    Through one of their clients is probably reliable. I’ve seen reports of some people advertising rather openly, eg on social media or dating apps… I don’t know what to say about that. Nothing good.

    I don’t know anyone who’s had trouble with online orders on darknet markets, maybe in the meantime that’s an option.

      I know a few legit dealers who do their business on Snapchat and instagram lol. As far as I know, they haven’t turned coats, but I still wouldn’t go with them out of principle because they prioritize mass appeal over security for themselves and their clients.

    Get a retail or service job lol. 9/10 times if you’re cool then someone will eventually ask “hey do you smoke?” If you seem uptight and adhere to le rules based order of the company, then they will probably not say anything to you.

    However people will usually only mention weed. You may have to deliberately mention other drugs if you want to seek it out.

    I should note that I am young, so my age may have been a factor because most of the coworkers who brought this up were either around the same age or younger. There were a couple older guys who also asked me, but that’s because the nature of our work got us in contact with drugs frequently.

    Alternatively you can also probably ask your friends for connections. Someone is bound to know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy from three states over who knows another guy in your city.

      pain last time I tried this I got a weird look and told “not around here”. In fairness, I give off uptight vibes and follow the rules because covering my ass on the easy stuff lets me uncover my ass on the stuff that actually matters (stealing like 5-10 minutes every shift).

        As long as you’re not hounding your coworkers and try to make an effort to talk with them regularly, they should usually be the one to ask you. I’m pretty uptight too but when managers aren’t around I’m usually trying to chat everybody up

    Homeless people. No joke. We can get you whatever, and it’s not just “homeless people drugs” (meth, crack, heroin, fentanyl). You’ll need to establish a rapport with us first, and that goes for anyone you ask. Expect to be told “No” a lot.

    NEVER EVER EVER let anyone walk away with your money. The only bag they’ll come back with is a bag full of dumb excuses. It’s easy enough to find someone who’s in pocket.

    And again rapport building is important. Don’t just ask a random homeless person where to get whatever. Be generous too. We have hard lives beyond what you could possibly ever imagine.

    Also guys next time ping me when there’s a thread like this lolol.

      It’s fucking cold out, I’ve been meaning to start giving out socks and stuff. I appreciate everyone else that gave an answer, but karmically this seems the most likely way to succeed. I appreciate the advice on money, TV always has a runner with the money and some other person holding the stuff. I woulda fallen for it.

    I once was asked by some teenagers where they can find something “sweet” and I pointed them towards a bakery, thinking they wanted pastry or something. So unless you tell what city you live in, I can’t tell you where the nearest casino is.

    A great fast way is to wear an outfit that makes you look like you do drugs, and start walking around in areas where dealers are going to be. One will eventually ask you if you want anything

    You can also do this at night after all the bars and clubs close and wait until some dude high on hard drugs start talking to you. Just vibe with them and eventually they’ll either ask you to do some crack/meth/heroin or you can just ask them where you can find a dealer

    I’ve never tried to do either explicitly cause I already know somebody but the drugs always finds me whenever I do either of these things

      I walked around London with a friend, I was wearing a hoodie and he was was wearing jeans and a jacket. He got offered drugs three times, but not me. They must have assumed I had already gotten some.
