Advice for anyone thinking of re-selling product locally or any dealing at all.

I'm going to give some advice after the recent thread of the dude thinking of being a vendor but being afraid of consequences, and seeing random comm enters consider vending.

Being a dealer is not what you think it is. You will not be cool or respected for dealing. Yea, the instant 200$ per day is great at first, and you think "shit this is easy af". After a few weeks things will change. You will lose all your friends doing regular shit as you are on the job 24/7 randomly traveling across the town flipping paks. You will gain the reputation of being the guy with the drugs. Socially you will naturally separate from everyone not dealing drugs as well. If you are selling anything that people can OD on you will begin to develop a constant paranoia that something bad may happen to a customer and they will rat you. You will begin to think of every single possible scenario that you could get fucked over by (unless you are dumb). The only people that text you will be ones looking for drugs. This is before I even consider the other side; competition. If you plan to make any real money it will catch other dealers' attention, and they WILL be pissed if you take their buisness (even accidentally). Now you gotta be ready to kill someone and watch your back for shooters at random times.

This is just the reality of the game. You cannot live a 2-faced life and balance lifestyles. You will be a dealer 24/7. And if you don't get out while you can, you WILL eventually slip up one day and face a felony charge and become shunned by everyone normal as a criminal.

Call me a bitch or whatever, but I'm not about that life. I recommend thinking about the day you get caught and what your future will be (or loss thereof)

Dealing really isn't one of those go big or go home things. Best advice to give anyone is do not bite off more than you can chew.

And this is why I just sell to close friends and sell them things at a quantity that is pretty hard for them to OD on. Simple. Also, if someone wants to buy shit...god dam I am not going to the other side of town just to get it to the person, We either compromise or meet up where it is convenient for me or when we hang out/chill. Done deal, doesn't really affect much of my rep or social life and it gives me extra cash on the side so...

I brag about dealing drugs online to be cool.

I can tell you haven't been in the game for long ... a lot of those scenarios are not true .. All depends on your area and clientele

If I consider someone a friend, I'll do drugs with them with no money involved. If they're a close friend, I'll give them a bit to take with them if they want it. I try to avoid mixing dealing and friendship, mainly because I don't want to come off as the James-Franco-from-Pineapple-Express-dealer guy who wants to hang out when the buyer just wants to pop-in then go. I avoid the whole delivery thing, and I've never had a problem with lost sales from people who didn't want to pick up or meeting up in sketchy places.

I don't sell stamps in Baltimore or anything like that though, so I'm sure my experience of generally-friendly-competition is different than average.

I'm gonna have to agree with a lot of what the op said, I've never been a big time dealer, but dealt weed, and sometimes pills for several years so I understand where you're coming from. Also my local suppliers are all deep into the game and I see how their lifestyle is.

When you introduce drugs and money into any relationship it can go sour really fast, especially when there's debt involved. I've lost 2 close friends because I was dumb enough to trust them and fronted them, and even though I was giving them love prices they fucked me over. Never saw them again after I fronted them, despite me texting/calling and asking mutual friends. I'm not a violent guy and one of them was a girl so I didn't do shit, but I know a lot of people in this game would quickly turn to violence. That's also why I always pay for my shit up front because although my suppliers are probably my only actual friends (like op said all the friends you have left will be other dealers) I know if for some reason I couldn't pay them back something bad would happen. Also it's very likely you'll get popped off or at least have a close call with the law, if someone below you on the supply chain gets busted they will rat you out in a heartbeat to save their ass, or like op said if you are dealing with shit you can od on then a junkie's dumb mistake can come back to bite you.

But like /u/DnmAvenger said dealing isn't 'go big or go home' it really depends on the quantities you're pushing, and also what drug you're dealing. I've never been afraid that my competition would want to kill me, but that's because I only have dealt weed mainly, and sometimes addy/vyvanse/etc. and xanax. If you deal with hard drugs and/or are pushing major weight then you would have to worry about that shit.

Well said. upvote for reality check.


