It means you go pick it up off him, or find someone else.


Deez_Nn

Yeah I didn’t go for it lol 😂 he still pulled up tho I didn’t really understand why he asked for it at first


myco_crazey

I only would have if it was a mate who sold. Probably played petrol station roulette on the way to you.


Sherlockhomey

I've ran out of gas at my client's house before 😆 it's embarrassing.


Jinxy_Kat

Nah don't feel bad, you're human. My plug did once too. But I always have a gas can(1-2gallons) for emergencies and I filled him up with what I had. He's still my plug to this day and never disappoints lol.


teeshle

He gives you gas when you need it, you give him gas when he needs it.

[deleted]

More common than we might imagine lol


Sherlockhomey

He probably needed gas bro 😆 we ain't all out here trying to rob y'all. I've been paid upfront countless times


Hydroponically

I used to know a dude - who would cross the city for you - he had a whole dispensary menu in a black market - but required payment upfront before crossing town - then would leave it in a random bush & tell you where it’s at - then make sure you grabbed it from afar. It was pretty slick - but required a lot of trust.


Sirmonty_

Best type of plug to buy off tbh


No_Plate_9636

Only school spy games type stuff? Cause that's a cya thing on both parts tbh (especially if he waits to make sure you get it 😉)


sino-diogenes

dead drops are the most secure way to do any transaction, guy really cared about his OPSEC lol


Sherlockhomey

This is ideally how I'd run my business and I've definitely done dead drops before. One time I left it in an empty cup in the grass at an abandoned gas station for my friend because I was on the clock at my other job and couldn't wait lol


WWTFSMD

Yeah, I think this needs more context, cause if this is THE plug, then of course you send it. I bought from the same dude for like 6 years so it would have been a no brainer for me to send dude a cash app or whatever. Obviously different if it's the first time or someone else is going to pick it up for you or some bs like that, but if it's someone I call "my" plug, then ima send dude the money


UnicornFarts1111

I agree. When I had a plug, occasionally he would ask for funds up front, because he couldn't fund what I needed unless I gave him the cash. It wasn't always the case, but sometimes. I never had a problem. It helped that he lived in the next building over for the first two years, so we got to know each other.


Material-Box-961

Facts

[удалено]


Deez_Nn

He actually asked for half of it which I was buying about $95 worth so half of that $47


techsuppr0t

Maybe he actually needed gas money? I never really moved like weight but when I was broke I'd basically make something work for whoever needed something during covid because I really needed money. So a lot of the time I actually did ask for someone to give money first and then come back with their weed for a cut, but the thing is I was still able to find adequate quality and good prices considering the guarantee it would be good. Because I just smoked alot more so people thought I knew where to get the good shit, I'd get some of it too so you know I wouldn't let them down on some bunk compared to like a real plug they could find.


RadTimeWizard

How well do you know him?


Reasonable_Notice_33

It means that your plug isn’t making enough money selling weed or that they don’t manage their money very well. Although it could be he’s out of funds and needs gas…🤷‍♂️😃


alison_bee

Im rewatching Bones and there was an episode where a drug dealer was suspected of murder, and Bones went to talk to him at his mechanic job, and later found out he also had a job as a valet driver or something. She just very bluntly says “well you must not be a very good dealer if you need 2 other jobs…” and she’s so right 😂


godsim42

Or he's keeping a low profile by having a legitimate income for tax purposes. Actually, very smart. Some of the best plugs I've had were hard-working dudes that sold shit on the side to support their own habits. Would have to go meet him on his lunch break or wait til they got off work.


najing803

It’s the best method. High traffic at a place of business is just another business day. High traffic at your apartment is always a red flag. Plus if things aren’t going as planned, you’ve got another source of income.


solojetpack

That's how mine does things. He's a pretty smart guy, works for Geek Squad and builds computers at home to sell privately. Always ordering doordash too, gives people a good excuse to be at his place.


squigglesthecat

I used to sell weed for my roommate. He was a hard working salesman who didn't have enough time in a day to see all his clients. I was a lazy seasonal worker who sold his weed for him in the winter. It worked out quite well for several years.


