I think, place for drug consumption is meant here - flat of one of the
drug-addicts. They cook their drugs collectively in a pot and consume it them right there not outdoors, because the don't want to look for troubles with militsiya. Hope it helps. Good luck, Kajuco!

Comment: "Thanks. From the context, it seems more likely that it's referring to the use of the drug than just the buying of it."

buys (drugs) from one dealer
The speaker is talking about long-term addicts who're thinking about personal hygiene (and evidently afraid of catching disease or getting a bad break from bad drugs from unreliable sources) so buy stuff from one (reliable) source. That's my take.

Again, the example of the slang use variation.
Заморочка, заморачивать derive from a phrase морочить голову that literally means "misinform", "mislead" and has English equivalents such as "to play games with", "drive smb crazy with smth" or even "make smb fall for oneself". So, the language of streets, using it for its own purposes, transformed the meaning to be suitable for certain situations and register.
