As another poster said this hasn't been really out there since the 90's. And to see that it was mainly at certain subway stations like Jamaica Ave (last stop of the E train).

But I suppose if you live in Brooklyn you see it more often. Queens never had it that bad because the home ownership is higher which has somewhat of a correlation with lower drug addiction rates.

I haven't ran into a druggie until recently. Coming out of a holiday party and taking the subway late at night wasn't a good idea. Ran into somebody that was virtually like a zombie from a video game. Luckily the person wasn't violent.

This was a common occurrence back in the day. There was heroin on every corner in the East side and many many people were strung out. We used to have a saying: when we would see someone bent over nodding at a 90 degree angle or better we called it "sucking toe." Just a little bit further and they'd have their own toes in their mouth.

Sad thing to say but I witnessed OD's many times.
