New coke dealer

[tay11]

I’m new so I’m not really sure how this works, but I recently found a dealer who sells coke( something I’ve always wanted to try) the problem is I don’t know if I can trust him. I had to go through the internet, I found him a website where you sell second hand things, it was a last resort. But the way he texted was weirding me out, then a few days later he asked me if I thought the coke was good and if he should save my number. Is that normal?? No other dealer has ever asked me if the drugs were good after I bought. I just want someone else’s opinion, is this normal and should I trust him ( I haven’t tried the coke yet bc I wanted to test it before make sure it wasn’t cut with like fent or anything)

Nobody here has any idea whether you can trust this random internet man

It's unusual, but not unheard of, for a dealer to ask the customer whether the product was good or not.

He's either:

A) Genuinely interested, he might just have gotten a new batch in and isn't sure of the quality yet

B) Just sold you a bag of shit and wants to know how gullible you are, if you replying saying it's great, he's found a mark

Yea, I agree with all of that.

There really is no way to answer these questions. This is why we have a blanket policy that forbids drug identification. This policy typically excludes pill identification. That being said, we would prefer pill identification to be done through a search engine. This is faster and less clumsy than doing so here on the forums. However, there has been an increasing amount of counterfeit pills out there on the streets; "Adde.rall/Xanax Bars/Perc 30's" and so on. Essentially, the more popular a pill is a recreational drug, the more likely it is to have a counterfeit market.

We aren't philosophically against drug identification. We just can't do it. It's not possible. The only way to know what your drugs are is to have them tested in a professional laboratory. There are basic tests available at Harm Reduction programs and online. These tests will only tell you whether a given drug is in your drugs, but will not tell youexactly what your substance consists of.

The drug business is still essentially one defined by old-school mercantilism/capitalism. In the age of Amazon, where customers have anything and everything shipped to their doorstep, reviews of said item to increase confidence and a myriad of ways to seek settlement if not happy with the merchandise, the drug business is stuck in the old days.

Sure, one junkie might rip you off. However, people like this in fact hurt the business of dealers attempting to sell quality product. These dealers have to sell quality product, as they are running a business based on return customers. In economic terms, this is why drug dealing will often be heaviest (and often of the best quality) in the hoods of urban areas. Here there is a market supported by the sales. Gangs operate and pay their members with the profits of their drug business. For that business to just end, they would all be out on the street without a crumb to eat.

Sure, you're college roommate might sell you some "Cocaine" that likely was sold to him by another white jackass. Jackass one received heavily cut Cocaine that he then used 90% of, the cuts the rest and sells this to you. You don't have experience with Cocaine. The remaining Cocaine in the bag causes some numbness and tingling, so you know that it's real Coke, right?

This kind of story is in fact, a trope that we all know very well. The progress of someone in this situation is that they either don't use Cocaine again or they go through a series of inreasingly more legit dealers until they eventually get the number of a cartel dealer.

If you want my opinion, you're green. You probably will get taken advantage of more than once. If you are able to network and develop contacts, it's not difficult to find a good connection.