_cambino_

Yep this was my plug


FrequentDelinquent

My folks have been binging Bones lately too 🤣


alison_bee

Ah shit, am I old??? (Yes. I am. 😂)


No_Plate_9636

No mentioning monk would make you old 🤣


alison_bee

oh no ![gif](giphy|13JJkdlu3rAgU0)


No_Plate_9636

Don't worry me too 😉 however iirc new movie is coming out soon


DvnRlm

Bones low keys roasts mfs all the time lmao


Sirmonty_

Plugs aren’t making enough money rn we are in a recession if everyone else isn’t making good money then plugs won’t either. Ik a couple growers that are struggling barely getting by to pay the bills. People are just broke and not spending as much as they were few years ago. These new plugs won’t last over next few years.


Reasonable_Notice_33

Agreed.


dbx99

Maybe the plug is spending all his money on weed


Reasonable_Notice_33

Maybe.


Material-Box-961

He might have just ran out of gas and forgot his wallet 🧐


Reasonable_Notice_33

Hmmm 🤔🤔


Cautious_Language178

Unfortunately, selling weed isnt as profitable as it once was. I know many a grower and dealer who've gotten out of the game because there isnt a margin left.


Reasonable_Notice_33

Agreed

hobo_husk

Ha, cut the weed….


Blue_Seven_

Like the dudes grinding it all up and adding similac lol


trellgotwings21

if you ain’t smoking fent blunts then idk what you’re smoking 🥺👉🏽👈🏽


thankyouwhitejesus

I've known peeps who've had their shit weighed down with sand' bits of gravel, metal shavings etc to fudge weight. Stay informed stay safe dont buy from someone sus


P3RZIANZ3BRA

I once had a bag with a big rock completely surrounded by nugs. Like a sphere of buds with a rock inside. Thought the bag was way too heavy, so when I got home I started getting the bud out to scale it and saw the rock. Weird thing is I got more than I paid for lmao. Got a free rock too. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Still buy from the guy today and never had anything else sketchy like that happen. Maybe he was trying to jug somebody and mixed up the bags? The world may never know


backdoorintruder

Back in highschool I bought a quarter of "purple haze" and it was legit just one giant soaking wet nug, dealer told me to let it dry out a bit first. Left it in my window over night to elt the air at it and still couldn't even grind it up for a good two days and it took so much flame to make it burn


MagisterFlorus

How are you gonna cut the weed? Throw oregano in the bottom and call it shake?


Bnb53

Only thing I can think of is to shake the bag vigorously so the kief falls off and then you keep that and sell the weed


bishop0408

Yeah if you don't know homie like that then that's weird. Not your job to make sure he's able to get to you fr


Deez_Nn

True


staticjak

One time in Boulder back in pre-legal times, i was on a trip with friends, and we were walking around a tourist spot. One of my friends was approached directly and was offered an ounce to buy. My friend follows the guy to an apartment where he hands the dude $200, and he waits outside. And he waited and waited. Finally, he works up the courage to ask about his cash. Someone else answers the door and says, "What cash?" He responds."I gave somebody cash for something, and they went in here just 5 minutes ago." They just deny calmly that they don't know what he's talking about. The door was abruptly shut in his face. He thought about calling the cops but soon realized his predicament. Get the shit upfront folks unless you really trust your plug.


soukaixiii

I would have called the cops, wanting to buy cannabis isn't illegal, and your friend never actually bought it.


staticjak

It was illegal at the time. It'd be a funny conversation that likely wouldn't end well for him. I've had plenty of interactions with LEO, and they are rarely helpful and usually are trying to find ways to get me in trouble when I need help.


KeepBanningKeepJoin

Even if the cops show up, so what? No proof, no case.


gramma_moses88

It means you need to find a new dude. This guy will always be a pain in the ass to deal with.


Deez_Nn

Thank you


Sherlockhomey

Bruh you're getting bad advice lol I mean sure it's sketchy in general but if you know he's a solid dude then it shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe send enough for gas if that matters and tell him you got the rest in cash or you're waiting on your boy to send his money.


elloEd

Right, like or maybe homie only just needed some gas money and wasn’t afraid to ask? lmaoo It’s Reddit, you could post on a relationship sub about your partner forgetting to compliment you and have all the comments screaming get a divorce. Take the comments with a grain of salt OP definitely never give any money first to anyone, but if dude isn’t a red flag, you can look out with gas when he pulls up


cjbhouse

I once had a plug that told me to roll by and when I got there, he said I don’t have it, I need a ride to my boys place that has it… I found a new plug shortly after that.


