'Mutts' can unite tribes :-)
Sam’s workday usually starts late in the afternoon as Vancouver’s aggressive partiers begin looking for a way to chemically enhance their fun.

Most nights of the week, a host of twenty- and thirtysomethings call Sam’s work phone throughout the evening and into the early morning looking for ecstasy and cocaine. Despite recent headlines about the deadly PMMA-laced ecstasy pills, Sam’s phone still rings with clients searching for a good time.

The charismatic 30-year-old drives in and around downtown Vancouver meeting clients in his nondescript hatchback. Sam, who agreed to the interview on the condition The Sun use an alias, says his customers include kindergarten teachers, financial advisers and even doctors.

In his designer scarf and coat, Sam more closely resembles his customers than the stereotypical Lower Mainland drug dealer tattooed and clad in sparkly Affliction or TapouT T-shirts.

The University of British Columbia graduate fashions himself as an independent businessman, carefully growing a base of patrons. He began with a circle of close friends and grew his roster of clients through word of mouth to about 150. Some are loyal weekly callers, others occasional purchasers who contact him every few months. Almost every week he puts a new customer into his work phone, a cheap cell with a number separate from his personal smartphone.

I don't get why drug dealers agree to do interviews, whether or not they get their voice muffled or name changed. It just seems like they'd like to avoid any ties to drug dealing-no matter how much their identity is covered up. Thats just how I see it anyways.
 
Everything's good for sam till the shit hits the fan, which it usually does, and he'll wish he would have stuck with his day job.

Well, how are they going to find him? He could be anybody, and even if they did, any good lawyer could dismiss the case, there could be nothing but circumstantial evidence


I think this is a good article, but I dont like how they say MDMA is a "better" form of ecstasy. It IS ecstasy, anything else, it not.

T'was a sad day when my long time molly supplier was finally busted. His girlfriend of 2 years was actually an undercover sow and somehow he didn't catch on all that time - he regularly would get high on his own supply though. What a party pooper that bitch turned out to be.

As a Vancouverite I can easily say that this is not the stereotypical lower mainland drug dealer.....
I would never buy my drugs from someone who carrys them around in a gucci murse / likes to buy 300$ t shirts.

The one time I bought mdma from someone who fits this stereotype I was not sober at a show (my poor judgement...) and i got fucking piped.
Most of my dealers are hippie types that like to sit and chit chat about their various pets.

Nowadays I would also follow your example. Live in luxury and you're more likely to arouse suspicion from the pigs. Better to just act middle class. Years ago, we're talking back in '02, I had a dealer who - 2 weeks after he decided he didn't like his Civic and imported an orange NSX which he further souped up - was caught carrying about 100 ecstasy pills and an ounce of blow. Apparently he was originally pulled over because he had illegally tinted windows, which then the cop noticed he was intoxicated.
