The One-Man Drug Company

[ToxicFerret]

#1 he doesn't even like what he is doing, he chose it for himself, yet he is too caught up in his own game to take charge of his life and change. That is not characteristic of a worthwhile person. Im not saying he is worthless, but he isn't exactly a baller.

The whole point is he can't affort to be a baller. That lifestyle got him robbed.

but the biggest issue is it sounds like he threw away a perfectly good life to make himself miserable and get people high.

Sounds more to me like he didn't really have a chance at a 'perfectly good life'. He was smoking pot and skipping classes and so forth too much to make it into any respectable college.

 

[E-llusion]

He sounds like the perfect coke dealer, but as far as a worthwhile human being, he seems towards the bottom of the list.

Oh give me a break, get off your moral high horse, if it wasn't for guys like this YOU would never be able to get anything.

How does that make him any lesser human being than people with "regular" jobs ?

Lawyers ? you think what they do is all moral ?

How about stock market players ? They ruin peoples lives for a mighty dollar. Don't even get me started because I could make you a whole list of EVIL "legal" jobs that actually create a lot of misery in the society.

1) working a real job, he would have a life and 25,000 in a safe would seem like chump change.

You are a fool. 25k in a safe is way more than anyone working a "real" job could put away in a year.

very interesting, cheers n4k33n.

Sounds exactly like my best friend, only he would never sell cocaine. Mushrooms for him. It's a lot easier to manage and you don't have coked out fiends calling you at all hours of the night trying to score another bag. No guns, no emotions, no problems.

He's already pays for his apartment, is in his 3rd year of med school and has a very nice BMW M3. Also he attracts absolutely no heat at all because he has an established network of associates and close friends so in the past 3 years of being in the game he has never so much as to talk to a cop. Well except for having a loud party one night and having to answer for a noise complaint.

Wow, I actually read that whole thing. Really good read; defeated my normally nonexistent attention span.

 

[narco anonomous]

Sounds like a moron to me. two cents.

Any street-level dealer trying to peddle 22% coke on the streets of NYC will not be in business for long. Grams here routinely test at 70% and sometimes 80% or more and go for about fifty bucks.

While such people exist, this story has a generic banality about it that makes it sound like the 4:00 AM frenetically-typed journalistic exploits of a media hack who also happens to be one of "Lenny's" customers.

Word up. I dont know no one who would tolerate some weak shit like that. The guy who wrote this article prolly also thinks that the bags of dope on the streets of jersey and NY are 30% pure or some shit like that.

What a fuckin retard ass article. bulshit story , this is the same as the shit that appears once a year in Maxim, rolling stone, spin, etc. Aint nothing new, cool, special, intriguing, exciting, or exclusive in this article. this is just the story of some brain dead muh fucka who is so god damn stupid that he would tell all his bizness to a fuckin JOURNALIST. how fuckin stupid you gonna be? This nigga full of shit cuz nobody runnin good bizness talks like that, there is a word for that, its narc....I dont care if you aint talkin to the police, i dont give a shit if you tellin some gay ass magazine, you are tellin OUTSIDERS information that they dont need to know. whats the point of this article? To shock people? to make them go "oooooh how exciting?" Whats his purpose to tell all his bizness to someone who aint involved, does he WANT to get caught? Why you think people get mad when rappers drop albums tryna sound cool sayin the names of all the niggaz they dealt with. Cuz that shit is INFORMATION. you think cops dont read that shit? you think they aint got they eyes and ears out everywhere listenin like they your friends? You think that from that description, that his homies and associates aint gonna recognize him right away?

Anyone could write this dogshit article in 1 or 2 hours and ive seen shit thats almost EXACTLY the same shit in a bunch of other magazines, just different drug, different city. i swear that the same person must write all these lame ass stories, cuz they all sound just the same right down to the fake suspenseful tone that they write in, tryin so hard to sound cool and down.

"Mr Z runs a successfull auto body shop in east hartford. On the surface he leads a down to earth, quiet existence. but he has a secret, too. Hes also the ecstasy dealer who supplies his goods to about 50% of the lower level dealers in the entire city."

"I see a tall, striking blonde walk in the door, and I know her without knowing her immediately."Jamie" as well call her here, is meeting with me at a downtown bar, one of the many safe spots that she uses to meet clients under the disguise of just catching up over drinks."

This dude in the story sounds pretty fuckin wack. Shit like this is made for people who dont actually know about the bizness and want a "sneak peek" into the crazy cool exciting lives of dealers, and get off on it, its like porn to them cuz they dont know the real.

That was a very interesting and cool read. Thanks!

Although I agree with you that no active dealer should be talking to the press, I don't see the big deal in publishing anything about the drug scene. I'm not just saying that because I enjoy reading "drug porn", especially user blogs and articles/books about drug history. Shit, that's how we learn.

