confidence and excitement people say they use cocaine for. But this is natural and it's free, so I don't see my "illness" as a downer. It does, however, make life exceedingly hard to engage with...

PPS The "elevated mood" is long gone. Now I'm depressed. Forget any ideas of "happiness" I have given up heroin and want OFF methadone as quick as humanly possible. I'm fed up of being a drug addict. Sick to death of it. I wanna be CLEAN!!!

Heroin drought UK 2010/2011 life goes on (reluctantly)

THERE IS A TERRIBLE SHORTAGE of heroin of even half decent quality here in London. When London can't get it, the drought is usually nationwide.

The first signs started maybe two months ago. The last two weeks have been worse and worse. Total drought. I knew one person with what I considered crap. Then I found out it was the best around.

Then I got stung four days in a row. "Heroin" that just swirled browny-black dye in the spoon, runs along foil, though I don't smoke it I'm willing to test a tiny bit. But not with the highly distinctive, slightly opiumy smell of brown heroin base.

In previous droughts, by using extreme discrimination and basically by asking around, I usually managed to get the best stuff that was going about. When I looked for it. And there was still good stuff going about, albeit in tiny quantities, amongst all the rubbish.

The normal gear we get looks light browny-beige. A lot of the best stuff used to look indistinguishable from cat-litter (grey) but that was a few years ago. I have seen heroin in every colour from stark white to near midnight black.

A few days ago I was almost happy with the situation. Oh good now's my chance.

I was getting fed up of sticking needles in the back of my knees, between my toes, down the sides of my hands, up the back of my thigh where I can't even see.

But now I wake up wailing to myself. I am living on methadone! How can this be! No heroin. All day! Even if I "get" it, I will just be injecting brown water with the faintest opiate teaser. O how can this go on. Why don't normal people just hang themselves and be over with? How can life possibly have any meaning without the Killer B-sting? Akh!

Now I've got to run. Desperate person at door.

ANYONE anywhere, tell me what's happening. Give us idea where you are (not too specific please as all comments have to be moderated). How is it, and if it's bad, how bad - and why you believe that is. I'm also interested in hearing from anyone abroad who can vouch how far this has spread. I think the cause has to do with poppy blight and a ruined harvest in Afghanistan pushing up the kilo-price here... and no doubt across the water too...

DROUGHT NEWS FEB 4 2011
far as I know gear is still rank by early last year standards, but far more reliable than a couple of months ago. i really can't be bothered with it, which is why i have to go on what i heard. a certain guy i know with a 30 yr plus habit who's on methadone buys the odd bit now and then and says today's stuff with one exception that came from Essex is SHIT compared to what it used to be, the Essex stuff sounds like a fluke...

to all you out there you have my sympathy, i know the life i lived it long enough i'm still a junkie just a juice-drinking one. and my veins had pretty much gone and i'm not into smoking it. (and for the record going on the needle is my biggest regret, after going on gear...)

After I heard that lottery story I've been buying Euromillions tickets like there's no tomorrow. Previously I only bothered when the jackpot went over £50 million. He only won the normal lottery but I could really do with a hundred million. That way I could afford private drug treatment.

EVERYONE: Sorry I haven't been in touch that frequently down this end. As y'all probably know I went crazy not long ago and was too overwhelmed to deal with lots of comments. I was up for writing, but not reading, just like a lot of us much prefer talking to listening! I gave up heroin, tried and tried not to drink too much. Drank far too much. I realized when I totted up the units I was actually exceeeding a full bottle of Scotch a day (except I was drinking white cyder ~ far cheaper). I give details of how much I drink as I'm supposed to be keeping a drink diary, so if my blog seems boringly self-obsessed please bear in mind it IS my "secret diary" you're reading. Not everything I put is meant for you, some of it is for me, so I can look back and see where I've been. Ie in a place I never ever want to go back to.

DOOPS, LADY ANON, JODIE & CO, LEAVE ME A COMMENT PLEASE. DOOPS I COULDN'T TALK PROPERLY ON GABBLY THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS COOKING AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU KNOW. TYPICAL ME, I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME DOING NOTHING, THEN WANT TO DO 5 TINGS AT ONCE HA-HA!

PS have a look at my video links. I fished out the best ones I've got. I'd really like to see Bangcock Hilton again but it's 4 hours and my broadband will get terminated if I watch that much telly online!

Hi gledwood I asked u loads of questions but u never answered any of them. Feel like I got blanked lol
(anon 11 th jan 02 52)

Gledwood said...

I'm really sorry about that I just got confused by comments mentioning South America. I've never deliberately blanked anyone.

For the record if anyone does ask a question or raises a point that I just missed and you still want an answer either repost the question or direct me to the original but please give the date asked or I'll get totally lost looking for it.

Now heroin from South America. I looked into the production figures of Columbian and Mexican gear and the amount supposedly consumed in America, which seems really low unless someone's telling porkie pies. I know Americans use a lot of dilaudid and oxy but that still doesn't explain how a nation with more than 4 times our populaation can use LESS gear!

As far as I know the amount of gear produced in Colombia has dropped over reent years and is only a few tonnes

http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/colombia/cocafigs.htm 8 tonnes in 1999

http://bogota.usembassy.gov/testimony3.html 4.3 tonnes in 2001

this is nowhere near enough to satisfy the demand in the UK which was 30-35 tonnes annually!

Burma produced about 35 tonnes in 2009, so Britain would need the entire production of that country to keep ourselves at predrought levels. I'm assuming this tonnage is at import strength. 30 tonnes was my own estimate of 300,000 British addicts using an average 0.5g a day as imported or about 0.8g as bought on the street.

Yes it would be lovely to have proper H4 but its advantage is that it's instantly water-soluble (and snorts painlessly unlike H3) and is not very acidic so it doesn't burn veins. If you watch the "how much Citric?" video she gives the figure of properly cooked B at about ph2.55 which is pretty acid. Then she adds the entire sachet which you don't need to do and it gets ridiculously strong. One reason I insisted on cooking my own was I never trusted my friends not to overdo it on the vit C. I preferred to leave a mush, which meant a lovely huge filter plus certain knowledge I'd not overdone it on the cit.

From what I've heard, neat China White smokes terribly. Sometimes people add caffeine, but they're smoking something not designed for smoking so it has a higher melting temperature meaning more drug is destroyed before it vapourizes.

I'm sure they're aware of the drought here and I'm sure SOME H4 comes in from Colombia, but probably not much. Wouldn't it be cool if the British dealers overcut the Americans on price and got the entire lot for us, plunging New York into drought, ha ha!

I've heard quinnine was a cut used in Burmese China White either bc of its bitter taste (which sounds like complete bullshit) or because junkies had malaria (utter shite) maybe it does something. I've had brown gear that tasted metallic and made my ears ring a bit. A friend of mine who had used in Malta said he didn't like china white because a lot of it was like that: metallic and ringing ears. Quinnine makes the ears ring.

2/3

Active cuts used in gear include methaqualone (Mandrax/Quaaludes) which I heard you can smoke, it melts well. Barbiturates especially phenobarbitone. And benzos, I'm not sure which benzo but I tested my own piss on very goofy gear and came back benzo positive. This stuff cooked up black in a strong hit. Not sure how it would look on foil. It stank of B and had loads of that in it too and the dealer was doing huge £20 bags so I spent several weeks off my tree.

Of inert cuts the most stupid is violin resin as used to make the bow vibrate the strings. I played violin when I was little and this resin is golden brown exactly the colour of good B. Powdrered it would probably be a beigy-blond colour. I dont know how it would smoke but in the works it sticks the plunger against the side meaning you have to push too hard which is NOT what you want when injecting in your foot.

Paracetamol is v popular. Try it and see, it should run on foil. It also cooks up with citric. I was bored one afternoon and experimented with the cooking. If there's a lot and you bang it you can briefly see crystals in the water before they dissolve.

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine, makes you drowsy it leaves a distinctive gel-looking stuff in the spoon. Don't know how it smokes. I also tried this one, just to see what it looked like and instantly recognized it from a gear batch we'd had a few months before.

Erm... I don't know this for absolute sure but I'm pretty sure sugar is used. This makes a liquid hit annoyingly gloopy and harder to inject into little veins. It would probably burn on the foil leaving black lines.

Caffeine is sometimes added at source to Burmese H3 (they do make it out there supposedly for the local Asian market and some probably gets here, H3 is a natural step on the way to H4 so all China White is B at some stage). Caffeine is supposed to make gear run really well and give a better buzz because you get more gear off the foil than without caffeine.

That is all I know about cuts I'm afraid.

3/3

I have a link about gear in India that says Indian gear is only 40% at production and has a very dark look. It might possibly have other psychoactive opiates in it as I've noticed dark gear tends to be goofier whereas white gear tends give a better IV rush. Mixing the 2 together (in America meaning mexican and colombian) is called an Oreo which I did myself a few years back, not realizing anyone else ever did it. The white gear left me disappintingly clear headed but felt fantastic on IVing; the dark stuff crept up but was very gauchy.

People have given different purities. One guy on bluelight reckons Afghan is 60% at manufacture. Before the drought the average Uk purity was said to be just over 40% with the standard varying between 20 and 60 which makes sense as I'd say the best tended to be about x3 stronger than the worst.

I really don't know whether or not neat gear of relatively low grade makes the streets but there is an old link that claims this is frequently the case. Ie that much British gear (at the time) was totally uncut. The remainder being poppyshit rather than bash.

From what I know, good H3 tends to be up to 75% pure at manufacture. Exceptionally it's 80%. There's another link on my sidebar where Afghans make H4. They can't have been that expert as it was only about 70something percent pure. The Burmese can get it in the 90s. I've never heard of any street gear going past 97% and that would be H4. Having said that, in the process the Afghans used (which is supposed to be different from Burma) the brown base heroin was washed white removing impurities and creating white heroin base which they falsely claimed is "never seen". I've seen it loads of times! Chalky white, runs on foil, usually nice and strong. Cooks up very pale. Needs citric but not as much as Brown.

The India drugs link is here. Interestingly street purity was LOWER than the UK and they used shit like curry powder (according to the authors) it's really long so you have a lot to read through to find whatever you want

Sorry the Afghanistan link probably needs additional clicking to download the file which was quite big with oolour photos. If thats' not the right file, it might be elsewhere in International Drugs info on my sidebar but I can't find it.

I will read that Mexico Drug Lord article you mentioned. I find it slightly odd that there seems to be loads of detailed info on Burma but barely a single photo let alone in depth article on poppy growing in Colombia or for that matter Mexico. I heard a rumour they've started producing H4 in Mexico which had something like treble the opium yield of Colombia in the last few years so maybe something will come from there. Also I heard Tar has turned up in Austria and Southern Germany but that link was in German. I used to think the hash-looking gear we sometimes got, you know with speckles in it might have been tar, but tar really is dark and sticky, it sticks to the finger in this film:

Here's the citric acid vid:

http://gledwoodvideo.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-much-citric.html

Hope this answers everything. I'm no expert I'm just like you I researched from the same sources you would find online. I've always had a pretty good memory for facts and figures re important things like heroin and dealers' numbers. And a shit one for most other things!

Gledwood said...

I didn't mean to write a book here but one thing I forgot about the link to Afghan gear manufacture. The white heroin base was actually stronger than the white heroin hydrochloride H4 end product, which might explain why some of that white rock gear going round a few years ago, which was definitely base heroin not H4, was so very high quality.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for answering me questions Gledwood, and so comprehensively. Now I have a sudden overwhelming desire to do heroin base!! sounds gooood. But dont worry u werent hyping it and I am already a lost cause - I like that u dont advocate the use of gear and are brutally honest bout ur relationship wiv it. btw, sorry to ask if youve stopped using again, but on the BL forum a lot of people are saying theyre geeting really good gear in the london area - what are your experiences over last week or so? do u think theyre kidding 'emselves? cheers bud take it easy

Anonymous said...

I just saw a post on the alt.drugs.hard usenet group, dated 13/01/2011 titled "Bad Heroin"....

......from someone in Spain saying the gear round his way is all bunk & bash, but supposedly someone in Northern Spain has good gear.

Sounds like its a Europe wide, if not worldwide problem. Just need to hear what the quality is like in the US for final comfirmation.

Anonymous said...

Can't find the link unfortunately, but read a UN report on heroin manufacturing in Afghanistan.

It claimed that H3 purity was around 55-65% heroin, and H4 was around 75%, rarely if ever any higher.
I've often read that the average quality of UK heroin at street level is around 40%, but to be honest, I find that hard to believe.

A couple of years ago a friend got caught selling gear, which everyone at the time thought was great quality stuff. However, after police analysis it turned out to be only just over 20% heroin.
The past decade dealers have got younger and younger and more and more greedy - basically there's none of the 'old skool' ethics goin round anymore. Hence people cutting it without having a clue how to do it right (solidifying gear, frazzling gear etc).

Also, this drought isn't worldwide, it's confined to the countries that are supplied by afghan heroin/golden crescent heroin, i.e. europe, russia and the middle east.

The US is supplied by SA and Mexico, and the golden triangle supplies Australia and it's domestic markets.


There is good gear in london at the moment, about £20 for .3-.35. Doesn't give an intense rush,but does give a heavy nod. Rush is more noticeable if you lessen your methadone dose of course. Intense nodding tho - am stocking up for sure!

all shit in n lndn, keep on buying though, aint it weird that sum people gouge off this shit gear? sum 1 give me sum morphine amps

Beggar Su the Crippled Avenger said...

i've been having some pretty crap gear recently. i dont even know what i would rate it bcos pre draught it wouldnt even sell, i dont think. The gear iv had before that was about 6/7 outta 10 and in my opinion was better but by how much i cant really tell. that says a lot in its self.

the gear im talking about is very light grey fine powder and to me tastes like paracetamol.

the last two days i forgot to take my meth before i went to score but after i had this crappy gear i didnt feel the need to take the meth so i just went to sleep without it. this was 2 days in a row - missing my 30mls days which normally would be impossible w/out some decent gear.

its the third day now, ive not had any gear and im clucking my nuts off but im trying not take meth to see if the fourth day will get easier.

so if that gear was shit or even 6/10 i think i would've still needed to take the juice but i didnt so i wonder what else could it have contained to reduce my meth withdrawals.

ps i only took .2 a day for those 2 days. I also had the same gear last week but ive not been using everyday.

