Assume it'll be the same with candles, straws, needles, elastic bands to boost veins, chairs while cooking the heroin, small tins to keep your stash, and matches to get the candles going. It's tough being a junkie while shopping in Britain - be warned.

Purify it? I thought it was just to liquify it for injection?
Not that I expect any better from the Daily Fail.

A spokeswoman said: 'The self-scan system recognised the spoon's SKU as one for a knife. This had now been rectified.
You have to show ID to buy a butter knife in the UK?

What the f*ck is wrong with the UK? Has the nanny state mentality trickled down so far to the masses that we now have the general public seeing drug users, pedos and "scary people" hiding behind every corner, every shrub...lurking...waiting to pounce on their victims?

I take a medication to treat heart failure that I have to show picture ID, sign for it, and smile for the camera. WTF? It's based on a South American snake venom, and three pills is a lethal dose. Who the hell is going to abuse that? But I get put through the ringer every time I renew the script. If they weren't so expensive, I'd leave a few laying around at work, just daring some tweeker to take them.

no, but you have to be over 16 to buy kitchen knives (anything sharp enough to actaully cut anything).

Happened to me too. I had a full grocery order too. I left the store and left everything at the checkout. Went somewhere else instead. I'm not sure if that's a store policy or a state law.
Either way, the idea that it's okay to track people who might do something wrong is worrying. They're slowly paving the way toward tracking everyone all the time.

Well, yes. You could quite conceivably murder someone with a butter knife if you were willing to wait a while and had nothing better to do.
And considering the Yesterday channel is clogged up with Antiques Roadshow repeats and crappy historical dramas as opposed to the halfway entertaining documentaries it
used
to have before it was reduced to a mewling, degenerate abominable pigfark miserable shadow of the History Channel
THAT'S FAIRLY GODDAMN LIKELY.

I understand the part about using water to cook smack in a spoon, but I've never heard the bit about citric acid. How do junkies get that? Do they just use a drop of oj or something? Or is the article just shiat?

at £1.19 ($1.87) for six spoons either they were really cheap or plastic. I'm not sure how you cook up heroine with plastic spoons.

A six pack of spoons cost £1.19? That's pretty cheap for metal spoons. Sure she wasn't buying these?

Anything can be a weapon or used for something it was not initially designed for.
Nanny state indeed. "We must protect the children".... Until the 2020 Protect Children Act, when we bubble wrap every child who pops out. And store them till they are 18...no wait 21...no...25...shiat. whatever the dang age is that you are an "adult"

Teaspoon makes for a pretty small hit.
Lemon salt works as citric acid, but ya gotta be careful how much.

PSEUDOEPHEDRINE WILL BE ILLEGAL

UK junkies must be doing ok. I doubt a US junkie is going to the store to "buy" anything.
in TN you have to show id, they scan it, record an track your purchases of pseudoephedrine. guess what? there is still meth everywhere. hell, it would probably be easier to just go buy the meth than to buy the pseudoephedrine.

Heroin - which comes in powder form - is put in the spoon with water and citric acid and heated with a lighter to rid it of any impurities.

Also, mirrors (or anything with a flat surface), razor blades, straws, and your cash back if it includes any bills. They could be rolled up after all.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a farking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of farking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fark you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing farking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, farked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
