RX anything if you have a good drug plan. Painkillers go for .50-1.50/mg depending on what they are and where you are. If you're on medicaid, and you have a 120 pill rx, and pay a dollar for 120, say, oxy 30's, that's 3600.

Flipping 8ths of weed while bartending really is just "bartending." every bar has that guy that works their that flips 8ths/quarters whatever. You're just a bartender who has a slightly extended schedule that sometimes has housecalls.

You do delivery at all? Best part about being friends with your dealer, when my roommates were slinging in the pound+ range (we lived at house number 420, in a college town. People would come find us, but we'd always have poo poo delivered. It was awesome. Nothing like being able to make $600 in an hour in your underwear.

And really, the ability to make money in your underwear is why drug dealing is awesoome. Do you make money without getting dressed as well?

Mostly because he says he's a Drug Dealer, most people have these images of baller shot-callers with 20 inch rims on they impalas (ok, enough early 2000's rap references), when odds are you have someone in your circle of friends that sells more drugs than he did.

Hell, I can smoke an ounce in 3-4 days, selling one should be 3-4 hours especially if you're a goddamn bartender. It's like saying "Ask me about running a gaming shop!" when in reality it's a guy who sells his duplicate magic cards on ebay.

Definitely not wrong on the first point; it's more supplementary income than anything else. I don't really make a lot of deliveries these days; most people come to me (I've definitely sold in my underwear before).

Nahhh Mount Pleasant is boring. I've had pretty good luck with LSD however it's only reliably around from the spring to the beginning of fall (festival season). One thing I never see around is X; small amounts will make their way from Chicago but these days typically what I see is Molly and Sass, which again are around intermittently until festie season hits then it's all :catdrugs:.

I don't have a card but have walked into a couple dispensaries; it's not an ideal channel to pick up any kind of weight through as you're paying dude's mark up in a business model that has a lot more overhead due to keeping up the storefront. I have multiple suppliers that I've met over the years, a couple of them are growing it themselves. When you're buying from a grower directly you know the price is going to be better but you also need to check the product out harder since this is how bad batches get disseminated. The rest are usually within one degree to the source; you pay someone's mark up this way but it's less likely you're gonna see lovely Marijuana because those people are doing the same thing I am; shopping around.

Pressed pill ecstasy was everywhere in MI around 2005, maybe it's different now, but I remember lots of big bags of pills back in those days. Powdered "molly" (though they just called it MDMA back then) wasn't even a thing you could find without trying really hard.

Yeah, all the X i used to deal with came from Detroit, so I know its all over MI.

Drug dealing is all about connections.

What's the most you ever had on hand at one time? Pounds are surprisingly big when its fluffy weed. I'm talking like an entire walmart bag full for one measly pound.

Ever been busted?

Also, you say in the title never weigh under. Have you ever? I used to do it to annoying rear end freshman that only ever wanted dubs, i'd give them like .75 instead of a gram, or 3.0 on an 8th just so that i wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. It's not good business practice if you want to keep customers, but i was in a college town, was never hard up for sales, and was doing it for fun on the side to pay the 360 gold membership, HBO/Showtime etc bills and give me plenty to smoke for free. It's an easy way to get people to stop loving with you if you don't want to deal with them anymore, and requires no confrontation. 95% of the people get a short bag and only come back if they're hella desperate. Its an easy way to drive away business from people you dont want in your circle.

That said, my current dealer since i got out of the selling game is a guy i met because i confronted him on a short bag. It was an honest mistake, (at least i treated it like such - i just pointed out that the bag he brought was not an 8th, he busted out scales and went "poo poo, its not") he got shorted - he got a half, split the half into 3 weighed eigths and figured he didn't have to put the 4th on the scale, and just bagged what was left. He thanked me for it since it put him on alert that he was getting shorted, and hes my go-to now. nice guy, i babysit his kids sometimes since its real easy to pay me for my time. Any of your customers you trust like that? IE to house sit, pet sit, babysit, whatever?

actually, any funny customer stories period? I mean, you're not exactly high up on the totem pole, so the best fodder for this thread would be your clientele. Anyone super nuts? Super fun? Super cracked out, and insisting that the weed will bring em down?

Hah, no offense taken. Part of working at a lower tier such as mine is testing the gently caress out of everything. It's worth mentioning people that get fingered for pushing garbage here get burned, nobody pulls that poo poo twice, and if they do they've essentially invalidated themselves in the community.

