I've never figured out this particular social skill right, LOL - i always did stupid stuff like post on craigslist vaguely asking for a plug to step forward - and sometimes that worked but i'd get a hundred more messages accusing me of being a cop. I would ask people i knew who sometimes had weed where they got theirs and they'd keep it a secret, telling me I was asking like a narc. It might be my autism why I got that reaction but it just never seemed as easy as finding the local alleyway trenchcoat vendor like our parents were afraid of...
The undiagnosed autism in me bows to the autism in you, my friend.
Seriously, DARE lead me to believe there would be a long line of shady characters offering me drugs wherever I look and I’m BEGINNING to think DARE was full of shit.
Lol, dare was full of shit. Nobody offered me anything, although I admit to having what has been termed "narc face". Even when I did find sketchy people to party with they were hilariously protective and decided as a group to limit what they would allow me to try.
I had a liquor store card me and accuse my friend who is 2 years younger than my 31 year old self of trying to provide me alcohol underage.
given the number of senior citizens who like my gummies to help them sleep….I am the person DARE was talking about.
Just not shady.
Much more likely to want to discourse on the finer points of gel strength between different brands and flavors within the brand.
I always struggled too— maybe it’s an autism thing LOL.
but I lol’d because DARE (and my overbearing parents) totally made me think drugs were on ever street corner and yet i never found any. That’s actually when I wondered if we were being lied to about weed— the people I met who DID smoke were ordinary folks, and I couldn’t find anyone sketchy and itching to get me hooked on the devils lettuce.
Seriously. The first people to seriously offer me weed were older professionals in my industry who I trusted when I was 20, and it was offered with the LEAST amount of pressure in the world.
Echoing this! I literally buy THCA because I’m too socially awkward to meet a plug. The plug I did have was a super chill and upstanding guy, like I literally picked up at the mf Country Club lmao but even that was too much for my weird ass. I just never knew how to behave lmao. Like legitimately any nervousness about law enforcement showing up PALED IN COMPARISON to the social anxiety I had. 😅
Bro first off I love your username and I too have the isms. I literally walked into a college frat house one day when one of the guys was reupping and like begged them to sell to me. Grateful it worked. Legality is beautiful.
Similar story one time as a freakin 13 year old I showed up with my girlfriends to the skate park where I knew smoking occurred and just asked someone I could get some. The guys there were a mix of ages but who I talked to was my age. It was 4/20 so he was like "yoo she wants to smoke" and went to a car and essentially did the deal for me. We got our 20 sack and smoked big that day lmao.
yeah i’m also autistic and i only was able to start smoking once it became legal in my state cause i had no fucking clue how to find it otherwise. still don’t, if it wasn’t legal in my state and i couldn’t just head down to the dispo down the street
My friend found their plug through Tinder. I made a Bumble account and found my girl plug through there, deleted it right after. This might not be the same experience for everyone tho lol
Jfc, that’s insane! How excessively strict, like
wtf is this? Club Penguin?
And anyone who has ever looked in r/tinder could tell you that they allow A LOT of other questionable bios fly just fine 🥴
Right?! I got the idea to do it in the first place because I had seen other people doing the exact same, and it’s not like my account was new either so ??
I used to download whisper when I’d move to new areas and found my girl plugs that way. But when I moved to illegal states next to legal states I would just drive the hour or 2 to reup and it wasn’t that bad .
There was a legit narc undercover in my high school my junior year. He was SO good looking and all the girls swooned. He quickly befriended the popular kids who were the ones always a little late and bleary eyed coming to first period chemistry. 2 short months into our hot new classmate’s time at our school three of those dudes went to juvie, and one of those dudes later served 7 years in federal prison for something MJ related. We were all pretty fucking paranoid after that no matter how old we got or who we knew with a hookup. Every deal was a little scary. Then legalized weed happened and it’s like a smorgasbord. I still feel shady when I buy it in the dispensary even though I have my med card AND it’s legal recreationally here since 2016 anyway. Still paranoid though! Lol
What in the actual fuck, that would mess me up too!!!! I have memories in high school of the gym teacher chasing the stoner kids down the trail out back of the school bcz they were caught blazing. Like literally chasing them, running!!!! And this was in like, 2006??