In West yorkshire again gud gear about that I have not seen in years.A chocolate powder/ coco colour brown afghan,no 3 with black specs in it.I took some speckles aside and melted them on the foil and it smelt of strong Opium/heroin, so that must be a filtration problem during manufacture. I am on 45 mils of meths and if its doing it for me its definately pukka.There is food U just have to look for it.

Hi

So sick of it & think I hav finally beaten it. Fed up throwing good money away on shite!!! This drought might just be the best thing that has happened. So much to say....I will b back. Save your self some cash & stop dont waste it anymore on this shit!!

hi gled

from what i've understood, your battle with mental illness is much more difficult and is very distressing.

i also feel that way but my symptoms are not as severe.
I have symptoms of social anxiety,
OCD and ive been diagnosed to
have delusional diorder although i think my paranoid thoughts (not voices) may be due to OCD. Ive not received any psychiatric treatment but my parents are pushing me to see a shrink to try to "CURE"
my addiction (which is minimal in my opinion) but i have always felt i need to address my mental health problems first.

A part of me believes that as long as a person is suffering from a
mental disorder however mild or moderate the symptoms may be, it would be virtually impossible for them to stop using.

knowing this doesnt stop me from trying because all i can do is keep trying even though i dont know
if i would succeed. The discomfort caused by these symptoms naturally
pushes me to seek help and but regardless of how much achieve i feel im going round in a circle.

Anyway, my question is whether u have considered alternative forms
of therapy that encourage healing
the self or healing from the inside.

i think this diary is a good idea for you but you write so much sometimes its difficult to find my way around the site. I couldnt find ur email although i must admit
i havent looked that hard but anyway thats the reason i posted here.

also, im really curious if there's
such a thing as destroying the ego in any form of therapy. I know they
do it in the military. In Buddhism
the cause of suffering is due to
desire so i wonder if u have any thoughts on that and whether we can help ourselves. I have a feeling that the more we try to define something, the more we try to solve a problem by refinement,
naturally we complicate it but
i have a feeling that looking
for the one answer that would solve
our problems may be futile and dangerous. I think it would too much pressure and expectation our selves. Im going off topic so i'll stop here. I dont have any medical
knowledge whatsoever of menatal diorders but i do think a lot and im just trying to understand myself
and others to realise some truth and offer my support.

Im sorry one more thing, did using heroin actually help you deal/manage/cope more than with the meds prescribed by the doc.

Martin said...

Hey Brother, glad I found you this makes interesting reading.
Two things I wanna say: in answer to your question on US heroin consumption being less then our own... i lived in Seattle in 2007 and was using black tar and I had a habit around 2 grams a day. Anyway, when I got back to the UK I visited a friend who is a smoker and I smoked some of her 20bag - only a few lines. Anyway the point is, I fucking felt brand new - the purity of the gear we have over here is off the scale higher than the black tar over there, what I had in the states was real because I was once in detox there and was tested from time to time. So anyway, I'm thinking the difference in consumption might have something to do with purity, but then there is also the political aspect to consider.
About the situation worldwide... I got a mate who used to operate as part of a distribution hub between peshawar and northern europe in a group of islands not in the indian ocean. I got an email from him recently to tell me that even over there, the heroin is incredibly low in purity and some is synthetic. Mixtures of ketamine and benzo's are quite common. People are admitted for treatment, testing clean, and having to do medically supervised detoxes from the coctail because they have dangerous levels of benzo in their system. Shocking situation really, because over there the stuff was so pure smokers had to spot it because it would run straight off the foil or burn your finger if you tried to chase lines!

Lots of bash about. Having said that, I scored some fantastic bits the other night in E5.

Then I bought an 1/8 which didn't smoke at all, but when I pinned it it was lovely.

I've got more bits this week, which I've tried and which are ok, and had some nice bits yesterday.

I'm in Norwich, and I'm having little difficulty getting some decent bits.

Somebody asked how you navigate this site.

To get to the top go down past that fucking vile flogging shit that is coming OFF, down to a "did you find via a google/other search? do you want to read Gledwood Vol 2 from the top?" if you click there you should get to today, whatever is newest.

you can also just type in

http://gledwood2.blogspot.com

to do the same

you can go backwards by going right to the bottom of the page around the bits that don't change (best drug videos) there's a "newer/older" link you click on to go back approx one week at a time so 6 weeks needs 6 clicks

you can find other stuff by clicking the purple/blue words underneath a post that label it "addiction, heroin, drugs drought," etc etc etc that stuff


sounds like gear is as shit as always then


take care everyone

1. OK newer post/older post are on the left and right hand sides just before "heroin shortage news" as you scroll down. "heroin shortage news" is on every single page no matter how new or old

and that fucking picture that did my head in has GONE

2. so it sounds like those people who said its not happening till next (major) harvest in may/whenever were right

i can't believe somehting so minor as a third or even if it was half can push quality down THAT bad

it was my happiness in someone else's control that's what i hated about gear thats why i never want anywhere near that shit again, it took me long enough to get to where i am today, able to forget methadone doses because i don't even think about it. i'm not going back to all that obsession and misery and that feeling like i'm paying £10 for a morning piss, then I'm going to have to pay £10 for lunch and £10 for peace in the evening (and if I have it £10 for the middle of the night).... never again

yeah i know i'm not ok but at least the drs actually listen this time and don't do that sniffy shit you get when they think you're just trying to score off them. you score off a dealer. i thought drs were meant to be able to help some people in some way but there ya go

ok that's just me. i don't know what id do if i were you

i remember feeling so pissed off and offended during/after the drought in spring 2002 that i decided i would never again go through a situation like that. of course i did and it just made scoring that bit more exciting in a way and got me new dealers all that

i'm tired of all that now, wanna do something else, maybe you will one day too

good luck

Fuck me whats happened to everyone? Where's all the comments? Here's one anyway - Bath / Bristol - gradually been getting better then yesterday - very hard rocky Afghan gear, light brown, not bashed AT ALL, normal ish prices 75a T, 130 an eight, and available in weight. Certianly aint the strongest but point is its proper gear the like of which I aint seen since early december, and that was a fluke. Also, for £65 a gram (!), or £15 0.2g, some stronger gear, powdery and small lumps, tastes of deep heat but as I had almost identical stuff long before the drought, know that it aint down to the cut, but how its smuggled, ie with deep heat, and it picks up the odour. But is good tackle tho. So I think somethings def changing, I mean why the fuck would u be able to buy normal gear at normal prices most people would pay double for, if it aint here in weight?

Gledwood, well done and good luck to u mate - if u ever struggle tellin urself that u will 'never use again' then why not say 'I'll allow myselft to use, but only when the country is flooded with H4'!? That way, you'll never use again, but u could kid urself that u might!!

Everyone else-where the fuck are ya? C'mon - I done it, it aint that hard, UPDATE THE STATUS!!!
And can anyone tell me when the next harvest is in Afghan, is it right now in January? Peace all

I'm getting decent stuff now but still not as good as pre drought ,to be honest though I wish it had stayed gone for good ,was craving it when I could not get it like mad but got on with things and built up a nice collection of goodies (50" plasma ,surround sound) and all sorts of stuff ,now back to using my cash as gear tokens! ,I recon they held on to stock pile until they could see that the next harvest was going to come through ok ,and it is,and not long off now .good for you gledwood,got a feeling I will be following you down The same path .take care all

Hello guys. I am in the Bradford area and have being buying absolutely rank gear for months, I've had one good bag in this time. This means that I don't have a clue what there putting into it.

The other day I injected 2 bags together and then another 2 bags before going to bed and I ended up experiencing the most weird lunatic episode. My partner had to console me, I was drip, ice cold, my legs were violently shaking, not the bones but the leg muscles at the top of my legs, my stomach was hurting as-well as me thinking Im going "insane".
I was saying that I had to go away and I was actually making myself believe that I needed to be admitted into a mental hospital.
This went on from Midnight to 3am. My partner was really, really scared, I was really scared, it was just horrible, I am fine now but at the time it was like I was in torment, Like I was trying to escape something.
I later found out the next day that I had actually injected "speed". This would explain the fast beating of my heart and the ice-cold dripping that I felt, and my hard beating proper fast. (please look at the colour and try a little on foil first to see if it runs).
So the next day I scored off someone else that had sent me a msg saying "got good b, same thing, big bags. call me" so I did.
Two hours after scoring I went upstairs to cook it up. It cooked up fine, looked a nice dark brown in colour (in the liquid) and pulled up into the pin fine. So I found a vain and pushed half in, Then the plunger wouldn't move, I was pushing hard and nothing, pulled it out so see what looked like wall paper paist white bits solidifying, I went mental, he could have killed me. I rung him saying that he is not to text me again and that he will end up killing someone. Now I really do realise that there aint no point in using any-more, and that we are putting to much at risk by filling the bags with anything when its crap anyway, so your not gonna feel it.
I have not used for 2days now, and plan on not using again, not because I don't have the money but because the gear is ram. may as-well as use this drought as an opportunity to get clean after ten years of using.
Im 27 now, you know. Stop the money going over to the east supplying Mafia and whatever else they do with it. I think we should use this as an opportunity even more now as I've heard that only half of users are still using due to this drought.

I think somebody needs to regulate the gear now, that way they could give us half the social benefits, keep crime down, help take prostitutes off the streets and decrease the number of people being introduced to heroin.
The government really do need to asses the situation and they will need to work something out as allot of people will die. And I don't think the answer is methadone.

Keep safe, and remember to test the gear on foil before cooking up. look at the colour as-well.

Matt: that sounds more physical than mental. Or to put it another way there were reports here that Subutex was in gear. What you're talking of sounds a little like a dirty hit, but a dirty hit is more headache and extreme vomiting (with cold limbs). Those were my symptoms. I only ever got it off old filters, never gear, though some people have had it off gear.

Subutex puts you into withdrawal if you're ON methadone or on gear and it's still holding you.

Naloxone is an anti-overdose agent, that can make you start clucking.

Naltrexone does the same but is stronger and lasts 2 days or more. Don't go near it if you have a habit.

What you're describing sounds to me like clucking. The fact you talk about mental hospitals says a lot, because everyone loses it to some degree when clucking full-on Cold Turkey.

As a point of comparison I put this bit in ~ then you can compare how you felt with what a psych ward actually does. As I say it's far from a complete list but you get the gist:~

Mental hospitals would deal with: depression, anxiety, "speeding" but not on speed/coke/anything (mania), paranoia, hearing voices, hallucinations, panic, extreme insomnia (literally not sleeping for days on end) despair those types of things. I could not give a full list but those are most likely for addicts and addicts are most likely to use heroin to self-medicate the same condiitons which makes the issue so complicated I'm totally lost in it having lost it twice in 2 months. And all I did was stop doing gear and take methadone.

I got fucked up royally by the mental health system. Though I was diagnosed with one "mood disorder" (depression) I could have another (bipolar) but nobody knows yet. Despite years of symptoms and 2 breakdowns in 2 months (short but v intense, the 2nd was ultra-intense) nobody knows.

I'm on antipsychotics and sleepers but that's it. I don't despair I don't give up. I feel fine in myself but that was the trouble I felt too good, like I was cracked out and ultra-high not to mention very, very fast) when I hadn't done crack in 6 weeks! So nobody knows what it is, but I'm seeing a shrink.

Anyway Matt I hope some of this is some help..?

You could try googling what happened.

When I went on Subutex I was on 2x20B or 1x£20+about 20mg methadone dr. said "take it when you would have a hit" so I took it the minute i got home went into withdrawal, too fucked to score + broke and in no state to make money. I'd say it was about half as bad as complete cold turkey, I didn't get every symptom (I was puking and sweating heavily, but no jumping legs)... if you got the same stuff in gear that might explain why what you had was withdrawal-like but not exactly the same as full-on withdrawal.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY IDEAS? PLEASE.

Anonymous said...

Well fuck me, pardon my English I happen to be from the same area were this person/ppl have experianced these symptoms with this gear. I will get onto that in a minute.I last posted on here around the 7th January,sometime just after it was my post the following days of experiancing the same except I was glad I smoked mine,if not at all glad.I will now no longer buy herion unless its in block form or unless ther's some gud lumps in there, otherwise U can gurantee the fuckers have bashed it.The gear came from another asian from the BFD area and it was the pukka stuff (before) but this time he said to me hummm its a bit lighter this 1 after i'd jst given him the money so I knew strait away it would be bash.Got home put it on the foil and when heated up U could tell that there was a self made mix in it,anyhow never thought out of it, was even drunk at the time when I smoked it but then actually freaked out delusional that I had skin Cancer with a mole on my back(will get bk to this also)anyhow still managed to get some sleep cos by this time it was around 1-2am, then around 4.30 am I woke up sweating, trembling, panicking but also glowing at the same time as though on some E,or stimulant but not feeling too great nor too good,hell I was debating to go wait on the end of the st and wait for an AMBULANCE, however symptoms didn't last and things got better as time whent on so I jst persiveered till the morning but hell I felt shit for around 2-3 days after that.Getting back to the Cancer thing it was pure freeking hallucinations and delusions I was even crying to my mother saying now after all this I have skin cancer to find the next day when I looked in the mirror it was just a normal mole THANK GOD.So due to my experiances I can tell U that these dick heads have simply got an oz of gud gear and bashed it with Subatex wich explains the withdrawls and the glowing will be the bloody smart drugs they sell in tobacconists called M-KAT. I have nothing to prove this and myself am worried (underlining health issues) but am so thank full that I didn't pin this stuff and that it did stop (symptoms) and at the end of my last post I put IF IT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT DONT TAKE IT.(or something along those lines).I do feel for this person cos I believe its from the same made up batch that they are gonna mix with some of the decent gear thats about over here , there is but not alot, tenner bags .2,or .3 for 15, and these ppl know who the ripp off merchants are who are bashing the stuff and they are gonna take over the custom and the ones selling the bash well will loose their trade simple as, jst a matter off time.So to the person who took this stuff,I think it will be alright if U are getting better as time goes on but, dont buy anything that isn't solid,I'm a smoker and can see the impurites in the beetle when on the foil, so I can tell bash plus 15 yrs of this addiction so that stuff I avoid,the gud stuff (pure in block) it is here but its only the smaller dealers that have it which says it all,??? Hell I tested a bag and had to throw .3 down the loo cos it was pure bash ,this time I didn't want to RISK it so best of luck all, be safe and take care.

