Watch those dealers! - The Dutch Experience - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Puffin13 · 07-27-2009, 10:12 AM

My wife and I went to her favorite coffeeshop, over the weekend. As she found us a seat I waited in line, to buy weed, with 3 male tourists in front of me. I usually watch dealers and how they weigh the herb. The 3 guys in front of me each ordered 3 grams. I watched the dealer take the plastic container from the scales and the digital display read -41.86, once the container was removed. He put the container back on the scales and the display read 0.71, then he quickly proceeded to add the weed to the container, and weigh out the 3 grams. I watched him do this for each one of the 3 customers. The tourists paid no attention to what the dealer was doing. If only 1 gram had been ordered, I'm sure these tourists would have noticed the difference.

When it was my turn to be served, I watched him try and do the same thing to me. I asked him to zero it out after he put the container on the scales. He just looked at me kinda funny and zeroed it out.

My point is, watch those dealers when they are weighing your purchase! I dont know if what I witnessed was accidental or not. I tend to think not by the way he looked at me. Be careful out there! Peace.

(I purposely did not give the name of the shop cause I think this could happen anytime, anyplace; by accident or not)

shit like that (fucking with weight, depending on how much) can put you in sticky situations in the US with drug deals...i know people personally who got shot for shortin' sacks..

I say he knew it. That is his job. To zero it out.

But, shooting someone for a short, or a scale mistake....?? That's Today's America... Mostly attitude... but, Anger Management failures are legion.

Apologizing for anything, being gracious, or even polite is now considered weak in the American West. Welcome to hell. It is moving east. Like many things do.

Watch those dealers wherever you are...

Which proves that our current drug policy is nothing more than a miserable failure.

and the reason can go two ways:
1. Shop Policy- fleece the tourists and unaware.
2. Counter boy is doing it on his own for his personal head stash.

either way watch the scale at the coffeeshop and the butcher.
