He said he traps, works on the “set”, so it’s common down there for the dope dealers to use the junkies to sell the dope on the block(set) because the dealers don’t really care if junkies get locked up, they’re expendable. The addicts will get some free bags for selling the dope. Say for every bundle they sell they get one bag out of the bundle or something.

@@ready_to_destination True but I've seen other interview channels like yours where they've interviewed a few people that have run off with the drugs and now they have the dealers out in the neighborhood the addict is basically stuck in looking to seriously harm them. There is a lot of money being made and they're serious about their money. The addict has somewhat of an incentive to not steal so they can keep their habit going but like you said they are not the most trustworthy... In regards to being afraid of the addicts snitching on them...I'm sure it's a very loose relationship, the addict probably only knows the dealer by a street name and doesn't know where they live. But yes I'm sure that's always a concern for dealers of being told on.

Nope! When he asked if there’s resources, he blamed the way they run it. When he asked about the need exchange it was just cuz he knows “I don’t wanna allocate any money towards anything other than drugs”. And finally when he was asked “do you ever see yourself leaving Kensington” he hesitated and said “umm…”. I never once hear an addict say “please get me out of here take me now I’ll do anything to get out of here” Remember they’re always scamming always their brain is wired to figure out how to get something out of you with the possibility of repeating getting something out of you. If you’ve ever truly tried to help someone you love addicted then you know what I am talking about Every word that they speak every action they take every premeditated thought is about getting money to bring to their dealer.

Couldn’t be more miss informed. There are plenty of addicts who will do anything to give up there addictions. Spent time in rehab with many of them. I myself left my state just to get into a rehab a soon as I can and I wasn’t the only one who had travelled from afar to be there. A bunch gave up there kids to relatives for for months to be there. Trust me there are plenty of addicts who give up everything to be in rehab and do whatever it takes. Some people it takes longer then others to get to this point and unfortunately some don’t ever get to this point. Or course interviewing current addicts on the street you’ll hear excuses. Go interview people in rehab and see what they gave up to be there and what changes there making on the outside to stay clean. Then you’ll get an idea
