I don’t understand, why was it a thread
The dealer is telling him not to try anything stupid because he’s armed.
Seriously. Just because he didn’t know the type of gun doesn’t mean it was a threat. It sounds like he was just saying “just fyi there’s a gun out”, because lots of people will freak the fuck out if they see a gun.
You’re dead. The gun would be out where you can’t touch it. They’re a dealer; not a range. You would agree to a robbery.
If you KNOW them, you should he fine, MAYBE.
This is coming from someone who played the game.
Edit: Also, just throwing these out there: (for the US)
- you can make opium from unwashed/ untreated poppy seeds
- you can grow your own weed (in a lot of states)
- you can buy spores for any mushroom spores (y’know what I mean) -you can buy TEST KITS
Edit: this based on the context of someone saying they have a gun out. Why would you say that? They’re either stupid or going to rob you. Enjoy taking your chances. I will continue to buy my substances from people who don’t brandish their gun over text.
What’s the last time you had a CT scan?
Getting high on their own supply.

Embarrassing comment
Third degree embarrassment right here
Eh, if you know your dealer well enough to be invited in, and be made aware they’re armed, it isn’t a high level risk.
I mean, that could be a locality based thing, I guess, but I’ve known some dealers of a lot is substances over the years, and they don’t invite people in often, much less to come in and use. If anything, they’re going to tell you to fuck off if you ask to use the product in their crib.
Again, could just be that that ones I’ve known are different based on regional drug culture, I dunno.
Weed dealers do tend to be a little more chill though.
Don’t buy from dealers that are casual about guns? If someone is braking that many laws at a time, they’re a hazard. They’re brandishing over text. That’s up there with carrying too much, not following traffic laws, being loud, drinking and driving, using radio scanners, etc…
A good dealer will pull up in a Toyota cammery outside of InnOut, looking like your dad.
Some dealers will he also be legit, but rob people they don’t know. This would be the perfect way to have a gun out and rob them while they’re calm. You were dumb enough to show up; now you’re a target.
You seem really scared of drug dealers. Some of them might be involved with potentially very violent gangs, especially in certain areas, but that doesn’t mean you’re gonna get shanked as soon as you find out they have drugs or something like that.
Remember that a drug dealer’s main goal when interacting with potential customers is to sell them drugs and make some money. If you don’t pose a threat to them, it would be highly irrational for them to hurt you.
Also, it would only ever be even a little bit reasonable for a drug dealer to try mugging a customer if it meant they’d make more money than they lose; nobody will do business again with someone that mugged them.
This stuff would depend on your area, and there are some crazy people out there, but crazy people involved in loads of crimes generally don’t last long themselves before the police or someone else they upset get to them.
Killing people is also a very difficult thing. Most people don’t seem capable of murder, even if they like to make threats. I think there’s also a lot of work and planning involved if you want to ever get away with murder.
Bare in mind too that guns are quite normalised in the US compared to most other countries. Particularly in certain regions, having a gun in your house is normal and can be perfectly legal.
Obviously I would never intentionally do anything I knew was against the law, but just think about what people’s goals are and what they’d be likely to do. Most people are quite logical, and those that aren’t often end up in mental hospitals.
Fuck this take, if you’re buying weed and the dude tells you he has a gun out then fuck off and go somewhere else.
I mean I’d much rather the dude didn’t have a gun or threaten me, but I don’t really live in an area like that.
(Edit for clarity: I don’t live in the sort of area where someone would be likely to be threatened by a drug dealer)
Never played the game. But, one gets quite an education in prison.
Some dealers will he also be legit, but rob people they don’t know. This would be the perfect way to have a gun out and rob them while they’re calm. You were dumb enough to show up; now you’re a target.
Nailed it. But, this audience doesn’t want the truth of things. They want to feel comfortable in their lukewarm understanding.
I suggest that you pick an individual worthy of your investment in real life. Or, if that’s not a thing, PM me and we’ll talk meta.
