Safely obtaining drugs in a dangerous area

Besides that^, heroin has a very distinct smell to it. I wish I would have thought to smell it while in my encounter yesterday.
 
well shit.. it's been a while since i've had to buy off the street (thankfully), but whenever i did, i wanted to get in and out as quick as possible before there was a chance of a narc or patrol car driving by. so personally, i'd just wait till i got home. sometimes you get burnt, sometimes you don't. but say you got some shit, took a taste, realized it was pretty weak shit, what are you gonna do? you can't expect to get your money back, they would laugh at you.

yes, you are thinking about it too much. buying heroin off the street is always risky business. i would never really get more than 2-4 at a time, until you were aware of the quality. if it's good, go back to that spot. if it sucks, try a couple blocks over. just be wary of when they try to say they only got dubs. its probably a lie, and they're trying to pass off a dime as a dub (especially if you're white and you look nervous/not confident). tell them the amount you want in dimes, and if they say they only got dubs, i would go somewhere else. they might stop you and change their mind once you start walking away.
 
I used to cold cop just drive up to the spot and cop. Then i got a few numbers and after a while the dope started getting slacker and poorer quality. So i went back to cold copping been doing it for a while now, tons of people at the spot know my name , my car, and have given me there phone number. But i like to sample around cause we dont have stamps down here. Anyways last night i drove to the spot without calling anyone and there was like literally 20 some people out in that bitch. They all ran to my car surrounded, started knocking on windowns, trying to rip the door open, yelling, screaming, just acting a fool. I was wigged the fuck out i immediatly recognize the guy at my left window that i copped off once cause no one else was there i thought he was gonna rob me but he actually got me straight. Then another dude whos practically ripping my car door off on the otherside, i know, who has flame shit and i always cop from when hes there. Anyways i roll down the window on my left side and all the while C and a bunch of other people are on my right "saying my name i know you man lemme get you straight yadda yadda". Well fucking D on the left crawls in my car through the window ands like "go dude go what you want get the fuck outta hear why aint you call me". And there are people like just holding on and pulling on my car everywhere i mean im surrounded by a bunch of crazy trap boys who are beating on my car" i put it in reverse look behind me to see anyone and D's like go! leans over whips the wheel and sticks his foot oB]n mine on the gas spins and rams the car around into another car thank god no one was behind me like i mean people. I guess he was trying to swing the people off the car or something i really dont know im in absolute shock now. C and a bunch of other people run over claiming i just hit their car ( like 6 people all own this same car ? K... (and i know C dont have a fucking car but hes all like "yeah man you gotta gimme some money for that". D is back on his side of the car now (thank you) and hes like dude just get the fuck outta here... So i roll the fuck out D hooks me up and apologizes for the car. i drop him off somewhere around the block and dipset. never ever going to that spot again that shit was so insane. there was no apparent damage to either car but still... I called D to get good again today and met somewhere else.

Is it better to take your car to the dope spots or take the bus/walk?

I hate to sound like a dick cause I know you are a nice guy from your TDS posts, but damn did you bother to read the original post or any of this thread? There is a ton of discussion about this exact topic.

But I'll answer anyway that there are pros and cons to taking a car. On one hand, its the fastest way in and out and you can get the fuck out of a hot situation easier if you ahve to. On the other hand, you could end up getting jacked for your car, but the main disadvantage to driving in in my opinion is that it gives the cops an easy reason to fuck with you. They could pull you over in a traffic stop for any reason.

If you do want to drive, park a few blocks away in a safe looking spot and walk in to buy your drugs.

Yeah I know there's been some talk about it, but I wanted to know some more opinions is all. I've pretty much only gone taking my car, but thinking about it recently I think there's more cons doing it with a car. For one, even if I did park it a couple blocks away there's still a risk of getting busted and having my car in a bad neighborhood running the possibility of having it getting stolen or broken into, etc. There's also the risk of getting pulled over after the buy in my car and there's really no way to escape then.

I think I'll just take the bus/train down as the El entrance is only a couple blocks away from the dope spots anyway. I'd like to hear more recent opinions/experiences from people on the subjct though.

I dont know what you look like physically, but the area around the L train is decently rough, I would suggest driving in to be on the safe side. im assuming you are talking philly, which is also where im at.

dude, that area is fucking money. I don't know where you're getting on the El at, and I won't post a specific location, but let's just say I get on at 30th and get off a couple stops after the number designated stops end.

I get on the el at frankford terminal. Get off at K and A and stroll to the spots. %)

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.

outstanding post
please STICKY this post
 
this aint directed at you yo, u seem to be a cool chick, but I am so sick of hearing "Oh i WOULD go cop in the hood but Im just a skinny white girl boo hoo" Guess wat bitches, Im a skinny white girl too and I been coppin in the hood since i was 16 and I made it to 22......i dont know wat the hell everybody is so damn worrried about.....You got only the cops to fear.

Part of me wants to type out some advice and shit and the other part wants to say that if you need to ask, and you see yourself that way, you aint never gonna be able to handle it. I aint scared when I go cop other than of the boys.(Not the corner boys the ones in blue.)

if you are scared of coppin on the block youre best off just to stay away becuz people can tell if you are scared and dont know wat youre doin. you go up in that bitch all shook and worried and they gonna eat you alive. maybe ill come back and psot again later
 
I've copped 3 times in my car since i wrote last time. I just act real cool and usually drive up the blocks I know a couple times until I either see someone I know or wait until someone whispers a bag name at my as I roll by the corner. It's really not as bad as I thought. I just copped today and he actually had a number I wrote it in my phone and I just checked and it didnt save. Pissed as shit.
 
I remember the days of copping in the hood.
I think it's subjective though, as to what area, the individuals mindset, etcetera.
