The dry up has been a b*st*rd for SWIM. SWIM is only able to buy score bags at a time and never knows if there will be any more the next day. This has meant SWIM cannot guarantee she will be fit for work every day. As it looks bad when SWIM takes days off here and there SWIM has just had to go off sick until further notice. Its been 3 weeks now.
SWIM only had another month to go until SWIM graduated. Now it looks like SWIM cant finish SWIMs degree. It also caused SWIM to start shooting up in order to econimise.
SWIM is in the N.E. of Scotland. Been told by dealer to expect another week of it too However SWIM is hopefully going to detox if she can persuade her doctor to prescribe something. Anyone else been strung out nearly every day?? Its hell on earth.

oh yeah.....
I don't think its drug busts that are causing this. The police are just saying that cause it looks good for them

It's pretty much everywhere in the UK, certainly where SWIM lives(Slough) and London.

Over the past week the situation has got a bit better but not much.

Apparently a big dealer around here had only 2 days worth of the shit B left(about an Ounce or 2 SWIM reckons)- that greyish crap that went funny in the syringe.

SWIM scored some proper H last week even though it was cut a bit too much for SWIM's liking so maybe it will get better.

Swim doesn't doubt it's been stamped on, but lets not speculate by who.

swimogadon........ swim is from near dundee and there has been a shortage in the town.......you can get but it takes hours of fucking about and the gear is pretty shit........swim also scores in aberdeen and it has been a little dry there as well........again there's gear but it takes a lot of finding and quality is poor..........swim usually travels down to NE England to pick up weight and doesn't usually bother with buying bags but even down there people are complaining........wonder what's going on?

There were quite a few busts by police in Dundee a few weeks ago and swim tells me that this is the first time that swim has ever seen police action actually reduce the amount of gear on the streets......usually after a few busts things are quiet for a while and everyone keeps low but there is no shortages..........but this time the police are (and I hate to say this.....actually it sticks in my throat but I'll spit it out) winning......in Dundee at least.......if any coppers are reading this then take note........swim can still score in Dundee if he needs to but you have inconvenienced him slightly.........you fuckers.

Tbh swim is quite glad that swim is on a script 'cause it's time like these where all the fuckin about makes swim wonder if it's really worth it......and then swim remembers what the world is like when he's straight and he goes on the nod again!

swiMother are you talking about the stuff that goes sort of frosty on top when you burn it on the foil? Swim is wondering what it is cut with......paracetamol? There's been loads of that stuff about.

Yes, I think so... I never normally chase it

The Police can take no credit for the drought.... even though in SWIMs area there was a big bust to other people soon took their place.

Word I have from some of the bigger Asian guys is they were(are) having trouble getting supply and even then only at a price and it was chit(still maybe from some).

Word I get from some of the Yardie firms around London, they don't know what the fuck everyone is on about, SWIM could have bought an Oz for a reasonable price from these guys right then and there and the quality was fine, the price a bit up but while the market's like this they're going to take advantage... these guys reckon though they import from places other Afghanistan and the Middle East... thing is that traditionally the Asians have run the H market, the guys I'm about are around but not easy to do business with for a few quids worth of H and most people would not trust these fellas with a few g's I guess.

I and others think it is someone high up in the Asian supply line who maybe wanted to raise the prices as apparently it's been another good crop in Afghanistan and did'nt want to see prices go down even further(before this drought happaned).

Which is crazy, in the NL's for what SWIM pays for a 0.4 in the UK(if SWIMS lucky at this time a good 0.2) SWIM could get over 1G of 70% pure product. Heh is this chit here goes on maybe SWIM will have a holiday soon.

SWIM cannot remmember a drought this bad now ever. It's been going on for over a month but only really hit SWIM the past two weeks and since SWIM's main and very trusted dealers operation got busted in the huge Slough busts, SWIM has had to deal with far less trustable people and even saw 1 dealer getting ripped by their supply(1/2 an oz of Horlicks...) shame the gear they were selling last week was very good, proper brown... SWIM's only seen proper H once last Wednesday not bought since then(o to be on a Morphine/DF script/Tramadol script... SWIMS lucky).

All this though has definetly lowered SWIMs tolerance... when 'normal' service resumes and it will as soon as it stopped SWIM and his friends will have to be carefull.

The way things have been though SWIM and many others he knows has honestly felt like fuck it, H just not worth it anymore.... Though SWIM gets his script meds for pain.

SWIM is in the west of scotland and can really get kit whenever he wants.
but swim doesnt have a job and so cant afford it, but swim is gonna try and get a loan f a tenner for a bag tmorrow. but for now swim is doing CWE's on co-codamol. 300mg a time. enough to stave off sickness. good luck and yep the cops are just saying that when in actuality theyre assholes and cant do their fucking job properly

SuicidalSoldier added 1 Minutes and 40 Seconds later...

SWIM cant find the edit button so he just wants to add that the bag he had 2 days ago wasnt all that good. stong high but made him feel pretty ill.

[Junkhead23]

Made you feel ill? In what way?

[MotherSuperior]

Apparently there are some problems again, SWIM has heard that this is the case down the road in London but in Slough it's not got to bad yet... saying that it really never got back to normal after the last drought...

