I know there are some legit guys out there, that actually work during the day to support their family and do their thing on the side for extra money, but here recently and in todays society it seems like theres just a bunch of these shady dudes. That I dont feel comfortable smoking with or being around, that refer to themselves as "hustlas". :jointsmile:
How can these guys possibly make a full time living off of greenery?
My guy grows his own and makes a living from it. It's his job as far as he's concerned - but he's shifting kilos at a time, so that'd be why. It's almost ALL profit for him. He's no "hustla" though, that just sounds like something little kids would call themselves to sound cool.
They've probably never even seen an oz.
Shady dealers make a living because there are always the dumb ones that keep going back as they have nowhere else to go. The stupid work with the stupid, and the smart work with the smart, and when they cross paths, worlds colide. :p
My main dealer doesn't have a family, or a wife/girlfriend. He lives on his own in a house on the outskirts of the city and all the money he gets, is all of his, and he is 100% legit. He does it because he is a good person, and he knows if he wants the bigger buyers to keep coming back, you treat them like you would want to be treated. When I hand him 10 $20's for a bag, I expect to get what I pay for.
There are smart dealers and dumb ones. Stay away from the dumb ones. :)
I certainly do. I expect a smile, abit of a chat, a cup of tea and my lovely weed.Quote:

This may have to do with you not living in the US (LIP). Now i'm not saying everyone, but 90% of dealers i've met here in the states are pretty shady, real paranoid (rightfully so) sneaky type people. My last guy was the first cool one i've had in a while, he was having a birthday party for his daughter and he invited me in for food and cake, then he gave me my sacks :D. I don't know, I think it's possible that people are not very nice in the states :(.
I get the feeling shady dealers could be more prominent in the states... although you can understand a dealer not being incredibly friendly if its the first time he's dealt with you.
I've had to deal with several dealers in my area since I started toking, and most of them were a pain in the neck.
Luckily, my current dealer is awesome, not only does he provide me with quality weed, but he always gives me a 'bonus joint' that we smoke together, he's definitely a smart dealer.
I don't know about shady.. but scary yes.
A couple of weeks ago me and a friend were buying from a friend of our dealer. He made us drive down behind some apartment complex and when we pulled up there were like 5 of them standing around and he comes up to the window and shows us his crypt tats and tryed to jip us 2 grams worth... All I know is I'm not buying from him again.
I wouldnt say public service cos its a business but a valuable service.Quote:

But sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get it.Ive being to houses where its filthy and all these wankers hanging around and kids running around etc etc but its worth it and you arent friends with them its a business transaction and thats it.
That is the attitude you *must* take if you have to deal with unsavoury characters to get your shit.
Maybe not in America, but over here, they are.Quote:
