i don't know what you can do about it, but what you can do is what Disgorge said and have them weigh in front of you. If they are scaming you don't give them business.

Get a better dealer.. :/ I have the same problem sometimes. Telling your friends too helps, maybe the dealer might open his eyes or somethin'.

You know I been smoking for quite some time now (as now I'm an old lady) and I know completely what you mean. To me its says a lot about someone caracter when they are willing to steal out of there costumers bag! It didn't use to be like that thow!! It use to be always like.....you buy a bag and the customer would just smoke you up when you brought it to the house and not just for bring it and bring it full, but it meant that you where on the level if you would sit down and smoke a fatty!!! lol Now thats how you get repeat buisness! lol

That has only happened to me when I have asked someone to pick up a bag for me. And it's only happened a couple times, obviously because the dude I asked to pick up for me was taking a little for himself. So I don't talk to that dude anymore. If I go to the dealer myself, I never get shorted. The dude I used to go to would actually throw a little extra in for me and then smoke me out before I left because I'm a chick, I have two legs and my heart's beating. But on the other hand, people always used to ask me "why are you buying your own dope, don't you have a boyfriend?" Bleh.

But anyway, if you don't want to get ripped off, invest in some digital scales. Or befriend someone who can snag some for you for free. You can get a small one that fits in your pocket.

When I was buying from some kinda shady people, I'd pull out a scale and weigh the bags.

More recently, my last dealer was a friend of a friend, and after a while, I got to know he was decent about this kinda stuff... So I didn't bother anymore.

Now that I'm looking for a new source, I'll probably have to start weighing again to make sure people don't rip me off. x.x

that is just reality. In this kind of business i can tell you first hand any dealer wants as much money as possible. This is the most capitalistic style of business out there. I found if i grabbed in much LARGER amounts the people were a lot more honest because they realize that if everything stays good then the customer will keep coming back. A lot of small time dealers don't understand this rule and usually ******** them over cause they will short one person and that person tells others. I won't grab from someone unless i know them well enough. Drugs can make people very shady and sketchy and nobody wants to get chated out.

I think the main thing people forget is that when you buy you want to smoke and most of the times ill go ahead and smoke with whomever I get it thur. it just burns my butt when you buy from someone for like years and then they start the short change bull. I go to people I can rely on if they are out then Im out until next time

unfortinately this was through a string of my friends not just one guys which is beyond cool when other people get involved its only trouble or they expect a smoke out or something. in the end it just is a pain

Thats why I grow my own. I just bought an 1/8 of white widow using my friend's scales and saved the seeds to grow my own.

Ugh, I had a "friend" do that to me before as well. And not only would he take some, he'd have the nerve to ask me to pay him gas money on top of that.

Now I just get it through another friend, and we smoke together--so no worries. mrgreen

White widow.. is that stuff white all the way through? Or is it white on the outside black on the inside?

Either way that stuff is ******** godly.

ohhh man i absolutely hate that, why do deals like that? if your a good decent dealer and treat your customers well, then you will usually have repeat customers unless what your sellling is s**t, then you dont have to even try to go around selling it, loyal customers come to you.