LE certainly knows everything that this article mentions. He's not publishing anything ground breaking. With that being said, the reason I don't think active dealers should be talking to the press is due to the risk involved. He's not only putting himself at risk, but since he's keeping accurate transaction records, he's putting his patrons at unnecessary risk as well.

da fuck you mean its how we learn? Iunno how you learned, but i learned by doin drugs. aint need no bullshit ass article to replace real life schoolin.

Or if you want it to be more funny

I learned it from the streets yo!

 

[fatallyflawed]

There are two things this guy doesn't quite understand-


1) working a real job, he would have a life and 25,000 in a safe would seem like chump change.

2) The "addicts" he looks down on only use coke to have fun. At the very worst they need it to have fun. He relies on it to provide every aspect of his life. And he has no fun.


He sounds like the perfect coke dealer, but as far as a worthwhile human being, he seems towards the bottom of the list.

Wow, i wouldnt bash my dealer........how else do u get your drugs!
If hes a terrible human for selling it then what kinda guy r u for givin him a reason to sell!!

 

[rm-rf]

nice, 800 for a zip. pretty decent hookup!

You learned about drug history, how they're manufactured, and where they come from by using drugs?

YO my hood has better coke than your hood, here you can only get 90% yo.

I call BS on the whole 72-80% pure for 50 bucks, BS BS BS!
Sure you could probably get that pure if you good connects but someone selling for 50 bucks is not gonna make much money.

I also think that the avg. % of the cocaine sold at gram levels in NY is WAY lower than 72%.

 

[krazycrow]

Good story. With 200 customers I think the odds are against him. He should invest in a off shore bank account fill it as full as he can until he gets busted do a few years and get out and retire on a beach somewhere. I don’t do coke but if someone sold me a chemical that was 80% cut I would be fucking mad. Pretty mellow story, dealing with 200 coke heads you think he would be kicking in doors and beating people up every other day, he must have the game figured out better then that.

The what?

I said dope dude. heron. Not coke. I was makin a comparison. Saying that someone who believes buyers would tolerate shit at that low of purity is most likely someone who aint familiar with it, cuz no one who is would say somethin like that. So, someone who aint nevefr done some of the heroin in this area, might doubt how good it could be, and say "No way man, it gets cut up so much that Heroin in new jersey is prolly on average like 30% pure" not knowing that it is actually alot higher than that.

how do you have any way of knowin what the product is like in one area if you dont live there. That is like me sayin "No way! the weed in cali aint that good!" i aint never been to cali there fore i dont know, so i dont talk about it.

Anyways just try and roll up to a corner where you dont know nowone and ask for coke, you will get crack. so its pointless to talk about it anyways since its alot easier to get good crack than good coke, on a low street corner level. if you wanna talk about purity and good product then you are dealin with a person you know and work with on the regular and its all abut who you know.

Socialite models dont pack gats yo. homie is dealin with upper class people here not slangin to 12 year old baby G's and shit.m From how it sounds at least that is his clientele. that area of NY aint no poor mans land. He aint dealin wit the people that bust down doors and gun butt niggaz when hes sellin (From what i can tell from the article.) who he gets from is another story but the point is when you sell over price grams to models and businessmen it aint as shady as when you deal with shystie mutha fuckas. Then again coke can make anyone shystie.

JESUS MAN. that had me captivated. i can really relate to the beginning... about how it came to be that lenny chose the 'dealer' path...

Dealing has always appealed to Lenny’s two most dominant personality traits: an obsession with money and chronic impatience, characteristics that don’t exactly set him apart from his peers, kids who came of age during the hip-hop and Internet booms, two movements united by the philosophy that money is something to be made quickly, dubiously, and only in large amounts.

Freshman year, he was a skinny kid, decent at sports, interested in student government. But by the time he was 15, Lenny had joined the ranks of privileged children who, searching for appealing avenues of rebellion, choose to emulate the lower classes with a cartoonish take on black culture. “Basically,” he says, “I started running around acting like a fake thug,” a pastime that revolved around “local street-dogging-type things,” like stealing North Face jackets off the backs of younger kids and skipping class to smoke blunts in back alleys. Lenny loved pot, but he also saw it as a business opportunity, partly because selling would mean free product for himself. Like his favorite rapper, Tupac Shakur, put it: I smoke blunts on a regular, fuck when it counts / I’m tryin’ to make a million dollars outta quarter ounce.

He ended up at a college never once mentioned by his school’s guidance counselor, which only reinforced the notion that his talents lay elsewhere. So he expanded his services to include Ecstasy, LSD, mushrooms, Special K. In a shift so subtle he didn’t even notice it at the time, Lenny went from being a fake thug to a kid who resembled the real thing.

Genius.
