‘Don’t touch the stuff, I think once is enough, his ears think the sounds, he dreams what he has found.’
Heroin, pure and simple. Latin Kings have a straight pipeline from Mexico to Chicago, and beyond.
Why do people become junkies? Because, for some, it’s how they get through life. It works for them. I’ve personally met a few that just nursed their habits along for years, occasionally coming down but not to clean up; their tolerance had gotten too high, so they went through the withdrawals on their own, like a reset.
One guy (who’d just shot up in his car ten minutes before) told me ‘if you don’t think you know any heroin addicts you’re wrong.’ But not to sound like a dick, he was just stating a fact. Then some chemist in Mexico started making Fentanyl and addicts started dropping like flies. This guy I knew was one of them, and he ODed and died.
But addicts went crazy for that shit- they wanted that harder hit.
I got hurt, couldn’t work, went on opioids. Funneled down to Morphine and Percocet for about a decade, until they stopped working. Withdrawing was insanity, literally. Banging my head on the wall, not showering because I couldn’t stand the thought of water hitting my skin, it was like going through a bad car accident about 15 times.
Backlash Jack said it would happen to me. He wasn’t wrong.
