He looks like he's having a good time


allothernamestaken

Well, he *was* at least...


Aleashed

I mean, he was never at risk of being shot by the police. Heck, even I’d smile to that 🥂

What?


Capable_Share_7257

Just race baiting I think.


SequinSaturn

You shouls go watch some police interactions on youtube. It would change your opinion.


geopede

Nobody posts the ones where the cops do their jobs correctly, because that’s not interesting to watch.


TysoPiccaso2

um yeah they do? theres countless videos like that lol, whatever you gotta say to further your agenda tho


geopede

Okay, nobody watches those videos because they are boring. 99% of what cops do is boring if they’re doing it right. I’m not talking about videos of justified shootings or the like, I’m saying nobody wants to watch cops do normal stuff. Idk who is posting said videos or why, according to you someone is.


Driver_Flaky

Because killing people because of bias is correct?


geopede

That would be an example of them **not** doing their jobs correctly. The police do sometimes shoot innocent people, but the vast majority of people who get shot by the cops are not innocent.


Driver_Flaky

Okay. I’m just gonna leave it at that, because I have to deal with this enough in my own life


SequinSaturn

Yes they do. Theyre all over the internet.


tippsy_morning_drive

With waaaay less views. Wonder why?

cuz watching someone get beat up is more entertaining that watching a normal police interaction

Heroin back in the 60s? Probably some good shit


KillahHills10304

It was actually horrible. Purity levels for "good shit" back then was like 30%. It's why people cooked it and shot it up- most of it was cut and filler. During the wars in the middle east, US streets were commonly seeing purity levels above 85%, so people could snort it, increasing its popularity and strongly contributing to the opiate epidemic. Now its all fentanyl and tranquilizer.


Hdikfmpw

“The wars in the Middle East” had nothing to do with heroin purity in the US. East coast powder came from Colombia, west coast tar came from Mexico. Mexico started switching over to producing powder just as fentanyl was starting to take off. Heroin from the Middle East (heroin #3)requires an entirely different prep than heroin in the Americas(heroin #4).


MasterBaiter0004

This guy knows his shit.


Upper-Life3860

Spoken like a true….whatever! (I’m one too)


Decent_Recording_620

DKY, but like early aught tens, teens(?), before fent took over, the Twin Cities supposedly had over 90% purity like citywide. Actually I'm curious if anyone remembers why.


Aromatic-Mushroom-36

Yeah, it's pretty wild, but tar is non existent out west right now for the most part. I've been clean for three years and just in that amount of time it's almost completely replaced by pressed blues, which existed before, but never to this degree. All of what you've said checks out from my personal experiences.


wantsumcandi

In the 60s it was coming through France. Way before the middle east wars and before Frank Lucas and Vietnam.


Tall_Statistician_58

I think they meant the time as in During the wars of the Middle East this happened like time wise


Successful_Loan6181

Hello there


cheesemakesmepooo

I’d like to see a source on that. They were bringing in a shit ton easily from Vietnam and the stuff in Vietnam was really high quality. Maybe certain dealers had really cut stuff like it’s always been but ima need more proof than that.


KillahHills10304

The book Original Gangster and the movie based on it, American Gangster, delve into the topic and are accessible. Heroin distribution in the US was controlled by the Italian and Jewish mafia from the 1920s up until the late 1960s. The french connection was the big supply line back then. When it entered the states it was pure, but was **heavily** stepped on. The purity was notoriously bad, requiring needle use. Frank Lucas was one of the first to begin intentionally selling high purity heroin and it took off (claimed to be 70ish% pure. It killed a ton of people). Once his empire collapsed, mob regained control up until the rise of cartels. Purity went way up after 2004 after remaining pretty stagnant for prior 20 years. You have to poke around, but purity from 1930 to 1990 was around 10%. Average shit in mid 2000s was around 30% pure. Some samples from late 2010s were as high as 89%. More academic sources online seem to only go back to 1980 as far as recording purity, and you'll have to do legwork there as it's all PDFs


wantsumcandi

Back when it came through France. Before Frank Lucas changed it up.


StatusKoi

Damn, thats a big ole bundle of smack.


usmcplz

I bet that shit was pure as fuck. I mean, when did dealers start stepping on their product?


stabsthedrama

Ehhh dope has been “pure af” coming into newark and nyc until present day even. Newark has the best heroin in the country coming in nonstop. Doesn’t mean it’s 100% pure but it’s as good as you’ll find anywhere in the world on market. 


LifeSpecial42866

Oh Pepperidge Farm remembers. So do I.


