Acid: When available, $5 a hit, $7 to $10 to the younger people. Date: June '94 Location: Fairhope Pot: $400/quarter-pound, sometimes a pound for $1200 or so... Acid: $5/hit.

Hits/Shrooms: Very hard to find, but average prices ($3-5 'cid, $20/eight shrooms). Opium: Be real careful here. There is some shit going around that smells like Jasmine. I think it's that Black Opium insence found in the back of HT. It's $20/eighth, but don't waste your money. *Everything above except for the Kind prices are from around the Venice beach area.

State: Delaware Location: Newark Date: July 24th '93 "Just about anything is available here, nobody seems to have any trouble finding weed, hash, LSD, speed, coke or crack. MDMA availability seems to be highly correlated with certain parties where there is little or no beer and many weird looking people dancing all night that happen about once or twice a month. Shrooms, microdots that are alledgedly mescaline (but more likely one of its more potent analogues), ketamine, PCP, heroin and various pharmacuticals are all available but if you don't know the right people it might take a week or two to find them.

Note: Slightly less than an ounce is only a misdemeanor in Indiana! They are searching a lot of vehicles, lately, so if you have an ounce or more, be careful, it's a stiff felony! Chesterton, Indiana, or neighboring city just spent a whopping $10,000 for a drug sniffing dog they now carry around to search vehicles on the spot. First month's statistics are 5 marijuana busts.

From the sources I've seen, bags are mostly buds, very little shake. Buds are full of red hairs and have a strong, green odor, usually around 2-3 inches long. General rule is to get it when shipments first come in, and you'll end up with the longer buds with very few seeds, but a few big stems. Very intense high, 1 or two bong hits will send you flying, a couple bongloads will knock you on your ass. LSD: $5-6 Everyone says it takes a couple hits to work Shrooms: $35 for an 1/8 oz., but I haven't seen 'em. Pretty rare. [They really depend on how well you know the source, and availability.

