Drug rip-off thread

Hey,

A few days ago I got 300 dollars "ripped" off me, it was kinda my mistake trusting in a new source so quickly (in 2 month). There aren't many options you can really do when you end up getting ripped off. Tell me some of your stories plus maybe your revenge?

Alright, this one time I ripped a guy off and got ripped off in the process.

Hear me out - I was coming down off of crack and me and my buddies wanted more money to get more crack. I was also on alcohol and benzos, my mind was not there at all.

We decided eh, my buddy had recently punched a hole in his wall.. why not try selling some of those pieces of drywall as coke? We bagged up some pieces/crushed some up to make it look semi-legit, at least in the dark light I was about to go make the deal at - the person's vehicle.

They drive up, I walk up to them. Small talk is exchanged, they want to see the product before they buy it. I say ah, money first, it's how it should work when buying drugs IMO. Or drywall, as was happening in this situation.

I hold the little bundle with one hand, well more like a couple fingers. I sorta put my hand through the passenger window and the passenger starts finger-fucking it, then before I knew it..

ZOOOOM

The fuckers drove off with the coke, err drywall. or maybe I was the fucker here, yeah I was more of the fucker at that moment IMO. I gave 'em the finger, and walked back to my buddies. They seemed quite disappointed that the scam didn't go as planned, but I was quite relieved.

Now, don't get me wrong, the next day when I was sober I felt horrible about it and really regretted it hard. How could I be so stupid, so much could have went wrong. They could have kicked my ass. I woulda had people after me if they actually gave the money. It's a small town, too.

Anyways yeah, drugs make people do extraordinarily stupid shit, especially when the goal is to get more of the drug you were smoking straight for the past 3 hours. I feel terribly sorry to them. I've been ripped off in the past and this was my first time ripping off someone like this, and I'll never do it again.

There was a thread a few weeks ago about a guy who purchased a bunch of Adderall. He asked us to I.D. the pills and it turned out they were Ibuprofen.

Last I heard he was getting his friends with gun to pay the dealer a visit. It'd be interesting to get a follow up!

DOCTOR_JUSTICE•

This is the exact reason why you should do research beforehand or pull up the pictures of adderall pills on your phone when doing the deal.

13
oswaldhuxley•

That's what we all told him! I can't remember the exact amount but I don't think it was for personal use either!

16
DOCTOR_JUSTICE•

Damn that sucks. How much was he selling them for do you remember? I'm always interested in comparing how much I get them for compared to other people.

oswaldhuxley•

No idea. I think he bought them for two to five dollars. I forget the details now.

So glad I don't live in a country where random idiots have access to guns so that they can settle little slights like these with deadly force. The things people think are worth killing for...

filmassholesreturn•

While I think the idea of bringing a gun is more for intimidation, the thing I'd be most worried about is some sort of retaliation.

1
galmse•

You don't bring a gun unless you're ready to use it. What if the dealer has a gun? He'll be fearing for his life - what if he shoots? Maybe he'll have armed friends or relatives over. And if your gun is loaded, what if things get heated and you end up shooting even though you didn't plan to going into it? Now somebody's dead because you wanted to intimidate a guy over a few hundred dollars. Didn't fucking think that through, did you.

I was picking up a quarter pound off this guy who has been reliable for multiple single ounce pickups. He had his med card and got it from a legal grower. I split the cost ~$360 per person. My friend and I give the guy the money and he goes and gets the weed. Only this time he calls me an hour after giving me this bullshit story about how the grower he gets it from pulled a gun on him and he got robbed. He tried telling my friend and I that our money was gone and he wasn't paying us back. We were juniors in highschool dealing at the time and this guy was probably 20-22. This guy probably just thought he could pull one on a couple kids and have no repercussions. My friend's brother heard what happened and he knew some people who helped us out. We knew where this dumbass lived (he lived with his mom). We called him from a different phone the next day and tried to "pickup" a zip. He rolls up and my friend's brother and his friends box this guy's car in. They demand the money back the dickhead stole from us. He only had $200 on him and he coughed it up so quick it qasnt even funny. He said he didn't want any trouble and he had the rest of the money at home and he would go get it etc etc. They take the $200 and let him go. They call him 30 min later and his phone is off. This guy's phone is off for 2 days straight. Time to take action my friend's brothers were honestly some crazy motherfuckers just looking for an excuse to cause problems. They go to this guy's house in the middle of the night and break all the windows on his car and graffiti his garage. The guy calls them the next afternoon around 1pm saying he is going to call the police and makes threats that they'll go to jail etc. These kids threaten to hurt him and his mom if he doesn't pay up right now. The guy was scared for his life so he doesn't do shit. Doesn't call the cops he puts the money in his mailbox and texts my friend saying come get your money back.