Well thanks for that gledwood and the guy that wrote after him.
Just so you know for yourself as you may live in same area, it was saj 902 that id rung on the last night that it conjealed, and the night before it was saj2000 when I had that lunatic eppisode.
Keep the good work up Gleds and I think you could easyly set an early warning system up somewhere. I know that the Bridge Project has tryed but they cannot publish dealer names so I think they had to put it on the back burner for now, maby you could set one up! Then we would know whats safe and what aint.

Take care and I will be cheching back in a few days.

I remembered something!

Does anybody know how long it takes for heroin and crack to leave a mouth swab?
My friend has a child and she is a good mother but her drug worker is trying to get things on her and she can do without it coming back positive. I know that there aint mush heroin in the brown so she will probably be fine with that its just the crack test.
Can anybody help??

Regards

~~I never bought subutex gear i was put on it by a dr. and was clucking because i didn't know how long to wait. asking a junkie to go sick is like asking for a toe instead of a urine sample "oh you won't miss it" fucking bullshit

~~anyway MATT the people who ought to be regulating gear are the GOVT and they can do that in the form of injectable and smokeable diamorphine on script. They give it out to a v select few what's so special about them? I satisfy entry criteria to diamorph treatment ~ easily. ie I was on methadone for years and using every single day I could on top. EVERY day I could. Never ever did days off gear except when I ran out of money, or a couple of times kept £20 in the Post Office over bank holiday weekends.

~~Yeah it does sound like subutex in gear. Feeling you're going crazy like I say is v much part of clucking and it's why clucking is so much uglier than flu which some idiotic dr who deserves striking off for only looking at physical signs which are considerably more severe than flu. And you don't have immense agitation with flu. Or near-total insomnia etc etc.

~~Re mental hospitals they're crap with drug addiction. Go if you feel suicidal. Take someone else if they genuinely cannot cope even with little things. This stuff they deal with. They know hardly anything about drugs and will want to put you in the Addiction box unless you have a diagnosis from before...

... just be careful folks. A hospital ain't a nice place to be if you're clucking!

~~Shane in France wrote a post about the drought he recalls in London from the end of 2001/early 2002 it sums up v well the attitude of the wankers in drug clinics who as we all know don't give a shit for us, they're only into tick-boxing their way to a better salary and promotion

http://memoiresofaheroinhead.blogspot.com/2011/01/hope-for-hopeless.html

~~o yeah re heroin in block form:

we had stuff that was obviously jumped up and down on but still strong enough to be OK, just before the drought ie in November I spose

you could see just by looking at it that they'd taken B, made it damp, mixed other shit in, dried it on a v low oven temp or just by a radiator

it had the look of sand that had gone wet and dried... i dunno how to explain, you could just see what had happened my mates spotted it and said look! and i did and they were right

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did anyone else notice this one before the drought ~ batches of gear that were strong in some parts, weak in others. So I thought 2 of my dealers had it in for me. Then I got a bag with 2 lumps in. One cooked up dark and was shit hot. The 2nd cooked up sallow and was shyte. One £20 bag! 2 totally different lumps. That taught me something. And they were exactly the same colour. I trust that dealer as well as I trust anyone I don't think he would have done that deliberately. Usually they crush together when doing that trick...

... anyhow did anyone else find that? Really unreliable quality from same batches. It happened to me from 2 or 3 different sources so I knew it must have been widespread. Done by idiots who cannot even apply common sense to mixing 2 powders!

Matty: cocaine in a mouth swab test

it's supposed to be min 3 hours max 4 days

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_far_back_does_the_mouth_swab_drug_test_detect_cocaine


3-5 days is the standard maximum time

i did crack on a friday and was tested on monday it came up in a piss test

you know btw they cannot distinguish crack and snorty coke... just something to bear in mind, being as snorty coke doesn't sound as "bad"

i hope your friend is ok

i remember the quality issues coming from the same batch,was buying about 4 oz a week between a few of us,we were working our way through a pound of the stuf but after 9-10 oz the quality dipped badly.it was coming into liverpool docks down to wales and then into our hands.the scouse down here said he hadn't shaken the bag,fool.needless to say we left him alone after an oz of the bad stuff.

Hi its the BFD lad again, yeah Bridge project in BD1 is very helpfull, but I think legally they just aren't allowed to put who's safe and who isn't. It would be nice if they could do something like that,! but I think their hands are tied.Getting back to gear being in solid lump form, I know it can be cut and re-pressed with anything,???(I'm now 32 first started H,when 15 yrs old)_ ,and it does happen,I know, but off the same person who has now a reputation for having the ok cleaner better stuff, in purer block form I just will not risk it,hell I remember the days when U put a rock on the foil and it still ran in block form now it all melts before it runs,???? in fact I know 2-3 ppl who are cosher and say another 5 that aren't.Hell I got .3 given to me for doing him a favor and I'm glad I didn't pay 15 for it cos,when cooked up,!it turned yellow orange and smelt off piss,so after my Subatex experiance ?M-Kat epersode or whatever it was,?? I slung it down da bog no way worth the risk,I hate Subatex its something in it that doesn't agree with me was on a script for 3 yrs down to 9 stone nah my teeth crumbling no thanks, as soon as swapped back on to Methadone I felt warm and better can not explaine it.However I think Subatex is still a god send for a short detox getting off program but no way for a long term stabalisation program it seemed to rott me up.It would be pointless for me to mention my area in BFD cos thers still alot of ppl about with crap and I can not afford to risk anything, I hope things get better for U but if U are around the Bridge project (users service in bfd)am sure thers some ppl who can still point U in the ok direction, take care everyone be aware be safe.

The last Government didn't even listen to it's own medical / scientific advisors on the subject of drug legalisation / treatment, I've a feeling that this new " puppet show, punch & judy style " Government wont either, in fact they're probably more likely to do the opposite of what advice they are given by any advisors say. Even though the lib/dems for a short time did preach drug - reform laws ( pre-election ). They're just a shower of shit you couldn't throw a handfull of rice at the cabinet & hit one half decent politician. Forget them & live your life by your own moral beleifs, chances are that they are of higher moral fibre than any of those pricks. Play


Its from the daytime tv programme 'This Morning'

This Morning Former defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth has called for the Government to consider legalising drugs, saying prohibition has failed to protect the public. “The war on drugs has been ‘nothing short of a disaster’ and it is time to study other options, including decriminalising possession of drugs and legally regulating their production and supply”. What do you think? Post your comments below and they may be used on air. (Copied and pasted)

I added my comment on there :PunkyTina Brophy: As there is a heroin drought at the moment,the government dont need to do much other than keep it that way... Maybe make it easier for the addicts without scripts to get scripted and also use harm reduction policy as its intended and not just throw Oral methadone at ALL addicts! I do however think those already addicted would be better off prescribed Heroin than pharmaceutical shit.. Maybe take over the supply and use it for the addicts that way it takes the powder power away from dealers and any crime associated with it
the game...just don't get caught when you break THEIR rules


Prohabition of any substance has always failed throughout history, whether it was prohabition of alcohol in U.S.A, or more recentley prohabition of narcotics in the world today ( which is mostly down to pressure on other countries from the U.S.A ) During a trip to Morroco once one of the local policemen told me that he reckoned that up to 90% of male Moroccans smoked hash & that it was only due to political pressure from the U.S.A that they had to make laws ( albeit ones that were rarely adhered to ) to ban the sale of it. This was all discussed as I was waiting for his brother to come back with the smokes that I had just purchased. A truly bizarre situation!
If Governments really want to practice what they preach, ie. " Harm Reduction " then the only way forward is to legalise certain substances, that way they can control the quality & distribution of them. Putting your unsrupulous criminal dealers out of the picture completely. Who's going to go & buy some shit of the street when you can get it prescribed to you by a health proffessional. The revenue that Governments could make from such a system ( considering the drug trade is one of the top 5 econimies in the world ) could easily fund such a system of distribution, even if they did want me to pay a liitle extra for my prescription, I'd far rather pay that & get my drug of choice. As far as heroin goes I know from spreaking to other people, from my own experience & by reading posts on this forum that a lot of opiate users would like to smoke opium & see if they could stabilise themselves on that.
Anything is better than the draconian laws that we have to put up with just now & SO obviously do not work, it's worth a try the Government(s) can't make the situation any worse than it is at present.

What Do You Think??

All 29 users on injecteabl presciriptions in Cambridge were told late April that their prescriptions were to be 'individually reviewed'; now they are all in the process of being switched, individually, to methadone linctus.
Cambridge has no history of cavalier prescribing. All those concerned were given their prescriptions only after all else had failed. The group includes eight on diamorphine maintenance; all but one of these are in their late fifties and sixties and have had their prescriptions for an average of 17 years. Between them they accumulated 45 criminal convictions for drug-related crime; since they've been on diamorphine, none. Some have now gone decades without recourse to the black market; all live settled existences that, they believe, would not have been possible without their prescriptions, nor if their precriptions are removed. Unsurprisingly, they share a costant sense of dread. The statistics are not avialable for the 21 users on methadone ampoules but, broadly, their experiences appear to tell a similar story.
The change, those affected were told, was ' on cost gorunds '. Users note wrly that extra counsellors are being employed to help them ' structure their days' and similar gobbledegook innapropriate and insulting to grandparents approaching pension age. They also comment on the costs of repeated and extensive outsourced 'drug testing', increased monitoring, ill-attended classes and beaucratic excesses since Addaction took over as dsp for Cambridgeshire two years ago. Those on diamorphine also query why diamorphine linctus is not on offer as an alternative for those who experienced unhappy reactions to methadone.
They are inclined to think a truer motive may be that their histories manifestly contradict the ' recovery equals abstinence' and ' one model fits all' approach to drug treatment. " It seems that if you're not a tabloid gutter junkie they're going to make you into one," said one user bitterly.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of injectable or maintenance prescription for new users, it is an entirely different proposition for those already with a long history of succesful maintenance. There is, for example, no recorded instance of anybody successfully conquering a diamorphine addicion aged over 55; for the sp to expect eight so to do indicates either an ingenuous or callously indifferent attitude to the fates of these individuals

Anonymous said...

Their protests that physical, mental and spiritual realities are simply being ignored are met with a glib' you'll thank us when you're on linctus', It beggars belief but it's happening now in Cambridge; recoveries of decades duration are already beginning to unravel as users grapple with the stress and disruption of 10% monthly cuts. But, hey what's the lives of a few ageing addicts when you've a masterplan?
Addaction took over the contract here in 2009. Is there any field other than that of drug treatment where an organisation can grow so big without challenge or investigation? Since they arrived here, nodified addict numbers are down-no new scripts save for supervised syrup for the persistent&thickskinned-while, in the real world, dealers offer a free 'bag' if the customer waits more than 20 mins for delivery and a red light area has sprung up to accomodate poor women addicts. It seems the only people to benefit since Addaction's arrival here have been unemployed social workers and corporate middle managers, black market dealers and, possibly, those wanting to come off and needing an instiutional support structure. In time, the effects of what is arguably a simplistic,cosmetic approach to the complex problem of addiction will become apparent to the wider population; hopefully, it will then be discredited.(cold comfort for the 29) But, as history teaches, people will swallow what they're told where ' drugs' are concerned.
So tell themthe truth-now, before they swallow the Maddaxtion fantasy and addicts everywhere swallow methadone syrup... in sleepy Canbridge, lives long mended by a judicious application of a programme of injectable mainenance are presently being ripped apart, and decent human beings treated like experimental laborary animals. Those of you who've done a kick know how long it took to regain anything like your natural energy and feel on top of things again; now, iimagine coming off in your sixties from a 20 year habit and figure when you'd be right again. Enuf said?i
Let me be clear. Longterm injectable maintenance is not for everyone; , just that very few who find it impossible to stop their using behaviour,whatever the cost, and on whom it produces a marked, and defineable improvement. People like the Cambridge 29, in fact. Are they to be condemnded to an uncertain futurre. wth icriminilisation and disnintegration among the likelier outcomes, in order to "prove" that recovery means abstinence? Unless somebody speaks out, and speaks out soon, it seems quite probable. The 29 need your help and support and now. Any ideas out there?

With reference to the cambridge 29,this makes me think of a similiar scheme that was being run by the chelsea and westminster hospital in fulham early 2000 onwards.Two of my closest friends were on this injectable diamorphine scheme.They both died within weeks of each other cos of hep c complications,so i am cut off from that scene and i don't know if they are too being affected by the "cuts".Some of the people there were publishing a magazine called black poppy that was on the junkies side,maybe its still going?I just hope that someone helps these people,it would have meant an even earlier death for my mates if they had been forced off their scripts into street use.Whats happening in england is scandalous and includes definite human rights violations but what to do?Very scary times to be poor and a member of a minority...

