Just that really. I’m against drugs of any kind and wouldn’t have any idea how to get hold of any even if I wanted to. I wouldn’t have a clue who to contact and didn’t think I knew anyone else who’d have such contacts either.

Came up in conversation with DH last night whilst watching a programme about drug trafficking that he knows a number of people in the area who are able to get hold of such things (cocaine, MDMA etc) and even deliver to our door! I’m shocked. DH says that most people have the contacts to get hold of drugs if they really wanted to, which I’m not sure I believe. Am I really this naive?!

I don't take drugs so wouldn't but I know who to reach out to if I wanted some. like a pp said I'd get it delivered to the door quicker than a takeaway.

Illegal drugs? Easy.
Prescription or GP appointment? Much more difficult.

ProfessorSlocombe · 05/05/2020 15:54

I can't find yeast anywhere; I know this is a horrible time and a serious subject but tbh it tickles me that it is currently easier to get hold of weed than yeast

Proof (if it were needed) that the availability or otherwise of anything has nothing to do with their legality or otherwise.

ForeverBubblegum · 05/05/2020 15:58

Yep, would probably take a few calls, (eg dealer of a friend of a friend), but could certainly get anything if I wanted to.

bananafish · 05/05/2020 16:03

Yes, of course; easily. Huge city, drugs are everywhere, if you want them 🤷🏽‍♀️

YouJustDoYou · 05/05/2020 16:05

Absolutely no idea how.

AdriannaP · 05/05/2020 16:06

Yes you are naive. You can buy it on websites with reviews like amazon!

Ugzbugz · 05/05/2020 16:06

Easily this afternoon if I wanted.

You probably don't realise but someone you know or work with will have a number they could pass on.

YouJustDoYou · 05/05/2020 16:08

@AdriannaP, seriously? What websites?

BakewellGin1 · 05/05/2020 16:08

Definately... I have no interest but I know there are a few dealers around here and I'm sure if I asked the right people they could put me in contact.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 05/05/2020 16:09

Hmm I’d have to ask around a bit actually
Weed easy ish
Class A

I’d probably go in the dark net to be honest
Though don’t know how to do that but presumably Reddit will have an explanation !!

emmathedilemma · 05/05/2020 16:09

I wouldn't have a clue either.

bengalcat · 05/05/2020 16:09

Don’t do it myself but I doubt locals are having difficulty as walking the dog in the park early evening it stinks of weed and also in our small garden I can smell it - not sure if it’s the large family next door or upstairs flat so in answer to your q I’d say no people are not finding it difficult to access drugs .

Maybelatte · 05/05/2020 16:10

Not a clue. I’ve met drug users and drug dealers in the past but years ago, there’s no way I’d ever approach any of them to seek out drugs Grin. I wouldn’t have a clue where to get drugs locally at all and I’ve never bought drugs so I’m as naive as you.

There is a very funny bit in afterlife where Ricky Gervais interview a woman who makes
Milk from her breast and bread using her vaginal yeast !!!! EnvyEnvyEnvy

FizzyGreenWater · 05/05/2020 16:13

actually just seen a car full of romanian spice dealers get pulled apart by police.

Ach I think we must live on the same road! Just saw it too. Bloody disaster, turmeric everywhere, road looks like an accident in a sunshine factory.

notacooldad · 05/05/2020 16:17

I would know friends of friends who could be approached.
Inspired by this thread I asked my (20 year old ) don with a serious face if he knew anyone I could get done Molly from.
He was totally aghast and said something along the lines of ' for fucks sake dont be so ridiculous!! Are you daft! And anyway how would I know'

I dont know how I kept my poker face!
😂😂😂😂

@fizzy Grin

Zisforstripyoss · 05/05/2020 16:22

I haven't done drugs for 20ish years and I've moved areas since. I don't know who the local drug dealers are, but I can think of ways that I could find out or people I could ask, should the fancy take me!

user1487194234 · 05/05/2020 16:25

Yes,definitely
Don't partake but know a few people who do,mainly from my misspent youth

PineappleDanish · 05/05/2020 16:25

Wouldn't have a clue. Don't have friends who take drugs, I don;t live in a "drug deal happening on every corner" type of area. Maybe because 5 people in our street are in the police.

I suppose I could go to Govan or hang around Maryhill Road looking hopeful. But I'd probably just be mugged.

yelyah22 · 05/05/2020 16:27

I could probably get something within the hour, depends what though. Coke or weed, very easily.

I've seen on Twitter some enterprising young souls buying Deliveroo/Ubereats bags and just cycling everywhere to make their drop offs. Surprised the food companies haven't stamped that out!

squeekums · 05/05/2020 16:32

Yep, pretty easy really.

lazylinguist · 05/05/2020 16:36

I assume so if I wanted to - I'm not naïve and am well aware there will be dealers around. But I don't actually know of anyone I could get drugs from. I've no interest in recreational drugs snd have never taken any.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 05/05/2020 16:40

Yes - I wouldn't trust the dealers living near me (I wouldn't want to be involved with them) but I could make a few phone calls and get whatever I wanted.
