Angelesca had dabbled in later years but I never heard him called a junkie except on this board. Lines of coke are basically accepted in Boston for 40-50 years and there doesnt seem to be any real oldtimer anti-drug culture here...
Ya Rossetti was a dope shooter... and I’ve heard angelesco and giangrande were far from dabblers... like I said I heard when billy was locked up in Shirley I think it was that he had his little squad dragging 20 bags of commissary to the blacks or whoever to trade for dope and he was smoking crack out of a dried out chicken bone while locked up.. his f Hes doing that inside I could only imagine what he was doing in the streets . I give him props though for taking sentences on the chin and kicking in jail...

It might all be true. I dont know. Times can change. When Angelesco was running around just north of the city from the late 90's to 2010 at least I dont think it was true. After that who knows...sounds like you might, Chubby, so i dont dismiss it. Guy was scary as fuck. You ever meet him?

SF/Colombo member Sebastian Nani was allegedly a heroin addict. As was his associate Pasquale Sircausa.

So im wondering - how often were MADE men actually doing heroin??


Jerry Asaro is a past fiend i belive.

And ik Meyer Lansky after his kid died he got addictd to heroin and luciano helped get him off
Jerry’s dad, Vinny was a junkie long time ago and switched to booze and gambling millions away.

I've mentioned on another thread I'm a recovering addict who used to watch peter zuccarro pop pimples with his heroin needle. 35 years later I've still never met anyone who could handle withdrawal like a man. Je was clean by the time he flipped. Coke is not physically addocting and usually doesn't turn u I to an untrustworthy weasel like opiates does. I was fine doing some lines , managing bars, but as soon as I got into opiates I lost everything including the respect I once had in my neighborhood