Gledwood said...

I used to read Black Poppy. I rang them and said I was a using addict and got it delivered to my mate's house (I was all over the place housing-wise).

The woman who runs it, Erin, though I don't know her personally I know she's on injectable diamorph 3x100mg a day which would have been between a £10 and a £20 bag in pre-drought purity (40% supposed average, do the maths yourself!) ~ that's per 100mg amp. She campaigns for better treatment of addicts.

By injectable scripts you do mean diamorph? Not methadone? I didn't google as can do without being wound up yet again over an issue that winds the living shit out of me every time it crosses my head.

That crap-arse "review" sounds typical of the treatment given addicts. That's why I wanted off gear. Being treated like shit when I was in an ever worsening mental state that crossed into Desperation several times.

On the one hand I'm being told I'm "self medicating" which sounds all lovely and lar lar lar but they gave me fuck all of their own meds, apart from the Mean Green.

I cannot take antidepressants. They hype me up, then I crash into worse depression. Not what those pills are meant to do.

Now I'm on different meds and finally getting treatment that feels like proper medical treatment. But I'm off street shit.

I suppose I'm putting this as a shout out to anyone else who feels they need medical help but is not being listened to. If you're on a script and can sort out not using on top, try that. You might find it works a magical difference Staff Attitude-Wise. (We live in hope!)

Take care everyone :-)

hello! Im in Liverpool. Bought B today that was actually decent. Pre drought 5/10 (maybe less, just tollerance is so low now). Anyway, it got my eyes pinned and Im itching like mad. Not really gouchy but feel nice and stoned, definite heroin-no orangey stuff. Got another bag off different source (this was 310 instead of 315, for 0.2g) and it was complete crap-0/10-just orange, no heroin AT ALL. So there is gear in Liverpool, but you gotta be very specific who you buy off

Gledwood and Everyone else.

I am arranging to see my local MP (Philip Davis). Regarding methadone and the effects of this drought.
I am wanting people to tell and explain the pro's of being prescribes legal heroin.

I know that there are currently 432 clients that are prescribed legal gear in this country (most in Brighton area).
If you are one of these people yourself then please - How has being prescribed Real Legal Pharisaical Heroin changed your life?
What can be done to help others? What are the pro's?
How many belive Methadone is not the answer and why?
If you know that we need real heroin from our goverment, either for mental helth, ease of mind or just because you cant get off it then please, lets unite and see our MP's.

I haven't being buying the crap that they have being selling recently as gear, for 7 days now -) I feel great without it.
I am gonna fight for the poor sods that are still having to buy this shit.

I just need some stories to back me up when I have a chat with the local MP's.

I know that they will probably not be able to back the idea, but if we unite together we just may get somewhere.
At the moment there is a drought on, ma by our very own government did blight the crop and we are needed to speak up and let our voices be heard, we need good, safe and clean gear, not the crap there selling that is putting our lives at risk.

If you are reading this and have something to say then please say.
I will defiantly make him see this blog so please share your experiences and why you think things need to change and why do you think it is the right time for drug re-form??

Ill keep you all posted, I think it will be Wednesday. I will keep everyone posted but I cant do this without people's help and opinions.

Would be appreciated.

Got a bag yesterday. €40 (Ireland). I shot it up in two digs and got proper stoned. My eyes were pinned for hours and I got an itch I haven't felt since the end of October. Was decent stuff that's for sure. But €20 a shot is ridiculous. There's stuff here alright. Just pricey. Stay safe and stay away from dirt.

Please go see your local MP's. I have been sending e-mail's to mine for the diamorphin prescription. We need clean drugs. I feel if you lazy people get off your backsides we could get the goverment to listen, we can help to stop the next generation getting adicted.


PLEASE go see your local MP. I have being in conversation with mine and it can be done, just they need more of us to come forward.

MP- Philip Davis - Conserative- Shipley

Gledwood said...

OK I'm going to write a pretty detailed letter to my MP, to the Minister of Health and whoever is in charge of Drug Policy

all 3 need to hear the truth.

At least as someone who's not using gear now but who did for quite a long time they should listen.

I'm going to try and keep it low key. Going OTT is only going to put them off and make me sound like a junkie with a chip on my shoulder. It's not for me I'll be writing, but for everyone else. I think that might actually help my case.

Gledwood said...

You can get free subscriptions to Black poppy by just ringing up saying you're actively addicted and they'll deliver to whatever address you give. I had to give a friend's house. If you really haven't got a safe place to stay and are on methadone, they might deliver via your worker.

They need good articles and pay something like a tenner.

You can tell your life story, you can tell any good or bad or weird experience, you can give your views on methadone prescription or diamorphine prescription ~ anything to do with drugs they're interested in. You can also do in memoriam pieces in honour of lost friends.

They probably will tidy up and edit what you say, most articles are somewhere between a few hundred words and 2000 words. 2000 words would be about 6 or 7 pages double spaced in 10 point courier.

Come on people write for Black Poppy; it's a magazine for drug users, addicts and reformed addicts. So give your point of view!

mattyorks said...

Well done glads. Just what I needed to hear.

I promise you that im not a fuck abour and I my self have had to stop coz of this drought but it has made me feel absolutely great.

Please promise that you will see your MP and even if your MP cannot deal with it (or just can be arsed) Then who do we go to next?? I dont know who we see next, but if he dontr want to listen then ill be asking who is higher than him! (promise)

I left a comment on the 6th saying I got a bag for €40. I got another today for €30 quid. I had thrown away my works after taking my last bag, as I was afraid of my girlfriend finding needles and me supposed to be clean. I'm just after smoking the bag and I'm pleased to report the gear is A-OK. Just like any normal gear I took before the drought. I know of a few people still selling muck, but if you look hard enough out there, gear of an acceptable quality can be found. I hope any of you still looking can find something nice. Just stay safe and ride it out. Things seem to be picking up my end here in midland Ireland. Sorry for rabbiting on, but there you go!

Stay safe,

Okay. Yesterday I got am E-mail off my MP stating that he will be talking to the"Goverment Minister" in reagrds to giving problamatic Heroin users Diamorphine, but only I didnt see the Email untill today, So I took to the phone and spoke with his wife that confirmed that she was just typing up a case to back our plight. She said he will be speaking to the Goverment Minister sometime this week. But she did tell me that if this is going to happen that we need to stick with it and get more people getting in contact with Your local MP's, even MEP'S.

Have anybody else explained why they think Diamorphin could be used for Heroin user's? And what the pro's of doing it would be?

Ill defo stay on with this one just to try stop the next generation getting addicted, I think we owe it to them.

Hi, Great idea regaurding writing to MP's etc.Althougth this does seem like a long term strategy. Most lookin for a quicker fix to their woes,pun intended. Sure plenty agree with whats being said re current scripting practices. Maybe a downloadable letter for people to forward to their MP's. Make it as easy as possible. Just an idea. Drought just highlights how shite our system is.

mattyorks said...

THIS IS THE COPY THAT I DID.

PLEASE AMEND WHERE NEEDED FOR YOUR USE AND IF YOU FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MISSING THEN PLEASE DO PUT YOUR FEELINGS IN.

Dear MP.
As you may no we are at the moment experiencing Afghanistan poppy drop has being blighted by a bacterial fungus with has resulted in the dealers selling crap because there is not heroin until the next crop farmed in Afghanistan.

Now because Heroin is a major problem in our country and that the money that is used to buy the drug is often used to fund serious crime and the majority of the money is being shipped over to the east.

Why don't we use this to our advantage and give the heroin users diamorphin which there are 243 people in the UK at the moment that are actually prescribed this, that would help all sorts of people and stop the money being passed on to fund serious crime.

I believe that this is the right time for change, I'm changing in as well, I've not used that crap for over two weeks that they are selling because I know that it is just "bash", I feel that if I don't say anything then I am not helping stop young kids getting hooked. So now is time for change

There needs to be change with this, and for the country this is the best time for change while the poppy crop is down, because when the next clean crop is farmed I believe that the next generation of kids will be getting hooked, Dont you believe that it would be best to give the addicts Diamorphine form the chemist to the addicts? By doing this you are stopping users needing to call dealers, which stops the crime and people like me can actually go out to work instead of being in benefits, prostitutes out in the streets and im sure that the parents of the three working girls would agree (I knew all three).
It really is time we tackled this Issue, I know its a Gray area, but it can work, only with your backing.

I can get other peoples thoughts on the matter if you like, maby doctors, hostel workers, vice police, anything to stop the next generation getting a habit on that and the Afghanistan people funding crime illegally.

The doctors all ready prescribe this to over 200 people in the UK at the moment (most in Brighton).
I would be more than happy to talk with you at length if you don't understand anything that I can maby explain.

Thanks for your time and please dont hesitate to contact me.

Regards

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS WILL NEED TO BE ON THE LETTER AS THEY WILL NEED ADDRESS FOR AREA SERVED PURPOSES.

I spoke with my MP's wife and she herself is comprising other letters and what she said is more people NEED to contact there MP for it to be able to be PUSHED threw.

WestLondon is pretty shit still...3/4 of regular dealers have disspeared... the other one remaining is on and off with gear that ranges between 2/10 to 6/10...

yeah,i'm in west london too,not much about just 5/10 stuff.Something decent gets thru once in a blue moon.I am beginning to wonder what gear feels like,its been so long....i can't just stop using,i did a coupla years ago and had such severe anxiety it was a nitemare. so methadone holds me and bloats me and i hate it.

Gledwood said...

Anxiety: Doctors are bitches and bastards there's a really good chemical remedy for anxiety called Valium 10s, if you can be strict with yourself take them on a reducing basis over a month or two but you'll have to use the same willpower you put into stopping gear else you know what it's like the habit just jumps ship to the new substance.

Deep breathing and shit like yoga helps with anxiety even shit like long hot baths definitely work, I speak as someone who had it for years (with depression) problem was I felt so depressed after an hour in the bath... but not anxious so hey.

I only get anxiety now when a specific thing is stressing me it's not free-floating like it used to be, ie there all the fucking time. I think what made it go away was when i told myself and got it into my thick skull that worrying about shit is just a big waste of time and energy and you worry less by knowing no irrelevant details eg if you're late and travelling dont check the time it wont get you there any faster... i could go on all day you have my full sympathy, severe anxiety is the fucking pits, worse than depression in a lot of ways good luck

i felt exactly the same when i came off gear cold turkey years and years ago, i basically used to stop feeling shit, it held me 2 days per tiny hit (no anxiety i mean, i had no physical habit at all now)... i couldn't get valiums, i mean i needed 40 or more blues not 2 or 3 and scoring gear was 10 times easier you really need contacts to get a constant supply of benzos which i just didn't have back then

i hope this helps

Gledwood said...

ACE 21: it wouldn't surprise me at all if the harvest goes up big time

hey you must have heard the news that the price on a key only doubled from 20k to 40k so why all the shit? fair dos it was probably difficult to get hold of for a month or so

they've fucked up their business more than they thought they would, not realizing how many punters actually get scripted methadone, have had habits for years and used that drought the way i did to get the fuck away from something i was bored of anyhow: i know 3 people off the top of my head who just gave up and 1 is definitely like me, not using gear at all. if he knew someone who had good b he'd tell me and he can't tell me anything, also he's not a bullshitter like a lot of people "i'm so clean i don't use do you know anyone with decent white?" type person

i knew there was a fungal blight they cooked up in a lab that destroys supposedly coca bush, opium poppy and cannabis plant. considering coca is a pretty sturdy bush, poppy is a flower, we all know what weed looks like they're 3 totally different things that shit is going to seriously fuck up agriculture and that's exactly what they're saying is happening so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they'd been idiotic enough to use it

if the world poppy situation just died we'd have crooks cooking up synthetic opiates instead which are potentially incredibly dangerous that's where that "china white is fentanyl" bullshit you still hear online comes from. china white is just h4 from burma, pure white like talc, fentanyl will look the same. in the mid 80s some idiot tried to cook up a batch of fentanyl-related shit that was a molecule or two out hence legal, fucked it up and gave loads of people instant parkinsons (this is the source of that bullshit that E gives you parkinsons i used to hear in the early 90s, it was a designer drug, but a designer opioid, not an e type drug)

totally forgot where i was going with this

hey am i the only person to have noticed gear went up in price about 2 or 3 years ago definitely and the papers said so too, they said it used to be 13k a kilo uptil the late summer 2008 drought, then 20k a kilo, now 40 or 50k which is serious pisstaking i mean that's £50 a gram even cutting it 50% will give 40% purity on decent brown which is what it supposedly used to average out as... ie £25 on a street G as bought wholesale ie ridiculous prices, the situation is totally fucked up now

i'm not going near piss weak gear that's like taking a steak dinner and spitting on it and dolloping dogshit on the side. gear is food of the gods and not to be fucked about with!

Gledwood said...

PREGGS i'll get back to you i can't find any emails i actually want to find they've fucked mine up so the screen i read it in is so tiny i can barely see anything i'm changing companies plus i'm fed up of contact adds from russian whores, viagra companies and bullshit to do with about 10,000 other things i don't want either

i hope you're ok i wasn't sure what was doing your end you realize i kind of got lost in my own shit the past couple of months it's fucked everything up bigtime i'm in total chaos here but i'll send you this message i have something important i wanna blah blah about

Anonymous said...

