What might this mean?

I saw the following text msg on my dd's (14yo) phone today. It was on the notifications, which appear overnight when I have her phone. From someone called 'yo'

Banging stardog point 9s droping

Anyone know what it might mean? I'm presuming drug related but not sure??

Yo will have a cheap, untraceable "burner" phone. The gs stands for good shit.

pasanda · 12/10/2018 14:30

I am planning to go out for the day with her on Sunday and will broach it then.

I know she has dabbled with weed, I found some in her room in June. I've seen a text from Yo before. At this time I had heard that a friend of hers was dealing so called 101 to give them his name. At this time I also gave them Yo's number because I had access to her phone. I've since lost the URN and would like to know if they can recall it. I would also like to know if they would actually do anything with the number of a supposed drug dealer. Could they trace him?

I'm kicking myself for not writing the number down at that time. I've tried to call 101 today but they never answer.

It's all a bit of a mess

"Gorilla biscuit" is another flavour of cannabis. Seems like her boy Yo is quite the hipster dealer. www.leafly.com/indica/gorilla-biscuit

SerenDippyEggs · 11/10/2018 23:48

Gorilla biscuit is a verryyyy strong strain of weed - not ashamed to say I've tried it for medical purposes when I was in Amsterdam to see if it helped, and it did. You say she has a history of self harm - may she have dabbled about to try to help with anxiety or anything? If that's the case, she needs to understand that it can ruin people, especially at her age. Hope the conversation goes well for you OP but if I were you I'd delete this number and block it from her phone, or at least ask her to do this.

I remember in school at age 15 or so people saving dealers numbers in their phone just to look cool and show off - we didn't even smoke let alone smoke on Gorilla Biscuit and the likes god knows what we were thinking but I hope it's just something like this

Q

SpoonBlender · 11/10/2018 23:40

Have you considered the possibility that she's a Russian sleeper agent, waiting for her particular code phrase before she'll activate? It's definitely a risk.

Paperdolly · 11/10/2018 18:29

You have a duty of care to have that difficult conversation and not back away. You may be saving her life.

pasanda · 11/10/2018 10:04

I didn't mention it. She was in such a good mood. (History of self harm and a very complex character!) means I have to chose my moments carefully.

I did however see the following on her notifications this morning-

Banging gorilla biscuit fat gs droping fire

Any ideas? Obviously a similar thing.

I am however heartened that neither text has actually been opened by her, so although she is clearly involved in some way (seeing as the number is stored in her contacts) she's not acting on it. Maybe they are blanket texts to all contacts after all.

Novasglow · 10/10/2018 21:55

It might be a message sent to many concerning weed. Doesn't necessarily mean she's involved in that circle, it could just be that she's a recipient of a stupid message. When I was a teenager I hung around with a bad crowd, I received messages in the same vein. But I never got involved. Definitely needs a conversation, trust your instincts.

pasanda · 10/10/2018 21:51

Thank you!

Just read yr thread. Good luck OP x

pasanda · 10/10/2018 21:41

Thanks paper. I'm just waiting to pick her up from a last minute school trip. Feeling incredibly nervous as I know if I broach it, it will be shit. I am going to see what mood she's in!

I wish I could hug her. Atm, if I do much as touch a hair in her head she flinches and tells me to get off!

OP posts:

Paperdolly · 10/10/2018 18:31

Keep the communication and the hugs there as much as she'll let you. 💐

pasanda · 09/10/2018 19:33

Thanks everyone. Serious and chat is in order I think.

I just missed a call from her so phoned back and she's not at her club and has not been to friends house between school and club. So just hanging round for 3/4 hours. Doing god knows what!

Bloody teenagers!!

Stardog is weed and point 9s is weight n dropping means thy will drop it to you

SummerStrong · 09/10/2018 18:53

@senua the sender was saved as a contact on the phone.

@portiacastis "Snorting lines and banging nines"

The "banging nines" part is "screwing ladies who score 9/10 on the attractiveness scale". It's not related to "point 9s" which is .9 of a gram aka one 32nd of an ounce, a real cheapskate's unit of cannabis - and not coincidentally verty suitable for a 14 year old's spare cash.

...I hang out with students, okay? Haven't touched a drop myself in 20 years!

senua · 09/10/2018 17:33

I got a call on my mobile the other day asking about that car accident I had that wasn't my fault.
I haven't had an accident for over 20 years.

Just because someone is contacting her, it doesn't necessarily mean that she knows them. Don't go in all guns blazing. Have a gentle start to the conversation.

WeeBeasties · 09/10/2018 17:23

Just asked my similar aged family member and she says there are two possible meanings.

First, as said above, weed is available for purchase.

Second, it could be a response to a question like 'how are you doing?', and the person is banging because the weed they are smoking has dropped (ie hit them and they are feeling the effects.

I'd say you need to look at the preceeding texts.

Atalune · 09/10/2018 17:16

Do not, and I mean do not let this slip under the radAr. Drug dealing and rural communities are getting involved in some atroucious and very violent crime.

Google, county lines. It’s not joke. 4 people wearing stabbed in Somerset 2 weeks ago.

pasanda · 09/10/2018 17:14

I don't have the number tho. Just the notification of the text.

Do you think if I could find out the number, the police could trace who it belongs to?

Might be worth showing the police so they can trace the sender?

pasanda · 09/10/2018 17:12

Seven - what do you mean, doing it for a job?

OP posts:

pasanda · 09/10/2018 17:11

She has to get the bus straight home from school usually (we live rurally) but on a Tuesday she has a club at 6.30pm in the small town where her school is. So she as 3 hours to just hang around. She says she goes to a friends house but I can't be sure.

She goes to her dads after this club so I'll talk to her tmrw after school.
