Whats wrong with just sticking to booze people... Weed is a much softer drug to choose. I have no problem with pot, just don't feel the need to do it.

i stick to beer. A cold one and a smoke saves my day if it has been shitty.... of course im gonna have to quit the smokes soon.. I like beer, but get sick of them after a while. I like harder liquor more, Captain Morgan, Bombay, Fireball. Pretty much anything except tequila.

Let's not forget that alcohol is a drug by any definition. A pretty hard one at that

Let's not forget that alcohol is a drug by any definition. A pretty hard one at that I'm a very nice, fun,well mannered drinker. It's all in how you HANDLE yourself while drinking. Same with weed. I've even known some pleasant coke users who didn't go overboard or talk constantly. Each person reacts different

I do not remember any pleasant coke heads. They all turned into assholes and bitches. I just stick to alcohol. If I smoked weed nowadays I think I'd be high for a whole week since it's so much more potent than it was years ago.

My drink of choice is good Cuban rum with Dr pepper. Or whiskey. Or beer.or wine. Haha. I am not a gin person at all.
Anyone else ever play beer darts?
On a side note I can't understand why anyone gets into something so horrible as heroin. I stick to PCP myself.

Lol beer darts you put a beer between your leg and sit across from someone in a lawn chair and try to hit each others cans. Haha we thought of trying beer javelin once but that didn't work out as well as we had hoped.
And not SRS about the PCP haha

Whiskey is my drink of choice. Bourbon, scotch. Either on the rocks or with a drop of water, depending on the quality. Yum. I thought you'd sippin' rum out of Stanley Cups. For the record, I do catch these references. The back all chiseled one too.

Cool.Hard to keep track of ghostface lyrics because, just like what's being discussed here, it's obvious that his music is heavily influenced by drugs. What do you think he was on when they did supreme clientele ?
Had to be dust.. All those Wu dudes were getting dusted watching Kung fu movies and shit lol

EXCLUSIVE: Bronx heroin suspect’s family was collateral for Mexican drug cartel BY THOMAS TRACY , LARRY MCSHANE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Thursday, May 21, 2015, 2:30 AM A A A 43 47 6 SHARE THIS URL
Authorities seized 70 kilograms of heroin and $2 million in drug money on Sunday. It was the largest heroin bust in New York State history. The alleged drug dealer was required to use two family members as collateral for a Mexican cartel. THEODORE PARISIENNE/FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Authorities seized 70 kilograms of heroin and $2 million in drug money on Sunday. It was the largest heroin bust in New York State history. The alleged drug dealer was required to use two family members as collateral for a Mexican cartel. A notorious heroin cartel forced a Bronx drug kingpin to send two relatives to Mexico as collateral in their multimillion-dollar dope deals, the Daily News has learned.
Jose (Hippie) Mercedes, busted Sunday in a record seizure of heroin with a street value of more than $50 million, surrendered the “very close family members” to the Sinaloa cartel, according to a source.
It’s not the first time a local drug dealer was forced to provide human collateral to the ruthless Mexican drug providers, the source said Wednesday.
“We’ve seen this before in cases involving narcotics supply organizations affiliated with the Sinaloa cartel,” the source said.
The multimillion-dollar, five-state heroin ring allegedly run by Mercedes from a Bronx apartment, imported its supply by land from Culiacán, Mexico, authorities said.
Mercedes’ relatives were not held hostage, but were kept under the cartel’s close watch — and under threat of retribution if anything went wrong.
The massive drug takedown, the largest by the Drug Enforcement Administration in New York State history that also netted $2 million in cash, reinforced recent claims by law enforcement that heroin demand was exploding in the five boroughs.
“Right now, we estimate that 20% of the drug seizures in the country for heroin are here in New York,” Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said.
Mercedes, 46, and associate Yenci Cruz Francisco, 19, were busted after surveillance and wiretaps led investigators to believe the pair were about to make a major heroin pickup.
Court papers alleged the deal was done in a New Jersey warehouse parking lot last Saturday, with a task force arresting both suspects one day later near the W. 251st St. apartment in Fieldston, the Bronx, officials said.
The year-long probe included the NYPD, the city special narcotics prosecutor, state police, DEA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations.
The drugs were recovered from hidden compartments beneath the floor of Francisco’s 2006 Chevrolet Suburban — as was $24,000 cash, authorities charged.
The $2 million was hidden beneath the floorboards of the fifth-floor apartment near the prestigious Horace Mann School and busy Van Cortlandt Park.
“We’re swimming upstream against the tide right now,” Bratton said. “Fifty-odd percent of the overdose deaths in the city right now are due to heroin.”

Whats wrong with just sticking to booze people... Weed is a much softer drug to choose. yes, I agree pot is much safer than alcohol, I haven't had a drink of alcohol in 34 years, I can't handle it. but. up until about 7 years ago I smoked a lot of pot, never had any problems. some dudes cannot handle alcohol and I am one of them. don't regret not drinking at all. quit smoking cigarettes in 1976 and, that's probably why im in good shape at 72. cigarettes will give you cancer, pot wont.