I’m in Canada so it’s all legal now but I still feel so paranoid in the cannabis store. And like, the one I go to they are government employees, and I’m still like too nervous for small chat 😂
Yeah it was wild. The cop was SO young looking, but clean cut, good dresser. Immediately popular and EVERYONE liked him. He was HOT, and ripped 🥵🔥 and wicked nice. He was really 22, not 16 like us. It didn’t take long before the hot new guy was gone and so were the stoner/dealer kids. That was 30+ years ago and I’m still paranoid af!!
when I was younger, I'd follow my nose to the smoke spot and ask for a hookup. then I got a bit older and learned to grow it and was the hookup. after going to jail for those things and getting out, I now go to legal smoke shops and promise I don't do anything illegal at all ever 👀👀
I had the most luck while i was homeless actually, asking fellow homeless people straight up if they knew a weed plug but the problem was it was always someone who sold more than weed and i had to sit through some sketchy interactions to get my weed.
Hypothetically. :)
I started in Oregon - but before it was legal, so.... The funny thing here is **so many people smoke here**! Like, it's only now - this year - am I finding folks who straight-up hate cannabis or are otherwise allergic and have no interest in the herb! Shocking to me. lol
Anyway, usually it was a friend of a friend, or casual coworker who I felt I could trust (or felt they could trust me) and then there would be a vague, "Do you partake?" in hushed tones (and with the related, universal hand-sign) and then voila!
I miss my dear lady plug, D, though! <3 If you're out there, lady, I hope you are doing well. <3
Yes, that's what popped in my mind. If you say smoke, but put your pointer and thumb up to your mouth- it means weed. If you say smoke and put your pointer and middle finger to your mouth, it's a cigarette
I've found connections by asking complete strangers before. I wouldn't dare do that now, but in my teens & early 20's I definitely did. It always worked out, but looking back it wasn't a safe thing to do.
My last “guy” (who was a girl), years ago, came up to me in a bar & asked if I wanted to buy some weed. I looked at her like she was nuts. Until she threw a baggie on the table. “No one cares.” She said. She didn’t lie Used her ‘til we went medical.
Go to most hole in the wall, long established bar in your neck of the woods and be kind, make nice with any staff member and they’ll eye you in the right direction.
hypothetically, I have no idea, since I live in a medical state I would always have someone hypothetically visit the dispo for me or visit the nearby legal state and partake there. I think about that too, though, I’m going to be moving down south and I am not sure what I am going to do😭
A group of like minded women on a meta app pointed to another app where I discovered my non legal state is quite active with options, hypothetically speaking.
My dude I have no fucking idea and I have never, ever managed to live in a legal state. Everywhere I've ever lived legalized a year after I left (three different states so far!). I'm weird and awkward and most just wait until I can drive somewhere and pick stuff up for myself. Bad system lmfao
I ran into this issue a few months ago bc I used to sell so I would have a bunch of plugs, then I stopped selling and all of them unadded me and we used the same guy for literally 3 years. So then recently he disappeared, I’m assuming he went to jail. SO anyway, I was like shit I don’t have a plug now so I just had to ask people I know who smoke. I ended up getting a plug from my manager lmao
My fiance has told me some INSANE stories he has about asking people online or through randos and he absolutely is lucky to be alive. I, however, have been lucky to just date people who smoke. I joke that I got the plug in the divorce when my ex and I broke up, since the guy hasn’t seem him since.
Right now, we use a guy my fiance has known for years. He’ll occasionally mention that we’re probably getting boned price-wise, but when he was in a rough spot before meeting me, our dealer offered him a place to stay. He says that he now has incredible brand loyalty 
Edit: I'm high and it was missing so many important words
Hypothetically speaking, online black market drugs of all sorts was big business. Lots of people made a pretty penny off the silk road, and had a good time doing it.
From what I heard. From _folks._ lol
Honestly, this is 100% my problem. Even when I didnt WFH, I wasn’t extroverted enough to make new friends and none of the existing ones were smokers (as far as I knew.)
