Something has inspired me to list a set of helpful guidelines I follow when it comes to buying mary jane. I dont know why this bothers me, but seeing someone buy grass from an honest fellow, who may not even be a regular dealer and not showing little if any kind of courtesy or appreciation drives me crazy. Now we are all pretty far apart here, we got a few members from UK, USA, England, Netherlands, think I even saw a Brazilian poster. What do many of us have in common? We are pot enthusiasts living in places grass is pretty much illegal. Now, that being said, its time to tip our hats to those guys who get bud, risk their necks to hook us up, and probably dont profit half the time. I know I know, some dealers make a killing, but Im talking about the everyday small time dealers who keep the shit circulating, whom if it werent for you guys, it might not be available at all. My respect to all of ya. Now, if you have read this far into my morning rant, here are the actual integrities for which I speak.

1) God damn it tip your friggin dealer. You think he wants to drive some illegal shit to your house or carry it around just to break even or make a lousy profit
time and time again? If you dont make it worth their while they arent going to keep you burning for long. Be prepared to tip very well, its your responsibilty as a non-ass bag.

2) Really this should have been number 1, but Im too lazy and stoned to rearrange it. NEVER EVER EVER EVER SNITCH. Let me go into detail here on this one because this is the side to the human psyche that makes me hate people. When you decide to take up marijuana as a fun hobby, you agree to breaking said law, and you take your own personal chance with whatever risks or repercussions. If you get pinched, you accept it, and take responsibilty for your actions. You dont hand them over someone's name, you dont pull others into your own personal hole just because your too thin skinned to deal with it alone. Besides, you think your going to get in a shit load of trouble over possession? In the words of George Carlin, "Take a fuckin chance people". Oh an dont give me that, well Im a respected physician and all that career horse shit. Your career isnt worth a pile of frog shit to me in comparison to someone's freedom, specially someone who got you the very weed you got pinched for. Anyway, Im passionate about this one so sorry for the lengthyness lol

3)Keep the little thugs out of it. Dont buy from kids and dont sell to kids. Am I saying this because pot is a horrible drug and kills braincells and save the children yadda yadda yadda? Fuck no. Im saying it cause kids are nothing but trouble on both ends. Little 16 year old thugletts will get you pinched because they just cant zip lips, and in these modern times, I dont expect much integrity either. You rarities that were raised by good parents are the exception im sure, but just as a general rule, (in selling or buying) Id prefer to avoid you until you old enough to develop standards.

4)Your bag seems a tiny bit short, or its too seedy, or it just wasnt very good herb. Dont start spewing off at the mouth to your dealer like he grew the shit him or herself. I dont imagine its really easy to generally measure a substance that consits of varying proportions of stem, seed, leaf and bud.
On top of that, as we all know, all weed can vary in high. If you truly feel shorthanded about it, just politely ask your dealer about it and SHOW them.
9 times out of 10, any decent human being will agree and compensate you for it, IF your complaint is relevant.

5) Respect your dealer like you would anyone else. They are not maximum security, law breaking nazi's that shoot babies with their free time. They are trying to get by like anyone else, and bringing you the god stuff, so in short, the whole meaning of this long and tedious article is to keep all you good dealers in high esteem where you belong. Its in NOT following these rules that results in pot being kind of hard to find in places similar to where I live.
So to anyone just getting into marijuana, please keep these guidelines in consderation.

P.S. Feel free to add anything I may have left out. Especially if you are a dealer

I half to agree with most of it. Although i dont tip, expensive enough as it is. I'll usually smoke one with the guy/gurl, if i have the time.

And if he hands me off a bag of schwag, i simply dont buy it, theres always someone else around. If not, i want a good deal cause i know for a fact he picked up that shitty weed for cheap... pass on the discount.

shit my dealers all drive new cars. here in kanada dealers make money. i love my dealer but would never tip him. dealers who dont have legitimate jobs are almost as bad as those thugettes you speak of. at least in toronto that is.

its different here in the uk ,most if not all dealers are in it to make profit and couldnt give a shit about you .i started growing so i didnt have to have any contact with dealers and i hate the fact that my money was funding serious crime ,and some idiot was making pure profit from something that should be available to anyone for a much lower price legaly .ill never buy from a dealer ever again.

Tip the dealer? Compliment the dealer on how good his pot is? You've got to be kidding? We live in the "Me" generation, remember? I mean ... we are all OWED things these days, right?

yea i dont tip either, and i usally smoke the dudes pot b4 i decide if its worth buying or not. Like bogart if its not worth it its not worth it and go to sumone else.

BINGO unless their friends woth day jobs just hooking a few friends up, their in it fot the money and couldnt give a shit about anything else.

weed is so goddamn cheap here in kanada i can get kush 100$ oz anytime dealers make soooooooo much.

Well now dont misunderstand, Im not talking about kissing anyone's ass by any stretch. I just mean basic ettiquette. Also, hopefully assuming I am able to not only get a good grip on growing, but to get my hands on some very high end seeds, Ill never have to buy it again, but as I said in another post, it seems all the seed sites are boycotting the US, which sucks because I just dont have the means that I can think of to get either fantastic pot, or fantastic seeds, and to be honest im sick of low grade weed, I want to put the good stuff in my body, and its frustrating when you have the money but no one seems to be able to supply high end demands. (Or wants to)
I would give anything to find some secret site that sells weed by mail and operates cryptically lol theyd make so much money off me lol.
Anyway, Im just saying that these seemingly invisible haze or white widow dealers might be more willing to provide their service if the cutomers were of a more sincere caliber. I dont know, maybe Im wrong. Anyway, I will never deal, its jus not my kind of thing, I do however want to keep myself in my own supply. Next order of busness is who wants to mail me some killer seeds lol just hide them in some fake peice of crap gift and Ill pay ya well lol!

Hmm, I have never tipped a dealer in cash. My last dude was a coworker and pretty cool, so I would burn him down every time he sold me a bag. They definately deserve your respect driving 45 minutes to 3 hours out of town just to pick up 3 ounces and maybe make $60 after they're done selling it all.

On #5, that is very important. No matter how cool the dealer seems, taking a bad attitude with complaining or insults is a bad idea. My buddy got a short bag once and started stepping out of line. Five minutes and a pair of brass knuckles later we still have the bag, but I'm driving my friend to the emergency room as he is bleeding all over the seat.
