How I got set up with cocaine

First I want to say I sold powder for ten years. The times were a lot of fun. Most of the people I dealt with were fairly decent people who woke up and went to work everyday but enjoyed partying when they got of. I was always pretty careful and went with my instincts when something didn't seem right. Until a piece of shit called me and wanted to meet up so we could talk about something.

I meet him at a familiar bar and he tells me he needed an eight ball and if its good he needed an ounce tomorrow. He also said he would start needing more a couple times a week. I told him my connect is out of town so I had to get this from someone else just to hold people over. So if he was buying the eight ball to test the quality he should wait until I get something else because the shit I had at the time was garbage. He said it didn't matter. That made me think it was strange, but not enough to think it was a set up. So I sell him the ball game and figured there is no way he is going to get the ounce after this shit. He called me two days later and is telling me how good it was. I knew he couldn't have liked that shit, but at the time I was selling my ounces for $800 or $900 and he was talking about paying $1500. That is another thing that should have thrown up red flags, but my greed only saw green. He tells me he has to call me back and I was laying in bed with my girlfriend at the time. I tell her, something just doesn't feel right about this. She said, well just don't do it. For once in her life that she was right. I did something you should never do. Don't let your greed out way your safe judgement.

I figured I will meet him with nothing on me and see how I feel then. He tells me to jump in the car because he needs to get the rest of the money from ATM. I figure it's ok I don't have shit on me anyway. We turned into the parking lot rite next to a van. The door slid open, they jumped out, grabbed my door yanked me out faster than I had time to think of what was going on. It was all DEA and a couple of state cops ended up there as well. So they patted me down and I say, I'm not the guy you must be looking for, I haven't done anything wrong. They said, its ok, we have a warrant for your house. 

My third mistake was getting too comfortable and keeping shit in my house. Luckily I had most of my money stashed somewhere else. That piece of shit set me up. I ended up doing 3 years in prison for that shit. The set up was a little over five years ago been home for two. 

When I first started selling shit I would never keep shit in my house and I knew people who did were making big mistakes. So, the most important thing I learned from that experience was, always go with your gut. Next would be, never get too comfortable.

This is vital. Hope your life isn't fucked because of your record now, OP.

Lesson of the day: OP used "out way" when he should have used "outweigh".

Seriously though, this is brutally important. You need to view all your vendor decisions from an unbiased point of view. What would I say to a friend who told me about this sketchy guy? Would I tell him the money's good or tell him that he'd better be safe than sorry? Greed will fuck you in the ass as many times as you let it.

Rule #1. Don't sell to random bloats.

I wouldn't risk another felony drug conviction bro.

Do you know why he informed? What I mean is, assuming he was caught and not an undrrcover, why you and not his dealer? You should have gone through someone or dead dropped. Cash up front or funk off.

Sorry for the coulda woulda shoulda

word good reminder

If you got the connects than you passed one of the biggest hurdles to get into vending. If you do vend you gotta make sure you don't get a fingerprint on ANYTHING since they're already in the system.

What is this?


[1 Points] CandyKoloredKlown:

Was this someone you knew previously who set you up, or a new customer or out of the blue?


[-6 Points] SpiffyWhiff:

I wish I could say I didn't fully read this,

It was difficult. Did you know paragraphs exist?

To save others redditors, who are going to,

TL;DR People will snitch on you.


[-25 Points] stopbloggingloser:

Did you mistake this for /r/blogging?


[-32 Points] None:

Ugh, not reading that ridiculous wall of text on a Sunday night, especially after a long Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

If you edit to add some damn paragraphs, others will probably read your little story and comment, but idk.

I'll just go ahead and assume that whatever it is you've posted never even actually happened anyway (like 98.5% of what I read on this subreddit these days).

Have a pleasant evening.
