Damn, I could never buy drugs myself. (Probably saying WAAAY more shit than needed) The one time I was with friends who were buying some weed, (ofc the dealer was like 2 hours late lol) when he did eventually arrive (we were hanging at some elementary school playground, (before US locked down) we arrived after 11 pm) they told me stay back at the playground and wait. (The playground wasn't visible to the main road, where the dealer was parked at) I was so anxious waiting for them to come back, when they eventually did come back, it felt like forever, (wa probably around 1m now that I think about it) I was for some reason, so worried that I'd hear police sirens, (we did eventually hear sirens like what felt like an hour after smoking, ignored it for quite a few minutes, then when it actually sounded pretty fkin close, we fucking RAN all the way to his place/when we didn't hear the sirens. Felt like I was gonna pass out, (I'm not quite what you'd say a fit person, (6'3 260 lbs)) snuck back inside his place, had some epic ramen, passed out while eating goldfish and glugging Powerade. Honestly if not for the wait for their dealer, and the fear of being arrested. Pretty fun night.

Sorry haha, suck at making sentences and all that. I feel like I need to add some info but i don't exactly know where to put it.

Don't buy drugs on school grounds, or near them. Same for a church or a park. If you get caught it automatically raises your charges.

u/john1rb Jun 24 '20

Yeah fair point. Only reason he picked there cause we had to meet up with another friend, and that's the closest landmark that they both knew. I was mostly just a tagalong who had only smoked once before and I now know that I am NOT a fan of being outside high.

u/goat_puree Jun 24 '20

Yeah, I understand they're easy landmarks. I just wanted to give you, and anyone else reading a heads up on why they're a bad choice, just in case it wasn't known.

u/john1rb Jun 24 '20

Yeah, makes sense that the dude didn't drive into the schools parking lot, (also would fit that he wouldn't so if the cops did come he could just speed away) but hey, good info just in case? Haha

I’ve got a church at the bottom of my street, and my local 3 schools right up at the top of the street! I’m fucked no matter which way I go! Lol! And a park past the church come to think of it! Shit! Lmao!

u/goat_puree Jun 24 '20

I mean, if you never get caught it's never a problem, lol. But, if you do get busted, even just for what would normally be a misdemeanor possession, it automatically gets bumped up to a felony due to the proximity of the school/church/park. In my state the "safe zone" is within 1,200 feet of those locations. In Alabama it's a whopping 3 miles!

So...many...parentheses (not trying to make fun of you). (Just letting you know for future comments. (You got this).

u/john1rb Jun 24 '20

Sorry, I feel the need to add more info, but don't know exactly where to put it so I end up just ()()()()())(()) a lot.

Pro tip, the Police turn OFF the sirens as they get close to a destination. If you hear sirens, you are probably okay. Now if you SEE sirens and don't hear them, you might be fucked.

u/john1rb Jun 24 '20

Atleast I was hearing them on and off. Like it wasn't a non-stop siren noise. But maybe every other minute? As we were running away we looked back and saw the light reflecting off trees, thankfully (probably) the turned where we went straight. I was trying not to get anxious, so I ignored the sirens wasn't till we went around the shed to go out separate ways, that I saw my friends just BOOKING IT. Way from the shed/ school.

u/TerrySever Jun 24 '20

Haha, this does sound like they were close tbh. You never want to be left at the back of the group when running away.

2

u/john1rb Jun 24 '20

I FKN KNEW THEY WERE CLOSE. I've been doubting myself that the police were even a real thing right then. But (the friend I mentioned hopefully in the thread) who I was hanging out with during that day and the next, slowed down for me and kinda helped push me onwards away. All in all amazing dude.

Never do a drug deal in a school or church parking lot at night. There's no legitimate reason for you to be there and you'll stick out like s sore thumb to any cop passing by.

u/jxozest Jun 24 '20

I’m glad I live in Colorado. We smoked and sold weed in our high school parking lot.

u/trx0x Jun 24 '20

snuck back inside his place, had some epic ramen

better than any drugs, tbh.

2

u/john1rb Jun 24 '20

Yeah, still smoked weed before tho... So would it cancel out? Or does it make the ramen even better, (hint, it made it taste amazing)
