When robbing the dope man seems like the only way to stop.

Look I'm gonna try to help ya here OP, but I can come off as brash. Plus the truth hurts.

I've been reading all your posts lately and I'm gonna let ya in on a little secret--You are just not truly ready to quit.

There's no fucking way I'm the only one that thinks/knows this

Sorry if I came off as a cunt but it's pretty fucking obvious.

[Thoms]

I don't see any reason to apologize to the op bone dust.
OP do whatever it is you want but please go to a rehab (or trap house, your choice) without internet access. I do believe between your posts about the evils of crystal and your stance on the best way to really stop smoking crack we have a really good picture of where you are mentally. I hope to god you are fucking sleeping finally. Trust me, you need it. Maybe then the DEA agents that found you and are hiding in the bushes outside will finally leave. 

I really don't know why I spend my time writing this. Meh...

[bonedust]

^^^Heh heh.

Damn, yeah I gotta agree that's probably a bad idea.   I have one dealer that I do not like personally, but he never calls or tempts me.  and the other one I have is cool and he does let me know when he has shit, but if i tell him not to he respects it.(lol i havent requested that of him for quite some time now haha) and I just couldn't do that to him.  Like we don't hang out or anything, but for the 5ish minutes that I see him when I come by to cop I feel like we have somewhat bonded and developed a pretty high level of trust that I just couldn't betray.  We actually used to hang out sometimes i would do one at his house and chill for 30 min or an hour, but now he has a live in gf and a kid so he doesnt want people doin shit there.  But yeah I couldn't do that unless someone REALLY deserved it and still it could have bad consequences.

[gnossos (OP)]

I think these post was made during a bad stretch of meth use and isn't what the OP actually believes in a clearer state of mind.

^ Yep. Another thread to add to my wall of shame. I have to say, I do appreciate everyone's harsh criticism, cause sometimes I need it to bring me back down to earth. It's just so easy to blame the dope dealer for my problems but obviously it's not their fault.

Apparently I neglected to mention that this wasn't an idea I was thinking about doing, it's something I had already done, I think the night I posted this.... I mean I don't cop dope myself, my hubby always takes care of that, I was just along for the ride. Dude's a 30min or so drive away and has no idea where we're at, but yeah, we were pretty paranoid there for awhile... Wasn't worth it in the end.

Let's not pretend like we haven't all done shit we regret when we're strung out. You'd be hard-pressed to find an addict who hasn't stolen from someone in some form or another to support their habit. Doesn't make it right, it's just part of "the game" I guess... I've been on both sides of it.

Jesus Christ OP,Narcan won't reverse a lead overdose. Never forget that little fact.

I need that quote on one of those motivational posters in my bedroom.

I agree, and I can handle criticism.

One of my favorite D boys shot a dude who had ripped him off for a 40 bag.  He ended up doing 7 years for it and he felt it was worth it. 
Dude was super nice too, he just didn't want to be taken advantage of. So yea you might think they're friendly but you never know what's going on in someone's head.

I know from experience, there are some guys out there who will risk a high speed chase to get you over 80 bucks, and a hundred the other time.  Its like they'd be willing to do years over a half gram that they probly paid 30 bucks for.   I been getting grams for 70 of chunk ecp dope the past few months, literally the worst area to go to. They even have street signs over there that read "drug free zone" or something like that.  Never seen signs like that anywhere else in the bad half of my major city. 

So i know theyre making a killing on it if they know the right people if he can sell me gs for 65-70

Interesting from an ethical perspective.  My position is any crack or dope dealer deserves to be robbed.  Why?  Because their very existence takes advantage of human weakness and allows them to live a certain lifestyle as a result of your illness.  And I can say this being on both sides of the table.  As someone who's already been arrested and served his time for pill trafficking, I have to honestly say I knew what I was doing to my customers.  I was able to live a very comfortable lifestyle without the need for mundane things like a job.  I justified this in my own head by refusing to sell to anyone who wasn't already addicted, telling myself, they're fucked anyway, and someone is bound to get that money if it isn't me. 
On the other hand, when my dope addiction got out of hand, black listing myself in Paterson is what I needed to do.  I'm not saying I recommend this as it can be detrimental to your health, but I do understand the temptation.  I embarrassed a dealer by driving off with a few hundred in product and endured days of threatening messages.  That kept my ass out of that city long enough to kick it and here I am almost two years later, for the first time in my life doing very well for myself.

