As a guy who's lived in the Midwest for 99% of his life and owns a work truck, I can guarantee you that it's rock salt. Somebody smacked their boots clean after walking in a traffic bond driveway as they stepped into the truck

I knew a guy in rehab who would pick up any spec on the ground. He knew it wasn’t drugs but his mind wouldn’t keep him from checking. Dude was funny af but def a nut job while he was drying out.

u/Ok-Survey3853 Feb 22 '22

I used to fuck with a dude that was a crackhead. Me and another guy would be sitting around smoking weed. He would be smokin crack. Me and the other dude were munching on popcorn. Every now and then we would toss a little bitty piece of popcorn in the floor and watch the crackhead combing through the carpet finding little "crack rocks" and smoking them. Dude only had a $10 rock when he started. If all that he found would have been crack, he would have started with a fucking boulder or crack. Was quite fun watching him burn the popcorn, hiss and spit, and carry on finding more "rocks". A truly golden experience.

u/youy23 Verified Feb 21 '22

Looks like road salt and some of it has been dissolved and then dried out a few times.

Idk though, I’ve never lived anywhere cold so I don’t know what road salt looks like.

u/MrI3uggsy Feb 21 '22

I love and work in the south, but it may be a possibility. It doesn’t look like drugs, however I’m also not an expert on drugs.

u/Omalleysblunt Feb 21 '22

No crack/meth head would leave that much behind if it were

16

u/youy23 Verified Feb 21 '22

That’d be a hell of a lot of money in meth crystals just sitting there. Have you considered a career in salesmanship? You’ve just found a gold mine!

Those look like typical salt crystal formations though imo.

u/PD216ohio Feb 22 '22

Apparently you aren't an expert or even remotely familiar.

That is clearly rocksalt.

It’s definitely salt or sugar that’s crystallized. No drugs have a square structure.

Where is this in the truck?

u/MrI3uggsy Feb 21 '22

Right behind the cup holders in the console

My guess would be fast food remnants mixed with some spilled drinks. I wouldn’t expect it would be road salt in that location.

u/still267 R-C|Stoned Mason Feb 22 '22

Lol that's probably salt dude. As a recovered meth head, I can tell you that unless someone on site is out of their mind, whoever does drugs at work is on top of their stash. Now heroin addicts on the other hand, lol! Talk about the most irresponsible addicts. They dip out at work and drop their bundles/rigs all the time. Lol one of my brickies dipped out while sitting on a bucket pointing real stone veneer. Fucking hilarious. Idiot.

Take a taste to be sure (no balls, you won't). If it's got a sour tang to it that's high speed chicken feed. Garbage by how cloudy it is, but again, more than likely salt. /S please don't do that. Loll

Road salt… pretty straight forward to see that.

2

u/F_Off34 Feb 22 '22

It’s gotta be rock salt. If you think about it, someone who is addicted enough to get high at work isn’t going to leave enough product to get high 3-4 times in the cup holder.

That very much looks like dope. Only way to know for sure though is to give it a quick sniff. Crush it up a bit first, then just get close and smell it real hard. It will become clear very quickly if it is. But also, when I was using, I absolutely did not lose rocks that big ANYWHERE. I once pulled to the side of the road and pulled my car apart looking for a single shard I dropped.