Molly's fairly prevalent here, I'd say MDA has been easier to find in the past year but both are around on the regular. The Coke here is poo poo, their's no two ways about it. I was fortunate enough to meet one of the guys moving it out of Detroit; I've never seen a brick of coke before that, but then again this is the guy that got way too far into a K-hole at one of our last parties and managed to leave a bag with forty grand in it in home girl's room (he got it back). But yeah other than that guy it's all loving vitamin B and baby laxatives up here.

How long ago were you moving X? I know Detroit's the place to go if you're looking for pressed pills but I feel like it's all powder these days, that just be due to my social circle/surroundings though.

The most I've carried is a couple pounds, and that was one time. It was the some shittiest brick weed I've ever seen in my life, but theirs plenty of call for "mids" even if they're not actually mids; blunt smokers will almost always take quantity over quality, at least in my experience. Other than that I've gotten a pound a couple times but usually pick up much smaller amounts, talking like two ounces to a quarter-pound. It's definitely amazing how a pound be like 3 times the size that it should be if it's fluffy, it's been happening to me lately where the product is super dense, so it'll only look like a quarter of what it actually is.

I've been stopped driving with weight and a scale on me a few times but kept composure and made sure not to reek of weed myself. One time I got caught at a house party that was being broken up with a half-pound when I was barely under 21 and drunk. A friend of mine and I were cuffed on the curb next to the car and they drilled us about are you students, do you take financial aid, did you use any of that financial aid on drugs, etc. I'm pretty sure the only thing that saved us (besides being students) was the fact that it came up where we worked at the time, turns out the cop was really good friends with our co-worker's fiance, who was also a cop in the same jurisdiction. They talked for a minute while we sat (panic was definitely setting in at this point, I'm about five seconds from balling like a little bitch), they walk up and uncuff us, make me destroy the pipe they found, tell us both that "christmas came early this year", and send us on our way. I will never forget how hard I was shaking after we retreated back to my buddy's house.

I used to short people I didn't like all the time when I was younger, or give em mostly shake. I've found it's good for getting rid of that person but creates a stigma of being that guy that might try to short you, which can be more trouble/bad press for the long term than you want. I agree about weighing under being a decent way to get rid of someone you don't want around, I usually take the much lazier approach of not taking their calls, if they come looking you tell them you're out.

I actually have plenty of friends that started out as people I was selling to, hell I'm dating one of my suppliers right now. Dealing at any level is tapping into a network of people and being a part of it, I think that there's a lot of camaraderie inherent to being a part of something where the law will not protect you. It teaches you to count on people, not authority. Actually had one of my guys cat-sit for me while I was gone for a week this past September.

I'll get back to you on some of the weirder clientele experiences I've had; other than the 70 year olds I sell to that sneak pot into retirement homes that I mentioned before at some point I don't really have anything too colorful off the top of my head.

The short version is I don't make enough money for anyone to notice me. I get paid half in cash under the table for my hourly on top of making a pretty decent income from tips, and don't claim any of the cash tips in my taxes. If I got audited by the IRS they'd only get far enough to figure out what the restaurant was doing and then go for them; the IRS doesn't waste its time on poor people typically and on paper I made roughly $6,600 for the year of 2014. I'd put the real number closer to 30k between work and business. It'd take a pretty nosy bank teller to question the cash I deposit, even then I'd be audited before they went straight to searching my house.

The IRS would come after you, if they caught wind (which is very unlikely in the grand scheme of things, being you don't file a SchC or have an LLC or something). You are committing tax fraud. If you receive cash tips and do not have them listed on your 1099/W2, it is YOUR responsibility to report them, regardless of what shenanigans the employer is doing. If you're depositing $23k of cash per year you have almost surely had SAR's filed with the IRS, too. Some companies (banks and other financial institutions etc) have annual cash limits for SARs, not just one time; eg deposit 1k a month every month, SAR is filed in October. My company does this after 5k, our lawyers decided it was a good CYA I guess.

This is just like why service people do not deposit tips. It proves they are committing tax fraud, in the event that they are audited. The odds are low, sure, but they exist, and just paying for stuff in cash seems so much easier...

There's a dude in the prison thread who did a couple years for claiming $50,000 or so total in personal spending as business expenses over the course of a couple years. Admittedly, he said the the DA was hunting for things based on a fraud charge he got off on, but you're not exactly a legitimate businessman here. $25,000 a year is like $3,000 in taxes and FICA per year, that poo poo adds up quick.

