Prostitutes have been known to complain that they are the second place priority for many visiting Americans.

"After we got to the room, it wasn't me he wanted, but he wanted me to go into the street to buy drugs," said one woman echoing a continuing complaint.

That or a similar scenario may have been what happened Tuesday at the Hotel Morazán on Avenida 1 at Calle 7. A North American tourist turned up dead in a room.

The man was informally identified as Michael Silver, 41. An employee discovered his body about 2 p.m. An overdose is suspected, said the Fuerza Pública.

An autopsy will give the official word.

Silver had been coming to Costa Rica for several years, said some who knew him at the hotel.

If he was a cocaine user, Silver might be the victim of the changing patterns of drug smuggling. Because of heavy police pressure and new techniques at the Nicaraguan border, moving cocaine north is not as easy as it used to be.

In addition, drug smugglers pay helpers here in cocaine. That is why so many under employed fishermen are anxious to supply fuel, food and water to passing drug boats.

This means more and more cocaine, some of very high purity, is entering the Costa Rican market, In fact, the country is awash in cocaine in spite of dealers efforts to convert much of it to easily marketed crack.

Then, too, there is no consumer protection agency keeping watch on the local cocaine market. Dealers frequently cut cocaine with powders like lidocaine. Since tourists are not likely to be repeat customers, they most often get the adulterated drug.

Too much adulteration, and the tourist never will be a customer again.

I dont have much to say about this except there might be a need for some low level chemist work in the valley. If they had only gone on to the net they could find out how to cut coke and or cook crack without losing their clientle. Literally!

"Crack Kills" In more ways than one.

By the way.

Have they ever found that coke that was hijacked from the Po Po two weeks ago?

I don't have any info on the cocaine trade here except to say that it's cheap and very available. I do have a few stories though regarding its impact.

A friend (female) and her boyfriend came down here from my old home town, ostensibly to visit Costa Rica and see the country. They spent their first three days pretty much shut up in their hotel room, powdering their noses. When they did emerge and come to visit us, they spent about an hour here before they said their goodbyes and I assume went back to their stash.

Another home boy came down and was theoretically going to look at some property to invest in storage units. He ended up on a binge of cocaine and over-the-counter codeine, along with plenty of alcohol and some other drugs. Needless to say even after 3 trips he hasn't seen a single piece of property yet.

Case three is a monger I met down here who was living here and doing his business by phone to the USA. He ended up spending all his money on coke and left the country because he couldn't handle his business any more.

The strength, availability and low cost here make it tempting. I am fortunate in that I flat don't like the stuff. I am paranoid enough and my dick can get limp all on it's own, thank you. But it's one of the ways Costa Rica is going to find your weakness if you have one. Sex is probably one of the least harmful vices you can have down here, but if you have a weakness for falling in love, you'll probably pay a steep price unless you are an unusually good judge of character.

But hey, let's not be negative here! :lol:

cocaine is the last thing i want to find in CR. thank god i already have that out of my system.
i'm with bilko. pulling back curtains in dark rooms and just general overall paranoia are not my idea of a good time.
not saying everyone who uses it would do that but i certainly know thats where i would end up
i was shocked at how cheap it is. and pure apparently

Cocaine cost this poor bastard a lot more than a Telemarketing Company or Real Estate dreams.

He may of died of a heart attack or stroke brought on by the cocaine. Happens all the time. I knew of a guy some years ago who was 40 and very fit. He was into Xcountry skiing and bicycling. For whatever reason he got into snorting toot and eventually had a heart attack. Here's a link from cocain.org.

Oye Viejo can you imagine the reaction of a family or family member being notified that their loved one has died in a foreign country that they loved to visit very often for some reason that no one could ever really understand.

Oh and by the way there were drugs involved. Possibly causing said loved ones death?

Do they tell the family everything or do they sugar coat the reality?

Very sad set of circumstances my friends.

Be careful out there dawg!

Slim hopefully this is not what caused his death.

Hopefully the Autopsy might state another cause of death.

Possibly heart disease, congenital heart failure, aneurism, stroke.

Anything but the infamous OD.

Surely "Coke"; however consumed didn't help.

The coca it destroys the heart lining gradually and then it's too late the heart lining is so thin it just burts wide open with regular blood pressure even. Not to mention so addictive I Xtremely paranoid too.

Maradona the famous Argentine soccer player has only about 40% heart capacity from all the coke he did and he'll never gain it back unless with a transplant (risky in itself).

I think that if you died from an OD in a foreign country that the officials would level with the family. That would surely dump a great big emotional burden on the grief stricken family.

On the other hand, if you died of a massive heart attack on top of a hot chica in a foreign country that the authorities would omit mentioning to the family exactly what prompted the heart attack.

In Vegas, they tell the pro's to just leave or prop the guy at the door in front of his room so the family is none the wiser about that hot chica causing the heart attack. :wink:

PURA VIDA!


PS I hope he was not a CRT brother.
