So I'm a complete idiot.

I was in Camden Town Yesterday after work and started asking around Head Shops where I could get some ganja. I havn't had the best luck so far here in London. So one man tells me to head down to the bridge and ask around there. Well I find this guy who tells me he can get me an eighth for 20 pounds. I'm pretty impressed and ask to see the bud.

This is where shit goes crazy. He pulls out a sack that looks like 3g's. I was ok with getting shorted a half gram as long as I could get it. The bud looks like some decent mids. So I pull out my money. Bad Idea. He grabs my cash and pushes me to the ground and runs off into a crowd of gangsters. Now I'm not really a tough guy at all. So I just kinda walked away in shame.

I feel like a pansy.

Unlucky man, that's London and Camden. There are some decent people here.

When your visiting another area (ecspecially another country) You should realy be cautious to not put yourself in situations like that.

holy shit. bummer deal.

maybe a .32 would take care of that. lightweight. automatic.

either way best of luck to you

yeah that's smart, pull out a gun in a crowd of gangsters... then you either get 10 pulled on you, or they just beat your ass and take your gun too....

nothing to really be ashamed of dude... it's not like a single person just punk'd you and you took it.... if you'd of decided to try and fight THEN you would have been an idiot, and most likely in the hospital or worse....

i doubt that who would stand there with a gun and let some1 beat the shit out of em

Think of yourself as 20 quid wiser. Hell, in the past month I've become $150 wiser. :(

This is so funny, he can't get any ganja what makes you think he could get hold of a gun. LOL

Sorry to hear you got ripped man but London is full of dodgy characters.

Because hes a tourist in england and knows no one to get weed from but he could easily get a gun in america because they are legal, but I see what you're saying though lol.

i never said he wouldn't use it...

let me ask you, have you ever shot a gun, at a human sized target/object? i find that everyone who hasn't shot one seems to think it's impossible to miss a target even at close range, but that couldn't be anymore wrong...

when you fire the gun it has recoil, what makes you a good shot is being able to judge that recoil, becuase the gun is going to raise up a bit before the bullet even leaves the barrel, especially in pistols.... some have a compensator, but most don't (compensator uses the gas from the blast to push the gun back down, making it more accurate)

now with something as small as .32 it ain't gonna have awhole lot of bullets to work with... 10, or less i'd imagine...

that's where the whole gang part i mentioned becomes relevant... even if you shot each person in the head per bullet in your magazine, you're going to have every other one that isn't shot, beating your ass and putting you in the hospital, or worse....

but then that's even ifyou're lucky enough to run across an entire gang that isn't carrying a gun among them... would you really pull the trigger when you got even more artillery pointed at you? honestly? by the time you fire one shot you'll be shot at 4-5 times atleast....

like i said, beat your ass and take your gun...

not to mention a .32 isn't all that intimidating anyways... if you wanna work on intimidation alone you're gonna have to up the caliber quite a bit....

so i'll repeat what i said.... pulling out a gun in that situation or even trying to fight, would of made you an idiot...

You sure know your guns slip.

Thats sucks man, sorry to hear that. There are some bastards who will rob £20 off someone who just wants a bit of weed.

Bad luck man, im sorry to hear that. Camden is the rip off central of London.

I wouldnt go pulling out guns though - you'd get cut before you could squeese. FACT.

We've all been ripped off once - even me. NEVER again though.

It's best not to look for weed in Camden. Buying the stuff to smoke it with is great, but as for weed, it's a no no.

Sadly theres lots of idiots looking to rip people off, and because Camden is so well known for weed, the majority are around there.

Try looking for slightly older people, ones who dont look like the type to rip you off [normally, they're not]

I hope you can get sorted out with some GOOD stuff soon man.

Do you not know anybody who works with you who smokes weed? They would proberly know a reliable dealer who could sort you out. It is much safer and easier to buy off someone who sells out of there house/flat than someone who sells off the street.

A- you survived. This is always good!

B- it happens to us all at least once. When it happened to me, I just bitched about it to some "borderline" friends who knew some very unsavory people- and had big mouths. They all though it a shame that a fine upstanding lady like myself was ripped off, but did nothing- then.

About 6 months later, the dude who ripped me off was dead. He had also ripped off one of those "unsavory people". His death was not pleasant. I wonder if my complaining had anything to do with the awfulness of his death? But there is nothing I can do about that. Eventually, your guy will rip off the wrong dude and pay the price.

