Did you ever have a friendship with your pot dealer, or do you? Do you have the idea that pot dealers in general are different from other drug dealers? Did ever happen to you that a pot dealer tried to have a friendship with you, but you felt awkward and uncomfortable? :)
 
Me and my ex were good friends with our dealer. We helped him move houses, were at his wedding and drove him to the hospital for the birth of his kids.

He wasn't just a pot dealer though. IMO it all depends on the person and the relationship you had with them before you started buying off them.
 
When I still had pot dealers (before consistent access to MMJ) probably 8 or 9 out of 10 of them were my friends before they became my dealers.
 
My best friend used to be my pot dealer. He also sold various other drugs but doesn't anymore since he got a promotion on his day job and bought a nice house with the cash he made from dealing.

that's how i feel. supporting a friend by buying pot off him feels to me like going to eat at the restaurant of a friend. i've known a lot of dealers though and most are strictly business relations, but ime even those pot dealers are more relaxed about it and have no problem with you hanging out on their couch and shooting the breeze for a bit over a bowl.
 
Always friendship developed over time. I felt that the dealers would be less paranoid of me being a rat if we became friends. And all the people I met I was introduced through my own friends.
 
It is so different, drug dealers are people too!

My roommate used to move A LOT and he used to have some ground rules to make shit seem less sketchy. If people came to pick up, they'd have to stay for at least an hour or 2, none of this in and out stuff. When you hang out with someone on a very regular basis it's an inevitability that a non-professional relationship would grow. We used to call these situations, and most dealer/dealee relationships "friends of convenience." People who are fun to hang out but you would never go out of your way to chill if it wasn't for the drug dealing. My roommate made people think they were friends, that was basically his job. So just remember, it's all part of their job.

But yea, in general weed dealers are way chill, most of them are stoners who are trying to make a little extra money. But I think if it comes down to the come down, it's all about the money.
 
I don't buy off of people I don't also consider friends. I hope that's a two-way street but it doesn't bother me any if it's not.

My reasoning: friends don't get friends caught up.


Purely business relations are quick to put all the blame on anybody they can when things go sour-- in my experience, at least.
 
I just don't get involved in that anymore. Commercial weed is garbage because you don't know where it comes from. With all the synthetic cannabinoids out there, and easy solutions to grow-op problems that involve toxic chemicals, I'm just too paranoid of a guy to trust or enjoy commercial shit, especially with all the side effects I've experienced from that shit. I don't like my dope to be handled by the gangs of immigrants who grow it around here with profit in mind and are otherwise completely useless to society. Where I am from, and most everywhere else, the cannabis trade is controlled by gangs of murderers just like other street drugs. People who try to profit off of cannabis on a street level are no better in my books, and I always despised the pathetic fake friendships they would try to make with me straightaway. Never trust a dealer, the moment you quit smoking weed you are useless in their books.
 
All of my dealers/sources are my friends. This is something I think anti-drug advocates completely don't realize...not all dealers sell on street corners and are unapproachable scary people. Most people in the drug culture around me look out for each other more than most clubs or communities. We're friends in every sense of the word and it pisses me off to no end that drug dealers are all labeled as outlaws and criminals. If I ever got arrested for selling drugs I would %100 use this as my reason as to the questions "why are you selling drugs?" and "why don't you realize what you're doing is wrong". It's not wrong officer I sell these drugs to my FRIENDS. I'm not hurting anyone, selling to little kids, any of the bullshit you think I'm doing.
 
I wouldn't call my heroin dealer my friend though. I'd call him necessary evil. Not all drug dealers are fun to deal with. They are just like any other people really, some are great and some are not.
 
Street level weed dealers are a different breed than most other dealers. Most of the time weed dealers I've known were doing it to make a little extra cash or to fund their weed habit. It's hard to make a living off weed, especially when it's so much easier to make a living off more expensive drugs.

I'm so glad I live in CA. Don't have to deal with dealers anymore!
 
I became good friends with most of my marijuana dealers. The scummy ones I never even tried to befriend, and not too recently I stopped associating with dealers like that. I have never bought from dealers who sell cocaine, heroin, pharmaceuticals, PCP, etc, but I would assume they aren't the kind of people you want to be friends with. Legitimate dealers of psychedelic drugs are a completely different story though. They're so kind and people who use such drugs usually have a lot in common. But I have met my fair share of people selling "fake" psychedelics too, they don't count.
 
I like psych dealers a lot too. A lot of them genuinely feel happy to be able to help people. A lot of them are really chill people. Psych dealers really don't make that much money, LSD is dirt cheap, and most asshole wholesale dealers don't even bother with it.
 
From my experience when I start buying weed from a legitimate dealer I become friends with them by default. When I buy from them I usually smoke a joint or two with them before leaving. Eventually we start hanging out more even when I'm not buying from them. On the other hand, I have come across dealers that will just sell me the weed and don't even engage in any conversation whatsoever. I usually stop buying from them as I know they're the shady ones. They usually take a joint or two out of the bag before selling to me. If they're legit, they'll be friendly, if they're scamming you, they won't.
 
I've never brought weed from somebody I didn't have a personal friendship with, myself. IME even the 24/7 pro cannabis dealer tends to be far more approachable and friendly than say your average "hard" drug dealer.
 
Quite a large number of people I have purchased cannabis from regularly over the years have been friends of mine, although there have been plenty that were purely business relations in that time as well. I could say the same about ecstasy, meth and various other drugs as well though, although not quite to the same extent. I would say probably 3/4 of regular cannabis dealers I have had I was either friends with when I started dealing with them or formed a friendship through being a customer that outlasted our business relationship.

Drug dealers are just regular people that happen to sell drugs to make money, a whole heap of people end up dealing at some point in their lives, I mean it is just natural that some friends of yours will be dealers and you would rather go through mates than acquaintances.
 
current dealer is a good friend, was a good friend long before dealing pot to me though
as for are pot dealers in general different to other drug dealers - i guess there are two sorts of stoners, those who think they are somehow removed as a group from other illicit drug users, and those who don't, the former are ridiculously stupid and annoying
