L.M. British Columbia here haven't been able to find anything here which really upsets me seems to be harder to get as the days go on or maybe I'm just an idiot
Dude... if you can't find it in the lower mainland you're not looking. Go checkout Wally or DTES depending on where you live, either place you can cold-cop open-air no problem, quality will be who knows... Everyone who lives in Vancouver knows where the junkies hang on DTES, in Wally you should be able to figure it out as it's all pawn shops, methadone clinics, pharmacy, dollar stores, etc.. low income area, park in an appropriately shitty area and just ask where the strip is, someone will point ya in the right direction. If you go to the DTES, post up and smoke a couple of cigs, you should be able to find a dealer pretty easily if you're not blind, or when someone bums a cig ask em what's good around there....
I prefer Surrey as I feel it's far easier and less heated typically, plus right by transit so you can GTFO easy when you're done, note that if you drive you should park at least 2 or 3 blocks from the strip, I don't recommend driving down it as it's too high profile, walk in from one side, do you biz and walk out the other way so you're not doubling back, then walk around the block to your car. Most people selling down there are users and don't have phones, but if you look around you should be able to find a real dealer with a phone who may deliver, it's pretty easy to tell a real dealer vs user, just look at the shoes, or people on scooters.... That being said, I have heard there's a lot of fire on the DTES and probably more options but it's a bit of a ride for me. If you go at night(don't go past 1 or so) it's honestly impossible not to find it, when you walk up to the area people will ask you what you need, if not you can ask any of the people posted up and they'll point you in the right direction. I find the best time to go is late afternoon/early evening, there's a lot of people getting off work and copping and generally there's a lot of traffic so it's less sketch, plus there's a lot of dealers because it's busy so you can get a decent deal if you're buying more than a couple points.
If you're too scared to just walk up to people and ask what's good, you can always pay a homeless or someone shooting up(fairly common occurrence) to middle it for you, don't give them the money just tell them you'll give em $5-10, whatever if they take you to the dealer, do your business then break them off. I did this when I first got there and didn't know the scene at all, I can say that I've never failed to cop in Surrey. One time, I think it was Easter or something, I was wearing a shirt that said "Security" from HP and the dope boys wouldn't fuck with me, didn't even think of it lol but I just went around the block and found someone else. Sometimes you have to wait a bit if there's a lot of heat around but usually they'll just walk down the block.
If you're desperate and there's nothing happening on the strip, you can always pay a hooker to middle, they can always get dope and it's usually pretty fire as most of them are strung to down, it's impossible to miss them at night.... I've done that a few times really late at night (like 2 or 3) before I had 24/7 connects and it always worked out, I'd usually get them to introduce me to the connect for $20 or a point.
I went back to Vancouver for a few weeks over Xmas, while I had no trouble finding it at all, everything I could find seemed weak but I've been doing dark web stuff that's typically pretty good. Will have to look hard when I get back to Vancouver as the normal down that was around was eh... the only decent stuff with almost BTH-like, very dark and could be fairly hard but gave me pretty intense pins & needles each time, not a fan.
