It's a Shame That The Drug Business Has Become What It Is

A few days ago I got a call from a friend telling me that his friend and partner in crime were getting a shipment of some mushrooms at $35 an 1/8 (I know, overpriced but shrooms can be very hard to come by in New Hampshire). So for the past couple days I've been absolutely stoked. I love mushrooms more than any drug on the face of the planet and had not tripped by myself in a long time. These past few days I've been planning out my trip to make sure it would be as mental as possible.
So tonight I head out to go pick them up with my friend all giddy with excitement. We call the guy to tell him we are on our way to pickup when he tells us that the shipment is bunk and that 5 people who they sold to the other night, came back and said the shrooms were fake. Now this mutual friend of ours only gave us this heads up because we are long friends of his and he did not want to screw us over but him and his partner are still out there selling these bunk shrooms to unsuspecting people for $35-40 a pop.
This just pisses me off. Drug dealers these days not giving a fuck about their customers and only in it for the money, and willing to screw people over to make it. Whatever happened to the days of the honest dealers, the ones who were in it to provide a service and not to make a quick buck? The ones who treated you like an actual customer and a person? Not these drug slinging plebs who like the idea of being a drug dealer more than actually being a drug dealer, the ones who act as if you are inconveniencing them by calling them up on Friday night looking to score. We're the ones giving you business, giving you our hard earned money and they treat us like nothing more than an inept piggy bank.
I want to hear your thoughts, does the current state of the drug business make you long for the old days?

the respectable ones are still out there but i do agree that the "biz" has become a little sketchy. regardless of what the social morality is, this IS a business and should be treated like one

I just love how the government never learned from Prohibition. Drugs don't create crime, making them illegal creates crime.

I know right, if you take away the illegality of the substance itself, and crimes committed by a dope fiend to pay for their shit, which they wouldn't need to do if the shit was legal because it would be cheaper, alcohol would probably be a factor in more crimes esp. violent crimes by people who are drunk/on drugs.

Why's that? If you've never done shrooms before, or only done them a few times, how can you be expected to know what they look like. Also you gotta keep in mind even if you could say 'oh they can just look it up on the internet,' I personally don't think that's going to help you too much, and there's plenty of people that just plain suck at using computers and can't find shit on the internet.

If I had not been forewarned by the dealer beforehand, I would have realized they were bunk the second he handed them to me, but I am a very experienced shroomer and know what to look for, expecting the same from your average recreational user however is a stretch. With so many strains out there, all with varying characteristics it can be incredibly hard to determine what strain of shroom it would be. And many non psychedelic mushrooms look startlingly similar to cubes.

They only go for $35-40 when the supply line dwindles (Guess New Englanders don't like their psychedelics during the harsh winter). Usually they go for around $25-30 when supplies are high, but it can still be very hard to get shrooms up here in New Hampshire, even with a good connect.

shit china out here has become the skeetest shit ever. 15-17 year olds all got addicted to it and tried selling skeet assed beans. being one of my favorites, i decided i'd just get my own connect of good shit and then hook up good friends. all of the bullshit of the drug scene made me pull out of it, and it is probably saving me jail time.
only good friends deserve good drugs. keep your friends close and fuck the skeet dealers
