“The good stuff”

[Diamonds02]

When people say “I want the good stuff”, I think they are referring to COCAINE.

Am I the only one?

So yeah……

Sparkly dank nugs is what springs to mind as far as I'm concerned.

Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, these days.
Dextroamphetamine caps*, or 'Lumbo Gold, when I was in HS, depending on whether it was speed or MJ.

It depends on the context. Coke has never been in my context as 'the good stuff'.

*I always opened up the caps and snorted the stuff out of the capsule body. Hits you MUCH faster, that way.

These days you have to crush the bbs inside first.

Oh, yeah, there's also Basmati Rice, if you're talking rice.
Prime Rib, if you're talking steak.
Saranac Black and Tan, if you're talking local beer, around here.
Luksusowa*, if you're talking vodka.
etc. etc. etc. It's all context dependent.

*A brand of imported Polish potato vodka, pronounced 'loooksooosova'.

Those existed in the late '70s, too. We always called those 'Christmas Trees' because of the colors. I never bothered to crush and snort them, I'd just open the capsule and swallow the BBs. The time the jell cap took to dissolve was what slowed down the absorption. They'd hit a little slower than snorting the powder, but they'd hit you pretty quick, just fine...

Yeah, I was one hell of a 'speed-freak' in the late '70s'...

Wiki link for Jamaica Blue Mountain, which describes why it's 'the good stuff'. The only coffee I ever make these days is either pure Blue Mountain, or a blend of 1/4 JB, 1/4 Hawaiian Kona, and 1/2 Kenya Java (no wiki page available for that stuff). All made from beans ground by me, just before perking. The blend is just because it's almost as good as pure JBM, but about 1/3rd the price. [still costs several times the price/cup as Folgers.]

I don't have any particular associations for the phrase "the good stuff" but it sure isn't cocaine, or any other stimulant. Stims don't give me a thrill. I'm more of an LSD afficionado if I want over-the-top intense experience.

I have way more knee-jerk fondness for downer-type substances than the upperish kind. I could get way too fond of opiates, for instance. But perhaps for that very reason, not inclined to seek them out.

"the good stuff" makes me think of high-quality drugs, but no one single drug in particular. you can buy the cheap shit that isn't that potent and therefore goes faster, or you can buy "the good stuff", where one hit or one bump or one ((insert drug measurement here)) has got ya for the entire evening and then some.

[Random Precision]

For me, the "good stuff" generally refers to top shelf liquor reserved for wealthy patrons, not the cheap swill that gets watered down for happy hour.

Which is odd, since I don't even drink anymore.

No, they want The White Stuff.

Relax, it's Weird Al

Right now I’m imagining nugs glistening underneath a full moon.

Yes. I eat basmati rice at least three times a week.

It’s all coffee to me.

Well that sounds horrifying. I haven’t fucked around with coke or crystal meth. But damn, I love the softer stuff. Therapeutic reasons of course. It makes me feel/act like a normal person. The non-therapeutic stuff would be Red Bull mmm mmm….

Speaking of softer stims. I remember an (ex) friend complaining that his shrink prescribed him Straterra and said he wanted the good stuff (Adderall or Vyvanse).

And referring to Alky’s earlier post…

I’d say if you’re a person without ADHD, I’d say fuck the Addies and Rit and skip straight to coke. Cuz it’s….the good stuff!




Title of OP is (kind of) a song reference anyway….
