Ripped off by a friend - need advice

Hi guys, this is my first time starting a new thread and I’m not really sure where it belongs. So please move it as you see fit.

I really need some advice. Here’s the story:

I have this friend who I’ve known for about 10 years. We have always been pretty close; not best friends, but we could rely on each other for pretty much anything. Well, this past year, I’ve been dabbling a little in cocaine, though a steady source has been really hard to find (probably a good thing, given that I absolutely LOVE the stuff). Anyway, I asked him to ask his people and hook me up – he lives in a city about 40min away, and the dealers always make deliveries to the house.

So, he scored for me a few times. I should mention that the first time I asked, he said he couldn’t get me any. I found out months later that he did, in fact, get some but ended up snorting all of it that same night. Whatever, though, I didn’t make a big deal out of that.

Two times since, the stuff has been good, no problems. This last time, though, one of the bags was cut with something really sweet. Like, disgusting. My bf and I railed a couple of decent lines and immediately noticed the buzz was different. Like, speedy, but no euphoria. Of course, right away we were suspicious, and after trying to figure out what the shit was, I called my friend to tell him his dealers had ripped him/us off.

He confessed that he had dipped into one of the bags and when he was high, replaced what he stole with stevia (an artificial sweetener). I didn’t know what to say. Ended the phone conversation, and we both started to notice mad burning pain and serious congestion in our sinuses. Way worse than after a night of doing lines. Our eyes teared up and we couldn’t breath – so much pain, it was un-fucking-believable.

I dropped about a line’s worth into some water, and 80% of the powder didn’t even dissolve. So, we figure he had cut the shit with some low grade amphetamine – ephedrine? - and stevia, since we’ve been blowing binders and fillers out of our noses since (it’s been 4 days).

Now my question is, what should I do? This person is a friend, not a dealer. It seems more complicated than just not hooking up through him again – he really hurt us (physically). Also, we were financially ripped off. Not too much cash, but the principle is at issue. Why didn’t he just give us the bags he didn’t tamper with? That would’ve been fine. Instead, he caused us potentially permanent nasal damage. It’s unfair for him to just get away with it. What would you guys do?

By the way, I should mention that this friend is not a cokehead to my knowledge. He’s only done it a handful of times (or so he says).

Any thoughts/advice would be really appreciated!
 
Cut all ties with him.. He's going to say he's sorry but the asshole has a problem.. To do that to friends is horrible.. Absolutly HORRIBLE!.. I would say kick his ass but that's not going to accomplish anything.

If i were you i would tell him how you feel, And let him know that it was wrong (which im sure he knows already). Now its up to you not to go through him anymore. Try and find a diff connect. Going back to him is only going to tell him that its okay to fuck you over.
 
He has proven himself to be an unreliable source. Personally, after the first incident I wouldn't have used him as a middleman.

I would approach him about it and say "Hey, I'm not looking for money or anything, but I think it would be fair if you introduced me to your dealer." Call the introduction restitution if you want...

If he flat out refuses, I'd seriously consider ending the friendship. I'd let him know about that as well.

Good luck.

*Having a good friend be your dealer isn't recommended. It can, and often does, lead to problems; especially if you're talking about addictive drugs.
 
people that cut drugs suck
stupid addicts that cut drugs are a health risk and security liability.

The fact that he confessed means he knows he did wrong. I would ask him to make it up in cash. If he can't/won't, then I think phrozen's suggestion of the introduction would be reasonable, but I don't know how valuable it would be since you live so far away. Certainly couldn't hurt.

If the guy does pay you back and you decide you can stand him, just be there for any future deliveries made on your behalf. Break him off a line or whatever, say thanks and leave.

And if he won't do anything, then you're fucked. If you really feel that the physical damage was that serious I recommend your boyfriend kick his ass. But would it be worth driving nearly an hour-and-a-half to punch a silly coke head?
 
Thats wack! Sounds like just another shady coke head! He may say he isn't but his actions show he is. Drop him like a bad habit. He could have maybe taxed a little line and given you a light bag but he went all out. Thats messed up!
 
My advice would be to call him up, or go see him and calmly explain to him your point of view. Do not get mad/angry at him, simply tell him what you went through, what happened when you took it.

Tell him you back a long way and this is why you're calmly asking for the money back, and that you appreciated his honesty for telling you he cut your shit (he could have been a complete cunt and denied everything).

If he denies your request, or starts to get pissed off at you, then obviously leveling with him is your only choice. Arguing with him then might get you something, sometimes people need to be shaken, but keep your arguments clever and to the point (such as, 'I considered you a friend - how could you do this to us?).

But hope that that does not happen, otherwise your hookup and friend is probably over - rightly so if it gets to that stage.
 
Its not acceptable for him to cut drugs f he's getting them for you... if he wants to ip into the bag, like a line as a finders fee I might allow that but cutting it with sweetener... FUCK THAT, in the days where I was heavy into coke I would have tromped over to his place and layed him out whilest demanding my money back...

If hes your mate though what can you do? Right?
 
i don't care what it stems from...friends who fuck you over are not your friends. i am pretty much a hardass in this arena, i don't waste my time with people who would abuse me in any way. i don't care how long and close the relationship was.

i would say fuck off and never talk to them again. i wouldn't waste my time trying to get my money back in any way.
 
H/O now if he wasnt getting anything out of being the middle man then I think it was perfectly acceptable for him to do some or cut it friends or not its a pain in the ass to be a middleman especially something as dangerous as coke. I would ask for the connection if he doesnt give it to you that may not be his fault either. Some people dont like meeting new customers like that.

EXACTLY!


i cant beleive he said that.."ohh no, im the middle man" "its okay for me to rip somone off and then cutt their shit"

::jerking motion::

AKA

quitcherbitchen, don't be the middle man.
 
Try to get your money back and cut ties. As bad as you want to hurt him, it is just not worth it, believe me. You end up severing ties with every connection he knows if you do that, since people who had their ass beat tend to tell pathetic stories that make you look like a complete dick ("He beat me up and I didn't want to fight him *cry*). Tell him he's an asshole, let him know you are no longer friends and move on. You will find your own, probably better connects one day.
 
Don't do anything physical as that could send you or your bf to jail real easily, plus it's just kind of lame/greasy. You said it wasn't much yey, cut your losses and explain to your buddy that you realize he was probably all coked out and didn't have the cash to pay you at the time or something so if he pays you back in full what you are owed then you will forget about it. Drugs do change people, often times for the worse with an addictive drug like cocaine - they do stupid stuff. If he is genuinely sorry and pays you back then i'd just chalk it up to the cocaine experience. Learn from it. If you ever have him hook up for you again be sure to BE PRESENT at the time of the transaction (even if in the other room or something) because he obviously has a problem with abstaining from use when it is around. I'v been in a somewhat similar where I used some stuff that was meant for another person, I just straight up told them I use it - that I was sorry and that i'd pay them back for being such a fool. (which I did) I guess thats not really the same as I was honest about the whole situation and payed em back, but you get the idea. Things get outta hand when you use hard drugs.
