Do you carry a tool when you pick up your herbs?

[buddymyfriend]

I've always carried a some kind of tool when picking up mj, partly because of some of the shady characters selling and because of the 'people about' (generally large gangs, hoodies, the usual). So I either take my kosh or knuckle duster.
Now I shouldn't have to feel like i need to protect myself to enjoy one of lifes little pleasures. If there was somewhere I could go, like a cafe or shop to buy mj i wouldn't have the need to carry a tool and less laws would be broken! Anywho i could go on as to the other advantages of legalising mj such as i wouldnt have dabbled with other drugs could i have gone somewhere where only mj is sold! Anywho i was just curious do any of the other members feel the need to protect themselves when scoring your herbs?

Peace

Buddy

If you feel a need to protect yourself from violence, with a weapon, you need to find a new dealer.
Or grow your own.
Getting high is not enough to risk violence over.

24 years of smoking, buying countless bags from countless dealers, I've never felt the need to carry any kind of weapon.

Shady street dealers are 1 of the reasons I started buying via the internet.(piss poor local product was the other)

I never felt the need to carry a tool when I go pick up. Most of my dealers are people I've known for years and the growers I know are some of the most humble people I know.

Concur. There are very few things worth risking your life over and marijuana is certainly not one of them. Even in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, NY; I never had to carry anything for safety. Was it the safest neighborhood? HELL NO! LOL! But was I comfortable there. Absolutely. Even though I lived in NJ, I was a fixture there because of various girlfriends and stores I went to.

Think about it this way. Would you (or anyone else) want to take the chance you're walking into a bust and go down for drug AND weapons charges. Some states are very sneaky...a weapon can 'enhance' a charge. So in other words, you get caught with an ounce and you might be able to weasel that it's personal. You get caught with an ounce and a gun, I guarntee most DA's will try to tack on 'distribution'.

[dryst]

not to mention a gun charge...and if its dirty, local laws are manitory 5 yrs in prison

No..
