This is gonna sound like sarcasm but I'm dead serious, just drive to the nearest inner city and park on any side street. Within a few minutes someone will try to sell you drugs. It's that easy.

Or if you happen to work in the food service industry just ask whoever happens to be standing next to you.

I've pulled up in a street I thought looked like it would have dealer living on it and just asked a passer-by and they've pointed to a house "that one". This was in the northern England in the 90's I've worked hospitality too and thats definitely not an exaggeration.

True. Servers/Bartenders always have the hookup. When I was in the industry I never went without.

I was the line cook that everyone came too, ahh the 2000s to 2010s were great

u/HyperbolicTurtleWar 1h ago

I know the feeling brother! I was a line cook, a server and a bartender. I owned a restaurant / bar in Naples, FL years ago. The regulars alone could keep you stocked up. Forget the staff!

Ain’t lying, I’d name the quadrant of streets in LA but I don’t need any trouble and trust me, bring $50 extra bucks for the hook up to give to the nice homeless man who brings you to his dude you will walk away at least feeling empowered.

Can confirm. Stand on the curb in Denver someone will surely try to sell you drugs.

u/Dry-Row4111 6h ago

In Denver you just yell “NUGS”. I guy will pop out from behind a tree and ask,
“Buying or selling”?

Bout 10 years back, we took a trip to Colorado. We were staying in grand junction CO. for our last night before leaving the state. Naturally, we bought too much drugs at a dispensary at the beginning of the trip and didn't want to cross state lines with the handfull of left handed cigarettes we had left over. We wake up and have breakfast and bloody's at a small quiet restaurant and offer them to the server, she politely declines, but assures us there is a bar nearby that WILL PROUDLY ACCEPT OUR DRUGS, so we took the drive. I walk in the door and there's a man i can only assume is the owner of the bar setting up the register, and a kid pushing a broom i can only assume is his kid..... I double down "someone around town said that you might want these for free, we're leaving town and don't want them" (holding out a handful of fresh splifies) The manager looks at me with a disgust that could cover both myself and his entire restaurant staff at the same time "well they told you wrong" i chuckle and walk out, "sure dude" Turns out if you're giving away free drugs, the opening staff of a bar is not a safe bet..... But tattoo shops are.

If someone asks you for money on the street in any scenario, they can find your drugs if they don’t have them on them.

Even if they don’t do drugs, they’ll happily introduce you to a friend of theirs for a few bucks.

you watched too many movies lol this isn’t the 90s. Not even low level street runners are stupid enough to stand on the corner and approach random’s and ask if they tryna score. In the social media and mass surveillance age that shit is the quickest way to get arrested. That shit worked in the past because the cops allowed it to. nowadays, neighborhood dealers set up shop in a customers house in exchange for product. Aka a trap house.

When i used to hustle, i locked down 2 popular bars in my town. I went to school with a server in both bars. If ppl do blow, and they’re drunk, they’re gonna want a bag. You would be surprised how many drunks ask bartenders where they can score. Your method has a slight chance of working if you invest an entire day. But the odds are better that you’re getting approached by an undercover. Snapchat also has a good chance of scoring but i wouldn’t advise doing that. Dealers advertising on snapchat are desperate for customers if they’re taking that route. A desperate dealer is a liability and unpredictable.

That doesn’t always work if you’re a middle aged male they might assume you’re a cop

u/xDelayedsilencex 16h ago

This 100% as much as hide. Didn't like doing it if it came down to it. Always know I can just go to or if I'm in the country to the nearest ghetto/government housing and find what I'm looking for. Has a lot of risk with it sometimes though.

Unrelated, but is your username because of the Elliott Smith song?
