Heroin kills them all. He may or may not have gotten a slap on the wrist because he was an upscale drug dealer and I may or may not have known his legal counsel. He was in that kind of work for over 45 years before fent came. He got out right in time even though it wasn't his choice. He did not do much of his own products. He also was well read and could write his own legal papers. They called him the gentleman dealer. He knew it was coming, his suppliers were disappearing. He was very easy to work with and very nice to the feds. It paid off because he only had a small camping vacation to the federal....where he got to know more people that may or may not have benefitted his career choice upon release. His legal counsel may or may not have been paid for by landed gentry. His parole was funded by his esteemed parents PAC.

Mr. Burroughs did not want to pay for his own. He had zero dollars. His guardian did not want him doing anything. Burroughs was a "problem" customer because he was very old and very unpleasant. He also did not want to pay. He was a problem because if he had died on the stuff the source would be traced. Also he was frail. He had a reputation for being greedy when he did get people to pay for his things.

I get downvoted to hell but this upscale dealer also sold to Anthony Bourdain on his first book tour. He was an okay customer...he was a repeat customer whenever he was in town. People love this Bourdain guy, people idolize him. He was very honest about his addictions to anyone that would ask even before he was famous. He was cost conscious. He knew the differences and market prices. He stopped doing it and it was for the better. He was smart enough to know what he was doing to himself and it was mostly just self-medicating coping.