Morale of the story: don't fucking rob people

Kind of feel bad that they threatened to hurt his mom lol... Fuck the guy but leave his mom out of it

Ehhh, it was a bluff, and the guy was obviously a major shithead who seems like he needed something that fucked to make him cough up the money.

A dude ripped me off on selling me coke by giving me some shitty weird salt adderall concoction. Not only did I give him 90 for it, he was so fucking paranoid talking about people hearing us doing the drug deal in his apartment he didn't even give me a full gram.

I went home and did a decent line, but I didn't get high. I was pissed when the drainage hit my throat because I knew then it was not fucking cocaine. Later a few months down the road I found out he got busted in his business he was selling coke and started becoming an informant. He quickly lost whatever "friends" he did have and now is depressed as fuck.

I hate him.

Hate is a strong word for somebody that stole ninety dollars from you.

lame_ghost•

Haha yes it's not that much, but at the time it was all the money I had at that time I had in my life. I should of just tucked that money away for a rainy day instead.

I let my dumbass friend take forty hard earned dollars of mine to go get some "shroom chocolates" from this "super legit" hookup he found. He comes back to me with fuckin' Ferrero Rochers wrapped in tinfoil. Needless to say I did not get my money back, and the dude's only excuse was that he mixed them up with his brother's stuff in the fridge. Yeah, okay.

I got ripped off for 100 bucks and my iphone 4 about six months ago. What'd I do about it? I stopped doing heroin and got a job. I don't say this a lot because it's a horrible thing to wish on anybody but I hope those motherfuckers are still deep in their addiction and if they're clean I hope they kicked in a jail cell and are still locked up. I literally helped this dude move his mom out of the house she was getting evicted from the night before and gave him and his homie some dope so they wouldn't get sick all less than 24 hours before they stole my shit. In all fairness though it was my own damn fault for letting my shit out of my sight for a minute.

Not mine but happened to a buddy: we were young and decided to start dealing some weed. We got drunk and went to the movies where my friends smoked up as I was being drug tested at the time. they left to smoke another bowl under a bridge, a well known smoking spot, and met another group of kids who wanted to buy a fair amount of weed. They demanded to only deal whth my friend and shooed us away. Red flag I know but we were young and stupid So we let my buddy be alone with them to do the deal.

we couldn't find my friend for an hour after checking all over the place and freaked out and called my dad. About five minutes after that my friend showed up with a random Russian dude in tow. Turns out he had gotten on a bus with them and they took him to an abandoned house where they kicked the Shit out him and broke 2x2s over his head. Then they left him there and he dipped only to see them at the first bus stop he could find where he met the Russian who offered to help if another fight broke out. One of the worst nights of my life, and yes my friend was an idiot.

Some skinny little douchebag made me give him a ride to where he was going to meet his "guy."

He got out of my car and asked how much I wanted to spend. I said x amount. He asked if he could see it. So I took it out.

He just grabbed it out of my hands and said he was going to go grab the drugs before he gets beat up for being late.

I called after him and got out of my car like wait up dude. But he had skated off. I got back in my car. Thought for a minute. Texted him. called him 3 times. No response. I drove around the block. He wasn't anywhere to be found.

So I kept driving.

Finally found him. Skating away under a bridge at full speed. When he saw my car he jumped off his skateboard and ran under a fence.

My buddy and I hopped that fence and proceeded to beat the kid with his skateboard. He wasn't unconscious but he wasn't standing up for a bit.

I let him keep the money.

Figured if he was poor enough to steal from me, he probably needed it more than I did.

Needless to say, he had to hide for a while from everyone looking to pick up.

i love that you let him keep the money.

