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.
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.
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
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
When I was in college, this girl who was whip smart in one of my bio classes invited me over, and I quickly discovered she was a prolific weed dealer. Never in a million years would I have guessed
I interviewed a drug dealer that has been in the field for over 25 years.
He looks just a regular guy. Nice house. Two kids. A wife who works.
You would have no idea this neighbor was a dealer.
My coke dealer (I'm sober now) was a huge Trump fan. He loved to talk about it. He first told me the same day Trump said all drug dealers should be put to death, so not the most insightful person. He later fled the country to escape a domestic battery charge. Coke dealers, not great people.
A guy I worked with used to sell. I went over to his place one time and he had literally dozens of strains, just because he liked trying them but didn't smoke a lot. If you bought from him he would give you several different kinds and insist that you keep a journal of how different they all felt lol.
I mean, that's just kids really. The heavy hitters are selling crack, heroin, the really horrible stuff you know. Well maybe cocaine is also a bit sketchy but the acid guy isn't that bad right?
Yeah no stick to the hippie dealers. 3 kinds of weed, LSD, and they've been thinking of growing a batch of shrooms and want to know if you're interested.

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.

No face to face contact this way.

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.

The places most of them live didn't care about 5 minutes stops.
Also It's never a secret to the neighbors.

Sheen also sold but he had a bloody 2 dollar bill that he would use to snort Purple Flurp. Carl was a much better option.

He and I wrote a book together.

There is a big difference between a "weed guy" and a drug dealer.
Show me a person who has 3 different kinds of weed, cocaine, LSD, and pills and I'll show you a scary person.

Hey, that guy you're describing is sometimes just a really well spoken dude outside a concert venue with a backpack. It's not all sinister.
