    So anyways, my good friend who I used to go in on recently handed me the number to his chronic dealer cuz he says he's trying to cut back and thusly, would rather have me buy it on my own from now on so that he's not all tempted back n'soforth.

    So, being a good friend, I respect his choice and decide to call up the dealer the next time I run out.

    So today, two weeks later, I finally call up the new dealer, who knows me by aquaintance (we work in the same office building and have talked a few times here and there).

    Anyways, so this isn't a friend who I found out smoked weed like my old "dealer." This guy I am going to see for one thing only and that is drugs.

    To be honest, it felt weird, not sitting down and talking about life and philosophy. I don't know, it feels shady just because you're both in a position of vulnerability on the first transaction. The dealer is trying to assess whether or not he can trust you. He knows where I work and he knows my superiors as well as co-workers (my co-workers generally know I smoke, but my superiors don't). But then again, I pretty much know all that shit about him also. Soooo, it's kinda like a trade off of information and an attempt at establishing a stable business relationship with no fucking about.

    Still, I miss being able to hang out with a good friend when going to get weed, it just made the process of picking up SOOO much more enjoyable.

    theres a rule about socializing with your work mates out of work you know...


    i just cant remember what the exact words are, but generally people dont do it, because if somethin goes wrong, you gotta see em every day and it could ruin your job which is most important (coz u get money from it and its how u survive)...

    but anyway, try and keep a positive relationship wit him, even if u dont like him much or dont really get along with him...

    Always have the money, dont fuck him over and bring your scale, don't get fucked over. Never any problems, never a problem at work.

    :smoking:

    yeh, I hear ya goro the puffer.

    Well at least the shit he gets is always very dank. He claims he gets it from the surplus of a medical marijuana contributing grower (meaning he gives it to cannabis clubs for free or at a very very good price).

    I don't know how true that is, but regardless the ganja is always dense, hard, sinsemilla nugs which break up nicely and have very visible trichomes. So the upside is he handed me a weighted eighth, which matched up to my scale to the tenth of a gram for 50 USD. Which is more expensive than anywhere else in the world other than the U.S. :mad:

    He claims the strain he handed me this time is the Jack Herer strain. Smoking it, it is definately stronger than his previous shit (which I got from my friend who used to go to the dealer for me basically) and has a strange almost acrid smell to the smoke that is both powerful and strangely alluring like a very powerful musk.

    I don't know much about the efficacy behind whether or not it is actually the strain itself or not, so can anyone here whose tried the strain, Jack Herer, please comment on the flavor and specific effects noted.

    Thanks in advance.

    just be straight up with him. You can even act like you still don't know him if you want. dont ever talk about buying or selling at work.

    I definitley know what you mean about having a friendship with dealers being better.
    In high school i was good friends with a pair of kids who dealt together, after school sometimes wed just drive around delivering pick-ups for the weekend and blazing, then if I wanted to buy some to take home i got hooked up really well. And even if we were just picking up a bag from one of the kids, wed always pick them up, go for a cruise and chat, mabye grab some food and do the deal before taking them back home, because we were actually friends, not just business aquaintences.

    and yeah, most dealers are actually totally good guys as long as their not fucked with first. Just always have the money, thank him for the hookup, and mabye offer to blaze with him sometime, dealers always appreciate a smokeout after a deal. As long as neither one of you tries to fuck with the other theres no reason it should become a problem at work. Im sure it goes without saying, but just remember that there should be NO mention of that stuff between you two at work, just for safety sake. It can always wait till you get off of work and give his cell a call, just so that youre not risking being overheared.

    The first time I met my dealer I was a little sketched out too. I've dopped people off at his house to get me buds before, but never met him face to face. One day, my friend who was hitting him up for me had to go out of town, and I needed my bud for a concert later that day, so my buddy called and gave him my name and whatnot. So I hit this dude up, go to his house, thinking he's gonna give me a weak sack and be like, "gtfo", but he was actually a really cool dude, I was straight up with him, he let me come inside and smoke a few bowls to make sure I liked it and stuff. Now pretty much everytime I go over there we smoke some bowls, play video games, and just chill. This dudes like 4 years older than me, and the only time I hit him up is for weed, but we're still friends...so just try to be cool, dealers are normal people too.

    No matter what man, appreciate getting a new dealer, always. If you know he's reliable, really appreciate it, and do subtle things to show it, and you'll be fine.

    You said yourself, you're going to see him for one thing only, drugs. Don't think twice about the life and philosophy stuff as far as he's concerned, unless you two adventually become friends. It can happen, more likely not. But anyway, just do like I said, while you're getting the drugs, just show you appreciate it. Say thanks, offer to smoke one once in awhile. Don't fuck with him, and he won't fuck with you. If they know it's honestly appreciated, they'll ease into trust a bit better.

    Particularly if he's the man with the goods. Always appreciate not having to deal with a middleman, it's bullshit 99% of the time.

    Yeah its great being friends with your guy. I'd always have friends lookin for something and he knew I was sendin an ass ton of people his way. I met him through work (fast food) and after hangin out with him hes really cool. I've invited him to plenty of partys where hes made mad bank. And what I got out of the deal was a great friend who will pretty much smoke me out any day because we both kind of know whats up. And we're both pretty honest people, we've found out from the begining. Its just no bullshit, if I'm tryin to smoke, Ill tell him I'm tryin to smoke, if I just want to hang out Ill see if he wants to hang out, and if Im actually trying to get something well you get the picture. Its nice having a friend in the buisness, for sure.

    I hate not having a friendly relationship with my dealer to the point where I could feel we could hang out. I also hate having to go to parts of cleveland where I feel I'm going to be robbed at any second. If I could find a nice, friendly dealer, in a safe neighborhood, he would be swimming in my money.

    no sheet! you're not looking for a friend are you? you're looking for a DEALER! it's a person who does business transactions with you. personally, i hate interpersonal realtionships with dealers because it makes things more uncomfortable when you have to tell them to go frog themselves when they get uppity or jerk you around and i've had to do that with EVERY overpriced couchlock purveyor i've had to deal with since the mid 80s.

    business is business.

    so what's the big deal? do you also need to kick back with cashiers when you buy groceries or ushers when you go see a movie?

    i'd be more concerned with a dealer trying to short me than how well we get along.
