Buying in the ghetto?

my hook ups have either moved, or have been out for a bit, and im trying to find some bud... would it be a good idea to go ask some of those folks slingin on the block... lol.

i mean if they dont have it they're not getting the money, if i see it and its good yeah, but ive heard so much shit about people giving the money and getting jipped.

good idea or nah?

 

i have no idea man, but be careful!!! i'd be nervous making that approach in a sketchy area...maybe on a beach with a lot of chill people but on a corner....makes me nervous

but you never know, maybe i am making a bad assumption.

i bought rolls in the ghetto once, went w/a fellow employee and shit we literally had a gun pulled on us when dude opened the door...bastard was obviously insanely paranoid, but dude paranoia makes people dangerous don't forget that.

good energy to you, if you do decide to follow through

 

I wouldn't do it, cops could be riding up and down in unmark cars to bust someone

 

Cops are a bigger concern and I've always gotten ripped off when I've tried to score from the hood. Like they no they won't see you again so they always offer you two thirds of what you should get

 

"i mean if they dont have it they're not getting the money, if i see it and its good yeah, but ive heard so much shit about people giving the money and getting jipped."

I don't really think you understand that if someone wants your money they will take it.

Yeah, you can not do something stupid to get ripped off, but, if they are willing to hurt you for the cash, they'll get it.

Anyway, I'd say that bud isn't worth putting yourself in physical danger. I'd also say that there are safe ways to get weed in a bad neighborhood.

Use your judgement.

 

If you walk about a mile up the street from my house it turns into a ghetto. I've been thinking the same thing only I thought I'd try to get some heroin. It's probably not a good idea though not only are there cops and dangerously paranoid dealers. But the ghetto just isn't a good place to hang around in anyway. Though all the boarded up houses look pretty cool.

 

whatchu mean the ghetto?

That's what I mean

 

yea man if its a real hard core ghetto Id stay away. Cops are heavy and Ive had someone get seriously pissed off because I wanted to see the quality of their shit.
There are areas that are ghetto, but not THE ghetto that aren't as bad

 

If you don't know the area; it may not be a good idea.

I'm a walker and I've been asked numerous times "whachu want?", while passing up some shady looking people walking through the main street of a bad neighborhood. I couldn't imagine actually buying from any of those people, and I could easily see them leading me into an alley and mugging me if I said yes.

That being said, one time I was in Atlantic City and my friend was out shopping the boardwalk alone, and came back with a gram of weed that he got for $5 and two cigs from a guy that initially came over and asked him if he could bum a cig.

 

It's going to be hard to find until the crop come is in about a month, then everyone will have green bud.

Stay away from people you don't know regardless if its the ghetto or the country club.. The man makes his living busting those who are not careful.

I got mugged tryin to buy some weed from some hoodrats once. Knife to my throat. Not fun. The trick is to meet people who act like slangin dope aint their real thing. Meet a pothead with actual interests and hobbies and maybe even a legitimate form of income. Then you should be safe to buy.

 

Yea. I've had some trouble finding pot lately. I've decided to just wait until I meet someone (hopefully when I get a job) that can help me out. Potheads are better to buy off because they never treat you like just a customer, more like they're helping a fellow smoker, and they aren't pushy, sketchy, nor will they usually rip you off.

I used to know a really cool who lived next door to me. I used to go over to buy pot and he always ended up giving me free whiskey and beer. He wasn't a pusher at all. He'd always look me in the face and say, "I'm not a dealer man," then he'd hand me the goods. That was just his way of letting me know he was helping me out, not dealing. He didn't sell to anyone else, he'd just sell to me out of his own stash. Then we'd jam.

 

its just marijuana man.. holy shit..

Once I was in down town Pittsburgh down the street on Penn Ave, I just exited Westin hotel as I was attending a communications seminar .. This black dudes seen me rolling a cigarette "yo my man can I get some papers, trying to blaze this weed before work" I give him some papers/ about a 1/4 of them and he gives me over a gram of good weed.. I never seen the dude in my life before..

then I went home and smoked his laced weed and killed my whole family of squirrel..

 

That's nuts...


It reminded me of something though. One morning when I was in grade 11 I went to school like normal. That morning I had just put on whatever clothes were closest to me on the floor and left. In first class there was an announcement that there was going to be a lockdown next period. That means classes get locked, no one leaves and we get lined up along the halls in front of one another (it felt like the holocaust, only not nearly as bad) while the cops bring in drug sniffing dogs that sniff out everyone.

So I'm out having a smoke at first break, but I have no smokes. This guy who the year before had stolen two cd's and 20 dollars from me shows up late. I go to pull my lighter out of my sweater pocket and I feel a lump. I pull it out and it's a gram in some saran wrap. I start shittin bricks! So I go up to that jerk I was talking about (we knew each other through siblings) and I ask him for a smoke. I offer him the gram. He says, "Why are you giving me a gram?" and I say, "Well, man I know you stole my money last year, I'm out of fucking smokes, Give me 5 smokes and I won't bother you about paying me for this or the twenty bucks. I haven't had a smoke all day." He laughs, takes the gram and gives me 5 smokes.

After break we had the lockdown and he got caught with a gram in some saran wrap in his pants pocket. He was scared the german shepard was gonna bite his crotch area. I laughed good. He got suspended for three days and got put on "watch" after that.

 

lol@ this kid askin whether or not to go buy weed from the ghetto...

 

I've gotten lots of very good drugs from the "ghetto" and I've met some very nice and respectful individuals.

The main thing I've learned is, wherever you are, you have to make people feel comfortable with your presence and act like you're comfortable being there, but not overly comfortable. Basically....don't be timid and jumpy, but still be on-guard and act like you know what you're doing.

 

On some real, its not that bad. Just don't act like a punk bitch and your good most of the time. Ask to see the bags first, don't give away your money til you know the bag is secure, etc. etc. I buy weed in the ghetto all the time, but then again I know most of the people I buy from. I have bought off of people I don't know in the hood before, and its sketchy but like I said if you act like a bitch ass whiteboy from the Hamptons you getting your shit jacked. What I suggest for finding dealers which always works for me is sitting outside a gas station or corner store that isn't hot and wait for people to come outside with blunts and blunt wraps and all that and ask if they know where to get bud. It works for me all the time.

 

Probably the most important piece if info in this thread.

Definitely don't act like stereotypical "whiteboy" from the suburbs, don't walk through the hood acting like you're nervous or scared, and don't draw too much attention to yourself. Don't act "out of place", basically. Be casual, but vigilant.

 

I agree to a point with the whole show no fear thing.
Ive bought a lot of drugs in the ghetto. At the time I was young and stupid and had no fear.
I guess for the amount of times I did it, I had very few problems. Most of the problems I did have were because I walked into some shit that was already going down.
I did have problems because I had blue (baby blue) on in a red area and when I wanted to check out the quality of what I was buying. I have heard of a lot of people having problems when they questioned quality.
Ive also know a few people that left their nice car parked somewhere and when they came back 5 min later parts or all of it were missing.
The reality is, no matter how much you act-look like you belong there you can still have some shit come up.
Being that the OP is worried about going into the ghetto Im guessing he is gonna show it when he gets there.
Ive went to get shit with 2 males and when we got off the subway they got so scared they refused to leave the subway station.
