YaHookas art of Getting Fronted

[Mercury]

This is a vital skill to have in the world of smoking mary jane. You can't very well buy weed on a credit card, now can you? And you don't always have cash on hand. That's life. However, you can always shine your puppy dog eyes and guilt your dealer into FRONTING you a sack. The amount is whatever you think you can honestly repay, obviously. You're not trying to cheat the man. Because as long as you're in good standing you will always have someone to call, otherwise your calls may not be welcome.

But I digress. The way to get fronted is to first be sure the person has weed. Once you know that you move to phase 2: asking. Asking is the most important moment when everything you say makes a world of difference to "your guy". Be sure he is in a positive mood before you ask and help that mood along if you have to. Offer him beer, cigarettes, companionship, whatever it takes. THEN you carefully drop the bomb. "Do you think you can front me?". An explosion goes off in his mind when you say this to him. You think that stuff grows on trees? (Oh wait). Anyway. He paid good money for it!!

Lastly comes the assurance. This is step 3. The last step where you lay it on thick. Tell him you're sorry. Tell him it's a little embarassing. But do tell him you *promise* to pay him back.

And you WILL pay him back!!!

What if I don't have any money to pay him back?

[Mercury]

You may offer to barter but that is a far less practiced exchange. Anything less and you're lying.

[Mull D]

What if I don't want to pay him back? F him!

[Mercury]

These are good questions. Theoretically you could execute said manuver. However, your reputation may begin to proceed you.

edit: *precede

my dealer actually checked my credit score, hes weird

[Mydriasis]

Don't ask for front's that's my honest advice. If you can't pay for it why should your dude take care of you?

[Mafoo]

one thing i learned from my catholic upbrininngnggng, besides how to spell, is that one should never lend nor borrow because it creates a divide between the lender and lendee. this division often leads to negativity, which when dealing with droogs can be really dangerous.

one of the only things ive taken from catholicism

If it's weed just go a few days without or call up some friends to smoke you out, and return the favor. It's much much easier/safer that way!

[Mercury]

Ain't nothin wrong with building a little credit between friends. If I were a dealer I would rather be owed money in the future than to have made no sale at all.

[Mydriasis]

If you were a drug dealer and you were worried about making sales then you don't have the proper connections to deal said drugs. If someone is selling drugs they need stable people so that they don't go out on whims accepting people who are informants or could turn into informants if they got popped.

However, I have encountered some people who preferred to front bulk because it's safer in a way and makes the lower level person work harder/faster to get them their end first. But if your getting fronted bulk and you fuck up who is to say what could happen to you.
