What weed legalization has done to the LA drug scene [CA]
    #22254575 - 09/18/15 05:32 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

“Loko,” Blood Gang Member
Los Angeles

It’s a struggle out here every day in the city. All the homeboys are using crystal. Blood, Crip, it doesn’t matter. They are all going crazy on crystal. It’s the new big thing in LA. They call it G-Unit or Go Fast. Everybody is smoking it or snorting it. You go to the Black communities and you’ll be surprised. It’s super abundant. It’s badass as a muthafucka and it’s fucking South Central LA up real bad right now.

I got a lot of homeboys and homegirls that graduated from Ecstasy to straight meth. A lot of them are using meth, and they really tweaking off that shit right now. They are using it for partying, everyday activities, sex. I had a homeboy that died of it. He was using it and drinking and doing PCP and he fucked his heart up.

This shit is rabid in LA. It’s the second coming of crack for real. It’s worse than crack. Because on crack you can smoke for a few years and bounce back, but with crystal you smoke it and you are gone — no teeth, you lose all your weight, it’s a bunch of zombies out here. They are selling it for $3,200 a pound. Young dudes are getting rich off it. It’s the No. 1 scene they are pushing. They stopped the bomb powder. We got our own weed, it’s damn near legal out here. The only thing the Mexicans got to push is this and they pushing it hard.

The Mexicans are making super meth, like that Breaking Bad stuff. That shit is pure, ain’t no cooks in the hood, and if there were, the Mexicans would put them out of business. I was selling it, getting it from the Mexicans, but I had to stop. I have kids. I don’t want them around the cyrstal meth world, it’s too dangerous. I made a lot of money off that shit, but weed offers a better opportunity. I went and got a legalized card and documents so that I can sell it. I got my own dispensary now.

    I used to get high like a muthafucka, but right now I’m scared. I’m just scared of drugs right now.

Meth is destroying the Black community. Back in the early 2000s you didn’t see crystal in the Black community; now, besides weed, it’s the No. 1 drug. Dudes are taking it out of town. Cali dudes going to Pennsylvania or wherever and making a killing with the crystal. They’re selling Molly pills at the clubs and down in the hood for $30, $40, and they are mixing the crystal in and getting muthafuckas hooked.

We are right by Mexico, so we flooded with it, and being that marijuana is legal here in a sense, it’s shut the weed game down. There is no hustle in it. Cocaine prices have gone through the roof — so the new hustle is crystal meth.

The media is not reporting on it. It’s an epidemic in LA. That shit is fucking the Blacks up in the hood. It’s destroying a lot of people I know. You don’t expect to see Blacks using it like that, but the Blacks are using it in LA and there’s a lot of Blacks in LA. I got homeys going to jail for dumb shit off that shit. They tweaking doing stupid shit, shit they never thought they’d do. That meth is killing them, dude. Trust me, it’s killing them. It’s a plague on our community right now.

I tried it, but I haven’t got high in four years. I quit cold turkey. I used to get high like a muthafucka, but right now I’m scared. I’m just scared of drugs right now. That’s where I’m at. That’s what’s up. That’s how my day is going.

Where is the source? Just "Loko"?

Why is it so surprising that "Blacks" enjoy methamphetamine?

Granted, when i met my first black friend deep in the hood who actually loved taking heart shaped taking rolls and feeling loved up with his friends (all of who never left their apartment without at least a .22) , it seemed very out of place. But this was over a decade ago, i remember finding it interesting.... But.

The first person i ever saw who had Adderall was a black dude, and all those guys i knew really loved blow, just hadnt heard much about adderall back then. But once he and his friends tried it (especially cause it used to be so cheap, especially* compared to street blow) these dudes really liked it. Eventually it seemed like all those dudes were doing it, and really enjoying it. People who tend to enjoy adderall, why wouldnt they like methamphetamine?

The rolling thing is interesting (just cause it felt out of place to me at the time) but amphetamines? I know people think of it as a redneck thing but in the end we are all human with the same dopamine and norepinephrine systems...

Just dont know what this article has to do with weed

Damn, that's real sad news man, people fucking up their lives because of drugs. Thing is, you can't do much to stop it, everyone's gonna do whatever they want to do. It's good that you kept a clear head, best of luck to ya!

Meth is a fucked up drug and frankly it saddens me to hear that it's spreading like this.

It's not just a drug, it's a lifestyle.  People out in the country who get really into it make their life all about meth:  They cook it, sell it, shoot it, rinse, repeat.  This is all they do.

It's not helping that it's so cheap out there.  At 3,200 a pound that makes it 200 an ounce, which is dirt cheap compared to other parts of the country where people are still paying 80-100 dollars a gram.

It's easy to make, easy to sell, it's fast money and a fast lifestyle that usually leads to a slow and untimely death.  I don't wish meth addiction on anyone, even if it's unlikable gang bangers.

Why does an s on the end of black sound so much less politically correct then black with out an S?  Same with the word Jew?

I dunno man... Ive got friends from Ventura down to Long Beach and compton and heroin is a big thing, not meth. ESPECIALLY among black and Hispanic men.

What a joke of an article.

Call me old fashioned, but I'd still rather buy a lid of top shelf bud than a lid of bottom shelf bathtub crystal. Speed paste is a different ballgame. You vacuum a line of dry speed paste and smoke a onie, you're down to be productive. You whiff up a line of crystal and who knows where you'll end up. Wih the right wrong chemistry,  you might end up trying to fuck a meat grinder while shoving a rigid steele pine cone into your rectum backwards. Just stick with pot and life is roses.

Amphetamines in general have always sketched me out. I would much rather stick with cannabis and kratom.

I have some interest in trying DOM again but that is a bit different :lol:

Kratom can get very stimulating for me, as can cannabis sometimes. Add some coffee to the mix and I am flyin :wink:

Congrats man, that is impressive. I have trouble seeing myself ever fully sober up since I love cannabis and kratom so much :lol:

Maybe one day.

I still drink and smoke weed occasionally. Still do mushrooms. But no more meth and no more coke. To be honest I maybe miss the coke just a little bit but, I will never go back to the grit.

DOM, while being an amphetamine, does not act as a typical amphetamine. It is 2c-D with the pea turned into amphetamine. Normally this mostly just lengthens the duration of the phenethylamine (like from 8hrs to 18hrs)

I can't smoke weed and kratom doesn't really cut it for me.

I want only the sketchiest drugs bought from the shadiest of gentlemen.  The type of sketchy drugs that stay in the system for only 3-5 days.

I'ma check out this so-called amphetamine paste.  I hope I can brush my teeth with it.

It's like adderall with even more negative side effects and its often cut with caffeine.  I had a bunch last year, ended up flushing a shit ton of it down the toilet because I was using it on a daily basis.  It's cheap, but I prefer Adderall or Dexadrine if you can get it.

I don't see how pot legalization has anything to do with why gang members and impoverished people are doing meth? It says they got started off of ecstasy. And people in california have been smoking bud for a long time as in, it's been pretty much legal for a couple decades now..lol poverty journal writing and propaganda, like a failed tryout for vice news
