Kinda suspicious...

[JR77]

I was wondering what you guys think...About 2 1/2 weeks ago I spoke to my reg. guy and we set up a meet for that night. He totally blew me off and like virtually disappeared for over 2 weeks....not a phone call, text or any explanation. I thought he got busted - he always gets back to me and this is very unlike him.

So anyway, yesterday he texts me out of the blue saying that he just got back from vacation (for 2 weeks???) and to let him know if I need (no explanatation or apology or anything)....It just sounds kinda sketchy to me. Maybe he DID get busted and he is trying to set me up? I don't know...It is just very unlike him to blow me off for 2 weeks....and he texted me at like 8AM - kinda weird, too!

Eeeks. If your dealing with someone who you even "think" might turn you in, I'd say it's time to get another dealer, one you can trust. Love your avvy by the way! Peace!

[hempplaya]

yeah that does sound really suspicious, i've never had that happen and they tell me ahead of time if they're goin on vacation or whatnot so i can plan ahead. definitely sounds like he may be workin with the popo (just my $.02)

[BobBong]

2 weeks isn't unreasonable.

i mean, a standard vacation is going to be at least 7-10 days. So why is an extra 4 so unbelievable?

Ask for a better explination :)

[JR77]

Yeah I thought it sounded a little weird....and why wouldn't he have told me he was going away that day when he set up the time to meet and everything for that nite? I mean if you are going away you usually know you're leaving esp. if it is the same day! I guess I have to trust my gut feeling that something is up!

[the yeag]

sounds resonable to me the guy split for a few..and now he is back and broke he needs his customers to support his lifestyle. now would be the time to order some extra weight get a good price for it.

[MaryJaneintheCloset]

If you have a bad feeling, I say don't do it. At the very least, do like BobBong said and try to get a better explanation out of him. Good luck! :)

[slipknotpsycho]

i highly doubt the cops would use him (even if he got busted) to bust a whole nother group of people... and shit you gotta remember, these dealers don't have the mindset of "i'm doing a service and i have to provide when i can, and blah blah" mostly they do it when they need the money.. if they have a bit built up... they tend to get very unreliable.... may even wanna take a vacation, and 2 weeks isn't unreasonable at all... shit no one wants to like go to the bahama's or cancun and leave in 3 or 4 days... that's more like a visit then a vacation.... i think you're just being overly paranoid (as most stoners get) unless you're buying like pounds/kilos of drugs at a time... if that's the case, then you might want to worry a bit... i just really doubt the cops are going to put in surveilance and crap to put a few people away for what? like a week, maybe a month? lol... if you'd even see jail time... more than likely you'd get probation or some shit.

[JR77]

Thanks for the replies!!!!

Couldn't he be trying to lessen his sentence/fines, etc. by trying to set-up other people and getting them busted for buying?

yes that would be the idea.. but dude c'mon... if cops set up survielance and all it would take, to make it stick in court they're going to do it over something worthwhile... generally if it's less than an oz... (unless you're a repeat offender) you're not going to see much jail time... the most you will see (probably) would be sitting in county until your court date.. when you'd most likely get probation and fines... i don't know if you understand what i'm trying to say.. but basicly it'd be waste of time/money/effort to bust someone with less than an oz... and even busting someone WITH an oz i still highly doubt they'd go through it all... DA's and cops offer reduced time for coroporation for shit like that, when peopel are dealing high quantites (minimum i would guess would be like a qp...) other then that you're basicly stuck with whatever time you get...

like i said, i just think you're being the typical stoner (nothing wrong with it, nearly everyone gets it, including me) paranoid...

[crudemood]

Welcome to club paranoia. You'll never know if he's setting you up until it actually happens, whether you're willing to take that chance... its up to you.
Hopefully you have another source.

when you get busted by the cops for selling. if you try to make a plea bargain to reduce your sentence. The DA would want someone bigger not a couple users buying ounces...plus they would get him back on the streets right away.....not two weeks. don't be alarmed unless he asks to meet you at a set time at a set place.....just wait for him to tell you where to meet...agrea to it. then call him back at the last minute and meet somewhere else if he goes for it cool...if not your being set up.




snitches get stitches and end up in ditches cause they are punk ass bitches.:jointsmile:

[PatrickHenry]

Cops aren't gonna do a huge elaborate sting on some guy trying to buy an ounce or less. They consider you to be a victim, someone they're trying to protect.

