I'm on a point here wondering what other people do. There's no need to be ashamed here, if there's a group of people who understands what it's like to hustle for dope, it's us at Bluelight. I'm not making a suggestion about anyone in particular, but I bet 50/50 you've had to hustle for dope at least one time - reader.
I busk at the liquor store. Meaning I play guitar for people to throw change at me. This is actually a decent income stream if I play long enough. It's better than minimum wage. I made $200 in a few hours one day in 2015. There are only a few points in my life where I've done this. I should do this more often regardless of any dope. Even on a good year, the extra cash feels impeccably good to kale.
I've pawned off music equipment and guitars before. Sometimes I've got them back. Sometimes not.
Payday loans. Back in 2017 and 2018, I was pretty reliant on payday loans to make the world go round. If si wasn't using so much, I definitely would not have gotten stuck in this trap. I eventually did when I paid off the last loan and didn't take another,
I've asked family and friends for cash. This is hit-and-miss. The ones who are dead against my substance abuse aren't as into it. Sometimes people have been happy to help. I try not to do this too often. It's a sad feeling knowing someone who loves me is giving me money for drugs. Sometimes I've lied about where it's going.
When I was much younger. I stole money from my dad he had stashed away, a couple of hundred dollars. I stole cigarettes flat out from a friend's apartment once that belonged to his dad. Thankfully I did not keep this pattern up. This was almost 20 years ago.
About 11 years ago, I shoplifted the liquor store twice, I was caught the second time. I stopped after that.
Blank cheque deposit. This has been done at two different points. Once last year or January. This fucked my bank account twice as well.
Sold dope. I've traded illicit substances for cash for a few brief spats in my life.
