Other than ordering the occasional online treat and whatnot, the
illegal drug scene that I've been involved with is mostly weed oriented.
When I lived in Cali I bought from all sorts of types: friends with medicinal, college stoner types, home-growers, wannabe thugs that roll around with a couple of zips in the car, random-ass street hustlers, the Humbolt or lake hippy types etc. Basically pretty light.
The drug scenes that some acquaintances of mine (even if we lived together, I don't find these dudes to be friends) were involved with (meth mostly) I hear were much more hardcore but so as to not talk out of my ass about some shit I've never been involved with, I'll let the tweakers tell their tales themselves.
Here, in the largest city in Bulgaria, the weed scene is strange to me since apparently the mafia controls the trade and supposedly they like to rough you up if you fuck with their trade. I've never seen them personally, but it makes sense, since the prices are a bitch and everyone I know is real scared about dealing.(though they might just be pussies, so idk) The only time I've seen any real shady ass dudes here is the guys protecting the mostly tranny whores at night. Sounds like the kind of place to cop dope though, which isn't a scene I even want to be around. [not that i'm into tranny whores or anything

I'm a pretty square dude, just keeping to the thread...] I hear the heroin scene is pretty bad, especially since treatment doesn't really exist in this country but again I don't wanna talk out of my ass.
My weed dealers at this point are just slightly paranoid city kids who to sell out of fronts or do deliveries.
