isnt it funny how drugs break friendships?

I had a good friend I met in jail/rehab (not best place to meet a friend but still). we ended up both being released to the same in-house rehab program. that was the spectrum house back in 04 here in MA. when both released I had to go into a halfway house because it was court appointted and he got to head home. from there we became friends and stayed sober for a bit. hung out, grab food, etc. then he got back into 80's (they were still around then) and I was staying away because I still had piss tests, etc. toward the end of those tests I started to dabble more and more and 80s. he was giving me "friend" pricing at the time. once 80's got cut we moved to 30's and my pricing got higher and hgher. as time went on we moved to BROWN TOWN and he'd sel my G's for things that did NOT WEIGH OUT TO A G AT ALL! the friendship fell apart to drugs and he just became a dealer; sure, we'd both still talk as friends a bit but pricing was DEF NOT FRIEND PRICING. once in a GREAT WHILE he'd let me pick up a quarter ounce for HIS PRICE, or so he says, but even that was NOTHING compared to what I was paying.

its just funny how drugs kills friendships; then again, the kid and I met in jail, so what did I really expect? ha.
 
If you are a dealer and looking to legitimately make some money on it than your friends pay the same price everyone else does, especially low level dealers as there is not much profit to be made any way.
I don't think he's wrong here at all.
 
Sounds like the business life of a junkie.

If he's the one with the connects he can really charge you whatever he wants.
I wouldn't take it as personal, he's gotta have some sort of profit if he deals heroin.
 
^
I agree with that but I wouldnt be happy if the shit didnt even weigh up!.
The problem isnt the drugs, its the same thing thats killed alot of friendships...money.
Try using a different dealer for a while and see if your friend still wants to hangout. If hes not bothered about you unless your a customer, then you will know where you stand.
 
i dont take it as an insult; kids more junked out than I am cuz he's still a sniffer and needs more. I just think it's funny how people go from being "friends" to just seeing each other when it comes to a buy only. not the first time this happened to me over the years. drugs change things; alot of things.
 
its a shitty dynamic for sure. you either stop being friends or stop doing the drugs, very hard to find a middle ground that lasts an extended period of time.

usually it ends poorly at least from my experience
 
it works out differently on a case by case basis

one of my best friends i met 5 years ago, our friendship is based on common interests not limited to cars, working out, etc. but first and foremost it was drugs. weed and painkillers mainly. our relationship hasn't suffered at all because of it. he sells to me mainly, but has also given me so much shit over the years that any money he's made off of me has been completely mitigated by his generosity. of course the road goes both ways and i try to share with him as much as possible as well.

it completely depends on the individuals
 
Dealers have a job man. I mean i have friends who sell drugs and i dont expect them to give me friend prices for anything. How are they gonna make money? I mean put yourself in his place and do the math. Also if a dealer is giving price cuts to friends and word gets around it ruins their reputation and then everyone is gonna want in.

from 2009 to 2011 lots of opiates: hydromorphone, oxymorphone, oxycodone, and heroin mainly. weekly or twice monthly purchases (i've always "chipped"). his gf at the time got him into the game and i was a regular customer. he is still my main guy for everything to this day. he got clean at some point in 2011 and now we chip together and mainly just smoke mad weed, sometimes other stuff but not often. i buy all my stuff from him at cost. or at a small, maybe 5-10% markup. if you don't mind, that's about all the details i care to mention. if you want to talk about money spent it's in the thousands easily.
 
If you think that's bad, wait until he beats you. Which, from the sounds of it... seems like that may be coming along very shortly.
 
lol, if I think what's bad? i trust him as much as i trust anyone else in this bullshit world

how would he beat me? where did that even come from?

you guys took this ALL WRONG; I KNOW THE KID NEEDS TO MAKE MONEY! I just think its funny how drugs seperate relationships, whether it be friends or even girlfriends. DRUGS seperate people; drugs make people different, or at least they change how you view a certain person.

this kid we are talking about here prob sniff's 4+ grams a day; so w/o a doubt he needs the money. there is not much money being made here; all profit goes up his nose. he maybe have a few extra bucks to eat/small savings and whatnot but this is his fulltime job so I expect it to be that way.. but, at least do the job right and weigh the damn thing out if youre already going to beat me for the cash.

anyway, the kid helped when needed and spotted when I was down and out and would wait till Friday for payday.

he even does me the favor nowadays and DOESNT ANSWER when I call him because he knows I am clean and that going back his way will only put me back on the dope; which is a good FRIEND thing to do.. but at the same time, its weird to lose certain people in life just based on the drug.

anyone get what I am trying to say here?

DRUGS MAKE YOU LOSE FRIENDS/FAMILY/ANYBODY! and it's usually the HARD drugs that do this.

Over the last year alone I had 5 somewhat friends (people from highschool or from my city who I saw out casually and often) have OD'd. 2 girls who were 25 and I didnt even know they SHOT DOPE (or else I would have tried to smash them, that bad to say!?) and one other kid who has been clean for a while and was working in a rehab and whatnot and then BOOM.. DEAD! The other 2 were both junked out and died but didnt come as much as a surprise to the other 3.

crazy how the world works, man.
 
You friend isn't a dealer. He's just a addict supporting his habit.
 
I think this nearly every poster here has experienced something like this at some point. And a few of us have probably done it. It's the cost of doing business / maintaining relationships with people that are addicted to a substance worth countless dollars.
