Dealing with Middlemen: Hints/Tricks for avoiding it or paying less while doing it

^Seems like stamps are more morbid lately. Dead Man Walking, DOA, Flat Line, Pull the Plug, etc, etc.
I know I could fucking kill myself. I don't need the motherfucking bags I'm prepping to remind me.
There's always been some of that around. Just seems like everything I grab lately is in that vein(heh.)

Haha , now the bags and the cigarette packs are depressing you!
 
The ones I'm getting are - Tasty Kake, Black Cat, Show time, Pac Man.
But I definitely ran into some morbid ones not too long ago. Such as - Body Bag, Voodoo, Sweet Dreams, Last Stop.
Anyways, I love the stamps. I wouldn't want it any other way.
 
Yeah Mr Scagnattie I have seen all the Drugs Inc programs, thanks for the tip though.

I do agree you guys have a cool system on the east coast, and I can certainly understand how over the years you have formed a ritual that involves the way it is packaged and stuff and that is why you prefer it. Still though, from a HR perspective it is probably less ideal than buying per weight. From a consumers perspective as well, if you disregard the uniqueness and the rituals you have come to love, it puts you at a disadvantage over those buying by weight because you are really at the mercy of the seller how much they decide to give you per bag. For me personally, I would much rather get a consistent weight than a number of bags but I am a pedantic motherfucker at times.
 
My most recent Morbid stamp was "Swine Flu"

Best stamp name I think I can recall is probably "Life Support" or "Therapy", but those were years ago, 08,09
 
told you guys, can of worms

it is interesting though

too interesting

Well, the bags are by weight or they should be, at least. Each stamp bag should be .1 but of course they rarely are and usually come up a little short. But, considering that the dope we get here on the east coast is high purity, consistently testing at 75% and above (yes, 75% and above), well hey, I'll take the smaller stamp bags over a "bag of weight" that has been cut to hell any day.

In other words, you're always going to be at the mercy of the seller whether you're getting smaller bags of higher purity dope or sandwich bags of dope with a greater amount of cut. So, I wouldn't necessarily say that we're more at the mercy of dealers because we're buying stamp bags.

EDIT: Sorry Tommy. Just had to say that... now back on topic! ;)
 
^ Didn't it at least used to be common to "weigh" out heroin with a spoon? In that case, the actual weight could vary greatly due to density, water weight and how generous/greedy the bagger is.



For me though, I find people are usually willing to accommodate you if you just throw them a little something on the side. Or when dealing with dealers who you KNOW cut the product themselves, asking to pay extra for the purer stuff almost always works. They might just take the extra money and give you the same stuff anyways, but usually they'll try and make the customer happy.
 
Yeah , what's up with law authorities basing the sentence off the total weight of your dope? Shouldn't they test for purity and then work out the quantity? Anyway one more reason to cut out the middleman (and cut out the cut , sorry couldn't help it). Anyway I throw this argument in with dealers besides offering more money for less cut , less product less risk (for me anyway)

I remember watching something on TV about the oxycontin epidemic; It might have been "The OxyContin Express," but anyway, I remember a cop on the documentary weighing out the percocet, vicodin, oxycontin pills and then writing down "OK so that's 14 bazillion grams of oxycodone, 147 ca-trillion grams of hydrocodone..." I couldn't believe it. I was like, "you got to be kidding me!"

I mean shit that cop was either stupid or just incredibly mean because anyone could calculate the mg of oxycodone or hydrocodone just by checking to see what kind of pill it is and then, y'know, with a bit of multiplication, you don''t even need a scale! But no, this cop measures the whole damn pill with its active ingredients and binders and everything else... ridiculous !
 
We used to use the coffee stir rods with the little scoops on the end. Thats supposedly why theyre hard to find now.

Cutting middle men for me meant calling their ass all the time with petty small buys to annoy them til they gave up the contact. 3am, 3pm, noon, midnight, anytime. Interrupt their day and night lol

That's a decent tactic, actually. Because let's face it, sometimes it sucks having to be the middleman and having to set deals up and shit, having to drive to this person's house and then the dealer and back home again, and it's just a lot of driving and running around and shit. So sometimes, especially when you have drugs already, you'd rather just chill than make out with a couple free bags after hours of running around.
 
Honestly it seems there is some inherent greed that comes with harder, more addictive drugs like heroin, cocaine and meth. With the kind of drugs I do, I usually just ask for a hook and they either help me get them or give me the number for free.


If they get me a good ass deal or it's something like weed where I can share I'll usually pay my gratitude with some free drugs, but it's not like they demand to get some. Really just an unspoken agreement, you help me and I'll help you... if there's only enough for myself though, obviously my high is the priority. I'd wait until I'm alone though, doing drugs in front of the dude who helped you get them is pretty whack

I'd simply tell you 'no' unless you were throwing me some money/drugs.
I mean, not that I'm an actual 'middle man' or anything, but there are times where I do have to middleman. Mostly because I'm the one with the vehicle.
& Unless you're buying me a bag, or throwing me $5 (On some occasions) I won't take you.
There are rare occasions where I'll go out of my way & pick you up to cop for free, but that's only if you're a good friend of mine. & My 'Good friends' group only consists of 3 people.
 
my gp is my middleman and the pharmacist too i guess but more the dealer.

here in australia we have a pharmaceutical benefits scheme which significantly cuts prices. and being on a pension i never pay much more than 5 for any of my meds covered by the pbs.

so i get near an 8ball of morphine, 200mg oxy and 250mg valium per for fortnight for those ridiculously low prices; a fraction of full price. if i were selling i would make quite a decent profit even if i were to sell well under street price.
 
holy shit...how the hell did you get a GP in Australia to prescribe you that much? It's near impossible to get a couple of valiums from a Dr in Australia.
 
I absolutely hate the process of acquiring drugs, especially Opiates and Benzos, because the dealers know they have us by the balls and you better fuckin believe they take full advantage. Most drugs, IMO Opiates included, shouldn't cost much more than food, which is cheap as hell. But dealers know they can charge more, they figure out exactly to the dollar what a user/addict will pay, and then that is what they charge them. Unless you have the long-time history or homie hook-up thing goin, which few do. I've come to respect a dealer that is always holding, nearly always on time, consistent high quality product, ideally more than one, who doesn't price gauge, but they are so few and far between.

I don't mind middlemen if they are willing to make an introduction after a few pick-ups... I don't mind kicking them down a bit if they don't make me jump thru hoops, try to make money off me, or steal from me. But like that elusive perfect dealer, so few people middleman in that style. And I hate it when middlemen try to make themselves appear as the dealer, when we both know they aren't.

The worst part about being a junkie is the full-time job that is scoring and maintaining your stash. I swear, sometimes it seems like at times I work harder at finding and acquiring what I want than I do at my "real" job.

Also, has anybody else come to the conclusion that soooo many doctors are just glorified drug dealers?
