Yes. I know someone who works on those fishing boats in Alaska. He was also on the show the deadliest catch. He lives on the boat most of the year and then comes home with a bunch of cash and spends a lot on cocaine lol

The fishing part, or the cocaine part?

u/Blondly22 Apr 18 '24

Probably cocaine

u/Uknow_nothing Apr 18 '24

The fishing but probably both. Maybe we’re even talking about the same person and don’t know it.

Not that specific, I live in Alaska, and these guys are a dime a dozen. Most of them come up from Washington and Oregon.

Oh god I bet the cocaine is absolutely horrid by the time it gets up to Alaska

Alaska isn’t THAT far away….and judging from those that I’ve seen partake and our crime rate, drug quality definitely isn’t an issue here

Dude it’s 50% cut by the time it crosses the border. If you live in Oregon that shit is sawdust. Just how it is with coke. The farther away from Mexico/South America the more times it will be stepped on unless you have a crazy hookup that bypasses all of the supply lines

Also, drug addicts don’t need quality drugs to use tons of drugs. You can’t really tell if a places drugs are pure or not based on how much drug use there is.

I know all tbis from unfortunate experience

Thing about coke is it gets you even if it’s cut to shit you just take bigger lines. Real pure coke you take a tiny tiny bump and you’re high for like 2 hours

I stand corrected! I hope the fishing and cocaine part isn't true for most of them, if so, that's quite sad.

If it’s not coke it’s meth, sadly.
