I'm new to nyc and am looking for a hookup. My first and only grow (pics in my gallery) lasted me for a while but now I'm dry. Don't really have any stoner friends around here, so I thought I'd look on craigslist. Has anyone ever tried this? Am I an idiot to even consider this? I've never dealt directly with dealers before so I'm kind of anxious about the whole thing. I've always just gotten weed from friends in the past but now I don't have a connection here. Do the cops watch craigslist for this kind of thing? This is one of the posts I was looking at: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/cas/459900580.html . Could be anything - could be legit, could be a cop, could be a scam to rob people and beat the shit out of them... who knows. I really need to find some stoner friends around here...

theres a couple dated news articles on google about cops busting dealers on CraigsList... but I dont think its worth their time to bust someone buying 1/8th. Id be more worried about getting ripped off
I tried it once and was almost gonna make the deal when my regular hookup called back.

No connections in nyc? wtf?
Aren`t there a crap-load of home-delivery services there?
Anyhow, if I were a dealer, I don`t think I`d advertise on craigslist. Hand out business cards w/a phone number, maybe...
Then again, looking at the post, he wants u to smoke w/him before he`ll sell and shit, sounds sort of legit (ha, for an on-line pot dealer). Dunno. I`ve had success in a new town with no connections by going up and asking people in the street if they can help out. Of course I chose as carefully as I could.

CRAIGSLIST TO FIND A DEALER?!?!?
dude i really really dont think you wanna go that route. maybe ask anyone of you r old connects if they can hook you up with someone in NY man, this place is gully, and you may find someone with a pound in their backpack and a couple of squad cars around the corner.
i wouldnt say stupid, but you do sound a lil desperate. just be easy, NY is not the place you just wanna "start asking questions" in. baby steps bruh, baby steps. so it right, you can find someone that has elite strains for days. . . thats of course after you go through the million and one people that are pushing "the deis" !!!lmao

Just find your local ghetto,drive around,and wait for "Yo"..Weed your way through the junkies and crackmonsters to the brothers with the lil manilla envelopes.Sounds safer than what you're contemplating...
F that shit. if u find a connect, it should be by luck or through a trusted friend... never on some random shit ESPECIALLY if they're talkin about high quality or high price as it is in that case. take your time. a record and/or prison ain't worth it.
you gotta just talk to people. everyone smokes in nyc.. EVERYONE. chicks always get free bud so get to know some women. look for those nutty chicks too. the ones that dress funny and colorful. if they don't smoke, they need to be gettin some professional help lol. hang out in some parks and shit. look for the loungers. you might even find me in one of these parks sooner or later. winter time is the best because cops aren't tryin to hang out lookin for people in the cold. they stay in their warm ass cars until called. they too damn lazy to do real patrols lol. look for college parties. wear a 420 shirt and wait for someone to comment on it. HEY NICE SHIRT. then pounce, IT'D BE NICER IF I COULD FIND SOME! lol. mannnnn you never know!
it'll take a while but you're better off takin your time and just makin friends in the process cuz friends are what you really need in the long run anyway. hang out in Washington Square Park. that's not my USUAL hang out but by far my favorite. crazy chicks, NYU right there so plenty of stoner students walking through, and there is always a party in the neighborhood.
but make sure to build up your friend network. even non smokers KNOW someone who smokes. just remember you gotta build up some trust first. we're talkin bout NYC. make sure they earn YOUR trust as well meaning don't be so eager because you may find more than what you need or want! let it come to you and it will in time.
what about your job? remember EVERYONE smokes. i'm sure, even if you were a doctor or a cop, you could find someone on the job that smokes.

I'll take my time, and hopefully I'll get a number for one of those delivery services sometime soon.
i don't really see the big deal here. only if intent to buy is a felony or something, which it isn't. probably a little cheap azz misdemeanor up there, and that's it.
desperate times come for desperate measures. you're about as safe online than walking around a popular smoke spot asking for weed. funny thing is most of these guys aren't out of weed and in need. so it's easy for them to say wait, and never find weed basically.
obviously i would do as much research with the guy on craigslist i could. it's ALL about vouchers...if you find vouchers, you're probably good. that's how i purchased weed online awhile back. vouchers.

that IS the big deal.. u don't want to even be in the system or on anyone's radar. you get in front of a judge and all that shit pops up on his computer. in fact, that shit will be on the cops computer when he runs your info. no point in taking that kind of chance. the whole point is finding shit safely and effectively. and let's be honest, at those rates, it's best you NOT find and settle on a guy that's probably going to rip you off with some BS weed anyway. the reward isn't worth the risk.
and wtf is a dealer using craigslist for? marijuana sells itself. if this dude has to use craigslist to develop clientele, i don't think he's on point with his game. keep in mind the type of person he's looking for. you might just end up getting stabbed and robbed.
and if i understand the whole voucher thing, seems like it just takes folks back to sqaure one - finding someone u can trust.
im not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE to find something online because i have that mindframe where i believe nothing is impossible. but i find it's about as possible as the 2nd coming of christ. LOL.
keep in mind, dude is new in NYC. we new yorkers can smell fresh meat a mile away LOL. that just leaves the poor guy open for anything. gotta build up that friend base first. they'll point you in the right direction.
when i first started smoking, i had decent hood connects in the projects and what not through friends. schwag was easy to find for me. that's what hood connects get you.. schwag and maybe some sort of haze. ok for me at the time, i was just starting out. but it took me about 2 years to find a QUALITY connect. even then he was FAAAAAAR away from me which made shit difficult. total, it took me 3-4 years to find a QUALITY RELIABLE connect and i've been dealing with that guy ever since.

you aren't on the radar for trying to buy a little bag. if he was to be caught, he'd get slapped with a fine and that's probably it. it's up to him. now down here in the south, you get caught, you get mandatory probation also. i wouldn't tell anyone to meet up with a craigslist dude down here. but i don't think that's the case in new york. they probably see alot more mj related offenses and are more liberal to punishment(fines). if i'm wrong, correct me, i don't feel like doing the research.
my first guess would be to charge more. the guy said he wouldn't sell anything until you smoked with him. certainly isn't the safest thing to do and i don't recommend just trying. do yer research, find out about the seller, ect.
ever noticed everyone looks to the internet for sex these days? hey, drugs too.
like i said, i've bought online several times. so you really don't know what you're talking about.
that i agree with. new yorkers are mean, rude bastards. what makes you think trolling the streets is going to be safer?
yeah, so you're telling the new guy in nyc to troll in the hood? you're definitely going to get the guy jacked, and jumped. that being said, you pose a risk when dealing with drugs, on the streets, or online. depending on how you approach and handle the situation, will be the outcome. i'm not trying to talk this guy into using craigslist, but it's an option if you plan enough.
personally, i would try to meet some guys my age online or maybe at a cool bar.

could try making some new friends through potpartner.com. Never used it myself, but the people looked quite promising for my city.
