White Lines

A silly thought occured to me in the shower this morning. (try to
supress the potty humor) I was watching some TV last night and the
inevitable 1 pound bag of cocaine shows up. Why it is inevitable I am
not sure. But that is a different post and rant.

Some one pierced the side of the bag with their pen knife key chain,
tapped a small pile on the tip of the blade and then tasted it. He
nodded to his partners acknowledging the stuff in the bag was what
they were after.

We have all seen the scene play out in countless variations in equally
countless programs and movies.

My issue is how do so many people know what cocaine TASTES like. Is
there some mirror version of wine tasting where cocaine users first
taste the stuff BEFORE checking the "nose" of the vintage? I am not
sure what to make of it...

The family returns from WI this weekend. It will be very nice to have
them back home.

Back in grade school--too many years ago to note--the DEA agent that came to educate the students on what the illegal substances would burn some pot to give the youngsters a sense of the smell, and
when it came to cocaine, said that if one took a small 'taste' of the powder, and if it numbed the tongue or mouth it was the real deal...
not exactly a tasting...but it's become a stereotypical tv/movie action likely rooted in those classroom visits of many, many years ago.