Alright so me and some buddies are at a show and these two dudes come walking through the crowd saying they're selling coke. I grab their attention and we start talking prices. My friend asks if he can feel it lol. So they hand him a gram bag and as soon as he gets I say I want to buy some. I ask him how low he'll go for a gram and he says $70. I decide to risk it and buy it. Now as this dude and his friend are distracted giving me change for a 100 dollar bill (all I had on me) my friend pockets the other gram and wanders off. I get my coke and my change and they leave without even noticing. Ended up being decent but definitely cut with something. Not worth $70 a g but definitely worth $70 for 2 ;)

Back in high school I had a bunch of leftover adderall and ritalin from me actually trying to figure out a good medication for my ADD. Around $150 worth. Not a big enough market at high school. One of my closest friends at the time said he could sell it at his high school for me for 20%. I figured what the hell. Long story short I got the run around for awhile then didn't see him for 5 years. I forgave him but we were no longer friends after that.

Me and 3 of my friends were going to do shrooms. It was thanksgiving night and we had a free apartment and plenty of time/food and money to have a great trip. The only problem was our original dealer got busted and therefore, we didn't have a solid hookup anymore. One of our friends was still in high school and said that one of his friends has a guy who could hook us up with mushrooms. We were all far from each other at the time, so one of my friends put I'm $140 and my friend from high school put in $60 (keep in mind we were buying a large amount) and expected me and the 4th friend to pay them back as soon as we meet up. Turns out when my high school friend went to go pick up the shrooms, he handed them the money, they handed him a target bag, and floored it instantly. And inside the target bag, was large slices of portobello mushrooms. This guy literally went to target and bought mushrooms and cut them up before coming to us. We never got a hold of him again,

I know this guy about my age. He became a member of the same social club I belonged to. (Cheap booze and usually drugs available at this place) I knew he sold various different fun stuff. Now this dude was a weird guy so i would only go to him as a last resort. Usually it was a big ordeal for the simpliest things. Anyway I wanted some painkillers. He says he can get me some percs. Cool. He picks me up to make the deal while we drive around for a bit. He could've just came in my apartment but that would be to easy for him. I get what I wanted. He stops at a gas station so i chevk to make sure i got the right amount when he goes inside. He shorted me a pill. No big deal. He comes back and I tell him. He keeps asking me to recount. Eventually he gives in and I say just give me the $15 back that it was worth. Now he says he doesn't have it and he would give it to me tomorrow at the party our club was having with Strippers. Next day he calls and says he's on his way. He never shows up. I call. Next day I call. Never answered. I don't see him for 3 years. I wasn't upset and didn't really care. Wasn't much money and I didn't have to deal with him anymore. So one day im on my porch drinking and grilling with a couple friends show up at my new place. Out comes dumb dumb (that was his nickname when he wasn't around). He was just as shocked to see me as I was to see him. I didn't know my new roommate knew him. He instantly gave me a literally 1hr story of what happened. He said all kinds of crazy shit about robbing people getting robbed, buying and selling guns, and eventually getting raided for tons of drugs he was selling and for the guns. My friends all walked away during this very bad movie like story. At the end he said he can give me a couple xanax to make up for it. I said sure even though I don't care for them. I ended up just giving them to my friends. It was just an odd ordeal. Wow that was a long ramble so I apologize if you actually read this but. I'm high so their ya go.

I recently visited a town I used to live in to meet up with some old long term mates for a night out. My friend wanted to buy some coke so he called up a guy that he had not used before but been told he was good by someone else.

The guy shows up 15 minutes later, big bloke driving a corsa with another fairly big bloke in the passenger seat, and passes my mate the baggy in exchange for the £50 for the 'gram'. All done very swiftly and discretely, not giving us a chance to observe the bag. He then said enjoy and drove off with his obnoxiously loud music (it was Eminem - Till I Collapse, sigh) blasting through the town.

Turns out it was just baby powder.

I got ripped off £20. My friend (K) told me he was going to pick up some weed and asked if I wanted any, I did. I gave K £20 for an eighth and he told me to wait with a group of others for him. I trusted him so I agreed to wait. K came back a couple of minutes later with two bits of plastic carrier bag wrapped up. I looked at the bundles and something was amiss. They were full of a ground herb, I smelt it and it was full of pizza herbs. He blamed a different dealer for the rip off than he originally "picked up from" and I guessed it was K's fault. One of my best friends later found out that K ripped me off and I never trusted him again.

I got ripped a couple times over a $20 gram of weed. Meh.

An old acquaintance of mine, though, he got ripped for one out of three $10 capsules of china white while I was driving him in return for weed. Reds down MLK Blvd stuck some kinda shake 'n bake breading mix in one of 'em.
