If you do indeed live in Michigan, I'd say the chance you are even able to acquire Mexican weed is extremely slim.

You're right and chances are I'll score something quite a bit more local. Detroit is still a major distribution hub and illicit drugs do make their appearance here. There's a Native American reservation around where we live and you can immediately tell when members of the Saginaw-Chippewa tribe are paid a monthly casino stipend (over $2,300 - referred to as percap - short for per capita) by the number of tricked-out vehicles driving around on the streets and into the reservation. The ones with the hardcore crack habits actually wind up at pay-day loan places.

Speaking of Reservations, you can typically get really awesome (Ritual) marijuana from them. Cheap as hell, too. Awww yeahhh, firewater.

Hell, I live so close I can type and put one foot in the Rio Grande river. We get great weed and coke, our hydro is really good but not quite Cali good.

Our X pills suck now from what I heard, that drug usually comes from the North and works it's way South.

Originally posted by Lira As the regular posters here probably know, there are very few topics I take seriously but, when I do, I usually bomb the screen with walls of text, sources, and html codes. Also, I'm far from being an intolerant person, having argued for the liberty of all kinds of nutters. In this thread, I want to try a somewhat different approach: because of the consequences involved in this kind of activity, it'd be downright immoral to be tolerant. And I want to make it brief. It doesn't matter right now if the war on drugs is misguided or wrong. It exists and, as far as we're all concerned, it must either be repelled through legal action or obeyed. If you really need drugs and want to find a moral loophole, make sure you can either manipulate the necessary substances/plants and make your own narcotics, or buy homegrown if you absolutely know no other crimes are being committed. However, if you buy drugs of unknown origin, I'd like to politely ask you to stop it. Otherwise, if you really need drugs, please overdose. You may live in comfortable communities where your actions have little if any impact, but the drugs may well have come from some other place. And you're very likely responsible in a way or another for drug-related crime in Mexico: do you really think the routes reaching the borders are a coincidence? As someone who lives in a developing country, I can assure you that we do not have the means to revert this situation. Poverty is tough enough a problem for us to tackle, and it's already a good source of problems and criminality. If you sponsor these criminals through the acquisitions of the goods they sell, you're only making it harder for us to solve this problem. I've had loved ones kidnapped by drug pushers looking for money, and they have become all too powerful due to their profitable activities. I'm doing all I can to raise awareness where I live because the situation here is not much better than what's going on in Mexico. However, the world is now flatter than ever, and this is probably a hopeless attempt to do something abroad. But, I'm trying, and I beg you: if you want to do drugs, do the right thing - either do it responsibly or just end yourself because no upstanding citizen deserves to pay for your mindless actions CORe version: If you do drugs, please see the traffic routes in the map above. Other people may be dying so you can get high and, if that's the case, I warmly ask you to end yourself before you do any further damage. Oh, and I fucking hate you for that

As much as I tend to enjoy your posts Lira, I have to wholeheartedly disagree with this one. This is like vegetarians arguing that them eating less meat is preventing less cattle from being slaughtered. The demand will always be there, so it's kind of irrelevant who is being killed (I know that sounds bad) on the route that the drugs get trafficked into the US or anywhere else.

Furthermore, morality is completely subjective, so it's near impossible to say anyone is doing anything morally wrong by doing anything at all.

Yeah, most of the X comes to america through canada. Almost all X today is associated with organized crime (If you are a decent human being don't do it, hell don't do that shit in the first place its horrible for you :| ). Most if it is BZP/TFMPP/mcPP (Piperazine family) or other sketchy chemicals.

That being said, there is a tiny ammount of pure MDMA (called molly) that goes around, but once again I would not touch that stuff or just not use it very much, as that can lead to bad things. I don't know what the source is... the types who usually have it are the hippies around here.

Solution:
Just don't do drugs at all or grow your own

Morality is not subjective. Look at this: People have needs and this is an objective fact. People have a need not to get shot. It doesn't matter what one's subjective thoughts on the matter are.

And me being a meat eater doesn't make me any less of an asshole.