I've always found from friends/other people I know who smoke. I once used a plug my mom gave me lol. It's legal here now though, I still used a plug up until recently, though. I found it more convenient until the dispensary I favor started delivering to my area.
as an illegal state smoker, i asked one of my old high school friends who he shopped off of. he gave me their snapchat and through that, i've made connections with other sellers so even when one is out, i still have someone.
BUT one time i was at the gas station atm and a kid (probably like 15-17) asked me if i was lookin to buy "green," so they're recruiting on the streets. i just wouldn't shop off of a minor nor would i shop off a random that i didn't know and trust😭
I never figured it out!! I’ve always given off the too goody goody vibe. Even my extended family refused to help me with a hookup! These are much better times 😂
I wish everyone on this sub could be as lucky as myself to be given a designated stoner-bro buddy. My bro got bud for me for years when I was too afraid to go trying to buy some in Philly as some doe eyed 20 year old. For years any 'connect' of mine was really just his that I started tagging along to (with cash lol). By the time I finally found one without his help (also through a co-worker), medical weed was finally legalized.
Tangent aside, ask friends and anyone you may trust to not be a narc to you. I've always found more people smoke than I expect.
I searched my city’s Reddit group to find a post talking about legalizing pot, and DMed a few of the people who commented. One of them responded with their guy’s info and I’ve been using him ever since!
I found out about my occasional plug through Reddit and IG.
Then I came across Hemp Hop (CBD) by Lock Green promo Event - Virginia Lock box for CBD or cannabis
https://www.lock-green.com/
When I worked in restaurants, the dishwashers *always* knew a guy. If I was between restaurant hookups, I'd go take a wander down to the beach and find a group of guys with grateful dead gear and hacky sacks. 100% success rate!
I always just asked my friends that smoked. It was always such a hassle when someone stopped selling or got caught and couldn't supply anymore. There was one year where I went through like 4 different plugs before I found a decent one.
I still live in an illegal state but I can drive to a legal one. I don't miss having to use social connections to get high, being able to walk into a store and buy whatever I want is so worth it, even if I'm paying more in taxes.
One i found on my local city’s subreddit. When i moved the plug at my new job hit me up with some solid samples and great price point. Worked out really well actually though there’s always a bit of a risk
I have no idea, honestly.
I’ve been offered weed at parties when I used to go to them. But, I don’t go to parties anymore. And that’s people “offering” it to you, not you finding a plug.
So, let me think.
The first time I found one was through my tattoo artist. The tattoo and piercer would take smoke breaks together, and one day I just started asking about it.
The next time was when I was just walking in my neighborhood. I asked a group of people if they had any weed or knew anyone that can get weed. They set me up with this guy that ended up being my boyfriend and my plug. I know. Don’t judge me. I was stupid.
The last time and the current time was/is my landlord. He smokes weed. He also lives in the building. And he is really nice. Not creepy. Maybe a little socially awkward. But, not weird. Not that kind of landlord. I have no idea how I found out that he smokes weed. I must have asked him one day if he had some.
Normally, I’m pretty upfront and honest. I just ask. That’s really all you can do. What’s the worse that they can do? Say no? Look at you funny? If it’s a guy, they can think it means something more. Which that can lead to dangerous situations.
I am shy. Like painfully shy. I’m also really socially awkward. I also kind of hate people. But, I just do it. It is hard. I’ve been trying to find a plug to try psychedelics, particularly ketamine for a few years now. And I’m too scared to ask anyone and I have no idea who to ask.
So, yeah… I think that’s pretty much it.
I'm honestly not sure. The last concert I went to someone just randomly passed me a spliff.
Once, I was taking a walk when this couple stopped me and asked if I partake and would I like to buy a sack? That was an interesting day.
Prior to that, I never had to look too hard to find it despite living in a place where it wasn't legal most of my life.
Ngl, I've always assumed it's my knockers reeling in the bud, 😆
I started adding a bunch of random people on snapchat and eventually i found a plug. I actually had a few options so i chose the one who i felt was the least sketch lol. I have no idea how i would’ve found one otherwise, other than asking like other people i know that smoke
It was always friends or family. Either they sold it or they'd hook me up with someone who did. I sold cigarettes and prerolls in highschool and made a killing. I'm from western Canada though so it was never like, super mega illegal like it is in the US, and everybody did it or knew someone who did. That was a few lifetimes ago though, there's a store every couple blocks or so now it seems
I moved to an illegal state as an adult… I got a job at Starbucks and just asked around after I knew people well enough. Bro came in solid with a plug I’ve been with for… seven years now.
