Besides the actual drug...what do you enjoy about the drug game?

It's a cool feeling when you go to cop from your guy and another customer rolls up; it's like, "yeah, you know what's up!" lol

It's dumb, and I know that it's dumb because at the end of the day, it's not an exclusive club at all. Hell, lots of people, tons of people do dope, and they all get their fixes one way or another, but it's just that, from an individual's perspective, like my own, well... there aren't too many people we associate with who do dope -- not my boss, not my mom or dad, not my close friends; it's only a handful of people who do, and so we all sort of "know what's up."

I don't know, guess it's hard to explain. I know it's dumb, though, but that's just how it feels to me. It's like when you're going to a party where everyone is drinking beer and smoking weed because these are more socially-acceptable... uh... indulgences... and so you and your friend go to the car real quick to sniff a few bags. It's just a little more exclusive-feeling, you know? (shrugs)

Being in random fucking parking lots at 2am with crazy fucking people... the thrill of the chase... getting away with all kinds of crazy shit... that person in front of you and that person behind you are at the store for milk and cigarettes and you're here to take money out of the ATM to buy a shit load of drugs... the possibility of getting arrested any minute... living in that space between life and death... coming up with ways to get money and drugs you never thought possible... seeing someone else in ''the game'' and just giving them a knowing look... always having a one-up or a secret on someone... you versus the rest of the world...

Why am I romanticizing drug use? Because I'm a fool... but there is definitely something sexy about it...

Hah. My feelings exactly. Only it's really too risky for me as a girl but I'm too out of touch with reality to really realise. And I always seem to get saved by some guardian angel before it goes all too wrong.
 
I used to like a lot of things around my drug use.
First of all to own that magic button that made me feel good whenever I wanted.
To have that dirty little secret no one knew about. To get high in public (family, friends, work), sitting/standing there, feeling the drugs kick in and just thinking "yeah, that's the rush you will never have."
Of course the rush of aquiring drugs and the anticipation on the way home.
Somehow the crazy shit that I did while high.
 
I've made some of my closest friends while high and drugs have just gone hand in hand with the last handful of years of my life.

No bad experiences & memories (fuzzy or clear) that I'll keep close to me always.

I'm female as well and I definitely agree there are some rules for us in this "game" that are a bit different than those for the boys. As a female who sometimes cops alone on foot in dangerous neighborhoods, I've learned to be hyperaware of my surroundings & always be ready to defend yourself. Not that you should stand around waiting in a Karate pose, but know how to diffuse situations verbally and know how to read people's body language. Some people have been in the drug "game" a bit too long and can be unpredictable. Those are the ones to which you want to pay close attention. I try as much as I can to buddy up with someone else and feel a lot safer with even just one other person with me.
 
Rabidrabbit, maybe you're just a bit too paranoid. I live in a dangerous neighbourhood, and then spend most of my time in another dangerous neighbourhood. Yeah sure, the people hanging in dark parks or corners can be scary sometimes, and they shout out silly stuff to passing girls, but everyone I've ever hanged with would probably never hurt or intimidate a girl. As a matter of fact, most of them would beat the shit out of anyone who tries, especially if that someone is someone they know. But I guess, there's always retards in every neighbourhood.

But you can understand what rabidrabbit is saying, right?

For me, the "danger" in "dangerous neighborhoods" comes from not knowing what something is. For example, we were waiting on our guy one time to come out of his house and serve us. There was a car driving very, very slowly up and down the block. Is it a cop? Are they gangbangers looking for trouble? Who the fuck are they and what do they want? We were fucking panicking...

So when our guy came down to serve us, I asked him about it. He looked up, recognized the car, and said, "oh yeah, that's nothing, just a pimp..." It was a fucking pimp, I don't know, looking for his hoes or something... but the point is, it was nothing for us to worry about. He was doing his thing, and we were doing ours, and that's basically how it goes in most "dangerous neighborhoods."

In fact, you yourself make up a part of that dangerous neighborhood, that hood ecosystem, when you stop long enough to think about it. You're there to buy drugs, from a drug dealer, who may or may not have gang affiliations and who may or may not know the pimp driving up and down the block. Do you see what I'm saying? And you have to remember that, in these neighborhoods where there's lots of gang activity, "random acts of violence" are usually anything but random.

Our guy used to always tell us whenever we'd be freaking out that no one will ever fuck with us because they all know exactly what we're there to do, exactly who we're there to see, and unless they want trouble, they'll stay the fuck away from us. And, after seeing him for almost a year now, I can honestly say that he's been right. Never had a problem before... not even a minor incident.
 
You are correct, Verso. All that dangerous stuff is mainly reputation and random events that turn bloody. Just doing your thing doesn't put you in any danger, basically, you're only in danger if you're looking for it.

Example: One big guy shows up and starts molesting young teenage girls in the block. Suddenly, everyone knows about it. Everyone runs there to see whats happening, and get rid of the guy. After arriving at the scene, we found the guy face down on the ground, unconscious. What happened? Well, apparently, "someone" rammed him with a car, beat the shit out of him and left smoothly. That's not dangerous, that's fucking righteous. But that's how the "dangerous" reputation is made.

The moral of the story is, just mind your own stuff and no-one will touch you.
 
