Where To Buy Illegal Drugs in Atlanta


I had a new experience this weekend. I went to a concert on Friday night with a friend from Bucknell (yay Justin!) and some other people he met through the research program he's doing at Emory. After the concert, he and a friend of his (Dave) decided to walk me back to my apartment. We took the MARTA to North Ave., not realizing at the time that Midtown would have been closer. We left the station and walked for awhile down North. I wasn't really recognizing anything yet, but that wasn't surprising since I hadn't spent much time on the south end of campus (I live on the north end). So we turned in the general direction of campus down a well-lit street and kept going. A block or so later, a guy approached us and asked if we were shopping. We gave him sort of a funny look, and he explained..."you know, for the weed, ecstasy, crystal meth..." We cut him off and told him that no, that was not something we were interested in. He walked away, and called back to us, "You better watch out, you're in the 'danger zone'." At this point, we started to think we'd taken a wrong turn. We saw a woman walking toward us and asked her where Georgia Tech was. She gave us an incredulous look, and told us we were in the WRONG part of the city. We started retracing our steps, and on the way we passed an older man who commented, "Honor students," as he passed us. It would be safe to say that our presence in this neighborhood turned some heads as being a bit out of the ordinary. As it turned out we had gone the wrong way on North Ave. when we left the station. We started walking away from campus into the SE section of the city instead of toward campus in the NW. We finally got back to my apartment an hour and fifteen minutes after we had first left the MARTA station, and I drove my friends home. Being from a small midwestern town, I had never before been approached on the street and offered drugs. Not an experience that I am likely to forget soon!
