You know, people are going to be people, and people actually love cocaine. The best bet would simply be full decriminalization, have ligit stuff for sale. You would get so many less over doeses, nothing laced with fentenal and would force cartels to go ligit too. And if folks want fentinal, its there too.

It seems like a better idea than trying to smuggle drugs in with you. I did this *once* right after a terrorist attack with heightened security and it was... fun having all the dogs and armed police stopping the bus every few hours and checkign people's passports... I wouldn't do it again but I was arriving at the destination very late at night and didn't want to be out on the streetson my own.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

Easy to say if you're in a legal state. I get precsribed codeine that I can't even take because it makes me vomit/have heart palpitations but can't get weed without putting myself at risk. Drug laws are supposed to protect people, but they don't. I tried buying weed online a few days before I went in for surgery because I knew I wouldn't be in a fit stae to even get myself to a pharmacy or on a street corner or in a deler's car afterward. I los tmy life savings to that bastard. Tjhe hospital discharged me at 10 oc cloack at night refusing to even prescribe any pain relief. I had to go back to work 2 days after with absolutely zero pain relief, it was awful, I kept going in to the toilets to cry on the floor from the pain.

Bought a blunt when I was on holiday in Bulgaria by randomly approaching some teens who looked like users, offered to pay over on the condition I went with them, so the runner introduced me to the dealer, got some amphetamines for himself with my cash and gave me a line. Opened up the blunt and it was 100% dope, pretty standard homegrown but worked out as a gram or two to last me the holiday puffing joints on the balcony.

[@maggiep9007]

Always insist on going. If they say "i cant take you in, he doesnt know you," theyre going to run off with your money. I remember buying alcohol as a kid by giving cash to bums, and half the time they'd run off with our money and booze even if we offered to pay double if they didnt take off.

[@thegr8pulido]

[@ToquzOghuzKhaganatekhan]

Avoid dark alleys streets corners and people gatherings .....

[@tokeme01]

Doesn't really tell you how to avoid the scam... I avoid the scam by simply telling the guy, I want to try before I buy. It's real simple, I try the bag, I buy 'that' bag, not a different one. ok? Done deal. If he can't commit, just walk. Be warned, because the guy will often give you a try of a real bag, then give you another one which will be all wrapped up and impossible to try again. You might say, 'well just unwrap it'... not that simple because the guy will intentionally give it to you in a really busy place. If this happens, leg it. It's an obvious sign it's a crushed up headache pill.

[@maggiep9007]

Takes too long. Youll get caught. Even a real dealer will tell you to fuck off. The best way is to just buy from someone a friend can vouch for.
