Well, recentley I had to learn a hard lesson: Don't trust people. I know most of us would like to think that we're safe trusting people, but there's two simple truths that we should all accepted: People aren't nice, and they only do things that benefit themselves. So, what happened, you might ask? I have two friends. They're really close, and they've been hooking me up with weed for the last two months. Well, last night I gave one of them, Ben, $25 to get me a 1/4 of mersh. Well, all his dealers were fresh out. So, he had to get some through a mutal friend of ours named Darrel. He calls me and tells me he has the stuff, and tells me he could only get an 8th of chronic. I say, "That's fine, weed is weed." Today, Darrel calls me up and tells me that last night Ben bought a quarter from him, saying it was for me, and ripped an entire 8th of it and told him that he'd give it to me saying it was green and all he could find. I got ripped off. Now, it woudl'nt be so bad if it was just this one time, but this has been happening for a while, and I'm just now seeing it. For the past two weeks I've been giving $25 to Chris, my other friend, to get a quarter of mersh. And every time, he gives me an 8th of chronic telling me it's all he could get. So, right now, I've paid two fucks' ways to get an ounce of weed for free. There's a lesson that I learned from this, and I want to pass it on to any new smokers that might be reading. Don't give money to anyone unless they have the weed and the scale right in front of you. People only do things to benefit themselves, and they're not nice. They may say it's because they like to be nice to people, but the possibility that they're getting free weed off you is MUCH higher. If you don't want any hostiility between yourself and them, just say you want to meet the guy for yourself, and take your money. If they say he's not cool with new people, tell your friend that you don't want anything to do with them, then. Dealers want your business, they won't reject a purcahse. Now, these are all common sense things, but some people like me that like to believe you can trust people get fooled like this much too often. But, when you're dealing weed, never trust a middle-man. That's all.
Same damn thing happened to me once..I paid $50 for about.. an 1/8th.. oh well, it was a hard lesson learned, but I learned from it. Now my weed's always weighed out in front of me
the only time i was ripped off was when i got 3grams (3 dimes, or wahtever u call them), it was the first time i had bought weed myself from a dealer, and he gave me 3 grams, but it was fresh off the tree, and was leafy, so when it dried, it lost heaps of size and weight lol. anyway now i can judge. anyway, the general thing is, it shoudltn matter how much profit the midleman is getting, only the amount of weed yhou get yourself. if your getting the right amount of weed for your money, it doesnt matter if the middleman got a discount and jsut took the extra stuff. how else will middlemen make profit? honestly. if this 8th of cronic was worth the money u paid, then you werent ripped off. if it was short, then why didnt u rrealise that he was getting your money? it doesnt matter that he was getting a quarter , if u get waht you pay for on standard street prices, then the middleman is jsut being smart and finding the best ways to make money while still delivering the amount paid for. if yuve been getting it from them for TWO MONTHS, yud think someone wud have pointed out that you were paying too much. but if this 8th actually costs 25 bucks, then deal with it. middlemen often get discounts anyway. for that very reason - to get a surplus.
Makes me wonder how cheap it really gets when you go far enough up.. I'm talking about straight from the greenhouse/whatever deals.
ya man i remember wen i first started smoking i was paying 15$ for a dime of shwag lol i was such a newb but o well ive learned over time
Everybodies had that happen to them. The trick is, dont go outside your dealer, less hes getting flakey, then you go to his dealer, but KNOW you will need to buy in more supply. No more nickle dime shit. O's and QPs
i have found people like that all the time. they think they can pinch whatever they want just because they get it for you. i would try to go straight to the source and skip these guys that are snaking you. but like Dark said, you are going to have to save up and buy in bulk. good luck
Man, that blows. Its happened to everyone. You should check your friend on that and see what the hells going on, especially if your getting ripped off half of what you purchased. Down here... that dude would get shot. wierdness...
yeah if its really chronic, 25 an 8th is a deal! but you dont have to buy in bulk to find a legit dealer.
Word man, same shit happened to me once, the first time i tryed to buy weed, a friend (well sort of) basically just took my cash and never made with the reefer.
people that shmay you arent your friends, they just want free weed from you... we all learn our lessons in life... we all been ripped off before... watch out... get yer own scale and bring it.
waht the hell is with you people? some people need to make a profit in order to survive. if you cant be bothered going to a dealer then u r going to have a hard time actually getting a deal or discount. ive only been the middleman once, i actually still managed to be generous while still making a huge profit, but jsut like people dont give free services to their friends whenever they rock by to the doctor or lawyer or soemthing, middlemen cant jsut do serice for free, unless its a special thing like a virgin toke or something. jsut lay off middlemen, if they give u waht you paid for, then theyve done NOTHING wrong, and u have absolutely nothign to complain about caus yur too lazyass to go buy form teh dealer yourself. so stop the bitchin wud yuse
the only advice i can give in this situation is meet the dealers and bring your own scale. most will be glad to measure it out right infront of ya. **but there are no rules in the dope game, not like you can call the cops if someone rips you off
I've been ripped off a few times... Got laced shit quite a bit, and just last week my dealer gave me the chintziest dime bag I've ever seen. He said that is was all he had on him, but he smokes me on doobies often, so it doesn't matter much to me.
