NJ Heroin: "We're Number One! We're Number One!"

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

From today’s Times:

New Jersey’s heroin was found to be the purest in the nation for the second straight year, a dubious distinction causing an array of health and treatment challenges. Michael Pasterchick, special agent in charge of the D.E.A. office in Newark, said, “You can’t buy any better heroin in the world than you can buy in New Jersey.” Because New Jersey is the first stop for many drug traffickers, the heroin on state streets has not been diluted with additives or resold. Purer heroin means more overdoses, and it makes kicking the habit more difficult.

—I wonder if we have this on our lisence plates?

Once again the citizens of South Jersey would like to thank our neighbors to the north – in North Jersey duh – for making the whole state look bad.

3

You’re right, Philster, it was all us.

Because Camden is an idyllic paradise. Oh yeah.

4

You fool—they want us to turn against ourselves! That’s their plan!

Here, have some heroin, chill out.

5

SO isn’t there a Doper superhero working out of Jersey? Why aren’t you on this one - you know, contaminating select stashes of China White so that your state’s ranking drops a few places?

That’s what I’d do if I were a supehero.

And since we’re already divided on whether spandex and fringe are still acceptable fashion statements, we need to stay united on the heroin thing!

The truly scary thing: 20% of this is attributable directly to the Kallikaks.

9

The who?

I blame this all on the NHL lockout. If the Devils were playing hockey this year, then people would have other things to do than O.D.

See? We are the Garden State. We grow opium poppies!

Eve would be far better at explaining them than I am, but for a brief summary:

Eve’s neighbors. Scum of the earth. Annoy her to no end.

She opened a thread here sometime in the last few days about them.

Hey, it’s better to die from an overdose than because you’ve shot rat poison into your veins.

The average purity of street heroin is 40%, worse in prisons and during shortages.
Apparently, a big danger is someone who is using heroin in prison trying to get the same dosage on the street, after their release, and overdosing.

12

OK! We’ve got smokier bars and better heroin–take that, New Yawk! Buncha wussies. One night in a Jersey bar shooting up our heroin would send you t’ bed for a week.

13

Yeah, but Cali still has the best weed. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

14

Complete and utter fiction.

And besides, he works on a local basis. Let Newark get their own superhero. Err…superhero who doesn’t exist.

15

Eve when I started to read your quote, I thought it was going to say, “Researchers found that the air in bars contained 9 times more heoin than in other states”

:stuck_out_tongue:

16

Don’t confuse me with the facts. I live in South Jersey, remember?

Now that I look at it, is it really a bad thing to have the best heroin? Probably not.

Sweet white corn and heroin: Perfect Together.

17

No, no—it’s “puh-fect together.”

Sounds like the new state motto my friend suggested–New Jersey: We’re New York’s Smoking Section. :slight_smile:

I can’t wait until someone tries to tell the diner owners of this state that they have to go smoke-free. I will happily begin organizing the Million Smoker March.