[2nd source, March '94] Marijuana: $10/gram State: Texas Location: Austin Date: April '94 Marijuana: * Commercial Mexican: $25/quarter. Bricked, *very* dry, seedy. Greener than other recent batches, fewer red/orange hairs. Harsh smoke, lots of cough. High is somewhat shallow, but has a decent duration. * Commercial Mexican: $25/quarter. Same source as above, but much lighter green, damper. Better, smoother toke, fewer seeds and stems. Stonier. * G9: $90/qtr from the grower, $100+/qtr further down the line. This is supposedly a (Northern Lights x Skunk #1) x (a whole slew of hybrids). Whatever it is, it's the most potent smoke I've ever encountered in my life. Let me repeat that. In my life. It looks like a vivid green and red thai stick, with very little of the white crystalization seen on some of the other Kind in town. The sticks are approximately 1 inch wide, and about 1/2 inch thick. A .25 inch slice from a bud, cut into 4 pieces, will absolutely fry a half-dozen people. Frighteningly good. * Afghani Hash Plant: $100/quarter. Beautiful buds, a little loose. Leaves (when dried) are a lighter green than I'd expected from an Afghani, with whitish tints in some places, interspresed with brilliant shoots of deep red and orange. Very energetic, spacey high. * Green Spirit (Big Bud x Skunk #1): $90/quarter. Intense smell from the skunk, the dried bud looks like it's been dipped in a sugar glaze there's so much resin dried on it. High is very spacy, long-lasting (4-6 hours from 1 bowl) and good to groove on. Still around from last time (when I in- correctly identified it as Green Vision. I blame the drugs :-). * Local Skunk Bud, misidentified last time as Jamaican: $75/quarter. This was grown outdoors locally (allegedly 300+ lbs.). Big fat nuggets of smooth green smoke, a bargain at the price, especially considering that it is moderately-seeded. Lots of people are starting gardens from this stuff. The high is medium duration, but very strong and mellow. If the seeded bud is this potent, I can't wait to try some of the Sinse from it... * Reputable friends have reported seeing unharvested Hindu Kush #3, Northern Lights #2, Thai Skunk (Thai x Skunk #1), (Haze x Skunk #1), Skunk #1 and 4-Way (Skunk x NL x NL x Skunk). It sounds like upcoming months will be Kind indeed here at the home of the the Armadillo. Location: Dallas/Ft. Worth area marijuana: "$100/oz or $1050/lb - excellent quality - 2 to 3 toke high" [2nd source, September '93] LSD: 50 hits of Mindblaster (paper)/$2.50 per hit "A little on the weak side for me, 3 hits were okay, will try four next time. Friend said 2 were definitely not enough." - 50 hits of Black Dot (paper)/$2.90 per hit "Didn't get a chance to try this one" Location: Houston Date: Early august '93 Marijuana: Indica, Huge light green buds and stink really bad. (Not sinse, had fair amount of seeds)- Incredible killer dope. US$120 / quarter ounce [other source, October '93] Marijuana: Mexican: US$30 a quarter oz. Typical summer mexican buds - mostly greenish brown flat gnarly looking buds. Fortunately it's usually not too compressed. Will definitely get you high if you smoke enough... Loaded with small, smooth, black seeds... very stemmy. Always available unless it gets REALLY dry (hasn't happened this summer). Buy the kind instead of this if you can... - Kind buds: Thai: US$120 a quarter oz. Was available in august. Outdoor grow kind. No seeds. Big brownish kinda-dry buds with harsh smoke that tastes a bit like it has gasoline fumes in it... Gets you quite stoned with only one good hit though. Overall it's pretty good. Colombian gold hash buds: US$140 a quarter oz. also available in august. From same source as the Thai. No seeds. Big light brown (almost beige) buds with traces of green. Gets you VERY stoned in short order. Northern Lights: US$100 a quarter oz. was available in September. Local hydroponic grown... No seeds. Nice sticky dark green "fluffy" buds. Takes about 5 mins to kick in but gets you nice and high as opposed to stoned. Wears off rather quickly though (in about an hour or hour and a half)... :( Indica!: US$120 a quarter oz. Available in mid october (about a week ago). Probably outdoor grow skunk buds. Huge fluffy, sticky light green buds. Very fresh so it's most likely local grow. Moderate amount of seeds. Not quite as strong smelling or as nice tasting as it has been in the past but unbelievable nonetheless. One good hit gets you REALLY REALLY high. Two gets you very stoned. Awesome stuff. You bet I'm saving the seeds. [3rd source, november '93] mexican brick : usual winter mex. Small crushed buds, dark green, some red hairs evident in the shake, stemmy with lots of seeds. Not bad overall for brick, and at $25/quarter-oz I don't complain. kind bud#1: very dark green sativa. large dense buds but not very strong smelling. one or two seeds found. VERY high THC content - one large bong hit I was mortally wounded, which is unusual... $120/quarter-oz kind bud#2: exactly the same as #1, from the same source even, but with less THC. Probably just a different plant from the same stock. Excellent bud though. kind bud#3: some weird strain of indica. not as green or strong smelling as indica usually is. light green buds dappled with red. big and very lightweight fluffy buds with no seeds and not much stem, so nearly the entire bag was smokeable. lots of big crystals and very tasty... very potent and a great deal at $110/quarter-oz LSD: a clear liquid in a small vial. $5 for a couple of drops on a sugar-cube. good stuff [4th source, Southwest Houston, Jan 24, 1994] MJ: 1/2 lb $400.00, 1/4 lb $250.00, 1/16 lb $80.00- Med. green, compressed, mexican.

[other source] Weed: $50-$75 1/4, depending on quality. $150 oz normal. Shrooms: $35-$40 1/4 Acid: $3-$5 hit, sheets vary widely. Shrooms and weed widely available, acid flakey. [other source] Location: Washington, DC Date: July '93 Marijuana: ~$200/ OZ (most common, actually a little expensive). Price most often depends on WHO is selling. High quality stuff gets around (in small quantities) but is generally cheaper (~ $100-150 / OZ). Not much "killer" stuff around. The most common is quite seedy and brown, but the buds are generally kind. When quality stuff makes it this far it tends to come from Oregon/N. California and is seedless, green smelly buds. The $200/OZ stuff can generally be scored in under a month. Everything else fluctuates tremendously as there are no other regular sources. Price has been steady for over a year now. Most of this, of course, depends on who you know... On the street you'll be easily ripped off. [other source, November '93] MDMA: $30/hit. White gelcaps.
