SO...... I really don't know what to think right now, I'm just kind of, I guess, shocked. I don't exactly know what to do, not about my dealer getting popped, but getting popped by a Narc. Im going to put the summary right here, for all you lazy ass mofo's that aren't going to read the whole story. Summary: Dealer stops in, grabs my cash like usual, heads downtown to pick up, calls me as he's leaving to make sure I was still up, and got pulled over and booked by a narc 5 miles away from my house. Narc says he'd been following him for a while (3 weeks I think he said). Fear the narc knows about me? So, the longER verson: Last night my dealer stopped by like usual, grabbed my cash and headed to pick up from his dealer who is all the way downtown (25 miles away). So like normal, he called me when he was leaving his guys, and informs me he is running by his pad, and coming back here to drop my stuff off, I confirm and begin to wait. Well, an hour goes by, and I start getting a bit nervous, I shoot him a "Where you at" in text and continue waiting. Well, I finally picked up the phone and gave him a call, and sure enough, phones off. So, I go to bed. (I had been drinking) Well, I wake up this morning/afternoon (hungover as fuck might I add) and this is when I know something is wrong. I have no texts, no missed calls, no nothing. And he is really big on, 'When people front me money, they are my #1 priority to get them their stuff' So, I give him a ring. Once again, phone still off. My stomach sank, and I proceeded to wait. Well, around 4:30pm, I got a call, and he came by. Not with my bud, but with a ticket.... He told me the story, told me that a narc had been onto him for a while, and he doesn;t know how much the narc knows about his client-base and or friendships that are involving marijuana. He informed me he would no longer be dealing anymore, and that he is apologized to the fact that he is putting me and my family into this state of, 'maybe' paranoia. (My whole family smokes the weed I get from him) We were all understanding ofcourse, we know that it is a dangerous lifestyle to live in this Country, and that he didn't have any control of the situation. My dad even shook his hand. So in the end, I smoked the last bowl I had with him, he apologized for the 100 dollars he had costed us and said goodbye. So now I am posting this, and guys, I really don't know what to think. I don't really want douchey comments or anything, I just need straight advice. What should I do? I mean, I am scared, but I just don't really know what to think or expect. My parents are down right freaking though, (My dad is a hippie, he isn't a fan of cops, Ha) but me, I'm trying to stay calm. Because I don't know. So guys, advice is needed. I have a small closet grow that has not begun yet, (I haven't germinated yet, so we aren't racing the clock or anything) Should I pack the lights up and put them in my attic, should I get rid of all my shit and bury it in a Tupperware container in my yard, I mean I am absolutely clueless. Help me out GC, EDIT: Or am I freaking out for nothing?
Thats your problem, haha, read the whole story. This guy has been my dealer for, god knows how long, he didn't rob me. Ha. EDIT: Plus I saw his ticket.. So HA!
You dont have to worry about anything happening to you its not like you were the one dealing, cops dont care about people who just smoke and they probably dont even know who you are.
i def wouldnt start a grow if its not already going but they have no reason to come into your house so you can chill out once you find a new dealer that is haha.
I think you will be ok, im not quite sure where you live, but from where im at the police wouldnt go through the effort of knocking down your door with a warrant based merely on possession. They go after the dealers and the growers generally not the users.
Thanks for the positive vibes so far guys, It's already helping me calm down more. I guess I just am worried merely on the fact that the narc said, "I've been following you for 3 weeks" and think about how many times I buy weed, it just scares me when I look at THOSE proportions.
Haha, I know its extremely hard to believe, but I know he got arrested, ha, like he was driving his roommates car because his was still impounded and he spent all the money on re upping last night. We have been friends from Freshman year in highschool, (5 years ago now) And I've been using him since Junior year. So its not just a dealer, but more of a friend. I know that I still, wont know for sure, until I find his mugshot in the "Busted" Ad next week. Haha.
Just remember, the black market is a sketchy place where even long relationships aren't immune to corruption. The main thing to think about is, you can never underestimate a man when there's money involved. Now I could be wrong, but I look at sketchy situations all the same. Think of the reasons why someone would want to fuck you over. (in your case it's a free 100 dollars.)
He didn't steal my money, the local PD stole it.. and it was in weed. It's all good, I'm doing fine. 100 bucks isn't the worse I've lost.
But it doesn't really make sense to get the quick 100 bucks, considering the OP said that he has been buying for a few years off the same guy, and also buys a considerable amount. The dealer would lose the customer, who would have given him 100 dollars in profit through business relatively soon.
unless your buying alot(like a half lb) and are selling yourself i wouldnt trip they rarely try to get the dealers customers
It seems strange that a narc (are we talking narc as in a snitch or narc like a narcotics officer) would follow your buddy around for three weeks. usually the snitch kind of narc would just buy and tell the cops what happened not launch massive investigations. Also when I read the thread title I thought this was a story about your buddy getting shot..I'm glad he wasn't shot.
another thread of cops ruining peoples lives. op, i tihnk you should hold off on growing for a few weeks..let things cool off. Im sure the cops wont come after you since casual users arn't their main priority. but its always better to be safe than sorry. other than that 100 bucks really isnt much, and i would let it go also. I mean, your dealer friend is in big shit now, and probly has to pay for legal bullshit so nagging about 100 bux when he was doing you a favor in the first place would seem messed up. just grow your own from now on. its the safest when done properly. goodluck buddy
the cops are not going to raid his house because of suspicion of buying weed. you have nothing to worry about, they are on to your friend for trafficking. you are good