Hi All.
First I would like to say thank you to Gledwood for enabling this long-running discussion and to all those who add comments. This site, along with a couple of others, has really helped me keep my sanity over the last 4 months.
Up here in Edinburgh the situ is still very bad. The main rubbish is the stuff that crystallizes in the barrel - possible to use if double filtered but still very weak. On the whole this is coloured the usual golden colour but in some cases sneaks have added a colouring agent that makes it very dark - almost black - in order to disguise the crystallisation.
There was a very small bit of not bad stuff about at the end of last week but the snides are using it to con people.
The guy that I considered my oldest friend conned me with it last week. He sold me a bag - it was nothing special but at least it would come out of the barrel the same way it went in. The next day I called him and he said that it was the same stuff so I bought two (by the way, up here you pay £20 for .25g) and he had lied through his teeth to me. Same old shite.
Over the last few months I have been slowly deleting numbers from my phone as they con me or rip me off. I now have just one business phone number left! It doesn't say much for the honesty of us Trainspotting folks.
Kind regards,
D.

Same stuff as been getting for 3 weeks; it's light brown/tan, lumpy/rocky, and smells opiumy, as it should. At first I was over the moon as, compared to the bash, this shits great. I thought it was proper afghan, un-stamped on gear, albeit a little weak...5-6/10 on the PRE DROUGHT scale. But having been smokin it for a while Im a lot less convinced now. It runs very light for gear, and darkens as u go on, and it doesnt taste of all that much, and u dont get that much smoke off it. However, it defo has a reasonable amount of H in it (compared to the 0-5% purity bash), and it held me after stoppin me green for a few days. But it aint proper. At first I thought Afghan gear, just a weak batch, now Im thinking gear thats been cut, and re pressed to blocks. But Ill still smoke it as its usual prices and available in weight - that makes me suspicious too. Altogether better, but very slowly. I soooooooo want some nice gear, I really have forgotten what its like, and convinced myself that my meth is blocking the H I use on top, even tho I know this isnt true for me personally, I used to always nod off regular pre drought gear, even on 80ml green. Soz 4 long post, I wanna know if anyone else has had this stuff? Peace off to the chemist for me liquid handcuffs

MG West Yorkshire said...

the drought is ravaging, no signs of it easing, i dont think anyone knows what the future for heroin is, as for drug treatment, this tory /liberal dems government are fucking cutting the spending for the NHS services for drug treatment, ie. {bringing ALL the services GP etc together in one place so as to save money}, what of the addicts that are dual diagnosis that suffer depression from long term addiction problems? i give up trying to continue to chase{at least until i know for sure the situation improves}, as for methadone ive tried spilt dosing 95mls, my miss split doses her 80mls, but still its HARD, VERY HARD, especially when one is used to using on a daily basis, its taking its toll and i cant see Heroin coming back as it was before this drought hit in november, there are dealers that are selling bunk, it below sub-standard and its impossible to EVEN try and survive with outragous prices and all, take care ppl and dont bother trying to continue, its hopeless.

The reason I copyed it was because it is so try and no-one was really saying that. It is so true. I promise that I will never do that again without mentioning the sourse as I belive if you have read it some where then other people should beable to aswell, I just forgot to say where I got it from.

So sorry H4u. And by the way I think your talking a load of shite about smuggling, YOU defo wouldnt be using an open chat forum to communicate to fellow smugglers would you. I wouldnt be supprised if the police dont knock on your door and search you out as they are trying to stop drugs getting in and your arranging "pick up's meets and Drop off's"> I think your mad if you think the police dont scower chat forum's on a daily basis, so yeah id say that I think they will be on your back if you do carry on talking on a forum about smuggling drugs into the country and which route your taking. MAD.

Who's talking about drug smuggling? No drug importer is going to reveal their modus operandi here are they?

We all know how it's done, just watch Undercover Customs, specially the one about the cocaine boat where they had to tear the hull apart and endless bails of Colombia's finest appeared. Every crew member seemed to have their own stash.

That crack that is called Pink is supposed to be that colour because it's brought in in red soda pop. Don't know if that's true, but it's what I heard.

Right I did do gear x2 in the past week. The first deal was 2 tiddly things for £15. I did both at once IV and they blew the living shit out of me, but bear in mind my tolerance has fallen. I haven't touched the shit in weeks. The other stuff was a £20 bag that he did for £15 and it had that crystallizing shit in it. I had to let the 2nd hit cool in the spoon (and crystallize there) then draw it up cold. There's another method of getting past the crystals but that's more dangerous bc you're putting them in your body. Anyway they both worked and felt OK but I just can't be bothered paying for something that's shit even when it knocks the shit out of me I'm never high enough it's crap I don't do crack because it's hardly ever properly washed (or full of bash) ~ nothing like the shit they used to sell years ago that made my ears whoosh. I cannot be bothered with any of it any more. I only use gear when I feel so miserable I don't know what else to do. Far as I'm concerned that's the only use it has. I'm on methadone. Methadone holds me now but it does nothing to stop my mood going like a rollercoaster, which gear used to "solve"... until even gear wouldn't stop it properly. So I'm in a complete fucking mess. I hope y'all are doing better than that, whether you're on gear or no gear.

I think those idiots at the top end fucked up their business more than they know because a lot of old timers just cannot be bothered any more with scoring. Some switched to Special Brew, others just stopped. All are on scripts and have been for years. I know someone on 150mls methadone who uses once a month or so and he says it's shit compared to last year, apart from one lot he got from out of town that was going at £60 a gram.

Anyone on a script look around the methadone clinic. Nearly everyone is in their 30s and 40s if not older. Youngsters don't do gear any more. If those dealers want to impress anyone they'll have to try a hell of a lot harder. And they won't recruit new customers selling weak shit.

Who knows what will happen in the future. Afghanistan has only been the major gear producer since some time in the mid/late 90s. Before that, Burma made shit loads. Maybe the situation will change. Colombia makes gear but according to Interpol/etc only a few tonnes H4 a year, enough to supply New York and surrounding towns, but nowhere else.

That's all I have to say, be safe ;-)

ANON: RE CAMBRIDGESHIRE

I was told late last year by somebody on injectible diamorphine in cambridge that these were being withdrawn. he is in his late 30s, maybe early 40s at the max, and i know he had a bad criminal past before going relatively straight. however, its worth noting that he was scoring heroin and crack at this den, where i met him and he told me about this.

i live in cambridge, and at 17 was sent to a local methadone clinic which was later taken over by addaction who im with now. i was the youngest person by ten years and suprise suprise i hadnt touched a needle till then, sorry, i wouldnt put a young smoker on heroin for a couple of months with a bunch of hardened iv users. they watched me go from desperate, to desperatER and still only could have methadone, couldn't i. it makes me sick you have to hit fucking rock bottom, get a criminal record the 10miles long before you are deemed ADDICTED enough to be given what your risking and fucking up your life for. grrrrrr
i work with a prominest ex cop who campaigns to legalise drugs. drop me a line, i want to write to teh paper about this.

Just a short note to say my MAN from brum has just got something for the first time since 7-11-10 and it's the 2nd best stuff i have had since the drought started (the best i had was a silly price anyway) He was right when he said to me "I WILL NOT SELL YOU BOLLOCKS" And when i get something decent i'll bell you (a long time as past since that conversation) and he did. I also highly rate it as well as a few others. Not bad stuff for the situation we are all in at the moment. by the way i am aged 43 and no MUG. You do the maths. Anyway it's 33% pricier but what do you expect ?. NICE BLOG GLED AND I AM SORRY ABOUT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES MATE! I TOO HAVE HAD SIMMLAR ISSUES OVER THE YEARS AND TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.

Just a quickiw with an update from Chesterfield.Things have been pretty poor to be honest up until last week,the ok stuff pre christmas and early Jan disappeared and its been the TCP tastin stuff which cooks up inky,gives u a buzz but not an opiate rush as such then last week got a call from one of the lads I aint spoken to for a while sayin things were finally back!! Didnt get my hopes up to much but he was right,it knocked my socks off and I have to admit although I had decent round christmas this was the first truly decent since October,got itches and everythin and also the next day was gouchin still at work,now ive not had that for years wghich tells me 2 things,1.Its really strong and 2.My tolerance was that low even though I thought I was still usin most days that the gear cant have had anything more than about 2 to 3 percent opiate in it,thousands of pounds over 4 months for fuck all is the conclusion ive come to!! Anyway,this had a real knock on effect and the rest of the old dealers are poppin back up one by one all with something half decent pre drought to very decent!! I think the bash days round here are over for now,just gotta hope it stays that way. Bit of a bastard though as Id been managin on my green for 3/4 days at a time sometimes and my key worker has never had so many negatives off me!!! Stay safe y'aall. By the way if you have I-Tunes go to podcasts and download the Hooked podcasts for free,fantastic info from 2 drug workers with a sense of humour and us addicts well being at heart!!

Maby we could arrange something, so maby it would be the right time to do a nice protest.

Im saying that I thinkalong with many others that we should be given Diamorphin, maby for those that cant stop re-offending.

See im confused now. It seems like the gear is going up in purity but what about how we have felt? What about the people that have being given a lifeline and being forced off it! I think we should all stick togeather an get people to listen to what we say and what previous research.

I would be greafull if anyone could help me out by writing articulate words and reasons as to why we should be listened to.

Thanks

I have e-mailed my MP again saying basically that I think they are too scared of change and just dont know where to start. I have been dedicating my-self to this plight and probly will continue to do so.I have included all links as they really need to know that we CANNOT carry on to live in a society with NO "illegal drug regulation".I just hope that im not on my own here,I know im not.We can and will do it togeather if im to be involved in this malarky.

Here is a copy of what I sent to my local MP.Not let utalise and make a stance.

MG West Yorkshire said...

I am wondering if you have had a reply from the Minister regarding better treatment for "Heroin addicts".I have been clean from Heroin for just under a month now and have been speaking with loads of people on the net,looking at news paper blogs and Heroin users forums as-well as normal feelings about drugs.

It is the fact that the normal consensus is that drugs should be sort of legalised under regulation.If you take a look at the following statement and the link you will see that there is a hell of allot of people re-writing the Drug policy,and in this people are getting together to find a way to"classify"the system.

STATEMENT OF DRUG CLASS.
regulate drug sales to a scale of harm and place all drugs on the act list(that includes alcohol and such),put age limits in place,tax and remove the market from the "Mr big"criminals,separate the sale of soft and hard drugs to remove the dealers gateway effect and concentrate on weaning those off of hard drugs at their pace with guidance,invest the tax on education , health and policing! its very simple and proven to work unlike prohibition that costs £110 billion a year with a 1% success rate and uses its own side effects to implement more prohibition like the con man paradox it is!

yes lets remove drugs from the hands of children and criminal control and lets not give the addicts of now,reasons to commit crimes to fund their habit because they have no help and lets remove all future addicts from criminal control,turning off the flow of all future addicts to a drip.you see a regulated system will do more to reduce drug related harm than prohibition ever could for less,in a fraction of the time,even paying for its own success if managed in the right harm reduction way,so if we spend £110 billion a year on a system of regulation based on a scale of harm,where's the evidence saying it wont work,as there is plenty of evidence showing prohibition has never worked in the last 40 years,it looks to me like this money that's not getting the job done is funding these con men and promoting more prohibition and they will do what ever they can to keep it that way (easy money),considering they have the marketing lobby power and money to do so to.

I would like to see introduction rates to harder drugs like heroin reduced by separating the sales of unregulated substances,like cannabis, that kids find easier to get than more damaging alcohol,regulated so people dont end up getting sold harder drugs!
as the police cuts come into play this is going to be a green light to that type of criminals that will sell to kids,it is extremely frustrating,even more so when the so called government experts are almost all selected yes men and have no clue of the what they are talking about when it comes to cutting drug related harm,is it no wonder they refuse to take part in any public debate,but they will soon tell us what we the "public wants",poring good money into an already failed program is an ideal way to launder tax me thinks!

And the sourse: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/feb/16/release-helpline-closure-frank?commentpage=4#start-of-comments
I have ruined much of my adult life due to the fact that strong drug were not infact regulated.
I have the feeling that things aint going to stop her,I can see people protesting in London sometime this year as I feel that we are not being listerned to as a nation.
We definatly are in the best time for a drug re-form and I think it would just take the "guts" of one person to say that and so many people would be behind him/her,and that is the Governing Minister.Please do let me know what's being said if anything so then I will know what the next move will be.Thank-you so much for reading and I hope that as a country we can come to some sort of resolution soon otherwise my years of addiction just would not have been worth it somehow.

It is a marker of how depraved and dysfunctional the policy of prohibition is, that a story such as this

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-12588316

Three men have been found dead at addresses in Lancashire within about an hour.

The men, aged 52, 36, and 32, were found in properties in Burnley, Colne and Nelson between 2315 GMT on Friday and 0020 GMT on Saturday.

Police have said they are treating the deaths as unexplained but are concerned they may be linked to a batch of heroin in the area.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crimestoppers.

Det Ch Insp Stuart Dixon, of Lancashire Police, said: "It is too early to say whether the cause of the deaths are connected, but we are concerned that there could be a particularly strong batch of heroin in the area and I would urge anyone who uses heroin and who may be concerned to contact their local healthcare provider.

"We have circulated a warning to our partners in the healthcare agencies and those that offer support to drug users."

....might be the news we have been waiting for - that decent gear is finally back in supply again. Three more totally unnecessary and preventable deaths to add to the long list of those killed by policies which seek to impose someone elses moral choices on others.

If its true that you northerners are getting good gear since this endless drought began, then how come here in London its bunk? im in east London and havent had anything thats true quality since december. wtf is going on?? someone tell me plzzzzzzzzz

bradford maybe?

Just for the last poster

I aint used for 4 weeks today an I think the reason that northaners have been getting better gear is because we are closer to Bradford then you.

We are more likly to get first as of the indian live here, thats all I can say to the question.

Anyone else any thoughts on that???


Im still clean!!!!!!

Gledwood said...

