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..

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!

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:

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.

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!!!!

theres nothing wrong with playing it safe.

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

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

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

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

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.
