Hi all, long time lurker of BL here. If you could help me figure out this situation I'd be grateful...
Firstly, I'm not a dealer. I do spend a fair amount of money on drugs a couple times a month. I use middle men as a way to keep me from being directly associated with larger dealers, and to keep myself from accessing dealers too directly/easily (I spiral out of control quickly with unfettered access to cheap drugs). It's kind of a built in checks and balances system for my drug lifestyle.
A couple weeks ago I met my middleman at his college to buy 30's. I agreed to give my mid-man a certain amount of $ for his trouble (happened to be just enough to get him a couple 30s; note that I did not promise him drugs, just cash.) I make a point of trying to avoid anything that could be construed as distributing. I arrived at his place and was informed the "guy" would be stopping by in 15min. A short time later I'm informed I will be driving him to his on-campus apartment. We meet someone outside of my Mid man's apartment and pile in my car; I'm assuming this guy is the dealer. My middle man guides me through town/campus and we pull up to student housing. I'm assuming the deal has been done and we're dropping the dealer off at his place; Instead MM hops out and leaves me with the dude. I now realize this guy isn't a dealer and is buying drugs too (via my car 8)).
Middle man returns and we drive back to his place. Once we arrive at MM's pad he distributes the pills to me and the other buyer. Buyer leaves and thanks both of us. I count and notice extra pills and realize it's MM's pills that he bought with the money I gave him. I return his stuff.
To me this bait'n'switch seems extra fishy. I'm concerned because I (unknowingly) drove a random dude to buy shit for no reason, he could've chilled at MM's place, AND because MM arranged it so I had to give him the stuff back rather than keeping it a straight cash affair.
Part of the reason I was so clueless during all of this is because I do not make small talk during transactions. I try to keep it as straight forward as possible. It is another way to insulate myself from it...the less people know about me, the better.
Can and do informants set people up like this? Is it legal to do while they are committing a felony drug sale? Should I retain a lawyer?
The above is fiction, of course