All this BS has forced SWIMs hand in making SWIM make SWIMs own gear... that was the easy part.

Finding enough Morphine to make it from is proving to be hard but WELL worth it when found/got from doc.

[SuicidalSoldier]

just kinda made me...nauseous..and sweaty...
like going straight into withdrawal.

[thelonleyaddict]

Im in Aberdeen, and all the big dealers, yardies etc have vanished.
All the scousers have gone.

There is very very little gear up here, which is rare Aberdeen is known as the heroin capital of scotland. Also there is no white (crack) up here either hardly.

There have been sh*t loads of busts up here. My mate phoned contacts down in wolverhampton and aparently there is nothin down there either. I just sc*red a 20 an hour ago and it was 100% bash. Scorin used to be so easy now, almost as if the law had no meaning, now its gettin dam hard to score, especially decent gear.

[flube]

Swim managed to get a bag for 15 quid, that was bad enough, but swims friend was sick, and wanted half, so that had to be done. Now swim has been told nothing till wed, and was through day three. Gonna order some more pods, and just keep drinking the dirty tea till some Meth becomes available and swim can detox, or get some good gear. Who knows.

Damn drought

[thelonleyaddict]

Sorry for my previous post, I just found out about SWIM - I should have read more carfully.

[calmurphy17]

swim is in ayrshire , Scotland the drought has been on about 2 and a half weeks now.no weight around whatsoever ther was absolutely nothing for the first week but since then tiny amounts have been appearing, no one has anything really but swim has just been getting by but its a case of chasing gear all over town for 1 or 2 bags.its usually easier to score round here than it is to buy a pack of fags but saying that over the last 2 days swim has managed to get 6 bags and it was about the best tackle iv ever had it was great.those 6 bags were more than swim managed to get in the entire last fortnight. also do you think this could have anything to do with the shortagehttp://www.newstin.co.uk/sim/uk/5138...-010-001679956 because thats a huge amount, surely that would have some effect across the uk...?that was in april,so maybe all the dealers have been living off their stockpiles over the last couple of months and now there finished because of no resupply due to that bust. any thoughts?

calmurphy17 added 5 Minutes and 59 Seconds later...

the things is though something s gotta happen soon because whiles nothings about no one is making money and thats whats its all about for the boys at the top of the supply chain. swim doesnt usually score anything less than a quarter for himself and cant wait for things to go back to normal and have a nice little sack instead of scrabbling around scoring tenner bags

[chinpokomaster]

Nope. SWIM hails from East London and there's loads about.

[calmurphy17]

Swim managed to source a regular supply again (literally the only one in town) a few days ago, normal price , good size bags and positively excellent tackle, the best swims had in a LONG time.still no weight around though for swim.the infected red gear is still available if you know where to look.also swim got a call from a another aquiantance earlier saying they were back in business so maybe thats the drought starting to come to an end??I bloody hope so!

[flube]

still gash here.

[MotherSuperior]

This week it's been MUCH better in SWIMS town... still not back to normal but old dealers popping up and MUCH better weights.... SWIM scored a 2 £10's on Wednesday that was actually slightly overweight! The gear was not that great but with dealers popping up again SWIM will just goto the best deal.

So... SWIM would say things are getting back to normal.

Though SWIM was spoilt the past 6 months by SWIMs dealer who is now in HM's hotel by gear around 70%-90% though hopes that SWIM finds someone who is able to help SWIM(SWIM spends a lot of money on this so SWIM is sure they'll find another dealer who cuts SWIM 'special' delas).

[calmurphy17]

Yeah things are defineately on the up, the size of the bags has been normal for a good few days now,theres still not many people selling/got it though but those that do have got P for plenty.what swim will say though is the H he has been getting from his one of his shiny new sources is very high quality ,probably the best swims had and dealer assures him that wont be running out soon.Still cant get hold of weight for love nor money,well thats a lie in fact because i could have got an 8th for over double the normal price yesterday!

[Solinari]

My fiends town is still dead, don't know what it is, doesn't seem to be a single source around and this town was quite bad for it for years, there were good dealers, OK dealers and last resort dealers, now there is last resort if that.

My fiend had to travel to a dude near the city centre and the gear does seem fairly decent, cooks up with perfect amount of citric (tiny amounts) and leaves zero residue unlike that solidifying DEATH muck! No wonder smack gets a bad name.

[BumpBump]

swimsguy in manchester never seems to have for the last week. Fuckin shite! Ended up on the beonzos tonight!.
Anyone else in manchester experiening the same?

[jon-q]

north west has been very bad for 4-5weeks can score bagels but very poor quality need at least 2 to stop rattle,and only holds for about 6-7 hours.

[nick23]

I don't think this is the result of LE.It seems to be a problem in the Asian supply chain.

My cynical friend pointed out that an artificial drought would be the perfect way to ensure selling all that crap dope,like the red that's around.

[CandiGirl]

SWIMs friend lives in the midlands and the gear has been appalling around here. Not so much as a shortage, but more poor, poor quality. SWIMs friend has had gear that has crystallized in the spoon, ran like poo on foil and gone opaque. No nice warm feeling, just anxious about the crap that's going into body.... Well it has made one thing happen, SWIMs friend now realises they have been clean for weeks. And is off the gear! For good!