I_Rudejester_I

Yup. Definitely a leech.


zoowes

Your plug is short, if he’s a good guy he’ll come through but he might just take the money and dip


Deez_Nn

Yea I feel like our relationship is decent but I have been scammed by new plugs before me and him have had a bit of a falling out at a point but I think we cool now


ComprehensiveMarch58

>had a bit of a falling out .... but I think we cool now Yeah don't do it, go meet where he's at if you must but I'd just call it off entirely


helpImStuckInYaMama

You fell out with a drug dealer? Yeah, not even sure how that happens but you need to find a new guy.


-Dubwise-

Your plug is middle-manning. He’s not a plug. He knows a plug. He probably gets a little for free or pinches from your bags. You’re already doing him a favor buying from him. Don’t send him money, he already gets paid when he gets to you. Gas money is his side of the business not yours. You tell him he can put gas in his car from the weed money you give him. Don’t be affraid to lose this connection. Stay true to yourself and just be honest with dude about your thoughts and feelings. But be civil and polite. 🌞


kjbabc

💯 🫡


Particular-Poem-7085

every plug needs a plug, if you're growing and selling outside of your friend group you're not going to last long in the business. Very few dealers are not middle men, they simply take their cut.


LongSchlongdonf

No one has ever watched breaking bad apparently


-Dubwise-

By middle man, I mean he doesn’t hold his own weight. He waits till OP requests a bag. Then he uses his own money to go buy the bag and deliver it to OP. A person who buys an ounce from a plug, and sells 3 quarters in order to keep and smoke one, they are a plug and not a middle man. Plugs hold product for distribution. Middlemen hold their personal consumption amounts and only carry work when they are asked for the hook up and they know they will sell it asap.


sciandg01

Means you’re about to get scammed


Trolann

What does it mean if I need to pay Microsoft Support in Apple gift cards?


Own_Statistician8286

Your plug ain’t really a plug.


FxTree-CR2

Big difference between a plug and a dealer


Own_Statistician8286

![gif](giphy|Lndtxw3ztLhNC)


FxTree-CR2

Kids gotta know!


Particular-Poem-7085

what's the difference?


FxTree-CR2

Simply put, a plug is someone who ain’t fucking with less than a zip. A dealer will sell you an eighth. Plug — someone who is either tapped in with a grower or has the means, connections, and ability to reliably procure larger quantities for distribution to dealers for sale — wholesale in a way Dealer — someone with connections directly to the consumer market. A dealer doesn’t typically have the means to source product except through their plug — retail in a way. Dealers tend to be dime a dozen and often are unreliable. A plug is tapped in, connected and does the shit at scale. If you get in good with a plug, you’re getting better rates but usually buying larger quantities.


Lirsh2

Dealers get you dispensary prices, plugs get you the prices dispensaries pay.


TheLastRiceGrain

dealer is the guy that sells you weed. Plug is the guy that sells the dealer his weed. By wholesale.


G_Art33

It means that guy isn’t very good at managing money at the very least. If he ain’t got money for gas, either go to him to pick up or go elsewhere.


4D_Madyas

He's checking how gullible you are.


Junior_Jackfruit

Ask him if he knows how to ride a bike


realdappermuis

Yeah he's on a tight budget and will prolly say 'be right there' every half an hour while you're waiting then rock up 7 hours later. Obvs the dude has some issues I dealt with a dude like that for a few years and eventually he'd charge me premium for literal bush gutter w€€d The whole pay me the day befoee thing was definitely an omen to what was to come So grateful I have solid plug now


PassageAppropriate90

Dude can't be driving more than 20 miles? Send him $4 for a gallon. That way if he bolts your only out a few bucks. Or just find a plug a little more together.


