I discussed this with swifty and removed a few things and I think that if I had, had this information going out to cop I would have avoided a few things...
I feel that in the spirit of harm reduction this should be posted. If my companion mods think it is an innapropriate thread then of course I will close it. However I realize that many people g oto dangerous neighborhoods attempting to buy drugs and often times will get ripped off and sometimes mugged or beaten up. You must realize that copping on the streets is a DANGEROUS affair and some helpful pointers on how to assess the situation to which you are putting yourself into could drastically reduce your chances of getting hurt or killed.
Until very recently I avoided copping my H on the street for fear of getting jacked and the police. After a few moments of copping down by the local needle exchange I have learned a few things that I feel I should share with you because they could very well apply to how you might have to cop your shit in the future.
First things first lets talk how you are getting to the spot and how you plan to get out if something goes sour. I make sure to drive the area once to scope and see whats what on the street. things to look for:
-groups of people who aren't socializing and aren't high as fuck these will be the people you most certainly can approach.
-the fastest way by foot out of a situation from any of the areas.
-look for enclosed spaces to do business in that way if the cops roll on you, you can just as easily swallow your shit.
If the cops roll on you and you have the chance swallow your shit if it is wrapped well enough. Do not drop it, that doesn't work.
With police officers the best way to stay out of trouble i to be invisible to them or to look like you aren't causing trouble. They really don't want to ruin your life with a drug charge unless they're assholes. Assholes exsist, but they aren't nearly as common as you migh think. If you do encouter the police remember to be polite and if you're holding don't consent to search. You have civil rights.
Once the area is driven and I feel that I have gotten the best idea of whats what in the area I decide how i am going to get onto the block. You can go one of three ways:
-By foot: going by foot is, in my opinion the best way to do this make sue you have your ID with you and also make sure that all of your belongings are taken off... rings, watches, etc. I keep my cell phone on me for one reason. It is always good to have someone waiting in a car a short distance away where you can just hop in the vehicle and get to gettin.
-On a Bike: Riding a bike in says a few things, "hey look at me I have nice bike that can be stolen." and "hey look at me I want to get the fuck out of here as fast as possible." make sure that if you ride your bike in you are carrying ID and you know EXACTLY who to go to, staying to long on your bike in a shitty area will ensure that you get topped and beaten up for you bike and the contents of you wallet
-In a car- If yu do this make sure that there is no paraphenalia of any kind in your vehicle and that the doors and windows are locked, again make sure you know who to go to, if you don't then you can find yourself carless in the ghetto with lightning speed.
I have said to make sure you have your ID with you in all circumstances you may ask why? This is because if you get stopped by the police and you can provide ID and you dont have any shit on you, they will most likely run you through a battery of questions and then let you off the hook. Without ID they will take you in and process you. This means no less than 12 hours in police custody, it sucks and it can happen lets not kid yourself about the police and their ability to be assholes extrodinaire if they think you're out to score some drugs.
Once you get to the block and you feel you have successfully scoped it out now is the time to do what you came here to do and get your shit. I must express that this should be done as fast as possible. If you look the part people will start walking up to you and asking what you want. People will try to take advantage of you. If anything feels wrong it problably is and you should find a way out fast. Some things to watch for...
-If anyone tells you to give them money and they'll be right back, they won't. giving money to someone like that is like tossing money into a fire barrel. You'll get ripped off if you do this. If someone says to you, "Hey I just gotta run around the corner or down the street." Tell them, "ok go do that you can point me out to the guy and once i have the shit I'll give you the paper." Many people are receptive to this and will do exactly that once they realize that you aren't a sucker.
-If a group of people calls you over to a REALLY secluded area and tells you to relax... they're prolly gonna try and jump you. Just ignore them. If they hassle you... LEAVE for a minute go a block over and try the people over there.
-The guy who says "I'll help you but you gotta give me a taste." If this is your first time well then you gotta do that prolly but listen to me when I say that a taste is not half a bag... IT IS WHAT you decide to give them and no more. Hey if they hooked you up fat then return the favor, it never hurts to get people to like you in these areas. They watch out for you if they know that every once and a while you'll throw a bit their way. In my opinion this is the best way to avoid getting mugged/stabbed/or shot.
-Avoid the people who are acting crazy, they most likely are... think about it... roll it around in your head a bit they could be totally batshit...
Look for the people who seem to just be sitting there or the people who are hidden just enough so that when cars roll by they can hide their shit up. This is where you will find the people you are looking for. Please don't go down any alleyways looking for someone, you will get mugged...
Once you've gotten your junk the next and final step is to get out of the area to a safe place where you can use. Please don't use near the area you copped you could draw unwanted attention and get arrested... these things have happened. Not to me but to people I know. Get out of the area go home and use. That is the safest bet. However if you do choose to use close to where you got your shit go some place that once you've started to get high you won't be harassed by people who want a little bit...
Thats my recommendations on how to get your drugs from a dangerous area as safely and quickly as possible. Remember keep an eye out, no one will look out for you but you. If you can't stand up for yourself perhaps you shouldn't be copping on the street.
