Question - What is the foil for?
 
I thought I would get all my friends as SR to chime in on this question.

Recently, I have noticed that the foil lining of most of my AH's empty cigarette packs is missing. Why is that?

He said he has recently done some cocaine but I think, based on how much money he's spent, it's really crack and he's just making it sound "better".

Is there something you can use the foil for with crack? I don't to confront with without being able to be somewhat educated so when he tries to BS me, I'll know it.

Thanks guys.

I know some use the foil to heat up various drugs with a candle and spoon. You'd be surprised at the household items that are "re-usable" such as chore boys, pen barrels, qtips, duct tape, plastic jugs etc.

heck, my son made a bong/water pipe thing out of an APPLE once.

Hi Cats!

Yes, so I'm finding out about the household items. The aluminum foil is sorta a no-brainer but the foil from inside a cigarette pack is paper too so certainly it is flammable.

Do you suppose he takes it out to wrap his drugs in? Is that stuff usually sold loose? I would think it would come packaged.

From what I seen it could be use for crack. I have seen pipes made out of water bottles with foil on top.

You could probably google it.

But really it doesnt matter what type of drug it is.. he's using something.

hugs,

when I smoked crack, I used the foil to wrap the crack up in. It comes in little rocks, and most dope boys sell them by the rock, so you put the crack in the foil to "protect" it from crumbling. My cigarette packs NEVER had foil.

I would also take the plastic "bag" off the cigarettes for the same purpose, but it made too much noise when I was trying to hide it from the cops by rattling.

Sorry, but this doesn't sound good.

Hugs and prayers!

i made a pipe out of an apple once. and a soda can.

not a crackhead, but i know foil is mighty useful for many reasons... i use my cigarette pack foil for spitting my gum into. i should really be spitting my cigarettes into my gum wrappers. or something.

That cracked me up. Thanks Emimly!

Oh, please don't misunderstand. I agree that he shouldn't be using anything! Wholeheartedly but when I confront him, I want to know what I'm talking about. He has the advantage of being able to out-talk me or out-smart me and when I come at him from a position on knowledge, he has a harder time denying stuff.

Thank you for the input. It makes sense. We are supposed to "talk" tonight cause I ran him out the other night when I found a pawn ticket for $24.00 - just enough to buy some crack with I suppose. I will check his cigarretes when he comes over.

MM........ before you check his cigarettes..... or talk with him about it...... what is YOUR plan?

it's easier to re-wrap your second dose in that foil, rather than put back in a little baggie