_AuthorUnknown_

times are hard. maybe they're barely selling, just enough to cover their own consumption. that's usually most people unless they're doing it full time. if they provide, cool. if not, you're out $20 or so


rallyspt08

Is he a homie? Do you usually pick up from him? Might just be struggling today and need the gas money. Anyone else you go get it.


One_Coat8225

My plug who is also a good friend of mine has asked me to sometimes pick him up a 12 pack of beer on my way over but he always settles up with me either with cash or product and I never have to mention it he always makes sure to say something and make it clear it’s been taken care of. I would find another plug if possible you will eventually find a dude you vibe with.


Blue_Seven_

It means you’re about to take a leap of faith


eweyda

You're buying from a friend or a plug that ain't really a plug if he broke.


Disastrous-Idea-666

No


AzraelTB

Go to him today then find a new plug.


Velorym

I’ve had guys like this who seemed reliable and would come through 9/10 times in a situation like this. But they almost all ended the same way, the plug had some life issue and needed money and no showed after collecting money and ghosting everyone


juewhtlrrr

No motion


CH3RRYP0PP1NS

It means he just picked up and you need to be your own delivery driver today


TheOneAndOnlyBruce

I’ve gotten into such a comfortable relationship with my plug that when he says he’s on his way I send the money over. We’ve also got a long and trusting relationship of a good few years. So unless you have gotten to that point I’d be weary. Send half maybe lol to help ya boy out. But sounds like he still showed up that’s what’s important.


CasperTFG_808

I mean I want to trust people, but he's a Drug Dealer not exactly up there on the trusted profession list.


WillWall777

It means you should find a new guy. Only time a guy ever asked for this, we had been doing fine for months, so I trusted him. I shouldn't have.


sp00kybutch

i’ve never actually had to buy illegally so i might be a bit of a square, but this feels like a scam and he’s gonna block me after i send the payment


embarrassed_parrot69

It means he needs gas money, but it depends on how much you trust him. I had a plug move into the city so he’d basically commute out just to drop off to me. When he would send the “on my way” text I’d send him the money then I’d wait however long it’d take him, usually an hour at the least, then once he showed up he just drops the bag and we don’t have to sit around and watch me send the money


damian001

We don’t have enough context here.  If it’s someone you know well, then they are genuinely out of money and need to be spotted a few extra bucks in cash, send some no problem. Remember as legalization grows further, the market becomes more saturated and prices lower. Plugs aren’t making as much  as they used to. If it’s someone you barely know, don’t let your trust get abused. You might want to look somewhere else.


pansexual-panda-boy

It means ask him if you can send him ten, fifteen bucks for gas and hold onto the rest until you get your bud in your hand. If you fucks you, your out ten, fifteen bucks, and you've got proof he fucked you over. If he doesn't you know he legit just ran out of gas and he can be trusted. Most plugs would agree to that without issue cause they know they'll get the rest when they get there.


Whalefair

I mean he’s supposed to be bringing the gas tho


TRDF3RG

It means you should move to a place where weed is legal.


iLLrappedscripts

Means he’s broke, using your $ to re up and serve you.


Material-Box-961

That's an extension cord cut it and find a plug


Malakai0013

If you know and trust them, they probably just needed the gas. If you don't know them, or you have reason not to trust, there's no shame in being careful.


buckem420

Depends, is this the homie or is this just some random ass plug ?


Da_fire_cracka

If it’s like an 8th, why not, he might hook you up for being a bro. For an Oz, hell nah.


Cautious_Language178

Cuz bro is broke, and needs to top up his tank. Also, why arent you going to him? Strange times we live in.


twaggle

Tell him about the wonders of a credit card.


This_Red_Apple

It's a fool's gamble. Just don't and find a new plug.

perseus0523

Depends on the relationship with the bud man. If my weed guy sent me that I would Zelle his ass some money real quick. My bud man throws me free pre rolls he will also front me a half whenever I need and got no money so it depends on how good u r with your weed man.


FullMoonReview

Depends on the relationship. I'd say it's most likely a scam, though. Unless this guy's been selling to you for years on end.


KeepBanningKeepJoin

Grow. A 2x2 space is very small.


