I'll be honest, I have never used drugs recreationally in my life, I'm only asking out of curiosity. I hear from friends or on other forums about how someone died in a "drug deal gone wrong". How does that even happen? I assume it's business. You pay, and they give you the product. Where could any margin of error be? I mean unless someone is dumb enough to order A LOT of something and then short the dealer A LOT, then that would make sense, but then the dealer is a total shit for taking the money anyway. Can someone explain to me what this is about?
 
How does a company go bankrupt? They order their product, rip off the supplier, supplier files a lawsuit, company goes bankrupt. Or the supplier provides hazardous products, people file lawsuit, boom bankrupt.

Same basic idea, except the street drug business is illegal, and its just violence instead of lawsuits.

Drug deals "going wrong" cant be avoided just by being smart. It can happen to anyone in the drug scene, more likely to "hard drug" users, but yes it can happen to anyone.
 
If both sides have what both sides want at hand at the time of the deal, then nothing can go wrong so long as no one speaks out of place or tries to scam the other person.

The only stories I've heard of deaths during drug deals involve someone stealing large quantities of money or drugs.
 
they go wrong when some junky takes the product and runs or doesnt hand over the loot or your dealer decides its a good time to rob or/and kill you etc etc
 
it can go wrong in a million ways. for example if you ask someone to sell you and they don't want to sell or they don't know you they might kick your ass just for the sake of it. or if you try to buy in a block that isn't friends with your block. or get ripped off, get mad, get stabbed.
 
there is also a great deal of heightened emotions involved in drug deals, especially where alot of cash and product is concerned. dealers are addicted to the cash and junkies to the product, making any interaction between the two parties a more stressful situation than most. add the dreaded 3rd party, THE LAW into this occasion and it's easy to see how things could get volatile. of course these situations are few and far between. much more often, 2 folks who more or less trust each other are gonna get together and exchange goods and services for mutual benefit.
 
Pretty simple, one person tries to rip the other one off

Either the person stealing kills the other person so they can successfully steal, or the victim kills the thief in defense/revenge/to get their shit not stolen

Very occasionally it's just personal conflict, or one person is accused of being a CI, or someone thinks theyre going to get jacked, and shit goes downhill quick

deffinatly think this was THE best response so true so true
 
um...it can go wrong probably thousands of ways. Most common are: 1. they short you (if it's a street drug and measured in grams or what not) 2. They sell you bad product for too high of a price 3. They completely jack you and you end up with no money and no drugs.
 
It looks to me like everyone here has just about covered it all, but I'll just chime in here real quick and reiterate a point or two...

First, you have to remember that the drug dealers and the drug users both want what they want, and they'll fiercely seek out and protect their interests. The drug dealer wants money, and he'll do whatever he needs to in order to get it. The drug user wants drugs and, similarly will do whatever he needs to in order to get them. Trouble arises when one feels that the other isn't holding up his or her end of the bargain. If the drugs come up short or not on point, or if the money comes up short... it's not a good thing.

For the most part, if everyone does right by one another, then there's no problem at all. I've never had a problem, and I've never known anyone to have a problem, but it can happen...

You have to remember that, typically, a drug deal is a quick, quick transaction. It's not often, in my experience at least, that the drug dealer will even count the money on the spot; and it's not often that the drug user will check out the product's quality/quantity on the spot either. In my experience, it's all just done on trust... the dealer trusts me that I've given him the right amount of money, and I trust the dealer that he's giving me what I payed for. He quickly pockets the money, and I quickly pocket my drugs. So far we've never had a problem...

With larger quantities of drugs, well, things become just a bit more complicated. We've never bought in too large of quantities before, but we have purchased a bit more than "average," I suppose, on just two or three occasions, and I think that it's one of the few times I've seen a dealer count out the money on the spot, or thumb through it at least. With even larger quantities of drugs, I imagine that there exists an ever greater possibility of something going wrong, as it's an opportunity for one or the other to either a.) make out with a lot of money by shorting the drugs or b.) make out with a lot of drugs by shorting the money.