I know there’s red flags but he includes a free dab with the purchase :(
The vast majority of dealers are just regular people who happen to sell weed as a side job. Being willing to sell a plant that’s legal for the majority of people in the US and should be legal everywhere doesn’t imply being willing to rob you at gunpoint.

I would rather just not hang out with stoners and dealers
The “radical neoliberal” radically clings to the short term comfort of bandwagon neoliberalism. While their lives are more expensive and more comfortable than someone in effective poverty, both live effectively paycheck to paycheck.
Only if some event beyond the radical neoliberal’s control happens, such as getting fired, might they experience poverty and prison. If we tell them this truth it forces them to perceive how dangerous the unrestrained bull market is as it runs loose in our collective fiscal china store. That doesn’t at all align with the radical neoliberal’s current ideology: “Be shallowly psycologically comforted by DNC POTUS marketing material. Hostility is warranted in rejection of all that does not provide comfort.”
The experience of prison and poverty is prerequisite to the radical neoliberal’s understanding it. Hypothetical unwarranted imprisonment isn’t an ethical means to any end.
The only proactive and ethical means for anyone without experience to understand poverty and prison is empathetically in the context of an existing relationship.
That wasn’t a threat. “Don’t try anything I have a gun” is a threat, not “Come up for dabs fyi I have a gun sitting in the open”.
Eh, it could be both. In a drug deal I’d take it as a sort of “you don’t wanna mess with me”
Having a gun to protect your weed is so ridiculously dumb. It’s not worth that much, and you go from very little time to potentially mega time.
Sure, a couple pounds or something.
5+ or 10+ and that’s their life on the line to protect. If they lose that, its over. Back to zero.
For someone like that that would be their entire life savings/work gone in seconds. You lose that product and can’t serve you lose your clientele. Forever.
Can’t buy groceries with no money. Your kids go hungry or miss school because you cant pay your car note and you get the cops at your door. Then you got some real problems.
This is assuming of course that whoever robs you doesn’t also have a gun and uses it immediately and kill your ass.
Depending on the situation, could be a lot more loss than you’re thinking.
I think the dumbest part of this would be someone in that line of work inviting people in or having them show up to their house in the first place. Super fucking stupid. If someone knows you have something that makes a lot of money they will try and take it from you eventually.
But idk I’m just some guy who watches crime shows.
I think you’re onto something. There was an Active Self Protection video (channel recaps real life self-defense scenarios) today of a home invasion where the attackers definitely knew the place, and there were drugs in the open.
Edit: totally forgot the cherry on top, there was a gun lying out when they came in, and one of the intruders grabbed it immediately.
Don’t invite untrustworthy people into your home period (this is an extension of the 5th crack commandment), lock your doors and keep your gun in a holster.
Anon wasn’t buying weed, but didn’t want to say what he was really buying bc 4chan has feds on it
This seems like the most likely answer…
Might be more than just a weed dealer, but yeah.
My former dealer introduced me to dabs during one visit. It was so fucking strong that I (despite being a wake-and-baker for nearly three decades) asked to use his bathroom, where I sat on the toilet with my head in my hands trying to figure out who to give all my weed to since I was going to have to quit smoking altogether. I came to my senses a few minutes later and my dealer laughed his ass off when I told him about it. I used to think I was a potential medalist in the Pot Smoking Olympics, but that shit sorted me out right quick.
TIL I should try dabs
If your thought is “pot doesn’t get me as high as it did when I first started smoking”, you should definitely try dabs.
But then you get the “Dabs don’t get me as high as they did when I first started dabbing” trip and have to take a month long T break.
Welcome to drugs!
In many states, if you have a gun anywhere in possession while committing a drug crime, even selling weed, it adds years of mandatory sentence onto the charges, often way more than the drug crime itself. I would be extremely weary of anyone mentioning anything about a gun and drugs together in a communication the cops can pin on you … because while they may be the nicest dealer you ever met, they are not the smartest.
