The Trouble with Being Older....

[jonniethunder]

How does an older guy (50s) buy weed when he has no contacts? It seems like a matter of approaching a stranger on the street. Aside from the obvious risks of being ripped off and/or hurt, who the hell trusts a guy that age? And where would one go even if that was the only solution?

Any suggestions or tips? I could really use some.

Do you have any younger friends? If you do, perhaps you could get them to pick up for you. I understand your plea, however. Also, if the dealer is cool, try and explain to him that cops can't try to buy or sell without saying that they are cops - it's called entrapment. (I'm not sure if that applies everywhere, but saying it might make him trust you more.)

Some of my friends' parents go through their kids to get weed for them.

Unfortunately, no younger friends or older friends who could be asked, so it's up to me. Where would I find someone to approach with reasonable safety? Things have changed in the last 30 years!

Most older guys probably grow their own .

[Frivolous248]

Grow it yourself, seems like the best option.

[jonniethunder]

Yes, the growing option occurred to me as well; however, one must first get the seeds, which puts me back where I started.

You can order seeds online. You get like 10-20 for ~$20-40 bucks, just find a site that's trusted around here, that way you also can choose your strain :thumbsup: They mostly come from Amsterdam, UK, Netherlands area and come in a CD case or something..

ok, im in canada, and have done this a couple times, usually works pretty well. Find a mc donalds or KFC or taco bell or some other low end fast food chain, find the teenager behind the cash(this works better when its late, and theres no one behind you in line etc.), and ask them calmly if they know where you could find some bud. chances are at LEAST one employee, will have.

hey,

just bring up pot in a conversation with someone who you think might smoke. if they're wearing a bob marley shirt or something obvious, or look stoned... or are smoking weed, you should ask them if they could hook it up. definately sound like you know what you're doing though--if you let someone know you dont know shit about drugs then they will probably try to rip you off..

if you're in any larger city, try walking through some parks. chances are you might be asked to buy some weed. ask to see what you're buying before you give the money.

good luck.

ps--if you wanna grow some pot, go to google.com and search for "marijuana seeds" and see if you find anything. if the website looks shitty, it's most likely a scammer's poorly-designed website. make sure you are getting the seeds from a reliable source.

and if you grow some pot, i recommend you getting the Cannabis Grow Bible. It's definately got some good tips
