I dont know any 'dealers' or 'stoners' and literally have no connections to weed or any other drugs for that matter, and i was wondering how one would go about finding some. I would like to hear some opinions about my 'plan' or 'idea' of how i plan on getting some connections, I live in the shady part of town, and when i go to walk down to my local 711 (or other buildings in that area) the path i take to get there has many people walking around that look like they would have some weed, I was thinking of just going up to one, and being like "Hey, I just moved into town, and dont have any connections, was wondering if you have any weed, or know somebody that does.." Then i would give him my cell number, and tell him to text me about it later.. The thing is, I'm only 16 (but i look a bit older for my age) And im not some expert about marijuana or anything, I dont want to be taken advantage of, or worse.. I dont want to get my ass kicked for going up to some random dude that i assumed did drugs.. haha! So, was just wondering if you all thought this was a decent idea, is this how other people get there connections? Then again, if you have any better way of going about this, please do tell! (Dont tell me to ask around, to people in my school, i literally know nobody in my school that does drugs, and i hang out with a completely different crowd of people)
I have no idea, honestly. Maybe find out where the hippies/neohippies. hang out and befriend them. You will have less of a chance of getting fucked over if you deal with hippies (generally..there are exceptions though).
i dont think a direct approach like that is a good idea. people are going to think you're there to narc them out. Your best bet is to make friends with a stoner and then ask to use his/her connection. I know you said you hang out with a completely different crowd at school but its not that hard to befriend a stoner. Weed brings people together like nothing else. Just pick out the most laid back kid in one of your classes and chances are he smokes pot. strike up a couple of conversations then ask if he wants to smoke one day. then ask if he knows where to get any...simple!
Some places, with some people, that would be the right approach. But not where you live. Gotta see their walk, and choose the right talk. If a stranger walks up and starts on a sermon, few people, especially ignorant people with a worldview limited to their 'hood, will sell them drugs. All you gotta do is ask if they like toking or if they know where the greens at. The formal shit is for formal settings. Don't carry lots of money, and don't flash lots of money. Green is your concern, and until you see their green they don't see yours. Don't get your shit jacked. If something feels too sketchy it is too sketchy, if there might be ten big dudes waiting to jump a lil' white boy in the abandoned building someone tells you to follow them into, there ARE ten big dudes waiting to jump a lil' white boy in that building. If you see someone smoking and they seem to be friendly, it's usually ok to ask. Same goes for cigs, as lowis griffin said, if she smokes she tokes. Light up a stoagie outside the store, strike up that "smokers conversation" that a cigarette so easily pulls you into, and inquire if anyone knows where green is, and wants to blaze some time.
Get a job at any telemarketing joint. There is ALWAYS drugs there. After working at the place I'm presently at, I learned EVERYONE here did drugs. I probably tried, for the first time, at least 10 new drugs when I started working. It's nuts, it seems like 3/4ths of the population smokes bud.
^Thats true. Or a job delivering pizza, or any restaurant job pretty much. I started smoking when I worked at a restaurant in high school...everyone in the service industry smokes. we used to fog out the walk in freezer..fun times.
I think the common trend here is to just get out there, no matter what exact methodology you use. After all, at least a third of the population smokes herb, cant be that hard to find a friendly-lookin one, right? Also, kinda like what roorshack was sayin, dont attempt to get more than a blunt your first time going through this person. It'll only end badly.
I'm sure if you went to a club/rave or whatever you could spark up plenty of conversation with people who want to sell you rolls but you could maybe ask if they know how to get weed while you're at it. That was a weird sentence.
Your plan isnt a bad one all in all, Ive done the same thing when I was younger and also more recently when I moved to a new state. I would offer a few tweaks to it: "Hey, I just moved into town, and dont have any connections, was wondering if you have any weed, or know somebody that does.." Then i would give him my cell number, and tell him to text me about it later.. 1) Just flat out ask, my line was always, 'wheres the weed at?" or "hey, you have some weed?" Dont give them your life story, my experience is street dealers are more skeptical the more you talk. 2) Limit yourself to 20-25 dollars, most corner dealers will sell 20's or dimes ($10) If the guy says yeah and offers to hook you up right there, you are good to go. NEVER EVER agree to walk around the corner with them, meet in the alley behind the 7-11, etc. If there are conditions, just say thanks, but I cant do that and walk off. Street people understand this and wont give you a hard time about it. Sometimes you'll get the 'give me the money and Ill be right back with it' line. This may be legit, but if you front them the money its at your own risk and there is a strong chance you just got taken. If you find a hook up, ask them if they have a number or how to get ahold of them if you want more. Ive developed a couple of decent hook ups in the past this way. Ive never given my number out and asked anybody to call me later. I would worry about getting set up to get jacked going that route. Main thing is be safe, Ive bought off corners a lot and have never had any problems while following the two 'rules' above. Its also not uncommon to ask 2-3 people before you find somebody that says they can hook you up, so dont be discouraged, just be safe. Good Luck =)
You can ussually approach people but remember not everyone is freindly. Back when I was sketchy I had to pull a knife on some guy because I asked him for bud and his 5 buddies came around the corner asking for my wallet. I got out of there but almost lost over $100. Your usually good just be prepared if your gonna ask on a corner.