[5 Points] This_Is_That_Moment:

Disagree. Maintaining a social life and dealing isn't impossible. It's definitely not for everyone but it's nowhere near as stressful as you are making it out to be. You use too many absolutes and base your testimony on what I assume to be personal experience.

Dealing is a business. You don't have more businesses in existence than people but if everyone could run their own lucrative business presumably they would. It simply comes down to a matter of inclinations and intelligence.

The only thing i would consider is selling LSD in a small town where it's non existant, theres no competition and people aren't constantly buying it

LOL you're definitely American...


[3 Points] boofk:

I know plenty of people who deal just to friends. They arent making tons of money, just like an extra paycheck. It is true about worrying about ODs, in my state its a mandatory minimum 20 years if you sell or even middle man drugs that result in death. As far as watching for people coming to kill you, meh. If youre small time that isnt a serious concern. Do watch out for people trying to rob you.


[3 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

It was my understanding that he intended to be a manufacturer and darknet market vendor. Not a local dealer.

there are many levels and shades of dealing, how many people havent bought off the darknet for themself and a friend?

For the guy who started the thread, pressing pills and selling them for bitcoin over tor through the post to be compared to a street-level dealer is like calling the owner of a casino a gambler.

He wont get as much sex as a local dealer. He will have even less friends.

But he wont get shot or stabbed.

Friend who flips weed got robbed at gunpoint over an Oz. This shit is real you idiot

That's it? I bet da trap went dry..

Call me a bitch or whatever, but I'm not about that life. I recommend

THIS HAS MADE ALL OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS INVALID. Maybe you've pushed a few ounces of tree, flipped a few xanies, whatever. I highly doubt you did anything substantial. People who ACTUALLY SOLD DRUGS don't brag about that shit. Solid motherfuckers don't bitch about their friends losing an Oz and whine about it on a sub. I bet your friend knew better than to sell to whoever got his ass, too. They saw him as an easy target and took him. If your friend had any kind of reputation or was affiliated with anyone that was worth a damn, then those people would think twice about doing some dumb shit over a measly ounce of weed.

tl;dr Your argument holds no weight because you've never held any.


[2 Points] 27clubhereicome:

This is pretty accurate. It's definitely fun at first in a social way, then it's fun as a power trip, then you look around at all the people you interact with and just sigh with exhaustion before grabbing your shit to go make the next run to meet Billy who is short again and has a look of shocked horror like you just murdered his mom because you're refusing to front him for the tenth time in a row. I can't smoke weed anymore simply because of how much I came to hate dealing with stoners while selling. Also, when I smoked at home my roommate's delivery guy knocking on the door would register to me as the narcotics raid coming to end my life. It's nice to be out unscathed.


[2 Points] strauser360:

You're a bitch.

And the fact if someone does something stupid on the drug you sell and dies or ODs and dies you will be charged with man slaughter.

the reason above is the only reason I don't deal, as even when I wasn't dealing and just gave a friend something he gave it to someone else and that person got a very close call to dying and I would have been charged with manslaughter.

That group of friends banded together and said I was the one who gave it to the person who almost died, when I barely knew that person

This OP has shit leaking out his mouth.


[1 Points] None:

Its risk vs reward, everything has its risk, i wish i could say everyone on this sub understands those risk. sadly thats not the case. OP is correct, but the same goes for the whole concept of DNM's, you need to understand the risk and never let the rewards blind you from the harsh reality that you put your life or at the very least your way of life everytime you buy or sell drugs.. regardless if IRL of via DNM's

Had a friend once that OD'd on one marijuana. ONE.


[1 Points] None:

My friend ripped a cop off. He told the undercover it was a quarter oz of bud. It was only 5 grams. The cops kicked his ass for lying to them. The irony...


[-1 Points] Uni_Llama:

What about small scale for a month or two then stopping?


[-1 Points] NoIAmNotACop:

It's just a bad idea, all around. Don't do drugs or the police will catch you. Guaranteed.