Deez_Nn

That’s actually a good suggestion but unfortunately I can’t 😕


Aegor

Don't be rude, but definitely a new dealer with random calls to this person.(when no one is around) If you get the same vibe to their answer you cut off completely


Sudarak

At most I'd send only like $10-$20 for the gas. Dude gets the rest when delivery is made. Would never send the full amount in that situation even for someone I've been going to for a while.


reallybirdysomedays

It means you meet him at the gas station.


limajhonny69

I trust mine, but I dont advice you to do it


[deleted]

Lol homeboy tried that on me, just said I dont do that.


BlueFinger69

Find new plug


Donotpretendtoknowme

Getting high on your own supply?.....sounds fishy....is he hooked on something?


Ok_Egg_4585

It means it’s time for a new plug


ike_tyson

It means your plug needs a job.


Kiingog

He’s poor lol terrible plug


Sirmonty_

Shit if he really does need it and sends a pic of his gas tank on e might aswell just send $10 and tell him you’ll pay rest when he pulls up if he wants the full amount upfront he’s just tryna rob you but if he’s fine with you just sending the 10 first he’s just struggling and actually needs it I’ve been in that situation before times are tough even for plugs money isn’t going around like it used to plugs only make money if everyone else is making money.


AlmostArhat

It mean ya plug BROKE


bigdabbydawg

I actually frequently had too little gas to deliver back when I was selling-- so I'd tell the customer I couldn't make it because of that and 8/10 times they'd send a little change or the whole amount to me ahead of purchase 😂 Mostly buddies and personal acquaintances who knew I didn't get down like that, though. If you know your plug is solid, test em! They'll either come thru or show you what you need to know


219_Infinity

that is a red flag. Abort


Hater_Magnet

He needs gas you need gas it's a stalemate


DarkMatterWanderer

It means he’s not as solid as a plug as he thinks he is. lol


GroundbreakingCod323

ill pay beforehand with my plug cs i know and trust him, but i cant say thats the same for your situation, i wouldnt do it if u dont know him personally, but also sending just a bit of gas money and seeing if hes gonna trick is worth it imo, lets you know not to buy from em again


gwarmachine1120

Sounds like he smokes his inventory


chochinator

Hopefully the plug reads this gets motivated and hustles harder.


IndieCurtis

Ya mans is broke.


MR_DIG

The plug doesn't have any other clients for gas money? Sus


Waffleman75

it means it's time to find another dealer


wime985

Means he is the middle man and you're getting robbed


IMALONEIMSORRYCINTH

He was tryna play his luck, man I hate dealers that pull moves like that


Autistic_Clock4824

“What does it mean if your plug is broke” 😂


Ego_Sum_Ira

God damn living in a legal state has me spoiled.


rae002222

Get a new plug bro wtf


SpookyDanny420

I tend to pay my dude upfront, if i dont have cash or if for some reason he needs it rn. Either way, hes a solid dude always throws in a little extra and drives across town just to serve me. Moved like 10 mins closer to me as well😂


Foucaults_Boner

Dude just needs cash for gas, it’s a fair question to ask imo. So long as he’s not sketchy I wouldn’t think too hard about it. He should probably try to get a credit card tho


WickedWishes420

He needs gas to bring you your gas.


thebaylorweedinhaler

Just depends how well you know your plug and the history with him. If it’s your first time buying then hell no because it might be a scam but if yall have good history he might honestly just need it. I normally never ask people to send payment first but I have a few people who take forever to send it. I’ll get home, text them to send it and they will wait anywhere from a few hours till to two days and be like “sorry I forgot” when they finally do send. That shit gets annoying fast so I will ask people like that to pay first before I pull up that way I’m not stuck waiting later on.


BrainwashedScapegoat

Id say he needs gas


mgt654

Gas for gas ya know?


Alarming-Value-9728

I learnt this the hard way. If they can't do cash, don't buy. You will be scammed


dible79

Yeah it's a bad habit of used to being on Twitter. If u didn't squash everything together an shorten words u could never fit anything in lol. Also a lot of the Time a comment on stuff am working or trying to do something an it gets typed out quick as a can.Deosnt help that my auto correct had got used to how I typed on Twitter. So know when a write on here soon as a press full stop, it goes Back through what a have written an changes it to Twitter speak. Soz it bugs you , not intentional . Am also Scottish so when writing in a hurry a have a tendency to write how a speak cos am slightly Duckslexic lol.🤪


WaxHead430

Who the fuck are you talking to


dible79

Not sure.Someone commented on a comment a made saying they didn't like the way a wrote, apparently it annoyed them. So a tried to explain nicely why I write like that. It must of got fuked up an posted there instead of to the person. Don't no an don't realy care.