But, generally speaking, drug deals don't go wrong... the user comes through with the money and the dealer comes through with the drugs. Think about it, the dealer wants to stay in business, so it's in his best interest not to screw things up. And the user wants to continue picking up his drugs, of course, and so it's in his best interest to come correct and not short his dealer.
 
A goes to meet B behind a 7/11 with the intentions of buying 4 ounces of cocaine. A hops in B's car and the two shake hands shoot the shit for 2 minutes and A asks B to see the product. B says let me see the money. A hands him a stack of money and he hands it to C in the backseat to count. C says it's all there and B says alright lets see it. B nods to C and C hands him a paper bag with a quarter pound brick in it.. B says alright good looks we gotta roll out this spot is hot. A decides to try it out and realizes it's flour. A reaches into his belt and grabs the 9mm in his wasteban and puts it to B's head while C jumps out of the car with the money and starts running, the sound of the door slamming startles A and he squeezes the trigger, sending B's brains flying. C takes out his gun and starts shooting, several bullets hit A and 2 stray bullets go into the side of an adjacent house hitting Lakeesha Jackson in the throat and the second bullet hitting the infant she's holding in her hands, the bullet passing clean through, ricocheting out the window, bouncing off a parked van and ricocheting a final time off a stop sign before going right between C's eyes. he drops his gun and the impact causes it to go off one last time sending a bullet into the gas tank of a nearby schoolbus, igniting the fuel and creating an explosion that's heard for miles.

shit happens man, a drug deal usually goes bad when one person wants product but doesn't want to pay for it, or wants money and doesn't have product. of course some random outside force could cause it to go bad, but if both sides are being honest the chances are much less. Another possible scenerio is A asks to see the powder, C hands him the brick which happens to be real coke, and he pulls out a knife to cut into it like he's seen in the movies, but B thinks he's pulling the knife so he can rob him, and shoots A. then there's the obligatory chain reaction that obviously happens after that which I'll leave to your imagination, but all kinds of things can go wrong.

To me "drug deal gone wrong" is the sensationalist way to say someone got robbed.

Or, you know, killed... but that's usually more than just your typical, everyday "drug deal." It's more common, I'd imagine, as you go higher up on the ladder and the "drug deals" become, y'know, exchanging car keys and shit in parking lots with trunks full of money and dope.

But, then again, there are some crazy people in this world and I have heard of people getting killed over some stupid shit, just a small deal.
 
I had this happen recently - we gave a friend some money to buy some crack, and he STUPIDLY gave the money to the dealer and let the dealer "go and get the goods" while he waited in a car park... dealer never came back. Rule #1 when buying drugs - it always has to be a DIRECT exchange. Always.
 
a friend of mine was referred to another customer through an at the time good friend. this said customer wanted a large quantity of product. my friend told him to meet at a spot that he always uses, and the customer had already been tipped off about this meeting spot being the likely rendezvous. 3 guys came out from around the corner with ski masks and weapons and took all the product and cash on my friend and left back around the corner. that drug deal went wrong.
 
I'll tell you how it can go wrong...

When you're young and driving with a 1/2 ounce of weed, you and your uncle visit the local crack house. The house beside the crack house gets raided. It went wrong quick.

(Seeing guys with guns yelling get the fuck down! 15 feet away did not make me feel it was going any better)
 
It can go wrong just like legitimate business deals.. but in the case with drugs, there's no regulation, you can't call the cops, etc.. You're pretty much on your own. Though, you can avoid bad shit going down by dealing with professionals and not scum bags. There's a lot of classes of people in the drug game... a lot of them are just constantly ripping eachother off, robbing people, and doing anything other than be straight forward. But, those types of guys don't last. Eventually they just get killed, end up in jail, or nobody works with them anymore. Believe it or not there still is some honor among thieves and you'll be more successful and more respected if you're not a piece of shit.
