When crack smokers ride the T
Here’s a delightful tale of what it’s like to ride the T in Boston…
This past Monday, my boyfriend had just finished a brief shift at his bar (he’s a cook!) and headed to the Mass. Ave Orange line stop. He paid his fare and once on the platform, he saw only one other man occupying a nearby bench.
He noticed the man had two lit cigarettes sitting on the bench. He immediately recognized that for one man to have two lit cigarettes just burning meant only one thing - he was preparing ashes for smoking crack. Okay, I’ll admit I have no idea about the steps one must take in order to smoke a crack rock. I plead complete ignorance here. As I was told by my boyfriend, if you are using a homemade pipe to smoke your crack, you mix it with the ashes so the actual crack doesn’t melt away too quickly. Like the old saying goes, you learn something new everyday!
Anyway, my boyfriend sat mystified as this guy prepared his pipe. Even more astounding, as the man lit his pipe and smoked it, he opted to face the stairs instead of turning his back to the wall. It’s obvious he didn’t care who watched him smoke his crack.
The train arrived and the crack smoker gathered his belongings, and casually strolled onto the same car as my boyfriend. My boyfriend said that for the remainder of the train ride, the man sat sweating and rocking, all geeked out.
After hearing this story, all I can imagine is some innocent Northeastern U freshman from some small town in, let’s say, Vermont spending his first week in Boston and deciding to take the Orange Line. Surprise!
until the Patriots play the Bills!
So since you BF knows so much about crack smoking, is he a heavy duty crack smoker or just casual? Inquirring Minds want to know!
He’s just very street-savvy.

Great story:)
Perhaps the guy’s just British…
Anyone attempting to travel on our rail network finds out quickly that hard drugs are almost compulsory if you wish to make it further than three stops. Travel sober and lose your mind…
I’ve found this post to be a gold mine for crack smoking theory information. I’m from Australia, so don’t know much about the whole crack thing. Previously my crack smoking studies have been restricted to skits from the Chapelle show.
I’ve never actually witnessed someone smoking crack in person but my boyfriend was so shocked at this man’s complete disregard for anything, he couldn’t take his eyes away from it.
The worst I’ve seen is a guy standing up in the back of a tram ‘chroming’ (the spray paint thing). I was actually impressed that he kept his balance through the whole thing.
does yer bfriend suck cock for crack? I bet u do you fuckin whore!!
She probably has done a line of coke off a niggers dick before, you know how these young cunts are nowdays…
Some junkie once asked me for some ashes from my cigarette. I didn’t understand what he needed it for, until I read your post. You learn something new everyday, indeed
