1 gram? 10 normal people for a 3 day high. Its a shit tonne for 1 person.

I like that bookstore.
After I gut-kicked him, and he was able to sorta straighten up and got his sweater back down, he went out the mall doors & I took the Ice Tea back in & caught up with Lisa. Don’t know what happened to him after that ‘cuz I was done with him.
Policy is employees can’t physically interact with shoplifters but I don’t think there’s any policy against customers doing so? The women working in the store were actually quite apologetic that they can’t do anything about it beyond what they were already doing. Kept them out-of-the-way anyway.
It was one of those “right or wrong” things & that was bullshit. Sometimes you need to bully the bully.
After the fact when the Indian woman were apologizing, they said that this guy comes in there and robs them every day. Every day! What the Hell?
Ice cream cakes are locked up at the new DQ on Albert North.
How far you get with an ice cream cake?
If the staff is, instructed not to touch you, or physically stop you…how far you get depends on how warm it is outside I guess.
2 Saturdays ago, at the Pepsi plant across the street from our yard, Eddy, their mechanic has the gate open and shop door open. A pickup drives in, he never thought much of it until this meth head comes in with a gun and tries to rob him. Probably not a smart move, even for a healthy person. Eddy grabs a pry bar and breaks the dipshit's collar bone. Then the other two shitheads in the truck come in and get the same treatment. When all three are no longer feeling like moving he calls the cops to come and collect the prizes. Unfortunately, he had to give up the gun to prove he didn't use excessive force.
Real-life Walter White was sociopath behind fentanyl epidemic

A powdered pestilence was raging through the Big Apple and cops were finding dead junkies with the needles still in their arms.
Next stop: Morgue.
It was a white powder packed in little baggies stamped Tango & Cash. This was February 1991 and it was America’s first taste of the deadly opioid fentanyl.
Cops were so alarmed they drove around with loudspeakers warning addicts about the new killer drug. Soon, the plague spread across the country.
Now, a new four-part FOX Nation documentary called The Godfather of Fentanyl, reveals the rogue chemist who unleashed this horror.
George Erik Marquardt was the real-life Walter White, the cancer-stricken protagonist of the acclaimed series Breaking Bad who turns to meth-dealing to help his family.
“Marquardt really was a real-life Walter White,” Donna Nelson, the Breaking Bad science advisor, told the doc.
The series features interviews with Marquardt from the 1990s where he admits his interest in science came from a lecture delivered by atomic bomb brainiac Robert Oppenheimer.
“That night I decided whatever the decisions of my life – right or wrong – were going to be, I was going to make them myself.”
For Marquardt — born in 1946 — formal education was for the birds. After he quit school, the future Godfather of Fentanyl discovered that his chemistry skills were in high demand. He started by making LSD before he was nabbed stealing chemistry stocks at the University of Wisconsin.
“[When he was 23] he stole the family truck and disappeared into the night,” his sister Gini told the doc. “He never talked to my parents again, ever.”

By the mid-1970s, he was in Oklahoma and cooking meth, making big bucks selling it to oil field workers.
“[Marquardt] wasn’t like anybody that I’ve ever run across before in the drug business,” former drug cop John Madinger said. He is the author of Lethal Doses: The Story Behind The Godfather of Fentanyl.
“He was personable, friendly, open, definitely the smartest criminal I met in 35 years of law enforcement,” Madinger said, adding “The guy [ultimately] has killed more people than all the serial killers you can name put together.”

At Lewisburg Federal Prison, Marquardt met big players in the underworld. Along with other criminal chemists, Marquardt and Co. were scheming to develop a synthetic heroin.
That would be fentanyl, first created in 1960 as a high-octane painkiller and 100 times more powerful than morphine. Creating the opioid was not easy and the Patriarca crime family of New England bankrolled Marquardt.
“My approach was to take what’s in the literature and mess with it,” Marquardt said in the videos. “Then I hope for serendipity to strike, and every once in a while, it does.”
He added: “Suddenly I saw these beautiful white crystals forming. I was extremely excited.”
Using his underworld contacts, New York City would be the test market. That was January 1991.
But Marquardt’s drug was supposed to be cut with other powders. That did not happen and the Grim Reaper got busy.
Once the bodies started hitting the streets in New York, tracking down the criminal mastermind behind it became a priority for cops.
Investigators got a break when one pusher babbled “his supplier in Wichita nearly died after accidentally inhaling fentanyl vapours in a makeshift lab in a remote industrial park.”
By the summer of 1993, Marquardt was behind bars after pleading guilty to conspiracy to manufacture fentanyl. He was caged for 20 years before being sprung in 2015, dying two years later aged 69.
Today, 2,000 Americans per week and countless Canadians pay the price for Marquardt’s “serendipity”.

'Godfather of Fentanyl': Fox Nation docuseries recounts story of one self-taught chemist-turned drug kingpin
Fox Nation's latest docuseries explores the history of drug kingpin George Erik Marquardt, the man coined the "Godfather of Fentanyl," and how he impacted the opioid crisis.
HUNTER: Real-life Walter White was sociopath behind fentanyl epidemic
A powdered pestilence was raging through the Big Apple and cops were finding dead junkies with the needles still in their arms.
Shouldn't fentanyl be like guns? You know, the conservative line. . . "The seller isn't responsible for what the buyer does with it."
Easy to fix that. Regulate it. Or just legalize it.
For somebody who pisses and moans about the government so much, you surely do want its fingers in everything.
If it were up to me they'd all be dead by now from zero support.
It's about fucking time.

Got another trap house on our block. Moved in back in the spring and there were somewhat stealthy at that point, but over the course of the summer, they’ve gone apeshit. It’s Next Door your plumber buddy with the big sunflower and down a couple of houses…
Working to try and get that removed. Easier said than done and it’s not a fast process.
I figured there’s between 30-40 junkies living there between the house and the garage and the encampment in the backyard.

I figured there’s between 30-40 junkies living there between the house and the garage and the encampment in the backyard.
So, yesterday afternoon after I got home, these trap houses generate garbage, which they try and hide somewhat sort of. Plus they end up with garbage (recycle, & yard waste) bins full of stolen property being dropped off in exchange for… whatever the flavour of drug is.
There’s a new business opened on the corner of our block (witchcraft and voodoo supplies store, owned and run by women exclusively). The junkies hauled much of their crap down and dumped it on this new business.
Myself and one other neighbour took it upon ourselves to reclaim that last evening.
So when this business opens again Tuesday AM (they are closed Sundays and Mondays), they will find this:
Baby steps….while we wait on SCAN. This morning (every second Monday) is garbage day for this neighbourhood.

4 months ago could have asked a bud to check it out. He retired from by-law in May. Chances are good you know him from Thom.
I might, but I’d have to see him. Things are in play. They just don’t seem to happen fast enough as all.
The police were out there twice Sunday during the daylight (and my dogs went off several times in the night because that’s when they’re the most active), and the last time they were there, I buttonholed the lead cruiser, so everybody had to stop behind him….& they were responding to a fight that happened on that property, because one junkie is in the hospital and he’s missing half an ear. Somebody bit the other half off.
They were all trying to leave out the alley to get west on the 11th to get to either the police station or the Tim Hortons on the 11th. I was cleaning up that yard.
Things aren't as bad they once were in north central. The still unburned houses are filling up with immigrants. Lots of Africans.