IMHO, and I'm not a tax expert or anything, the guy in the prison thread was probably making $100k+/yr and claiming $10k on non-business expenses here and there would had never been caught if they'd not seized his computer for other reasons.

That is not true of someone claiming $6k in income a year and making $30k worth of cash deposits in a year, it seems to me that would raise huge red flags and it would be a hot minute before Uncle Sam himself was at your door.

100% agree. Enough SAR's and you'll surely get investigated. It is NBD for most people who get SAR's, unless you're doing something illegal and easy to trace. Like bragging about it on a forum indexed by Google and the government...

If he was smart he'd talk to a tax guy before he filed, say all his money is from legit sources like tips, and pay taxes on it.

Honestly I do pay for most things in cash, it's also worth mentioning that I don't really make large purchases other than the occasional computer upgrade or whatnot. I haven't considered the danger of depositing more than I should be; especially considering how little I make on paper, though the idea that I am committing tax fraud did not elude me. It almost certainly wouldn't be hard to spot if I gave them any reason to look or, god forbid, if I hit a random tax audit. Food for thought, appreciate the insight.

You're kinda reckless about personal details for a drug dealer dude. If I was slanging, I'd be worried about using regional slang like "boy" for heroin, let along actually flat out saying where I live.


There's a dude in the prison thread who did a couple years for claiming $50,000 or so total in personal spending as business expenses over the course of a couple years. Admittedly, he said the the DA was hunting for things based on a fraud charge he got off on, but you're not exactly a legitimate businessman here. $25,000 a year is like $3,000 in taxes and FICA per year, that poo poo adds up quick.
Yeah I was definitely apprehensive to talk about any of this, but my caution was outweighed by curiosity. I wanted to see what people would do and say, the results have been not at all what I expected. It's interesting to hear what people more in tune with the tax system have to say as I've been pretty negligent toward that aspect of it. Definitely did not consider the fact that working a job that's being shady with the books could be working against me.

IMHO, and I'm not a tax expert or anything, the guy in the prison thread was probably making $100k+/yr and claiming $10k on non-business expenses here and there would had never been caught if they'd not seized his computer for other reasons.

That is not true of someone claiming $6k in income a year and making $30k worth of cash deposits in a year, it seems to me that would raise huge red flags and it would be a hot minute before Uncle Sam himself was at your door.
I was tempted to lump all three tax-related posts into one reply but there are ideas/concerns in all three that merit attention. In retrospect 30k seems high and I have been trying to answer everything as honestly and accurately as possible. I do believe I'm over the poverty line; probably not by that much however. That's still a huge discrepancy as you stated, again this is something that I really didn't consider (derp).

100% agree. Enough SAR's and you'll surely get investigated. It is NBD for most people who get SAR's, unless you're doing something illegal and easy to trace. Like bragging about it on a forum indexed by Google and the government...
Call it bragging if you want; I really don't see much in here that's particularly flattering myself.

He could easily just say it was unclaimed earnings from his bar job and pay the back taxes though. It'd be annoying but it wouldn't land him in federal prison.

If he was smart he'd talk to a tax guy before he filed, say all his money is from legit sources like tips, and pay taxes on it.
An interesting counterpoint, unfortunately as is apparent from my replies above I am not that smart as far as your idea about getting with someone before filing however, at least not this year. Also unfortunately some fucker I am acquainted with has spent the last month knocking off my clientele and I am now more or less dead in the water.

I also just realized that I am actually breaking A/T rules with the illegal activity discussing (just checked up on the shoplifter thread and then double-checked the rules page, whoops). So far I feel like this has been a swing and a miss as far as trying to bring forth something interesting and worth reading, if y'all have any more questions from now until thread dies have at it and I will answer to the best of my ability. As for the rest of you that weren't helldumping/shitposting: I appreciate the insights you've given, and thank you for taking the time to write them.

Sheesh, it's one thing to call yourself a drug dealer on the internet and sell a couple pounds here and there, but this is a kid who drops eighths and thinks he's big time.

I'm confident that I've been to parties that had more dope than this guy has ever moved.

It's like a hall monitor who tries to read you Miranda Rights.

Hates Native American people and tries to justify their genocides.

Put this racist on ignore immediately!
This thread sucks. Here are some better ask/tells about this from archives:

Ask me about being an amphetamine dealer/chemist! PhreeX (now deceased; suicide) talks about when he was manufacturing and selling 100k+ a month of methamphetamine.

Ask me about being a drug dealer in Japan. A goon talks about growing and selling weed in Japan, including what happened when they busted his grow.