I'm in London the gear is still shit and I have a clear (on methadone) system that used to get used on top of all the time now I just cannot be bothered with shitty crap I can barely feel straight in a vein let alone skinpopping. Wouldn't smoke it myself, I just cannot feel anything by smoking. I wouldn't advise anyone start banging up. Single biggest mistake I made apart from going on heroin was going on the needle when we're lucky really to have smoking heroin.

There have been odd bits of good shit but so incredibly sparse I for one am not the only one who just cannot be bothered may as well buy a carrier bag full of cream eggs and be sick as a tiny bit of brown. I mean what do you get for a score. Half a gram of crap? Or less than that for something half decent. It's all a big waste of time. I have a score right here that's eating away at me to use but I don't know who to ring and I'm fed up of wasting my time with this shit.

Sorry I can't say anything more positive.

drought update- East London

Well everyone, it appears that I spoke a BIT too soon!! Today, got 2 calls from the 2 main peeps I deal with, saying the pre-drought proper 10/10 is BACK. So, I went and bought some, and yes, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to say, that it is HERE. The taste, I'd forgotten truly what real H tasted like...but, oh how wonderfully I was reminded a little while ago!! So strong, I put just a tiny bit down and it is fantastic. Price isn't too bad, not as much as I thought it might be!!

Just thought I'd let ya'll know, cause if its in E. London, that's a good sign!! ;-)

Take care every1 and be safe!

10 arrests over three East Lancashire 'heroin' deaths

THREE men found dead in separate towns in just one hour may have taken the same super-strength batch of heroin, according to police.

The bodies of Robin Ferguson, 53, Emlyn Hodgkinson, 36 and Zaheer Chaudhry, 32, were discovered at houses in Burnley, Colne and Nelson respectively on Friday night.

Detectives fear the Class A drug, which caused the men to overdose, may have come from the same batch with a particularly high-level of purity.

Following the deaths, officers swooped on suspected heroin dealers, making 10 arrests for alleged drugs supply offences.

The six women and four men held were aged between 29 and 51 and from Burnley, Brierfield, Colne, Nelson and Accrington. All have been bailed until May 27.

Police found the body of Mr Ferguson after being called by the ambulance service to a house in Tennis Street, Daneshouse, Burnley, at 11.15pm on Friday.

Around 15 minutes later, just after 11.30pm, they were called to a property in Oak Street, Horsfield, Colne, where they discovered Mr Hodgkinson’s body.

Mr Chaudrey’s body was found at a house in Eagle Street, Bradley, Nelson, at around 12.15am.

Although the deaths are being treated as unexplained at this stage, they are believed to be drugs-related.

They are urging heroin users across East Lancashire to be wary of a potentially-fatal batch of the drug.

Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Dixon, of Burnley CID, said: "It is too early to say whether the cause of the deaths are connected, but we are concerned that there could be a particularly strong batch of heroin in the area.

“I would urge anyone who uses heroin and who may be concerned to contact their local healthcare provider.

“There is nothing to suggest, from our investigation at this time, that the drug had been contaminated by any other substance.

“From the work we have done we think it is likely to be from a stronger batch, with a higher level of purity, rather than it having been mixed with something poisonous.

"We have circulated a warning to our partners in the healthcare agencies and those that offer support to drug-users."

I have been scoring everyday, i am getting quite good H that gives a decent wack when digging say even .2s (10er) but i was digging .5s (25) and what a dunt i was getting i was only putting the plunger a quarter of the way in my eyes pinned to literally nothing and i could feel the rush,taste,warmness going up my spine and all over my head and to be honest i had a bit of panic (thought id got a hot dose) but i was in safe company so i finished my dig and i was smashed, like pissed as a fart. My pals who had necked a few blues where lying slouched, crashed out and totally gone with the wind but due to my tolerance from being on the green handcuffs i tend not to get as wasted as others.
I have changed to smoking it and i am enjoying it better, no creepy diseases to worry about or abscesses anymore, the gear looks crap but is actually in my 14 odd years of H addiction not bad at all for being the worst dry up "ever", it does have an orange look,that sort of waxy look though not sticky shit, for maybe 3 lines out of a score deal (.4) the bash is all but gone. But that aside its quite strong, my pal a 20 year veteran of brown fell asleep standing up after having a dig in his leg mumbling and laughing to himself after i woke him up and got him to plant his arse on the couch, i fell asleep to wake up on this laptop with a big dent on my forehead that was agony for days. The crap mixed through it i blame on the "young gangsters" having access to it and not knowing what to mix it with. It is still quite bad here (Springburn,Possilpark,Milton,Barmulloch,Balornock Bishopbriggs etc but the guy i see has had it every day for 3 moons and a lot longer, it did dip to that coca cola colored gear in the tools but back to brown. So stay safe, always burn a few lines on the foil to at least test the strength etc. Hopefully it gets back to normal for all and that where i can also score locally as opposed to going to the Sticks everyday.

this drought has been bizare, ive heard of scousers turning up in the midlands looking for gear...and while down south things seem to be back on track im still struggling in nottinghamshire..once i saw a guy on my way to score, and he said that the dealer i was off to see had the most amazing shit, when i got it back and smoked a bit, it tasted like fish, felt a bit like ketamine, and saw me passed out for a good few hours. is that rohypnol? i felt awful the next day.
a lot of people have turned to white, i got some the other day and i didnt even feel like finishing it (!!!!!when does that happen????) cos i knew there was no dark to come down with.
soooo sad!but i get down south east when i can.

The arse wholes are cutting gear with SUBBIES and I have physical proof of illness of this over a period of time. Suffering chest pains, Anxiety, generally un-well vomiting heavilly and shitting out of the eye of a needle.I dunno why they are doing this , and I can't afford it to happen to me no more, its doing my head in. I can only take Mathadone and the mixture with SUBBIES isn't good, been smoking over 15 yrs now, and I remember the gear of the 90's when U put the rock on the foil and U could run the rock of H, before it melted into a beetle, that must have been the Burmese. At the time then thank god there weren't as many Subbies about, why can't they just mix it with anything but Subbie, even my urine tests come up with a faint line of subbies, this is nothing but greedyness, the bastards,.

Well I say it again, I'm pist off I find it hard to raise the money for a score and when all I can get is 10, and knowing its fucking cut with some Opiate antagonist, Its like shooting myself in the foot and spending a tenner just to feel the fooking pain, unless however I can raise an exctra fiver, then am laughin.I just pray to god the guy who Ive been scoring off the past 2 weeks now, doesn't fall into this game, his gear has got more potent, and whatever its cut with isn't toxic as far as I know it, it has a sweet taste which always points to Benzo's,and a bit like a sweet chocolate taste some high fibre shite slimming powder o, or some kind but its SAFE.For as long as I have been back with him, my chest pains have eased off except for Sunday when I decided to risk it, and score from the other ideot who bashes some more with Subbies, or something that doesn't agree, hell I have been smoking neons, of years and am just happy now to have an ok safe smoke without getting fucking seroiusly ill several hrs after, that is when I can afford to and now its NEARLY wednesday with the exact same bullshit, chest pains etc.But I know they will pass, so my biggest worry is finding the money to score, I dont graft never have done thats a big no no for me, cos some other cunt gets the back of it and its not my way, instead I just fucking rob, and rape my own arse, hell its my choice as though its something I enjoy doing, anyway payday , Monday and guess what gonna happen then,??? have a guess, till then tarrah peep'sb take care , any cloudyness in that so called sticky toffee beetle fucking chuck it , a dusty, cloudy look is never a good sign , till then see yas.

I would like for you to take up the issue of Heroin addiction and the treatments available in the UK. I am reading internet forums online and the general consensus is that some addicts cannot get clean and need to use, They would be more than happy to work full time and pay for Diamorphin out of there wages.

There is all sorts of perks, cleaner drugs, you know its safe, help's take working girls off the streets and the big gangs would no-longer have the money to fund crime as addicts would no-longer need to buy drugs off them.

I have being an addict for 10 years and would love to work but keep coming up against an age old problem of Methadone. Methadone is bad for the body, It gets right in to the bones, breaks and erodes teeth and is not for everyone, but we don't get a choice because no-one speaks up, we just have to take it.
Methadone is seen as a maintained treatment nut does not work for everyone that uses it. It is the general feeling that addicts cannot be prescribed Diamorphin until they have tried and failed on all treatment, being into prison a few times then having a near death experience before a Dr will prescribe Diamorphin.

So you could say Under current guidelines, Tony (a user) will have to screw up pretty spectacularly on all other treatment options to be considered. A couple of failed rehabs, a stretch inside, a near-death hopsitalisation and a proximity to pension age seem to be minimum requirements nowadays. Isn't it about time someone took a good look at the present arrangements? Save everyone a lot of time?

Is it correct to think that if a Heroin addict was prescribed Diamorphin that this person would be able to stay in full time employment and not have to spend money on Heroin that the dealer uses for crime sometime down the line? I belive that if an addict was prescribed threw a Dr then the addict can pay some of his/her wage towards there prescription?

It is the fact that the normal consensus is that drugs should be sort of legalised under regulation. If you take a look at the following statement and the link you will see that there is a hell of allot of people re-writing the Drug policy, and in this people are getting together to find a way to "classify" the system.

STATEMENT OF DRUG CLASS.
Regulate drug sales to a scale of harm and place all drugs on the act list (that includes alcohol and such ), put age limits in place , tax and remove the market from the "Mr big " criminals , separate the sale of soft and hard drugs to remove the dealers gateway effect and concentrate on weaning those off of hard drugs at their pace with guidance ,invest the tax on education , health and policing ! its very simple and proven to work unlike prohibition that costs £110 billion a year with a 1% success rate and uses its own side effects to implement more prohibition like the con man paradox it is!

yes lets remove drugs from the hands of children and criminal control and lets not give the addicts of now, reasons to commit crimes to fund their habit because they have no help and lets remove all future addicts from criminal control , turning off the flow of all future addicts to a drip . you see a regulated system will do more to reduce drug related harm than prohibition ever could for less, in a fraction of the time , even paying for its own success if managed in the right harm reduction way ,
so if we spend £110 billion a year on a system of regulation based on a scale of harm , where's the evidence saying it wont work ,as there is plenty of evidence showing prohibition has never worked in the last 40 years , it looks to me like this money that's not getting the job done is funding these con men and promoting more prohibition and they will do what ever they can to keep it that way (easy money) , considering they have the marketing lobby power and money to do so too.

as the police cuts come into play this is going to be a green light to that type of criminals that will sell to kids ,it is extremely frustrating , even more so when the so called government experts are almost all selected yes men and have no clue of the what they are talking about when it comes to cutting drug related harm , is it no wonder they refuse to take part in any public debate , but they will soon tell us what we the "public wants" , poring good money into an already failed program is an ideal way to launder tax me thinks!

I have ruined much of my adult life due to the fact that strong drug were not infact regulated.

I have the feeling that things aint going to stop her, I can see people protesting in London sometime this year as I feel that we are not being listerned to as a nation.
We definatly are in the best time for a drug re-form and I think it would just take the "guts" of one person to say that and so many people would be behind him/her, and that is the Governing Minister.

Now as you may know the country is just coming out of the Heroin drought/blight and there have been three deaths within just one hour. My feeling is that there will be more before things change. When the stronger Heroin gets into the UK, there will be more and more deaths(OD)and because its not bash (diluted Heroin) the next generation of users will become addicted by drug pushers so that the dealers can maintain their profits as the "old users" have got clean and not wanted to buy "bashed up gear" which has undoubtedly has took lives.

Thankyou for taking the time to read this letter and I do hope that while we have these problems with Libya that we can use this to our advantage and start to look at other treatment methods-keeping our own money in our own country. This just makes a whole lot of sence and we should now be revising what we can do to inprove the situation and deal with the on-going issue of "Harm reduction".

Hi there Gled's & whoever else is listening. Not sure if this is the right place but seems like where I'm most likely to get an answer.Been gettin the same shite as everyone for months. Just enough 'H' in it to stave off the sickness & give u a faint glow depending on the amount.All this changed a little over a week ago when what looks like 'pharmie' gear turned up out o the blue. Getting to the point; It's pure white, needs no citric & can't be smoked! We split 0.1 between 3 of us & were blootered. Being greedy I sneeked 0.05 to myself & ended up with a burn on my leg (From heater) was spewing for hours like when first started & when I finaly got it together to look in the mirror. Both eyes were lookin in opposite directions ;-) We're gettin oz's little bit dearer than pre drought but who's complaining. Just seems crazy to be gettin quantity of this,when way way back in the day all u got was whatever someone sold from a chemist that had been robbed. Not No4/China White.Is it Diamorphine Hydrochloride?Or is it some kind of other pharmicutical grade opiate?

Gledwood said...

You lucky bastard yeah it sounds like you have number four heroin, H4, heroin hyrdochloride, Thai White, China White whatever you want to call it. In about 12 years I've only had 2 batches of white heroin that cooked up without citric (and hasn't been pre-acidified; I tasted them to make sure).

Batch one looked almost identical to talc, it was powder, stark white, v fluffy and snorted like a dream. Someone had mixed mannitol or something in with it so on foil it ran literally like a drop of water (same colour as tap water) but wouldn't smoke it just ran and ran so whatever cut, mannitol or caffeine it was a waste of time. I was into smoking then so I HAD to snort this gear. My friend made a hit out of it and it looked just like tapwater. She said it was A grade China White.

