    Thank you legal weed for getting rid of Paul.

    Years ago, I recall having to hang out with Paul for hours to get my weed. He wouldn’t just “do business”, he was lonely and wanted someone to talk to. The grower was an old man that grew a single variety of weed (grapefruit), Paul included lots of stems and seeds and was short on weight besides.

    THEN Paul got a girlfriend, I was so excited. FINALLY, I’m sure he’ll want to conduct business quickly, right? Oh, wait, she’s lonely too, and wants to chat about the Reptilian Royal Family.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      Crazy how you people even meet Paul. In Ukraine 99% interactions were via stashes: pay someone in crypto so they reveal the location (lat/lon) of the hidden stash and the photos of where it’s hidden. Then off you go treasure hunting.

      No face to face contact this way.

        It’s wild that this would be gibberish just 20 years ago.

        What the fuck is a crypto?

        How tf am I supposed to trust the drug man?

        Send photos like in the mail? I don’t want him knowing my address…

        That might just be a cultural difference. In the US it was always one of four people: the Paul type (a weird loser who you had to hang out with), as shown elsewhere in the thread someone weirdly smart and competent who’s doing it for some side cash usually in school, a friend who buys in bulk and sells to friends, or a professional who didn’t want to spend any more time with you than you with them but is generally sketchy as hell and not who middle class people were buying an eighth off of. All of these were typically in person

          No, at the supposed location, a bunch of cops start to beat you while screaming “Stop resisting!”, then shove you into a prison for labor purposes.

          That happens but that’s why you do your research and search the feedback on shops first.

      I had a dealer like that once, he said it was too conspicuous when people stopped by for only 5 minutes. In hindsight he may have just been getting people to smoke him up.

        I had a guy like this once, except he was cool as fuck and smoked people up if they stayed and played Mario Kart. So, that’s how I learned how to play Mario Kart lol
