My steady guy I met through a family member. I am reluctant to talk about who I buy from though, even around guys I smoke regularly. Too many people I know will blab on and on about their guys, especially when they are fucked up. It's just disrespectful and plain unsafe. You need a keen intuition to know when the right time to exchange names and numbers is.

I also agree on asking your guy any time you expose them to someone else. If I make a pick-up and someone else is in my car I'm going to ask permission when I call him. It's just good business.
