      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.

          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.

    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”.

    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.

    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.

    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.
