Do you consider drug addiction a disease?

Is it cheaper in CR

 

[pocketrockets]

This is a good post. I understand Nh can relate to all of it.

I came from from a healthy, loving family. I had a great childhood where I didn't go without. I may have been spoiled quite a bit. I was popular in high school and always had the hot girlfriend. My friends were upper middle class who had money and we liked to party. It started off fun and social and then I quit for 8 years totally while I was in th marines. After, I dabbled with drugs here and there. I did it mostly to break the boredom of just sitting around. I had hobbies, but enjoyed doing coc. After a couple long term failed relationships ended I found myself doing coc more and more for extended periods of time. A couple failed jobs because I would literally have no sleep and it's just too hard t function like that. So I stopped. Rinse and repeat. This last stint of 7 months I had to stop because it just got old and I was going to die of a heart attack if I didnt. The cocaine psychosis was ridiculous. The paranoia while doing it got ridiculous. I just stopped, but have done it a few times since. I have no desire to do it everyday anymore. It gets old.

I agree boredom has A LOT to do with it nowadays but also exhaustion, I need that boost of energy to focus and carry on. Psychosis is shit, is ridiculous.

$20 a gram of pure, $10 a gram cut in the streets... used to be $8 a gram 10 years ago, $5 a gram 15 years ago.

wow that is cheap...Might be a good idea to try to smuggle it into the US and wholesale to mexican drug gangs in southern texas/arizona

Fuck I'd be a coke addict too.

Thats niuts

See, I don't have that problem... In the streets you will always find it cut, but if you into the ghettos you get a more clean cut. I live with a dealer and he gives it to me 100% pure... pure cocaine is a whole different animal, the bumps are to intense. A whole different chemistry.

Makes me cringe to think about it to be honest.

I have been very seduced by the idea of becoming a drug dealer... but given my addiction, I could end up dead really easily... I have spoken to a couple of MC's about the smuggling part, HAMC were sending a couple of members to define logistics but they backed down in the end, obviously they don't trust me enough.

I have a friend who lives in California who use to ship 40k of weed a month through FedEx to Michigan.

He owns a dispensary in Cali now

lol nooo shit?

Id rather not discuss much of it here but our plan involved canned goods, tropical goods.

Must've been awhile ago? Couldn't he just drive down the street and wholesale it to a dispensary now?

 

[Bourn]

He owns a dispensary now in Sacramento. Yeah it was about 7 years ago.

 

[PatsFan1283]

I knew a guy who got in on growing early, then it became semi-legal and he would wholesale to dispensaries. He had the best strands so he would get good value for his product. This was like 6 years ago though, I would think now that more and more people are growing that it would drive the price down that dispensaries are willing to pay.

I told him make as much as you can because eventually big agri-business is going to take it over since growing in large volume is actually pretty cheap.

He buys by the pounds from the growers obviously, but he says the wholesale on the best strain runs about $225 an ounce. I could sell an ounce of that here for $500 ($125 a qtr)

$3600 a pound that is still a nice haul. Figured it would be lower by now.

Growing really isn't that hard. The main thing is you just need to pay a ton for electricity but if you got an extra room you can yield like 8-12 pounds every 3 months.

Guess a lot of people are still worried about it.

Big agri-business isn't involved yet but once they get involved I'd imagine they just rent a giant warehouse somewhere in central CA and mass produce. It wouldn't cost them more than like 1-200 a pound.

Who is paying $500 for an oz?

 

[PatsFan1283]

Who is paying $500 for an oz?

I'm sure that is broken into 8ths. The dispensaries mainly sell 8ths pretty sure so they probably get like 5-600 oz for the good stuff depending on where in CA it is

Hydro/Kind whatever you want to call it goes for $125 a qtr in dallas all day everyday.

Yea, i didn't put together that it was being broken up. $125 thats still expensive. Where i'm at the most fire is $100 a quarter. If someone wants more than that I pass.

Maybe that is the majority but it is not a hard and fast rule. I grew up in a very supportive home. Have a brother that is a casual drinker and doesn't battle with alcoholic tendencies at all. Just the genetic lottery IMO. Nature not nurture.

I'm sure there are smarter people than me arguing both sides of that somewhere...

my brother is over 60 with COPD and been drinking heavily since being a teenager. he was raised in the same environment i was. my sister went to Vassar and has a Masters from Harvard. she has been a teacher for over 25 yrs and is dead broke because no job is perfect enough. she takes medication for depression. also raised in same environment. is this all just a crazy coincidence????? i don't think so. everybody is different, but i think how i portrayed it is generally accurate.
