Personal stories on use and abuse From Cocaine to Heroin to Robbery to PrisonBy Daniel GenisNew York is so diverse that one’s downfall can feel like evidence in an ethnographic study. Back in the ’90s, the heroin to feed my addiction was supplied by Puerto Rican dealers on the Lower East Side. I copped weed from Jamaicans and coke up in Harlem. Tough gay Chelsea boys sold me GHB, a mad Russian provided MDMA and ketamine, and college hippies had acid.
