With only 12 shopping days until Christmas, I find this kind of information invaluable.

Damn, I knew there was another reason my brother just moved from NYC to New Jersey. So if its not the Armpit of the country anymore, is it the webbing between the toes of the country?

"The second watershed moment was 9/11. The U.S. ousting of the Taliban, which had ruthlessly suppressed poppy production, resulted in a 36-fold increase in Afghani poppy production from 2001 to 2003 according to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy." Is it true that the Taliban had been suppressing poppy production? Is it true that the U.S. ousted the Taliban?

I'm from New Jersey and I'm proud about it, I love the Garden State. I'm from New Jersey and I want to shout it, I think it's simply great. All of the other states throughout the nation may mean a lot to some; But I wouldn't want another, Jersey is like no other, I'm glad that's where I'm from. (source)

chowder: Is it true that the Taliban had been suppressing poppy production? Is it true that the U.S. ousted the Taliban? I can't figure if your being sarcastic here or not chowder so: Yes the Taliban was heavily suppressing poppy production and therefor heroin because they were attempting to suppress the mountain warlords. The warlords only serious source of funding was heroin. When we went into Afghanistan to get the terrorists we took down the government/Taliban which not only stopped the war they had going with the warlords but gave the warlords a great big power vacuum to grow into. Poppy production zoomed up over night and the general lawlessness of a war zone made smuggling a lot easier. And now you can apparently buy 95% pure heroin on the streets of New Jersey.

95% pure heroin is awesome. Sydney used to be up around there, but the severe shortages in recent years saw the ass drop out of the market, and suddenly people are cutting it with anything that won't cause instant death (and a couple of things that will...) Although of course I'd take this as the DEA focusing on the USA and the logic being 'it's the purest here, therefore it's the purest in the world'. I mean, it's 100% pure in some places, right? Or are they only talking about street-level retail in western countries? (Disclaimer: did not read every article) "When it comes to heroin, New Jersey and you are perfect together." That's gotta be the strangest quote ever from a methadone clinic official.

Thank you for the response Mitheral. Sometimes I hear or read that the Taliban is still controlling much of Afghanistan. I also hear they are no longer controlling Afghanistan. I feel like I don't have an informed opinion. I suppose I'm having a hard time understanding the state Afghanistan is in right now. I was being a little sarcastic and a little curious. I admit to not knowing a lot about the subject and appreciate your brief explanation.

Before New Jersey steals all our tourism, allow me to remind all heroin connaisseurs that we're still the only city in North America with a safe-injection clinic.

This is interesting. I'm from New Jersey (Middletown - 2 blocks from where Clerks was filmed) and go to school right outside of the state, and I remember a few years ago when there was a brief rash of young people (people my age and some in high school) dying of overdoses, and I became aware of some people in my group of friends who had started freebasing pretty heavily. It was a widely known secret that there was a lot of heroin going around between all the young hipsters in Red Bank. No wonder those two punks I knew had such a hard time getting clean. God I love Jersey.

"You can't buy any better heroin in the world than you can buy in New Jersey" as Morrissey says America Is Not The World. I'd be willing to bet that you could find a purer grade of heroin somewhere in the Middle East or South East Asia and considering these are the results of testing on heroin samples from 2002 I think it's a fair bet to say things might be a little different now.
