Should I be compensated?

For the past few months I've been assisting a good friend of mine, whom I also work with on a day-to-day basis, in getting marijuana by the ounce so she can sell it a county or two away. The town in which I live supplies the best "regular" priced bud around, and being an avid consumer of said bud, I have a lot of really good connects. As the months have gone by, I've noticed a decline in the service of the local dealers, making getting even a small bag sometimes taxing to retrieve, much less an ounce or more. It is truly annoying sometimes having to ride with her to get the bud without any form of compensation. My question is: should I be being compensated in some fashion regarding this matter? Personally I feel I should, but I was looking for some outside opinions.
Thanks, J

She should be giveng you weed or you should be charging extra. I get weed a lot for friends without expecting any compensation but if you are having to drive her around regularly you should be getting something in return

It isn't that I'm having to drive her around, she has a car. It's the fact that I'm basically in business with her and her..."associates". Not only do I set up the deals, but I try my best to make sure everything is going to move smoothly, and it always does. Mind she's contacting me just about every other day for this. Should I just tell her to lose the "training wheels"? She's perfectly capable of doing this herself. I feel I'm being used.

You should be getting compensated. She knows the buyers, you know the sellers. She shouldn't be the only one profiting there. Does she at least smoke you out after a run?

@ Maito, Not typically. I can ask for a front,she expects me to pay back usually.

Remember one of the basic rules of finance, at times you need to ask the question, "is the risk worth the reward"?
Point is, you're trying to help a friend. I get that... You're doing as much if not more leg work than she is... I get that too. But what I found compelling is that you said, "It's the fact that I'm basically in business with her and her..."associates".
So in other words, if HER associates get arrested, your name can easily come up. It seems as if your risk is much greater than your reward.

Not to mention if y'all get rolled up on with the weed. You'd go directly to jail.
