Back in uni I used to do a lot of drugs. Naturally, I had a lot of contacts so my friends starting asking me to get them drugs. Nothing transactional, just favors. It started with weed and eventually they wanted to try out new shit. It got so bad that I used to keep a shelf stocked with weed, acid, mdma and coke just so I wouldn’t have to take time out of my day to go buy drugs if someone wanted them. Then it hit me, I had become a drug dealer. I’m guessing this is mostly how the thing in the meme happens because real drug dealers, let me tell you, they’re fucking scary.
Every drug dealer I’ve ever dealt with was just a metalhead in an apartment that got into growing weed as a hobby. Not sure if I ever encountered a “real” dealer, but my interactions with them was just going over to their place, smoking a bowl and watching a movie or playing Mario Kart for a couple hours, then leaving with a bag.
Just selling plants and the occasional shrooms and happy pills gives you a way better clientele than selling all the other heavier shit. I’d be pretty on edge if i had to deal with tweakers all day lol
I’ve gotten in to some scary situations once I got fucked off on pills. Once addiction grabs you for real you will take chances to get what you need. Examples include pissing off junkies by banging the fuck out of their apartment door at 6am trying to wake them up so you can function at your job that day. But the weed guy is always chill lol.