The other batch came in late summer 2008 I thought I had been knocked as it looked JUST like crack (good crack from the "olden days) remember the golden stuff we used to get? Well this had a slight golden tinge and looked JUST like crack it must have been 90-something percent purity it blew the liing shit out of me I did ONE point in a vein and was slumped over the sink not knowing where I was, what day it was, what I was doing, totally fucked like I hadn't been in a LONG long time. This stuff smelled of vinegar. I checked with someone in Australia where China White is the normal gear and he said yeah it smells of vinegar (nothing at all like "B"). This was REALLY hard, nearly broke my thumb nail splitting the rock in half, it took some cooking to break down not because it was bashed or crap just so very very rock hard and looked like weak piss in the works. I'd estimate (purely on intuition) it was something like 95% pure I mean seriously this shit was CRYSTALLINE I have never ever seen translucent gear ever I so wish I could have got a regular supply but this bastard only had it for a few days. I kept asking for it back and he was like yeah yeah. A stupid kid who didn't know his heroin arse from his crack elbow you know the type.

I knew someone on a diamorph script. I wouldn't have believed him if I hadn't seen the amps myself. His were 30mg (you also get 100mg ones) but they were cutting him down. He said if you break the amp open and wrap the pharmy gear in paper it literally sinks in, so this is how you would know pharmaceutical gear it's really really delicate and sinks into paper whereas high grade H4 won't. Also pharmy gear, so I hear, is 100% artificial, has never seen a poppy in its life.

You put me in heroin heaven just thinking about this shit I ADORED "China White" as I called it (the name was a point of contention among my friends who said it was from Thailand and I said "no it's from Burma" blah blah blah the fascinating conversations you have when high... haha

if you get that back it goes without saying take EXTRME CARE it's not worth dying trying to get high

good on ya for finding such great gear, here's to being lucky again mate ;-)

ps i was called a drug snob over my H4 preference and I admit I only ever had it twice (2 batches) in just over 10 years but it's what I loved, not snobbery just what, as a junkie, I genuinely loved

i always found lighter gear tended to have a better slam when IVd whereas darker gear was more of a creeper (but much gauwchier) I didn't know other people did this but mixing dark and light gear (tar and H4) in America is called an Oreo and I did a few myself with dark hash-looking stuff and white heroin base H3 which was really whooshy almost like IV coke it slammed so hard... o boy those were the days

being as I'm (mostly) off heroin now and am supposed to be all responsible I'll reiterate BE CAREFUL PLEASE injecting high grade shit and watch your friends, if they gauwch check they're answering i know this sounds saddo but better to be sad than watch your friend OD OK sermon over and again congratulations on finding Ambrosia, the Heroin of the Gods!

3 months now on subutex but here in east kilbride there was some grey gear, i had this once years ago and it was the bomb, couldnt even finish a bag, had to appear when useless to me but different sources are appearing.

Mattyorks said...

Seems like this blog has died gledwood. Could you poosbley make your self available two weeks before the Government ministers break up for summer. As you know I have been comprising letters for the MP's and have just again finished typing another that is in-line with current policy but finding the bits that just don't seem to be the truth. I would like to know how many peoples would be up for a polite picket and protest in London two weeks before they break up for summer.

Please make yourselfs known so I have the will to carry on doing what I am doing.

I do hope that your OK. Hows things where you are?

I know that here the gear is still rank and bashed up. I heard it is still carrying on due to the market in Russia being more lucrative for the Afghans there than it is here.

Gledwood said...

I'm OK only news I know of is that there's more normal stuff than there used to be but still loads of crap.

But the amount of normal has gone up a lot it threw me unconscious the other day but it still doesn't hit the spot and that was heroin not benzo-heroin. It just doesn't do it for me just doesn't hit the spot it used to no matter how good it is.

I do post today y'know you just put http://gledwood2.blogspot.com and you get the most recent bullshit I have written it's all there.

I hope everyone is OK. Probably the no of comments has gone down because the gear has gone back up people feeling less desperate.

Also a lot of oldtimers just stopped. The normal is probably at the lower end of normal IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD but feels good to us bc we're used to methadone or crap.

That's probably the truth.

Hi all First post here as since the end of November the situation where I am has gone from bad to worse to bangin, or so all these people on 120 ml of green who could pull fresh air through the toot and swear to you its the best shit they ever had would have me believe, to shite again and then back to utter shite. There has just been in the past few weeks a glimmer of hope tho, as one person I see has managed to come up with something decent, not amazing but it does what its supposed to so i'm happy at last, they are traveling for it tho, but its been steady for three weeks or so now, so fingers crossed it stays that way, I'm in a small town in Leicestershire by the way. Any way hope your all well, its been a bitch aint it, but heres hoping its slowly comin right.

Hey,

Just want to make a MAJOR POINT TO THOSE WRITING TO, OR INTENDING ON WRITING TO THEIR LOCAL MP'S etc. SUGGESTING A DIFFERENT SYSTEM:

1) Spell check, spell check and spell check again, and when you've done that, read through it all several times to make sure it sounds fluid and professional - So they can't just dismiss it as the ramblings of a junkie!


2) Do a little bit of research on the interenet as to how to address who it is your writing to, whether it's Dear MP for York, or Yours Sincerely/Truthfully etc....
These may seem like minor anal things I know - and they are, but unfortunately, in order to be taken seriously these hoops have to be jumped through, otherwise you may aswell forget the whole letter.

3) Never get overally passionate - as in, don't let yourself slip into a rant at your MP - it's surprisingly easily done - this is where spell checking and re-reading in particular come in handy!

4) Throughout your letter, from start to the very end, be polite and respectful - that's the only way you'll be taken seriously.

5) Finally, try and put some NON-ANECDOTAL (i.e. - NOT 'my mate paul did so and so cos he cudn't get a diamorphine script'.
Instead, try and refer to actual studies and facts - like the RIOTT trial in the UK, aswell as trials in Switzerland/Sweden/Northern Europe...
The RIOTT trials would be especially good to highlight, as they're going on in Britain now, and there have already been extensive studies carried out on the clients - all showing a massive drop in street heroin use, aswell as a considerable drop in heroin use overall - along with a dramatic drop in acquisitional crime, and a huge improvement in the general health and well-being - AND SUBSEQUENTLY THEIR ABILITY TO GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY.

Follow these steps and the chances are youre letter will be read, and not tossed in the bin.

Just remember - be respectful throughout, spellcheck and spellcheck again, and read through it before sending, just to make sure you yourself are proud of what you've written, and the message you're trying to get across.


'Cos trust me, if you don't follow those rules, most officials will barely get past the first sentence before chucking it in the bin - sad but true.

So beat them at their own game.....

Mickeybee
p.s.- I haven't spell checked this, cos I'm among friends and not writin to an MP!
Hope ur all doin ok tho. :)

we're getting what looks to all intents & purposes to be No 4 although it's got progressivly weeker & is now on a par with the rest of the shite.Boys gone back to wherever he came from so no more bigger bits. You don't need citric & it cant be smoked but the strange thing is you dont get a 'Hit or flash' from it? When it was strong when it 1st arived I tried moderating the amount i jagged by just squirting 1/4-1/2 the shot the waiting. Nothing seemed to happen so pluged the rest in & then WHAP u were a nodding,droolin fool. It's obviously an opiate (Hydrochloride) but might it be a 'Synthetic' opioid rather than No4? It would seem more likely. Anyway great site,thats why I thought of asking here. Ps What about those North Koreans? Come on you K.J.I.

Preggas anon,
hi gledwood long time bo comment!!I just wAnted to tell you that 3 wks ago I had my baby.a 6lb 15oz baby boy.so far so good and although I didn't manage to get off the meth(I was down to 29ml) he has showed no signs of withdrawal.of course this can occur up to 3 wks after birth so just keeping my fingers crossed that he stays as he is.
I had c section and was given diamorphine & morphine for pain releif so that was a big treat after all this time but when in rhat much pain opiates only take the pain away and don't give u a buzz.

typing error I was down to 20ml at delivery and on researching I found meth in later pregnancy acts completly different for instance it has shorter effect in body and is expelled far quicker which is why doctors almost double the dose if u are scripted in pregnancy(I wasn't).a high number of pregnant women on script at 25ml and Under tested NEGATIVE for opiates at time of delivery as it's strenght is greatly reduced.this e plains why I felt like crap a lot of the time as I wS constanly battling to get of f the meth and reduce loads.
Can someone tell me what is a sensible reduction plan,is it best to go down by 1-2ml a wk or drop 5 every ten days??what's the softest way.I ask this as I have 4 kids to look after.going to bed and sleeping through it is not an option.;
thanks

Mummy anon,
I wish u wud update as I wanna know yr still out there??
Does anyone know the safe dose to reduce meth by?I'm currently on 25ml and wanna slowly reduce down mainly because I can only get med via partner who is controlling enough anyhow and I don't like being beholden to him,as I hated being beholden to some upstart faux gansters who sell shit gear.my life needs to get tidied up and getting clean is m main goal,it's not like iv gone off the buzz of opiates more like the buzz has gone and god knows what is out there right now but it ain't good gear I don't it's even gear ,heard of loads of junkies testing negative even though they r still using what they think is gear.
Will it ever go back to pre drought standards??I guess not coz let's face it if these slag dealers can sell crap small bags of crap gear rhink of the profit margin there!they r not gonna chNge that r they??and let's face it junkies aren't gonna boycott it to protest because it's not possible with addiction.even though yr 99% sure it's shit u r still gonna try it coz the addict part of u says 'it cud be good'yeah right like saying 'it cud b u'who wins the lottery.nope there fuck all worth walking 5 minutes for,m partner is spending shit loads of money chasing after it excuse the pun but I won't give these guys the satisfaction or a penny of my money.I figure if abstain till it's good again knowing the wait I will b well and truely clean by then!!

re:mummy anon
Congrats on the safe delivery of your little boy!nice to know you both well and it sounds like you determined to stop so good luck to you.i have kids to so i know the score..i came off methadone by switching to subutex,is there any way you can buy up a load cos its so much easier.Doctors will switch you over to subutex once your down to 20 mls meth but not sure of dosage.I know what you mean about not feeling the gear,wot the fuck is it?it pins your eyes but is so weak..good for you for being strong,don't hate yourself xxx

So can someone pls tell me bit more about the switch over coz I'm sure I can buy subutex off someone.what dose do I need?how many?how do I cut down off these??

Hi Mummy Anon

CONGRATULATIONS on your little bundle of gurgling, screaming joy!

I missed you, I'm glad you sound OK.

I've been through the mill a bit what with mania and depression I got diagnosed with a type of bipolar. I'm back using gear several times a week basically as an antidepressant. I know that's no excuse and I'm tired of it. When I was all hyped up and manic I was anti-drugs like you wouldn't believe, now I'm low again gear seems the only way out. Depressing, huh?

I did try and email you it was a short email saying get back to me I hadn't spoken to you in a while and wanted to be 100% sure it was YOUR email I was sending it to before I said very much.

I know you had email problems you can always get in touch with me via the comments. Best way is to comment under my most recent post. You get to the top of my blog by putting http://gledwood2.blogspot.com into the top thingie then you'll get to today. Don't worry about having to mention whatever boring crap I put in the ost, just leave your message and I'll reply there and then under that comment.

Get in touch soon

SUBUTEX:~~~~~~~

I read all the comments that come here and will get back soon. But re subutex they say you need to be on 30mg methadone max, the lower the better, and the clinics will insist you do 48 hours from the last dose of juice before they dose you on subutex or suboxone (same shit, slightly different formulation). When I went on it I was (if I remember correctly) to take 4mg subutex the first day, then 8mg after that. Then the dose went up to 10mg. Some people get prescribed 20mg, 30mg even but that's between you and the clinic.

You need to listen very carefully to what they say as taking subutex with recent methadone in the system can bring on withdrawals. Taking more subutex than prescribed on day one isn't meant to make you feel any better either, you just have to ride out the shit feelings for 2 to 3 days, then you feel perfect. Subutex does make you feel WAY more wide awake than methadone, it also makes you feel "clean" in a way methadone does not. It's a fantastic treatment, but you really have to be ready to kick heroin for good, otherwise a life on subutex with using on top can be very miserable. Unlike methadone the subutex won't hold you properly if you keep chopping and changing between that and gear, so as I say you really have to be committed.

I'll get back to y'all later, take care everyone.

hi gledwood it was really nice to see u on here again.always lifts my spirits to chat with u.
I'm sorry that yr depression has come back,i too use to self medicate with heroin all the time telling myself it was no different than the millions of people on anti depressants.but ya know it has a shelf life of working this way & it soon becomes one of the demons u r running away from but at least u can go through spells of time withit so dispite what u think u sound very strong minded.do u drink alcohol?I found that to be the very worse & really is a depressant.
Iive in Essex & the gear is crap here.orange and doesn't leave much of a trace on the foil but
in a way that's better coz if it was great I'm sure I wud not have the saame motivation to quit.
Thanks for the advice on subutex,after Reading I knowni cud not make the switch as u have to go without meth for few days and with children to look after I don't feel I cud risk getting sick and not being on top form for them.kind if like catch 22 situation.I have to set up new email wen I have one will send u it.ok gotta go got new baby and toddler in my bed & need sleep.must say I missed u & u often crossed my mind XX

i have been following this blog for time, during the start of the drought till now, ive spent thousands and gouged prob 3 times max, had one suprise in holloway and cleaned hnim out thed next day, then other time i gouged for hours from one ten pound joey, there are certain shottas i just dont buy b from cos i know they never have anyfing good, the drought made me use more crack and more benzoes, not good, islington u can get the odd bag here and there but its a chore, ive taken it upon myself to go to my parents in surrey to get off my meth habit and gear habit and swap it for subbies, i was too high up on meth to do it, so i just bought say 2 ten pound bags round here , wich are a point for a tenner, it made the transition to subbies much easier, i got the meth out my system and felt great for a couple days, then metg a mate i knew was useing, and tholught, maybe the gear will be good, as i did evry day for the last 5 months, total shit, wish i had of spent it on weed, at least i would get high, going back to izzy town on tues and am already thinking who would have something good, trouble is, u really need to spend about 80 quid to get anything near high, that dont leave much left of me giro, fucking hell will this lifestyle ever change,, islington mans, (rob...) whats the b been like? nuff heads i knew who i thought would be on it till death are sticking to there scripts, aint even buying on dole day, things must be bad

last night I was on a Manic downer,I have these moments due to being post natal and on shitty methadone.
Basicly life is better w/o opiates & I'm stuggling to gain that sobriety again.I figure I need 14 days away from the partner who shows no signs of quitting,something to replace the time I spent waiting for gear or smoking it,a decent diet & the ability/motovation to do some exercize.I fear the exerciE element is gonna b tough while trying to stop the green so will play that by ear.
Every time iv tried to get away something prevents me ,one time I car stooped working,another time one of the kids was sick,another time where I was gonna stay fell through.the list continues so u see it isn't easy with 4 kids In toe.if asked him to go countless

plus he's got me really

he says if I throw his stuff out he will tell socail services I'm using and coz methadone will show up in any kind of test I'm not sure I wanna take that risk.