At least all they did was take your money...at least you don't have a well whipped ass to go with it. It sucks, but it could be worse...and karma is a BITCH, so that will come back on the dude that ripped you...I'll smoke a bowl in your honor and say a prayer of retribution for the fartvapor that ripped you....he'll go to hell wearin' gasoline drawers and holding wooden matches!:)

same kinda thing happened to my grandparents only it wasn't over drugs.... this dude was just a con artist... at the time he was a bum and living under a bridge, he told them (my grandpa really, my grandma didn't like it one bit but went along with it) his dad was some rich man and he had just died and he was about to get alot of money and he wanted to start up a buisness, but he needed them to set up a bank account in his name or soemthing simliar so he could get paid becuase it was out of state... (the whole thing was so obviously bullshit, but my grandpa had just got fired from his actual job and they were getting desperate for money, which is why i suspect they bought it) and he'd pay them back everything they gave him, plus go half in half in a partnership for this new buisness....

long story short it went on for months and months, maybe even a year or so.... before my grandpa finally lost it on him and wanted to kill him, himself....

couple weeks later he was found dead under a bridge, it appeared that he had jumped in the river/creek and hit his head on a rock, but there's no way that happpened becuase he was scared shitless of that water... it was severely snake infested... he woudln't go near it... someone hit his ass over the head with a rock and threw him in the river... my grandma thinks he scammed the wrong person.... i still wonder if it that 'wrong person' just happens to be my granpa..... anyways his death was ruled accident/suicide but anyone that knew him for longer then a day would know there's no way he jumped in that water.

Man sorry to hear u got ripped off ,karma may get him yet.he couldve bought chicken 4 dinner with ur money and choked on a chicken bone ..We can only hope ,What wld u do if u see him again ,wld u plot revenge?.

Ha! I'm plotting no revenge. It's more depressing than anything. I don't mind losing the 20 quid. It's more the psychological aspect of it.

Fuck guns man. I dont't care about shooting those hoodlums but more about the Authorities after. Fuck jail. I'm never going back.

Shitty man. At least now you know not to do it again.. =/

I know, it's a shame. Those tossers give weed a bad name - but again, it's only because it's illegal. If it wasnt, this wouldnt happen, same as contamination wouldnt exsist, prices would be cheaper and we could get as much as we like, when we like.

But yeah, coz Camden is so well known for weed all the rip off merchants tend to stay around that area - like the guys shouting skunk weed everywhere around the market.

youd get 10 pulled on you and beat up.
i agree with the not fighting thing (even though im a big headed, bad tempered.. boxer) you dont wanna go starting with a gang looking to get a name for themselves.. especially with all the guns going about.

is there a lot of knifes going about your area?
because if the name matches the area then i almost got stabbed in your neck of the woods when i was getting cash from the machine.

I guess I'm lucky enough to look like a complete psycho and I have been told that I am intimidating because of my height and build (I am a 6'2 ex Thai boxer ) so not many people ever try it on with me. I have been threatened with knives and guns in my time and the secret is to stay cool and if you can just walk away until you see the chance for retribution. The funniest was a phone call when I was living in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Some guy rang the house I shared with 4 other guys and asked for me, I took the call and some guy said "I'm coming round to blow you away man, you been fuckin' my girl so get ready to die". I thought it was my mate Chris at first and laghed and said "c'mon Chris stop pulling my pud dude ,, I know it's you". Just at that mo Chris came walking in and of course I realised it couldn't be him, I then decided to call the guys bluff and told him "hey man you come round because I have a lovely brand new 45 waiting here to put one straight through your freekin head"", "you wanna see if your shotgun is better than my 45 feel free to come round". Funnily enough the guy never showed but to this day I don't know wether it was a wind up or for real.
Cities are funny places.

That sucks dude, but don't worry about it. Learn from it, and be thankful it was only £20. I know it feels shameful, but at least your not the pikey cunt taking it.

People have also had large amounts of ganja taken right of their defenseless hands like you.
COUGH* fucking gypos.

trust slip and me about guns as we are TEXANS

a .32 does not have takedown power
if you want to start talking about guns get the 1911 .45:thumbsup:
thats a real mans handgun not 9:( or 32s:( or 22s:( or anything else. lol

its a bad situation that people get jacked for weed as its a natural plant

Whatever..I have beens ripped off more a few times in my lifetime...not the same way, but similar..it is a whole different way of scoring..unfortunately if your not going through a regular guy..that shit can happen..

yes, i carry daily and shoot weekly.
i never said anything about him pulling a gun on 10 ppl and shooting them i just said who would stand there with a pistol and get the shit beat out of him.
lucky for me i dont carry a 32 and i always keep an extra clip :D
and wow you put alot of words in my mouth

If your really psyco like I would be, Id clear out my plans for the evening. Get outta there, go buy some drinks, wait in a car till he leaves and follow him. When you get a chance run up on him with a baseball bat. Take his shoes and everything fuck his clothes up or something so hes less off then what he took from you and has his ass beat. thatll teach him to do buissness right.

That's fucked up dude. You should alway's do your research, and be aware of your surrounding's at all times when visiting another country. You should have known, being an American in London is to your disadvantage. We are not Liked there.:(
