What are your policies/ground rules on "fronts" & "fronting" in general?


I'm curious to hear from people on both side of the fence. I'm simply a frequent meth abuser, a semi-frequent opiate abuser and an occasional benzo user. I used to completely deny offers that would allow me to receive drugs on "front", or the practice of using drugs before I am able to pay for them.

I never wanted to get to the point that I needed drugs so much that I would ask for them on front before I had the money to purchase said drugs. I always thought it was bad for ethics all around and nowadays I will accept a front offer or straight up ask for a front. I do abide by some personal guidelines though, which go as followed:

1. I only ask for a front or accept an offer for a front (i.e. "dude it's cool if you ain't got the money right now, just hmu when you get the money), first and foremost depending on how long I've known my connection(s). To ask for a front when I just met a new connect is kinda rude..in my opinion. I try to establish a rapport first.

2. I only ask for a front or accept an offer for one, ONLY if the substance in question is NOT a hard drug. My logic, the harder the drug = harder the compulsions and cravings for it.. which ultimately leads to rash decisions and bad judgment.

3. Only ask for a front or accept a front for a drug if I am getting paid within the next (1-3) days or sooner. The longer the waiting period for payment after drugs have been consumed, the less it will be fresh in your mind that you just purchased x quantity of _________ a week ago and you need to do your part and pay for what got you high. Ties into ethics.

4. I only ask for a front or accept an offer for one only if the person on the other side of the fence isn't a known violent person. (I.E. no prison time, no mental illness history that I know of, no gang affiliations)

5. If I ever start feeling comfortable with a hook-up and I decide to ask for a front, and they say "NO", for any reason, WHATEVER reason.. I leave it at that and never ask for a front ever again. I also never ask them why the answer is no. They obviously have their reasons and it's probably not my business.

I find that, as a drug user, following these ground rules I set for myself is only a WIN-WIN for both parties ultimately and it keeps the shady ass bullshit that could pop up, to a bare minimum.

What are your fronting policies that you set for yourself and others? If you have any that is.
 
I don't ask for fronts. I've fronted people in the past and it has always come back to bite me in the ass. Now, I don't front what I can't afford to lose, but it's still frustrating. I gotta work on that.
 
i gotta know the person is trust worthy, and know them for years, otherwise no front in any direction.

i only deal with fronts with two people - both are almost 60 years old and don't wanna deal with bullshit, and neither do i, so it works good. we say 10mins it is 10mins, no dealer time, no loan sharking, all good. they know i will pay em back and i know they're good when they need something also.

everyone else is way to much of a pain in the ass to deal with. if i meet a junkie and a week later they are asking for a bag, half a sub, diapers, milk, soap, "i'll get you back in 3 days when i get paid" etc... i cut em off. i don't got the time or money for games.
 
I dont sell drugs but i buy in bulk and hold them for the 2 or 3 people I actually am friends with. Generally its easier to give them whatever i might have that they want up front and i dont charge a fee they get it for the cost that, other then molly because that is harder for me to get then anything and without incentive id just keep it for me. I just went through a period where i had a lot of free money and maintain stock now for all of us.

One is my younger brother the other is my ex and the third is my long time friend now roommate all of us have jobs and former addictions to heroin. The only other person i would ever trust like that is the dude i get my shit from because he doesnt need my scraps but then again i got nothing for him either lol

I've always been fairly giving with my shit anyway so its nice helping my friends and maintaining a supply so i dont run out ever. A drastic change of pace from my past :)
 
I will not be involved with fronts on either side. I also don't use credit cards.

Debt is slavery. I don't get involved in people owing me anything either because quite frankly you need to enforce that shit violently to get paid and I'm trying to chill.
 
Hehe. I only ask for fronts from good friends, or from dudes I been goin to for a while, that KNOW they can trust me. I had a dope dealer that would cuff me a bag EVERY. DAY. Whenever I asked, he'd hook it up. I also gave him rides wherever he needed, even to not drug related things. He'd throw me bags for the rides too. It was a GREAT situation I had worked out He'd even buy me dinner, invite me to cookouts etc. He was cuffing me steady for like 3 years, NEVER LATE ONCE. That's how you do it. Never ask for a cuff if I wasn't SURe I had money coming. H'es locked up now though, been bout a year now.

BUT, the guy I go to now? Just recently befriended him, I now give HIM rides sometimes too, hooks it up, takes money off the price, and now I've unlocked fronts from him too! Lol. And the stuff is bommbbbb, some of the best shit around here imo. The only down side is, half of my pay check is gone before I even get it.
 
Not to people who aren't family or literally, best friends. I get fronts from my dealers intermittently when I'm really hard up, but I'm also not in a line of work in which effectively dispensing credit can be a potential windfall.
 
Lol, I spoke too soon. Asked dude today if he could do a 40 for 20 until tomorrow. And he texts me back an hour later "You can't keep asking for cuffs"..... BUT THEN, an hour later, after I spent some of the cash already he texts me "Come down"..... I was like dude... "Oh fuck, I thought that was a no? I only have 6 bucks now, I'll see you tomorrow."... was expecting him to flip out on me, but just said "It's ok"
 
No fronts. Either I trade for something someone wants or my friends and I go in for a party or someone brings the drug and we take hits or bumps. I don't play, I aint getting caught up in the wrong people, and it keeps use down.