Jesus Christ OP,

Narcan won't reverse a lead overdose. Never forget that little fact.

lol, my thoughts exactly..

Narcan won't fix a hotshot either.

I wonder what the bp of cyanide is?

[Thoms]

Why in the hell would any dealer deserve to be robbed. No one makes people buy the dope. They provide a needed service. I don’t understand having that opinion. Does any fast food place owner deserve to get robbed? A casino? A bar tender? A hooker? A doctor? A bud tender?

[Boostemente]

While I respect your opinion, I think I clearly answered the question already.  Selling drugs takes advantage of human weakness.  I'm not talking about dealing some bud; if you rob the weed man you're just a scumbag their.  I'm talking about highly addictive drugs, the kind people die everyday over.  When you sell dope or crack, you hold a power over your customers.  In some cases you can demand they bark like a dog to obtain their fix.  This is not simple supply and demand economics.  It's similar to the shitbag that bought the rights to the HIV.meds last year and inflated the price ten fold overnight.  He did it because he knew he could and still sell enough to make an absurd profit.  Back when I was moving the pills, I got beat a few times and it's just the cost of doing business.  I didn't like it, but accepted it.

[Thoms]

Fair enough, different opinions, it is what it is

[traplord69]

I have to say I totally agree that the majority of h or coke/crack dealers probably have it coming if they end up getting beat.  Boostemente laid it out pretty well in my opinion.  They have so much power over you because you are willing to do almost anything to get what they have and they absolutely know it.  Hence the old "ill be there in five minutes" turning into an hour or more while waiting to score, and they know that you're not going anywhere, unless you happen to have another connection that you know has the same good shit your ass would wait there all day for him to come, ive unfortunately done it.  Especially in the sketchy areas where dope is most often found, ie paterson, sitting around for 30 minutes or an hour with out of state license plates is a great way to get pulled over and arrested, or robbed which happened to me in paterson.  They don't care about anything other than the money you bring them.  Oh damn such and such got arrested while waiting for my lazy ass to get off the couch and serve them, or so and so od'ed off my fent shit, on to the next one.  Most dealers simply have no common courtesy and 100% take advantage of users in every way possible.  There are exceptions but by and large dealers could less about anything other than your money, and in turn I don't see how a user for once getting the upper hand is any more reprehensible.  Obviously your dealer isn't going to be your best friend, but they could go about it in a much more dignified and fair way imo.  I definitely wouldn't recommend robbing your average dope man, but I certainly wouldn't feel bad for him either if you decided to.

Then again, I've had connects who've done right by me, and me by them - I've had connects where I've been invited (and gone to) their houses, family gatherings etc., and who've looked after me when I wasn't able to do anything for myself.

I've also had connects that do the whole '5 minutes' thing, only to leave me waiting 1 hour in a sketchy place.

I guess what I'm saying is that, regardless of how they're making their money, they're people - just like everybody else.

If you still want there to be decently-behaved connects around who don't treat you like shit, then maybe don't think of, or actually go around thinking that they all 'deserve' (somehow) to be robbed (they've got to pay their guy, too - if you robbed them like was suggested, you might even be responsible for them being hospitalised or killed).

[Chip]

my philosophy is simple - treat people how you expect to be treated.

rule no. 1 - you got to wait.

get fucked over ? move on ... they will get their theirs

a dealer's life is almost always fucked up, I never forget that.

... but Omar was my favorite!
