Anyone else get nervous before Making A Big "Purchase?"

So like many times before, I'm getting a QP tomorrow of some pretty good dank. Sadly, I do not have the luxury of living in a state where MJ is medically regulated. So I have to deal with a guy who, by now, I know pretty well by the way. Still, nothing is certain when it comes to purchasing illegal, expensive items. Even after dealing with quantities somewhere between an O to a pound or two for some time, I find that I definitely still get nervous before buying an amount of weight that would carry the possibility of a felony sentence.
So what do you think? Am I just a puss or do you have the same type of experience?

Yeah, picking up a 1/4 lb would make any sane person nervous in states that have bad laws.

Eh I mean not necessarily. There are people who don't really seem to phased by it and don't seem crazy to me. Yet, they do often seem to lack judgement and tend to be compulsive.

Well, you know the guy well, so that's a big plus. Just make sure all the lights on your car are working and obey all the traffic laws traveling there and back and you'll be alright.

Yeah, I really can't imagine doing a purchase of anything over maybe a quarter ounce without knowing the guy fairly well. Don't understand how some big dealers do it on pretty much a daily basis without losing their mind.

I've only bought a QP once, but I was pretty nervous driving it back to my house. You're not crazy.

maybe ignore the word 'nervous' and let the word used to describe the emotional feeling felt evolve to deeper understanding to feeling what may get lost in translation. play with what is to keep fun.

I'd be more concerned with the price & quality of the bud but thats just me.

Yea, my fear usually evolves into arousal about getting slammed in the Pen., too 
@OP Totally normal unfortunately I'd love to say you're being paranoid, but it isn't paranoia if it's justified.

Of course that's all part of what I'm nervous about. What if it's not the quality I'm looking for or what if he asks for more money than was agreed on. I know the guy well, but we aren't best buddies. I could still see things going wrong

you know that sounds crazy but i understand where youre coming from. when it comes to buying that amount of bud id be sweating balls hoping it is straight dank cause you really never know and if you end up with reggie its super hard to flip.
but, yeah picking up large amounts of bud is always nerve wracking

I was definitely alert and aware when I'd buy a decent sized amount. Slightly anxious but not bad since the area I was in (Seattle) was super weed friendly and my hookups were smart/fair/all that shit and I'd dealt with them a lot.
Now I don't do shit so

with what eye seen while in near monterey bay, how some friends handle few pounds to many, much more with such vibes as myself being young to scene felt comfortable as i sit now. we are just these body to deaden the waves of life as there do surround and pass through our being. other places on this land would have different vibrational frequencies to handling such affairs, and eye too, would be at the gasp of them waves. wise man said, 'pay attention.'

Moral of the story is never get blazed before a big deal. And yeah I definitely always follow that rule

Just be prepared to turn it down if you arent happy with it unless hes your only connect but even then i would still have a look at it first. If you let him sell you a shitty batch of that quantity he'll assume he can get away with selling you his lower grade stuff in the future

Thanks my man, and don't worry too much guys I've been here plenty of times before. Kind of just curious as to how everyone else felt. But thanks for the good wishes. As always I'll be safe and smart. Good vibes