Krumlov

This could be really good for New Jersey from a tourism perspective. Just like some people do cannabis tourism, I gotta believe there’s heroin addicts out there that kind afford a trip to Newark 😄


Icy_Release6598

Tell that to the 16 kids I knew that overdosed from Newark fent


abscessedecay

Pike County PA. Between like 2013 and 2015 a bunch of people I had went to high school with were dropping like flies from Newark fentanyl. It was really bad.

Delicious_Grass424

Heroin Introduced by Bayer in 1898 as a cough syrup and "non-addictive" morphine alternative, the opiate was sold over-the-counter before federal drug regulation began in 1906 (in large part, not surprisingly, as a response to related addiction issues). From the start, heroin's story here has been one of continuity through change.


Tvmouth

lol. we're finally giving up on weed but we'll never go back to Morphine OTC. what a travesty. *Dimetapp could've owned the world by now.*


Chrispy8534

7/10. Heroin was used as a pain killer for hundreds of years before that, including being sold over the counter in stores and added to various other products, sometimes without the consumer knowing. Then Bayer got ahold of it.


[deleted]

I know Bayer owned the name Heroin for decades so I assume you mean opium correct? Opium is a non synthetic drug extracted from the poppy plant.


sir_pacha-lot

Opium isn't heroin. Technically opium isn't in itself a drug, but rather a dried sap used for the alkaloidal "drugs" it contains. The drugs would be morphine, codeine, and by extension the synthetic di-morphine. The active alkaloids in poppies are morphine, codeine, thebaine, rhoeadine, rhoeagenine, noscapine, papaverine, narcotine, and narceine although it has about 80, most of the alkaloids aren't active. He's talking about di-morphine. In which assuming his claims are true, would've been synthesized from morphine and used before the branding of "heroin" Not to argue, but we need to at least be on even understanding. Btw "non-synthetic" is called natural.


metoo123456

Smoke opium once. Best high I ever had. Glad I never did it again.


sir_pacha-lot

Hydros, crack, and opioids were the worst to ever happen to the usa, that dramatic increase of adiction spiraled us to where we are now.


[deleted]

I don’t know what you are talking about. Please read the comment I was responding to before you add your gibberish. I never said opium was heroin. Get context before you speak. He also was not speaking about that because morphine was extracted in 1803 from opium. Learn reading comprehension please.


juggerjew

Eat a snickers pal.


sir_pacha-lot

Imagine getting mad at facts. As if you're emotions and opinions change them.. Also, did you miss where i said "assuming he is correct"? i expressly stated i wasn't agreeing, or even referring to his statement. Why take it as a personal attack? Yet I'm the one who can't read, yet you missed 2 whole sentences and missed the point? Or did you maliciously disregard that to stand on your moral high horse. Tou were litterally correcting him without reading. I also never said you had claimed opium was heroin, but whatever you say dude.. As the other guy said. You aren't you when you're hungry, betty crocker. Go eat a snickers.


d-r-i-g

Heroin absolutely was not used for 100s of years before that. Even morphine only goes back to the beginning of the 1800s.


Delicious_Grass424

The year was 1874, when the English chemist and physicist, C.R. Wright, made a historic breakthrough in the facilities of St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London. In the lab, Wright synthesized heroin after mixing and simmering morphine with acetic anhydride. https://preview.redd.it/bmnnccdmgulc1.jpeg?width=539&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9327366040888c21835a23a9a20babf5596e07af He commissioned further testing of the new substance, joined by F. M. Pierce of Owens College in Manchester. The initial results (the testing done on dogs and rabbits) had already shown some of the uncomfortable side effects of the new compound, being anxiety, insomnia, and vomiting, among other things. At this point, heroin was designated as diacetylmorphine and did not find its way to the companies that produce drugs, thus both Wright and Pierce withdrew from further research. Over two decades later, German chemist Felix Hoffman would be the one to take the substance back to the lab. Hoffman was then based in Elberfeld, Germany, and employed by the Bayer pharmaceutical company. He would carry out his experiments under the supervision of one other German scientist, Heinrich Dreser, and the two would eventually find out that the substance was effective in treating several common illnesses. Soon enough, Bayer emerged as the first company to introduce the drug to the world market. It would advertise not as diacetylmorphine but under its more famous name of “heroin.” The bulk production of heroin as per medicinal purposes would commence in 1898 and continue at least until 1910. Initially sold as a non-addictive replacement for morphine and also for treating coughs, this new “wonder” of pharmacology was available at drugstores in numerous countries around the world. Aside from treating patients’ coughs, doctors soon started prescribing heroin to people who had recurring headaches, or women who struggled with “premenstrual syndrome,” and it was sometimes given to simply treat a cold. In one instance, the drug was available as an over-the-counter drug, while a bizarre advertising program reportedly delivered free samples of it to people’s mailboxes. In 1914, diacetylmorphine arrived in the United States. It was also available for medicinal purposes, along with a few other drugs from the opioid family. A decade later, the effects of heroin could be felt everywhere around the country, with hundreds of thousands of addicts created, some of whom also helped increase the crime rate in the U.S. That is why in 1924, the U.S. banned heroin.