Here's an idea to bounce round yer noggin.,,,,

Now, we all know how the US govt have been dealing gear since the 1950's, [and if you don't know that, its high time you educated yourself: do a search for CIA + drug trafficking, or buy a copy of Alfred McCoy's The Politics of Heroin, CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade]. Well, if the Yanks been doing the naughty behind everyone's backs, you can bet to fuck our governments have been doing the same for just as long.

Does anyone recall how sometime ago David Cameron said he had a "close relative who was a heroin addict". Well, what if old DC has decided to do the moral thing, and shut down any secret pacts we had with this or that Afghan tribal leader, allowing them an open door to bring in the gear in return for their loyalty in the war in Afghan, [that's how the CIA do it, they don't handle the gear themselves, instead they hold the door open for whatever group they want to support. Last time they directly handled the gear themselves, they got their finger's burned - search up CIA Contra + Gary Webb].


Hmm, sounds very possible to me. Cameron's got the morals on dodgy deals with Afghan heroin warlords. Cos' its well past the time that this drought should have resolved itself if the cause was that fungus, [anyway, in Afghan they have tonnes of opium stockpiled, apparently it acts like an unofficial form of currency in some areas of the country]. There's been at least one, if not two, harvests since then, and quality is still fucked.

some days r better than others & today I'm not all doom n gloomim just another junkie desprate to get clean but lacking the ommmp to say no,it really is as simple as that ain't it??I love life and simple things,sunshine,my kids laughing,spending time wiv friends looking for the pair of shoes that r gonna change yr life,walking along the beach just going nowhere &enjoying it.but my life is a mix of
sitting in crammed bathroom,fishing around for bits of left over foil,moaning that the Flint has gone & chuffing away on what is probably a mix of paracetamol & vilolin wax wiv a dash of gear for bad measure.then scrubbing my teeth whilst looking in the mirror complaining my skin ain't what it was,or complaining to myself about the state of my hair.
Tomorrow I shall try hard to abstain,I will keep busy,go out the house,maybe read a little,try to vist straight friends ...if only just for a day.

Gledwood said...

Mummy Anon: I did yesterday and today with nothing it's now 11:30pm.

On Friday I got a beautiful high from gear I got round the corner. But I don't really like any of the dealers round here, don't want to be beholden to them, don't trust them. Don't trust anyone. Can't be bothered anymore.

I have this theory that gear does make you feel far better in depression but it also keeps the depression going.

Someone told me you need to give it 2 weeks on straight methadone to be level, only I never get level. My mood is more wobbly off gear and on methadone, it would probably be even wobblier on nothing at all, if I somehow detoxed. But on gear I just stayed stuck in misery for ages, relying on more gear to dig me out. And the misery continued for months going into years, fluctuating but never truly going away. Except on really good gear.

Ain't life wonderful!

Gledwood said...

Anon: as far as I know the major harvest is between now and late May. I googled again and again for any info on how big it would be and only got one link saying they've planted even more this year since the price of opium trebled last year.

Colombia supposedly has 3 opium harvests a year. They grow it higher up the mountains than coca, so there's never any conflict between the 2 crops. Also it's harder and more dangerous to spray opium seeing as it's on steep hillsides the plane could crash into. Colombia is much nearer the equator than Afghanistan so maybe that would explain 3 harvests. It could also be a journalist not knowing what the hell they're talking about.

As far as SE Asia goes there's some link between communists and anticommunists and poppy growing.

Eg the areas of Burma which produced the most opium were controlled by the Kuomintang who were the side who lost in the Chinese civil war, when the communists got in.

The chief general in Laos was said to be a major heroin producer, who controlled the labs where Double UO Globe brand was made. To this day that packaging or copies of it, is supposedly used on bricks of high grade SE Asian gear.

Yes whenever America has come into a politically unstable area drugs production has mysteriously dramatically increased! And this goes back to the 1960s if not before!!

So much for their precious "war on drugs!!"

Gleds,
Been a while, sorry I have been out of touch, I know you know how it is...you wanted to know about Trisch, I spoke to her son (who's now 14) and he's hanging in there...no one knows 'for sure', but she passed from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning....she evidently 'fell asleep' in her car with it still on and parked in the garage. No one knows if it was intentional, supposed to be accidental though. So sad, she seems so alive still, doesn't she? Hard to believe she's gone :-)

Anyways, Gear situation in East Lon is bad again...it was good for a while, well, as good as it can get for this drought, but now, the 2 MAIN people have switched their phones off, so basically there's no hope.

I hope you're doing ok, and please respond when you get a chance.
Take care of yourself, look forward to hearing from you. (I have ur email, my email I put in the URL bit, so check it there :-)

Gledwood said...

How on earth did you get in touch with Trisch's son??

Considering how manic she was in that video, which I eventually trawled the comments under. I had a feeling she was partially letting off steam there knowing she was going to have to work etc and she said she was going on a road trip later that day and that makes sense... lots of people didn't believe she was for real I'm talking about "trisch goes nuts" video. I think its very hard to act mania. Nothing I've seen on TV has ever looked very convincing because they never look wiry enough... anyway point being almost everyone who gets manic like that gets pretty depressed so it would be a strange coincidence that she gassed herself it looks very much like suicide.

My #1 dealer is off too. Has been off for about a week now.

I was reduced to getting someone else to score for me and his #1 dealer sold shite when he eventually came round. I scored myself on Friday and it was fine but I still have to use x2 as much as I used to which isn't very good considering how little I use nowadays I'm going to have less tolerance.

So I can't be bothered with it. Also I have this theory about gear perpetuating depression even though it makes depression feel way better. That would explain why I suddenly have gone hyper more than once on ceasing gear even though I was on methadone which holds me. As we all know they only give methadone because it's crap.

OK I'm checking my email ... soon it's 5:30 I really should sleep now. God knows if I actually will sleep..!!

I've told you all before, write to your MP's if you would like a better treatment option. One that can run along side Methadone and Subutex.

They do get back to you but if you are gonna write just put some fact's in about drug treatment and where things can be improved.

I am asking for Diamorphine as it is way cheaper in powder and cheaper than the amp's an Methadone.

I want to come off Methadone, so am asking why there is currently 342 addicts being prescribed currently in the UK, so what criteria did they have to meet to get it?

I want off Methadone, but the rattle is far far worse that Heroin, so am asking why I would have to pay a Dr for the consultation to get it when my local dsp could write up a script. Swap to Diamorphine for three weeks, then do a normal rattle, as Methadone would mare or less be out of the body.

Hello. I've meant to post a quick note thanking you for this site. It was an excellent source of info throughout that horrific drought. Saved me a lot of wasted cash. Worst one there's ever been, 8 years taking this stuff, never experienced anything like it. Anyway, at least it's had the positive effect of reducing my habit, no longer buying eighths, just bags and the occasional stone...sticking to script more often than not. Running out of veins anyway... Well, "ran out" would be a more correct description, more often than not end up with swollen hands and wasted hits, desperately trying with the aid of water, citric, luck to turn that congealed lump of shite in a pin into a workable hit again...

Still find myself sat here waiting on a phonecall, however. I wonder how much it would add up to, all that time spent waiting for guys with acronymous names to call back? I digress.

Stick at it matey, we'll get there in the end.

Thanks again,

is meth really a far worse rattle than gear or is it just coz it goes on longer?
The reason I ask is that I wanna know whether to subsitute the meth with gear mind u jugding by what I smoked today that wouldn't hold a nat,
I have read that if u reduce super slow like 2 ml every 10 dYs u don't feel so might just try that.the mental cravings for gear are getting weaker and I rhink that's because the gear itsself is so weak.I think ur surroundding and state of mind r keys to success,changing yr outlook an day to day activities really hps so here's hoping!!!!

Ok,so tonite's evening standard announces that the poppy harvest is now in and its a bumper crop.....why are they telling us this?ok so i may not get the politics but what i do get is that the drought hit us about the same time as power in uk changed hands(the joke of an election we witnessed).Maybe a deal's been done "behind the scenes" and we can finally look forward to a decent supply...or not?!All hail discordia!

As Osama bin has been dead now them surly we can get the illegal market shut down if it was behimd our backs' and shut doors.

If more people make the time to write or re-write to their MP's then this movement would go a-head.
It seems to me that the gear is still bas=h and really this is only gonna give the dealers money for selling crap!

Well I say "stand-up" and be counted.

Came across an interesting, and totally feasible, explanation for the drought we have been suffering from horribly for so many months.

Apparently the wankstains in the UN Office for Drugs and Crime have seriously stepped up efforts to prevent the import of acetic anhydride into Afghanistan. Since Afghanistan has no industrial base, there is no legitimate use, [apart from making herointhat is, which to my mind is perfectly legitimate, but apparently not to the fucking buzzkill bureaucratsat the UN], for AA inside Afghan, which has made interception fairly easy.


As everyone, including the drug warriors, know, the heroin trade does what they call the "balloon effect". Cracking down on it is like squeezing a balloon. Crack down on the Golden Triangle and production shifts to Pakistan, crack down in Pak & it moves to Afghanistan, and now that they might be making life hard for the Afghan heroin producers, production is supposedly shifting to India.

Makes sense. India has a huge area of land with very little to zero police control, a huge population of rural poor, plus an industrialised economy where the manufacture and use of acetic anhydride is both widespread and routine...

If you want to read the article its here
http://www.talkingdrugs.org/the-indian-heroin-mystery

Otherwise sit back & wait for supplies of Hindustan's famous "brown sugar" to arrive.

Gledwood you need to read these articles about a homemade heroin substitute - Desomorphine - destroying (quite literally) users in Russia.

Christiane F

"Wir, Kinder vom Bahnhoff Zoo" by "Christiane F", memoir of a teenage heroin addict and prostitute, was a massive bestseller in Europe and is now a set text in German schools. Bahnhoff Zoo was, until recently, Berlin's central railway station. A kind of equivalent (in more ways than one) to London's King's Cross... Of course my local library doesn't have it. So I'm going to have to order it through a bookshop and plough through the text in German. I asked my druggieworker Maple Syrup, who is Italiana how she learned English and she said reading books is the best way. CHRISTIANE F: TRAILER You can watch the entire 120-min movie in 12 parts at my Random blog. Every section EXCEPT part one is subtitled in English (sorry: but if you skip past you still get the gist) ~ to watch it all click HERE.

DID you find my blog via a Google or other search? Are you stuck on a post dated some time ago? Do you want to read Gledwood Volume 2 right from "the top" ~ ie from today?
If so click here and you'll get to the most recent post immediately!

Drugs Videos

Most of these come from my Random blog, which is an electronic scrapbook of stuff I thought I might like to view at some time or other. For those who want to view stuff on drugs I've collected the very best links here. Unless otherwise stated these are full-length features, usually an hour or more.

If you have a slow connexion and are unused to viewing multiscreen films on Youtube here's what to do: click the first one and play on mute, stopping and starting as it does. Then, when it's done, click on Repeat Play and you get the full entertainment without interruption. While you watch screen one, do the same to screens 2, 3 and so on. So as each bit finishes, the next part's ready and waiting.

Mexican Black Tar Heroin: "Dark End"

Khun Sa, whose name meant Prince Prosperous, had been, before his death in the mid 2000s, the world's biggest dealer in China White Heroin: "Lord of the Golden Triangle"

In-depth portrait of the Afghan heroin trade at its very height. Includes heroin-lab bust. "Afghanistan's Fateful Harvest"

Classic miniseries whose title became a catchphrase for the misery of life in East Asian prison. Nicole Kidman plays a privileged middle-class girl set up to mule heroin through Thai customs with the inevitable consequences. This is so long it had to be posted in two parts. "Bangkok Hilton 1" (first 2 hours or so); "Bangkok Hilton 2" (last couple of hours).

Short film: from tapwater-clear H4 in the USA to murky black Afghan brown in Norway: "Heroin Addicts Speak"

Before his untimely death this guy kept a video diary. Here's the hour-long highlights as broadcast on BBC TV: "Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict". Thanks to Noah for the original link.

Some of the most entertaining scenes from Britain's top soap (as much for the poor research as anything else). Not even Phil Mitchell would go from nought to multi-hundred pound binges this fast: "Phil Mitchell on Crack" (just over 5 minutes).

Scientist lady shows us how to cook up gear: "How Much Citric?" Lucky cow: her brown is 70% purity! Oddly we never see her actually do her hit... maybe she got camera shy...

And lastly:

German documentary following a life from teenage addiction to untimely death before the age of 30. The decline in this girl's appearance is truly shocking. "Süchtig: Protokoll einer Hilflosigkeit". Sorry no subtitles; this is here for anyone learning German who's after practice material a little more gripping than Lindenstraße!































Nosey Quiz! Have you ever heard voices when you weren't high on drugs?