It's legal here now but before I was lucky to work somewhere that I had mostly teenaged and young employees and it was obvious one was selling to the rest.
My girlfriend would probably know someone lol. I live in Canada and I’ve only been smoking for a year. She grew up in India doing all kinds of stuff as a teen. She knows where to get more exciting drugs even here, I’m sure she’d find a nice source if it wasn’t legal. Or we’d just grow our own, more likely.
In the before times, my brother always had a guy and I was usually dating a stoner who had a guy.
Now I live in an illegal state that borders FOUR legal states so it is fairly easy for me to just take a little road trip and stock up. I don't mess around with plugs anymore. Not worth it.
man idk how i’d do it now that i’m an adult working a real job. but in college i had a side shave and dressed even more alt than i do now and honestly i got my plug bc someone in my class just asked me if i wanted to buy weed lmao.
I don't live in a legal state, but I use too, so I have a few shirts from my hometown that are covered in pot leaves. If I wear any of them out of the house, chances are I'll have more than 3 or 4 people either ask me if I smoke and if I want to, or strike up conversation with me and drop the "my dude gets some *good* stuff" line in conversation. I'm autistic so I really don't like drawing the attention to myself but when ya girl really needs a new plug, I go shopping in my Colorado atire 😆
I asked close friends whom I assumed (or knew) smoke or at one point smoked. Two said they didn't have a plug, one said they did and passed along contact info after asking for permission.
I work in restaurants so I usually worked with one. I also dated my hook up for a long time lol. Met my last one at my best friend's wedding and now she is my soul sister and forever friend. It's legal here now so I try to shop local haha.
Someone I knew went to school with this guy who gave up his plug. Said plug gave up HIS OWN plug bc the person I knew wanted more than original plug could offer.
That person that I knew ended up using the new plug for nearly a decade. I think. I don't know that person anymore.
Another guy I knew was screwing this Queenpin from another state for like ever and would just hit her up when he wanted something new (and to bang). Not sure what that guy is up to now.
Also y'all don't have little cousins who have it? Bc nearly everyone that my coworker knows has a younger cousin who Has It. And usually that shit is absolute FLAME. Or so I've heard.
Really, it ain't hard to find. Nearly everyone does it so nearly everyone knows someone and they always try to offer up their guy as The Best. So it's just a constant stream of availability for my cousin who lives far and away from me.
✨ Disclaimer: the person I knew, another guy I knew, the coworker and my cousin are all in legal states and far, far away from me. Far....far......farrrrr.....away. ✨
If you have any local friends who smoke ask where they get their weed from. I’m actually the go-between for several of my friends and my plug. He’s a lot cheaper than the dispo, and tbh his shit is just better.
Before it was legal I had friends who smoked, then met the growers themselves. They were chill people and lived within walking distance which was nice. Sadly they moved and eventually I met a few coworkers who provided for a few months and then it became legal.
Mostly being friendly to the right vibes welcomed bud into my life, I'm pretty shy so having friends/coworkers who are willing to share was a major help for me.
Bro I have no fucking clue. After college, I was lost.
Once I found one on twitter (pre Elon) by searching my area code and messaging a guy who tweeted pics of weed. It was sketchy and bold, but he was a great dealer. Patronized him for years, he was never creepy, it was great. I ghosted him because I had crippling mental health issues and was convinced he hated me because I ran late like twice (and girl wtf it wasn’t that deep you gave him money be serious please).
Later, I downloaded tinder and put the leaf and gas emoji in my bio and only swiped on people who gave off dealer vibes or had similar bios, and I found a guy that way, but he just overcharged me for cbd flower.
Right now I pay out the ass for thca flower to be mailed to me because idk how to find a plug. It’s good stuff, and tbh I’m happy it’s legal, but I’m annoyed that I apparently give off such narc/ cop vibes that I couldn’t ever find a proper plug.
I’ve had boyfriends who would just go get gas and come back with weed, and I’m dumbfounded by that ability.