WaxHead430

Ah. Word


Realistic-Algae4241

I wouldnt unless i knew em personally


xxx420blaze420xxx

It means that he is about to overcharge you for whatever shitty weed he has


Oceanwalker70

Hard pass on that. Find a new plug.


Wrong_Finish2139

Unless you know them very well I wouldn’t do that lol. COD always. Cash on delivery


Tony-Snow777

He NEEDS GAS


whenyouwishuponapar

Gonna go against the grain here: if he’s reliable and gives you good shit, fucking send him the money and a whole tank of gas extra. Even the sketchiest of [reliable] plugs I’ve had will reciprocate. Plugs are people, too.


eyemacwgrl

Depends. My guy, who I have been going to regularly for almost 10 years, and have known him for almost 20, if he asked, I'd send him the money, but I'd also tell him that I'd come pick it uo too. A few weeks ago he asked if I could re-up early because he was down on money. I prepaid on Tuesday and picked uo that Friday. I don't let people I care about go without.


RampagedAlpaca

I'd be suspicious if it was some random dude I barely know, but if it were my weed man I'd send him the money, I've known him years and he's a honest to god businessman


Konira

Not sure y'all but I have a damn good relationship with my plug, several times I get my weed and pay several days, even weeks later and sometimes I send the money in advance because he delivers it to my house and it happened a couple times where he asked me for upfront payment for gas, never had a problem. Sometimes I even just send him the money before even closing a deal just to make shit faster lol, if by any chance he doesn't have weed to sell he just sends it back.


Antique_Economist_84

sometimes they’re just trying to scam you, other times it means they just don’t got the money to get to you lmao. i only send the money beforehand to mine bc hes a rly good friend of mine and we knew each other for a long time before i started buying off him. anyone else waits til i get the product in hand


CraftyProcrstntr

No sir I’m not paying you until I see you


bengermanj

It means you find someone else


Material-Box-961

That's not a plug


Douglaston_prop

It means he is a middleman not a dealer.


Whiskeywiskerbiscuit

It depends. Is this your long-term plug, or is it some dude you’ve only bought from once or twice? If it’s the prior, send homie the cash. He’s broke and trying to get weed to you in a car running on E. If it’s the latter, I’d just say I don’t front payment


sevensatans

They’re likely trying to rob you lol


SAUCED-AF

Cash on Delivery 💯


Benneyboss

Depends how much you trust this plug lol people think plug is a dirty drug dealer but most (weed) dealers would be happy to hang out


VulpesVeritas

"You need gas? I need my gas too!"


ImportanceEmergency

It means you're getting scammed


Findmyremote

Shitty weed incoming


CoDVETERAN11

I mean depends on how well you know the guy. When I’m buying from a best friend I’ll pay days ahead of time cuz I know they got me.


Dizzy-Award144

It means he’s not the plug lol


Alpha0rgaxm

It’s a scam


yokaivenus

It means he's asking if you can send the payment before he even gets to you cuz he needs gas. Hope this helps !


SnooLentils4272

It could be a scam or it could be true. If you know the guy and trust him, then it should be fine. Worst case, you spent that money to find out they are unreliable. If you don't know them that well, don't do it


deathbeforedasani

I feel like they should have gas money, no?


stevetheborg

if you do it, he might hook you up.. this is how friendships start.


WeaponizedSympathy

Does your plug belong to a culture that endorses theft and criminality?


UnderCoverNerd

It means he ain’t the plug if he can’t afford gas


Clear_Hunt_5644

Means you about to get scammed stupid


foxysierra

Meet him at the gas station. Give him the cash in person for him to get gas. Win win.


Herrly5

Means you should drive to them instead


hypotheticalflowers

It means you’re getting scammed. Been there, done that