[the yeag]

~I know not what course others may take , but as for me. Give me liberty or suck my dick you redcoat~ don't tread on me.

That is a really good idea...I was racking my brain to think of a way I could find out if it's a setup...

[the yeag]

true~ i have been down that road.

[AlwaysBlazed]

Depending on where you live you won't get arrested. My friend just got out of court with 15 grams posession (this is in NY) and he didn't get any fines (except some lawyer feers) and he didn't even get probation.

[TokinAsianGuy]

If it helps your peace of mind, my regular guy is also a stoner so his memory is always all fucked up. he'll say he'll call me at 6 and i won't get a call till the next afternoon, ya know?

during the 2 weeks, did you try to contact him at all? or did you not want to call him because he blew you off?

LOL!!!Very funny.The cops DO NOT consider small time buyers to be victims.They are fair targets for arrest and harrassment just like the dealers.Just they usually aren't worth the trouble to prosecute.Doesn't mean a cop or DA with a hard on for you WON'T make the effort to fuck with you.

[the yeag]

go with a couple people...that way if you get caught in a sting the amount of pot will be so low cause there will be a couple people to pin it on...it wont ever go to trial...if one guy gets busted with an ounce..could be a problem but say three people get caught up by the cops and a bag is found if know one claims it..they might try to pin it on everyone. then the charge would be possesion of a little more than a quarter for three people..that wont get you in trouble

I could have been more clear I guess. The police don't think of you as the vicitim necessarily (although some might), but the system considers you a victim. This is identifiable by simply comparing the punishments for selling/cultivation and possession. Like you said, it's typically not worth the effort to bust a user unless it's overtly obvious, like smoking in your car or as you're walking down the street.

I've had friends caught with a half ounce and the cop just gave it back and didn't mention it.

In my younger and dumber days I was caught at a house party with a bunch of people smoking weed. The cop just asked us if there was anything besides alcohol and weed, we said "no" and they left!

This was in L.A. though..your mileage may vary..

i think he might be telling you the truth.
Dealers dont want other to know when they will be gone for a while for many reasonsing. Empty houses are enticing for those who arent the most honest clientele.
I also think that if he were working with the police that he would be asked to go after those who sold to him. Sorta like the domino effect. Users are a dime a dozen. Dealer have the house, the cars, the prperty, the bank accounts, etc etc that all can be confiscated if one gets caught dealing. Thats who the cops want.
If you are uneasy with your dealer, find another one. They are all over the place.

dai*ma:stoned:

[Dro_Princess]

My old dealer gave me the creeps and I didnt like the way things would go down. He wanted to meet in the same public place, he would hop in my car and as soon as I gave him the money he would hop out. I didnt feel comfortable one bit and the trust just wasnt there, so I dropped him and found a new one. If you dont trust someone then dont buy from them. I would rather be looking for new hook ups and going without for a while instead of getting busted and having to deal with the law.

[JR77]

Just wanted to give an update to this thread - I decided to chance it and hook-up with my guy and I only bought VERY little...so just in case something happened I only had like 2 grams - Nothing happened and everything was cool...he had a death in his family unfortunately...so now I feel like I was too paranoid...whatever!!!!

[napolitana869]

theres nothing wrong with playing it safe.

[ukmonkey]

well played! glad to hear it turned out alright I have to say I'd of switched my man atleast for a couple of weeks

[make it legal]

Yeah cops really only want dealers not so much your regular user.

[Nation_1ne]

Family deaths......always a good excuse.

[suhl]

ahahahaha do you think hes an fbi informant. i doubt they really want to waste resources on busting someone for small amounts of weed

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

Hmmm, to me it sounds like he really went on vacation (even if it is a metaphor), then came back rather late, thus decided to give his customers a call in the morning to let them know he's back in business.

Or maybe not. But I do find that sometimes one tends to come to rather paranoid conclusions when the routine of the normality is broken.

Thats an interesting way of looking at it!

Yes - That is exactly the way I was looking at it!!!