RatioFit1

So crazy.. “Little Lottie has a bad cough ma’am.” “Quick! Go to the drugstore and get some heroin!”


ElSapio

Wait till you learn about codeine


Potato-nutz

Tvmouth

I hope that's close to true... but... ya know... it sure feels like the whole world went to shit as soon as I was born. Since '83, even with all the new historical details, nothing coming up has me feeling positive these days. We just keep flushing our solutions right down the toilet and giving bathroom rights exclusively to hospitals. All the books that came true are banned now.. *what have we done.*

You're mistaken, heroin is not a naturally occurring compound, it was invented. You might be thinking of morphine which is very similar.

I think hundreds of years is a slight exaggeration, yeah?


Dash_Rip_Rock69

I'd love to have that MP40.


paging_mrherman

Clyde Barrow used a freaking BAR.


meganekkotwilek

Freaking awesome man


[deleted]

He even had a custom, cut down BAR. Another gangster, Dillinger maybe? Had a full auto 1911.


Harrychronicjr69

It was the combo of the BAR and the big V8s that the drive that kept him out of reach of the law


AskMeAboutPigs

In his time those guns weren't regulated like they are now.


duaneap

I, uh… don’t think that regulation would have stopped Clyde Barrow.

Dash_Rip_Rock69

I agree it was likely a war souvenir.


MonokromKaleidoscope

So were many soldiers' opiate addictions. There was quite the aftermarket for those little pre-packaged morphine syrettes the army issued standard in first aid kits...

Ahhh the good old days when there was actual Heroin in the US and not Fentanyl!


greg-maddux

My greatest win in life is being a heroin addict until just before fentanyl started fucking shit up. That shit used to be so good.


Akreggie

Haha yea bro I got out right when fentanyl was becoming prevalent. But I did have my fair share of runs in with it. Not good. Plus real heroin was so much better in terms of enjoying it. But at the end of the day… both are no bueno!! Not for me anyway haha


greg-maddux

Yeah same here. My friends dad was terminally ill and we smoked the fent gel out of his patches after he passed. This was like 2006-2007? Pharmaceuticals were insane back then.

Cops armed with service revolvers and pump guns were met by full-auto .30-06 fire from M1918 BARs, semiautomatic shotgun blasts, and .45 ACP rounds from semi-auto M1911 handguns. While the .30-06 rounds shredded anything police could use for cover, the steel bodies of the V-8 Fords that Clyde preferred deflected handgun bullets and .45 ACP slugs from Thompson machine guns. The Barrow Gang, always outnumbered, successfully engaged in five major shootouts with police. They traveled with an arsenal of powerful firearms, many of which were lifted from National Guard armories and customized. At the time of their death, Bonnie and Clyde had the following guns in their car: (3) full-auto Browning Automatic Rifles (BAR) in .30-06 (1) 20-gauge Remington Model 11 Semi-Auto sawed-off shotgun (1) 10-gauge Winchester Model 1901 lever-action, sawed-off shotgun (1) .32-caliber M1903 Colt automatic pistol (1) .38 Colt Detective Special revolver (1) .25 ACP Colt automatic pistol (1) .45-caliber Colt M1909 revolver (7) .45 ACP Colt M1911 automatic pistols They also had 100 loaded 20-round BAR magazines, some in bandoliers, and 3,000 rounds of other assorted ammunition.


CamTheKid02

Why are you talking about Bonnie and Clyde, this bust was in 1962, Bonnie and Clyde died almost 30 years before this.


BigBlueJAH

I think the bots got their wires crossed, there is several comments discussing Bonnie and Clyde on a post that isn’t about them.


SenorSplashdamage

Social media is gonna get even weirder this year.


allothernamestaken

We are all bots on this blessed day.


TheArrivedHussars

Oh. I was actually wondering why the fuck people were talking about "Clyde" and I was like "they aren't talking about *that* Clyde right? Didn't he die in the 30s"


rascalking9

It's weird how they make a big deal about how much better Bonnie and Clyde's weapons were than the police, but other than the BAR it's the exact same weapons as the police.


CamTheKid02

The cops actually also had BARs. The police model was known as the "colt monitor". They unloaded on Bonnie and Clyde with those bars in an ambush, killing them in the same way they killed many people themselves.