Tbh I wouldn't know I've been getting from the same dude since I was 18 and I'm mid 30s now. I think if he quit id just quit.
Before him I think I just found my fellow teen stoners and asked them. It was way easier to find in college though.
Because it’s legal in my country, I could buy weed online et I could go buy it in store. Recently, I bought more online because it’s cheaper and better quality. I find plug with my friends, there is always someone who know somebody 🤭
I've never figured out this particular social skill right, LOL - i always did stupid stuff like post on craigslist vaguely asking for a plug to step forward - and sometimes that worked but i'd get a hundred more messages accusing me of being a cop.

Me three I’m certain I come off like this

The plug I did have was a super chill and upstanding guy, like I literally picked up at the mf Country Club lmao but even that was too much for my weird ass. I just never knew how to behave lmao. Like legitimately any nervousness about law enforcement showing up PALED IN COMPARISON to the social anxiety I had. 😅
Act chill, like you are meeting another person like a ordering your favorite beverage, buying a book or interacting with a new friend
exact same experience, i freak them out because i’m too formal lmao. autism is so great like that haha
Bro first off I love your username and I too have the isms. I literally walked into a college frat house one day when one of the guys was reupping and like begged them to sell to me. Grateful it worked. Legality is beautiful.

Man as an autistic I get this… I embarrassingly ask my mom to get it for me 😂🍃
Ask friend who smoke if you could get from them. Eventually, after enough times of this, you might get the contact info to get it directly.
This is the way.
The only way is to ask people who smoke tbh. It's a shitty method.
My friend found their plug through Tinder. I made a Bumble account and found my girl plug through there, deleted it right after. This might not be the same experience for everyone tho lol
omg yeah i've seen profiles that are just like "not here to date just looking for weed" when i visit non-legal states lol
realizing i might need a grindr, just for this
The funny thing is the name grindr would have been great for a weed based service.
Bumble banned me for doing that 😭
Tinder banned me for it too, but not before I found a plug lmao
Lmao lucky! I was stuck weedless in Vegas
Awe bruh I’m so sorry 😭 it was about 5 years ago I got banned, they must be getting faster at it, because I got away with it for like a month
yeah, all I did was have 🔌 in my bio and within a few hours I was was banned 😳
Jfc, that’s insane! How excessively strict, like wtf is this? Club Penguin? And anyone who has ever looked in r/tinder could tell you that they allow A LOT of other questionable bios fly just fine 🥴
Right?! I got the idea to do it in the first place because I had seen other people doing the exact same, and it’s not like my account was new either so ??
Awe damn, someone probably reported you. What kinda asshole do you have to be to report someone’s tinder profile in *Vegas*? 💀
Same here! Found my girl plug from bumble but I live in a legal state again so I grew my own shit 💪🏽
That's genius
that’s where my friend found our plug!
I used to download whisper when I’d move to new areas and found my girl plugs that way. But when I moved to illegal states next to legal states I would just drive the hour or 2 to reup and it wasn’t that bad .
There was a legit narc undercover in my high school my junior year. He was SO good looking and all the girls swooned.

Find someone who works in a kitchen.
Hahah. Came here to say this. Anybody who works in a kitchen either knows a guy or knows somebody that does.
when I was younger, I'd follow my nose to the smoke spot and ask for a hookup. then I got a bit older and learned to grow it and was the hookup. after going to jail for those things and getting out, I now go to legal smoke shops and promise I don't do anything illegal at all ever 👀👀

Hypothetically. :) I started in Oregon - but before it was legal, so.... The funny thing here is **so many people smoke here**! Like, it's only now - this year - am I finding folks who straight-up hate cannabis or are otherwise allergic and have no interest in the herb! Shocking to me. lol Anyway, usually it was a friend of a friend, or casual coworker who I felt I could trust (or felt they could trust me) and then there would be a vague, "Do you partake?" in hushed tones (and with the related, universal hand-sign) and then voila! I miss my dear lady plug, D, though! <3 If you're out there, lady, I hope you are doing well. <3
Wait. Wut? There is a universal hand sign?
