Finding pot in a new city.

Don't know if this has ever been covered so I want to clear this up right now.

If you move to/visit a new city and lack a hookup, just go out to eat. No shit. Most waiters/waitresses I know smoke a little pot, and there is that one guy that works with them that is a veritable cornucopia of illicit substances. Just strike up a conversation and if it feels right, just casually reference that you're looking for some buds but can't find any.

Chances are if you don't look/act like a fucking weirdo, they will totally get you hooked up. Servers, I sometimes feel, get the best drugs available.

Plus, it keeps you out of the fucking hood.

Haha, anyone else's 1st thought when reading this?:

"Do you party?"

"Excuse me?"

"Do you get high..?"

I'd like to take a moment to thank the writers of that film for reintroducing that term to americans.

A girl once asked me if I party, and I was like what? She said "DO YOU DO COKE?!" all loud and annoyed, and I said "No."

Very good advice. People are more willing to help out people who they know are not narcs or w/e

Upvoted for truth. Having worked in the industry for most of my life, and having a brother/roommate who is a chef, I can honestly say that working in the industry breeds a bad lifestyle. One fueled largely by drugs and or alcohol. Not everyone is addicted to something, but a disproportionately high percentage is.

I stick to smoking, and when offered a late night, post shift bump with the head server, a chef (not my brother), and the wine manager I politely declined, but busted out a bag fill the bowl.

I'd highly suggest high end restaurants, especially the ones near business centers, and with well-paid clientele. Those places are crawling with smokers.

fucking. brilliant.

you deserve a houseboat for this gem.

I wish I would have known this a year ago when I had recently moved. Shit, I'm tempted to try this the next time I go out to eat just to see if it works.

Thanks.

Oh hey highguy420 - didn'y I just upboat you on another thread?

1
highguy420•

Haha, I've done that before where I run into the same guy's comments in more than one thread. I've also had it the other way around where someone responds to two or three of my comments in a row and I'm like "wtf? you stalking me, j/k" ... actually I don't talk like that. I do think like that sometimes.

Great minds (read: high people) think alike I guess

Great minds, or the greatest minds?

I went to a local underground rap concert and after the show just walked outside and asked aloud if anyone had any good bud. A short walk to a guys car and I was on my way with a fat sack.

Yea, but how do you know which restaurants to try this at? I mean does Applebees give you better chances that say olive garden?

Taco Bell late night shift workers are as stoned as the people buying food 99% of the time.

Or just stand outside a 7/11 for 5 minutes.

This is horrible advice. I work at a local bar/restaurant and we get a dude or even sometimes chicks asking the bartenders or servers if anyone has a "connection" every weekend. Sorry dude but I'm not risking possible jail time for a complete stranger. There are waaaay safer ways of going about this.

I see people keep recommending this site. Every time I check it out it's pretty much the same thing for each city "Ask people". Weird....

I know. How would asking people help me get weed?

touche :) I've been bested once again.

I also checked out my own city - the advise they give on webhigh could probably get you killed here

Buns_Of_Awesomeness•

My last area was crawling with undercovers, webehigh essentially said to just ask around at some McDonalds and that the cops were lenient. The info was utter bullshit, and I think it had been setup by police to get easy stings set up. Also the info hadn't been update in over a year by then.

rib-bit•

This site's info has worked for me in 3 out of 4 cities in the past year. Read it but don't expect it word for word. Go to the area. Look around. Make eye contact. Grow a pair and ask. I usually ask for "smoke". Often they are just as, if not more nervous, than you are. Think about it. They are carrying. You are not.

I know kitchen staff are huge stoners so this makes so much sense

needpineapples•

It's not just people at restaurants, it's anyone in the service industry. However, most of them aren't willing to risk their jobs for someone they don't know to score weed.

And no, servers don't get the best weed. People who grow and friends of growers get the best weed.

Also, children of growers. My dad gives me free weed whenever I visit.

3
reverendchubbs•

That is, if they are good growers. I know two people who grow right now, one can't grow for shit, the other grows amazing shit.

Go to a park. Sit and watch. Remember most likely you both think in a stony pattern. Where would u go to deal? Watch the people in the park soon you will see how it goes down/

i always found it easy, i can pick the smokers, surprised my friends a few times with the old first person i ask trick.

Oh we definitely smell our own kind (pun intended?), some people just lack this ability.

RamblingStoner•

Before I took to toking, I had a friend who was a big stoner and I always joking said that is Stoner Sense would tingle whenever he was near pot or picking a stranger at random to ask about weed.

It used to be easy for me, but I have a kid now, so it's pretty weird to ask someone when you have a kid with you. Florida sucks, too. It's ridiculously illegal.

lubacious•

On the upside, successfully acquiring in Florida trains you to be quite the smuggler.

Rollertoaster•

True that. I bought the reefs with the little compartments in them to stash my weed in. I'm moving to Louisiana in 2 months (College) and they seem even less tolerant about weed.

I was always told this by my best friend who was a waiter. I just moved to a new city but haven't mustered up the courage to try it. Also, I don't really go out to eat that much. In addition, this technique works mostly at chain places, which I tend to avoid.

As a bartender I approve of this message. However, keep in mind that if you ask the first time you're there. Come in, get to know a few staff members, if they recognize you even a little its less sketchy. I definitly hook up my older customers who just cant find it anywhere else. Also, expect it to be expensive at first, and tip REEEAAALYY well.
