I'll bet that statement felt pretty empowering for you. Enjoy it, however, do realize that you've no idea who your speaking to. My eyes are wide open, my friend. And in all my years in the realm of drugs and their users, I have yet to meet someone who overcharges other users in order to support themselves who possesses a sufficient level of integrity for me to be near.

Enjoy your empowerment, though, bud. Power feels nice, though fleeting.

Vaya....you must never purchase goods in a free market economy then and/or

never really venture into public much and/or traveled before. Have you ever

eaten McDonald's? I'm sure you have if not at least you've eaten out before.

I'm also going to say when you did eat out you had something to drink

...Well that drink is usually OVERCHARGED to you by about 1000% . The

same goes for the food but isn't usually as much as 1000% but still as high as

500% So do you not put yourself "near" places that sell food? Do you grow

your own vegetable garden then and purchase your own animals? If you do

just so you know your still be highly overcharged for the things you would buy

to sustain your garden/animals.:p
 
I hardly think comparing McDonalds and Capitalism to the underground world of illicit diamorphine is fair - and I generally avoid eating fast food because, as with street dope, you never quite know what's in that shit ;) I can't claim to avoid heroin as avidly, though. But as for your, er, argument, like Burger King - have it your way. To the both of you.

I get money by working legally (no hustling)

It will not hold up in the long run. As my addiction is growing its getting harder and harder to not only go to work( going through wd's a lot) as well as I use more than I make I can't even pay my bills on time anymore. I am trying to quit again. I'm hoping tomorrow is my last day of using so I can time this so I'm not wd'ing at work... I get 4 days off in a row

Good luck to you. During the height of my addiction i would have no more than 3-5 dollars "spending money" per week working 60 hours per week (thank god i lived in an apartment at the time where the utilities and internet were all included in the rent. My extra cash after copping was usually just enough to buy two cartons of eggs to hard-boil over the week to keep from dying pretty much. I will never have full control over my urges for opiates for the rest of my life. One would think that alone would be sufficient drive to quit for good, but it will never be that easy. Make the most of your time off man. wd'ing at work makes staying sober that much harder IME....

I can't for the life of me, see why your busting his balls. I mean, he has just inserted himself in the equation as a dealer. He marks the product up and then passes it on to a "consumer."

The "overcharge" is just his profit. I mean, it's like any other business. If the product passes through your hands, then another level of costs would normally be involved.

Now, I have NEVER supplied pills for any money. But I have paid some stiff prices, at times. And I expected it. I knew I was being overcharged and I'll bet his "customers" do also. I guess it's the American way.

Best
 
It's not the American way, it's the normal capitalist way. i see no problem with that, that makes sense, it's logic, whatever else.
 
I had a good amount of money in my savings from before I did drugs. Now, it's almost all gone :\

Don't know how I'm going to get more money; I might have to get a job. Right now I'm living off disability but it's only enough to cover bills and gas for car and food.
 
hustling people (overpricing, say ex: your friend is selling pot for 25 an eighth, and someone just asked you for an eigth, and you say its 35, you get 10$ + whatever your friend gives you for selling for them.

used to be real big into carshopping/stealing whatever i could, but thats probably the worst way possible so i think ima stop on that

whenever theres an opportunity for cheap drugs, i'll buy them, at least make all my money back and then the rest are for me.

I got free health insurance because I have Leukemia. so I get my morphine (90# 30mg CR Morphine, and 120# 30mg IR Morphine), 60# 2mg Diazepams (with 3 refills, so 4 bottles total), and 60# 5mg Marinol all for free.

and when I run out of my pain meds, if I'm in bad withdrawals, I know people that can help me out. I'm not really comfortorable saying how I know them, or how they help me out though.

Really sorry to hear that you have Leukemia ;(


I usually punch someones head, and they give the money :P jk
 
lol

Not flaming or trolling, just thought this was funny...

So this VAYA was kind of talking shit to me because I charge a tax when I go pick up pills for people....

I just noticed this and find it really funny. ANyone else see the humor in this?

Damn Vaya, no wonder you starve yourself when you are hooked on dope! You don't know a thing about the game fool!

Also, if people who 'overcharge' don't "possesses a sufficient level of integrity" for you to be near, who were you buying from?? (mods I'm not actually asking for a source) Are there any dope dealers who sell their product at the exact same price that they get it for, making ZERO profit? I assume you had to "be near" a dope dealer to buy your dope man...

So if Vaya would like to answer my questions, that would be nice, because I feel a little insulted by them.
 
In the Uk we have the NHS and a rerasonable benfits system.
This could all change thisafternoon cos the Government are about 2 do big spending cuts and i'm sure this will effct most drug users directly or indirectly regarding money.
