hey guys,
:badday:
I just had the worse day ive experienced in a couple years. Ive been a lil short on money lately, so my girlfriend who literally bust her ass gave me some money to pay my electric bill and internet. (Shes great, I love her to death). I tend to get a little nasty at times when I dont have any smoke, so she even gave me some cash to get a bag of herb as well. So today was my fathers birthday and I went over to spend the day with him. He was out of marijuana by this point(old nam vet) but I had a couple bowls left and we smoked them. At this point, I call a friend to try to get some herb. This guy has been shady in the past, but always came through and I had recently been spending alot of time with him.
So I call the dude up and he says he will see what he can do. My dad gives me a $100 to pick up some birthday herb and I was going to toss in and get a quarter myself with the money my girlfriend gave me. So when I arrive at my friends house, I find out we can only get "middys" for $70 a quarter.
Perfect! Thats exactly how much money I was given to buy a bag. So we travel a few minutes up the road and meet his friend, who had the weed.

Well thats where the shit starts, apparently there are ounces to get for $200 a Z. I start doing the math in my head, I have $170 bucks with the intention of just getting a half.

Hmmm, $30 dollars more can get an Oz! So I call my old man up and tell him the deal and its good to go. I would spot the remaining $30 take my quarter and my dad can 3 quarters. So I hand this cat that I dont know $200 and my buddy hands this cat $200. And he then gives it to another guy and tells us we have to wait there for like 10 minutes when it gets cut up.

3 hours later, no weed. We finally get in touch with the guy who had our money and he says the guy who we picked up only gave him $80(that was owed to him) and pocketed the rest. He flattly denies it all, and says that guys lieing. So now its the its not my fault game. So a game insues of ill be there with your weed, an hour later "Im on my way".....meet me here.....meet me there........ Ultimately, I just got ripped out of $100 that was suppost to be for my bills and a bag of herb. This was money given to me by my kind gf, and I got dicked out of it. On top of that, my father got dicked out of $100 on his birthday.


It was all obviously a set up, and I thought my "friend" would know better then to trust somebody like that. He kept telling me its okay, this guys cool.......and it turned out he was anything but cool.


Now I feel horrible, literally. I have this terrible feeling. Shame, guilt, regret, anger, frustration, rage you name it and I feel it. Its a sickening feeling. My gf worked hard for that money, and out of the kindness of her heart gave it to me because I love to smoke and I lose it! And I lose my old mans money on his birthday too. I was given $70 for a bag, I start to do my stoner math and figure I can use $30 of the electric bill money to get the ounce for my dad and I to divide up,I would be compensated back and it would all work out.

It didnt. It all went horribly wrong.

damn that sucks man. i gotta second "ToKEN" though and be condescending: you didn't seriously give $200 to a stranger to give to someone else for weed sight unseen?! that's what happens... i only get out my $$$ when the herb's right there so a trade can be made, unless i personally know and trust everyone involved.

same here, unless I see green, I am fresh outta green myself. I happily wait for a delivery but it is never cash up front. Anyway lesson learned. i'm sure you won't do it again.

hope its all upside for you from here on in
peace

We all get suckered once in a while - nature of the business that you can't always deal with people you know. Seriously, I'd never talk to these dumb thieving tossers if it weren't for chronic insomnia impairing judgement. And I've never met a decent dealer.

Damn I hate the stupid law.


Bad luck dude.

Well ofcourse the plan didnt start out with all of these strangers involved. It was a routine deal that went anything but routine. The story literally started changing on the spot, with my friend assuring its okay.

Thanks for the response guys.

Better you than me. I say this because this is a lesson I learned long...long ago.
I learned it so well that before I would hand money over I have to see the "goods".
Honestly I have not bought smoke in more than 10 years and things change.

This would be seal clubbin' time. Get both of the clowns in one place. You will always be a sucker if you let this go. They know you can not call the Better Business. So they must be expecting some pop knots.

man getting ripped off happens to the best of us, atleast it seems that way

over the summer i had quit my job and decided to be a lazy stoner for awhile, lol i regret it but i eventually got a better job where i wanted to work.

so i was pickin up a good bit of bud from this guy, i call him one day looking for a qp usually around 400 and always straight if not heavy, he tells me he dont got any but he would look for me, calls about 5-10 minutes later tells me his brother got a qp for 420 so i get the money together and meet him...low and behold i got ripped

honestly if i were a no good dealer i would have done the same, but no all i wanna do is smoke and thats what i get for just trying to smoke, this is why people actually need to grow so that they dont get ripped and you have wayy better bud than middies anyways

People can be very convincing at times.

Turn it into a positive experience. You should never get ripped off again after this. A good lesson but at a cost.

sorry to hear of your trouble... next time learn this little mantra

no weed, no cash
no weed, no cash

say over and over and next time tell him

no weed, no cash

when you come back with weed I will have your cash...

until then I would find the guy and extract the $200

the only people that fuck with you n ur glock 9 are people that also have straps...so in one way its always good to have but if shit goes sour everyone is duckin and dodging
 
Sucks but it's a relatively cheap lesson learned....Don't front your money. I learned this lesson long ago with $300 which sucked but I got over it and learned from my mistakes.

Whoever said carry a gun what a fucking moron, very stupid idea, no drug is worth your life whther it be in the ground or sittin in a cell. Since when does getting a bag of bud require a firearm, are we crackheads now or what....as said handing someone money before you get anything isn't too bright. If I were in that situation though I would meet up with him again, and show him I am not to be fooled with...some take the hint, others you have to get a bit physical... or you can forget bout it and lesson learned for next time.

where i come from we call those LIL JITS = IE lil wanna be gansters...who are slanging bags of crap and would rob you in a heart beat. I only buy erb from kids i knew in highschool who i still know...13 +yrs later....i know where they live...where they work...where their kids go to schoool...you feeling me? fuck a gun, get an adress or something.....all you need to know is where they live. I agree you are a bad stoner, toting guns and weed is a megga felony, not only that but it sets a truly horrible example for us on the boards...giving reason for cops to say were drug crazed gun toting ..w/e w.e's

just wisen up dood, get a connect and stick with it...for as long as you can....if not...grow your own.....good luck man hop karma gets these fools back
