At the allsup's next to the police station I watched a gentleman heat up a copper pipe latex straw combination with a blowtorch and use it to smoke a giant line of what I think was meth or fentanyl that he had piled up on the top of the new Mexican stand. Wild times dumb times.

It always seems like those are the majors, fake Roxy 30s and home cooked meth outgrow the need for real cocaine too. There’s something in cocaine that increases the dopamine threshold for hallucinations so I can only imagine what it’s like with someone on meth. I don’t know why most of NY seems to dodge meth but gets slammed with everything else.

Did you mean decrease? As in, it makes dopamine psychosis more likely? Just curious.

They’re making pretty big arrests by my house of a couple major dealers. Hopefully this makes a dent in that, but it’s a much deeper issue to solve than just cutting off the major sources. People need true help to ever move away from this.