I'd rather be a little too paranoid than a little too complacent. Like verso said, I understand that I am a seedy element in a neighborhood and sometimes I feel guilty when I see kids who live there playing and I'm that person contributing to the drug market, keeping the gangs & black market alive by supporting them financially because of my addiction to drugs... But I wouldn't be if drugs were decriminalized and sold legally and taxed, etc, it's definitely "bigger picture" type shit... I don't feel like someone is going to attack me at random when I go into an unfamiliar neighborhood. I feel 100x safer in some random neighborhood in Brooklyn than I do in, say, Times Square because everyone in Times Square is an anonymous face and anonymity usually brings out the worst in people whereas in that neighborhood in Brooklyn, people know who's who and what's what and will stand up for where they live no matter how poor the neighborhood is. I always mind my own business. I don't have that "OMG I'm white therefore I am a target" mentality. I always keep my eyes in front of me, focused on my own business rather than everyone else's when I am somewhere I don't feel entirely comfortable so I can be done ASAP.
 
The adventure.

As a kid growing up in white suburbia I was told to never venture to certain parts of town. I was told who the bad guys were. I was afraid of it all.

One day I broke out of the shell. I learned that 99% of people are nice once you get to know them personally. There were a lot fewer real bad guys out there.

Making friends.
I was meeting people that live their life the way they want to live it and not according to what society tells them to do; Even if that means being a drug addict or homosexual. I think there's a deep level of fearlessness in their life style that defines them not as scum, but free. While the "good" side of society is stuck working like slaves, only being rewarded with alcohol, the "bad" side enjoys a freedom that only the forefathers of America experienced.

If you're not going to be a rich, successful motherfucker, you might as well be a poor, happy, free one.
 
The friendship aspect. It is like an instand bond or if not a conversation piece. I think everyone whether there willing to admit it or not wants that person to smoke ice with or drool on themselves with or get baked with before work/school.
It's a big secret we keep from the rest of the world and even though we (usually and shouldn't) feel guilty aboot it. It's nice to be able to get it off ur chest lol xP
I think the friendship aspect most is what I'd miss (and sense my bestfriend/drug buddy moved) DO indeed miss. I miss her laughing at me when I'd nod out randomly after acting like I'm not ducked up lol, I miss ripping open a balloon and snorting lines off the coffee table while everyone's watching tv and NO ONE thinking it out of place. But those are also the things I love most xD and will (sadly) cherish forever :/ lol :)
I also love the secret signals or the subtitle signs like walking down the hall at school and seeing ur drug buddy and both of u laughing ur asses off cuz u noo ur fucking gone and no one else does. The little things I guess lol xP coulda added more but ya'll gets its xD
 
the worst part about being in the ghetto and not being black or latino is just the stares

seriously

everyone

just stares as you drive / walk past

and they all know whats up

I had to take a detour once because I was driving behind a police car for like 5 minutes and he turned on the exact street I was going to cop at like talk about bad timing

but something about that feeling of getting the shit and driving off and getting at least a block away without headlights is a good feeling
 
Idk. I see what Renz is saying, that alot of people that I was told as a child and my early teens were horrible people ended up being very nice and good intentioned people who had a different view on life than my parents. Drug game taught me that.

But it also taught me that life is not a fairy tale. I realize now that when I was younger I thought my parents were angels. Never did anything wrong. But me being in the culture of drug use that I am, which led to legal trouble, brought those things out. Everyone has that shady side. Hell even people I have trusted my life with, and thought I knew everything about ended up having a side I never saw. A good friend of mine that was good bit older than me helped me out of alot of shit. I chilled with him all the fucking time. I guess I didnt want to beleive my suspicons because he had the best fucking connects ever, but it was odd how his court cases kept getting pushed back when it was obvious he should of been in prison, and how he knew dirt on alot of the cops, and even when a cop saw him handing a case of beer and a half gallon of vodka to me (defiantly dont look 21) when the cop realized who it was he just winked at me and kept going.

I guess what I am getting at is ive learned alot about people and how to be confident in myself thanks to the drug game. Its changed my life. Ive fucked up alot, but honestly I think I am a stronger person because of it.
 
I just found out what a small world the drug game is in my city amongst certain circles...so freaky!

So I've been looking for some decent base and a friend gave me her friend's email addy as she thought she might have a good connect.We started chatting via email and struck up a bit of a friendship.She asked me if I knew where to get some good pills,so I gave her a friend's email addy,and it turns out they were already in contact from somewhere else and were making a deal!

So I'm meeting this girl on the weekend to score and she mentioned she was in events mangement and did some modelling.I model too and said we probably have a lot of friends in common.So we exchanged facebook info,and it turns out,not only are we already friends on facebook,but we've been to a tonne of the same fashion events and parties,and we're tagged in each other's pics and have chatted a bit when out at these things!!

Quite a shock actually,and we both agreed the drugs thing was our little secret :p

It was interesting though,as we were both emailing under fake names,so were being quite open and friendly,but if I had known it was this girl from facebook when we originally started talking,I'd have dismissed her as I thought she was a bit of a luvvo.Ahh isn't it wonderful how drugs bring people together? =D
 
I like the drug game just so I know I've done my little bit for crime in my city ;)