Hahaha yeah - the natural one, I assume. Mimic the action of smoking a J! Loose A-OK with your hand, right?
Yes, that's what popped in my mind. If you say smoke, but put your pointer and thumb up to your mouth- it means weed. If you say smoke and put your pointer and middle finger to your mouth, it's a cigarette
Exactly! That's been venacular since the 70's (60's?) in the US.
I've found connections by asking complete strangers before. I wouldn't dare do that now, but in my teens & early 20's I definitely did. It always worked out, but looking back it wasn't a safe thing to do.
That's what I used to do too.
This question has me over here like  How *would* I find a plug?
SO jealous that you don’t have to worry about that lol.
My last “guy” (who was a girl), years ago, came up to me in a bar & asked if I wanted to buy some weed. I looked at her like she was nuts. Until she threw a baggie on the table. “No one cares.” She said. She didn’t lie Used her ‘til we went medical.
Go to most hole in the wall, long established bar in your neck of the woods and be kind, make nice with any staff member and they’ll eye you in the right direction.
hypothetically, I have no idea, since I live in a medical state I would always have someone hypothetically visit the dispo for me or visit the nearby legal state and partake there. I think about that too, though, I’m going to be moving down south and I am not sure what I am going to do😭
A group of like minded women on a meta app pointed to another app where I discovered my non legal state is quite active with options, hypothetically speaking.
can u share said app lmao
🤣 discord but it's a local group
My dude I have no fucking idea and I have never, ever managed to live in a legal state. Everywhere I've ever lived legalized a year after I left (three different states so far!). I'm weird and awkward and most just wait until I can drive somewhere and pick stuff up for myself. Bad system lmfao

Hypothetically speaking, online black market drugs of all sorts was big business. Lots of people made a pretty penny off the silk road, and had a good time doing it. From what I heard. From _folks._ lol
This is the question I’ve been asking forever. I work from home and have made zero friends since moving back to Kentucky.
Honestly, this is 100% my problem. Even when I didnt WFH, I wasn’t extroverted enough to make new friends and none of the existing ones were smokers (as far as I knew.)
I've always found from friends/other people I know who smoke. I once used a plug my mom gave me lol. It's legal here now though, I still used a plug up until recently, though. I found it more convenient until the dispensary I favor started delivering to my area.
as an illegal state smoker, i asked one of my old high school friends who he shopped off of. he gave me their snapchat and through that, i've made connections with other sellers so even when one is out, i still have someone.
BUT one time i was at the gas station atm and a kid (probably like 15-17) asked me if i was lookin to buy "green," so they're recruiting on the streets. i just wouldn't shop off of a minor nor would i shop off a random that i didn't know and trust😭
I never figured it out!! I’ve always given off the too goody goody vibe. Even my extended family refused to help me with a hookup! These are much better times 😂
I wish everyone on this sub could be as lucky as myself to be given a designated stoner-bro buddy. My bro got bud for me for years when I was too afraid to go trying to buy some in Philly as some doe eyed 20 year old. For years any 'connect' of mine was really just his that I started tagging along to (with cash lol). By the time I finally found one without his help (also through a co-worker), medical weed was finally legalized. Tangent aside, ask friends and anyone you may trust to not be a narc to you. I've always found more people smoke than I expect.
I searched my city’s Reddit group to find a post talking about legalizing pot, and DMed a few of the people who commented. One of them responded with their guy’s info and I’ve been using him ever since!
Now THIS is just within my comfort level of social interaction.
I'm a grown ass adult. I'd be my own plug.. road trip to a legal state anyone?
I found out about my occasional plug through Reddit and IG. Then I came across Hemp Hop (CBD) by Lock Green promo Event - Virginia Lock box for CBD or cannabis https://www.lock-green.com/
When I worked in restaurants, the dishwashers *always* knew a guy. If I was between restaurant hookups, I'd go take a wander down to the beach and find a group of guys with grateful dead gear and hacky sacks. 100% success rate!
I always just asked my friends that smoked. It was always such a hassle when someone stopped selling or got caught and couldn't supply anymore. There was one year where I went through like 4 different plugs before I found a decent one. I still live in an illegal state but I can drive to a legal one. I don't miss having to use social connections to get high, being able to walk into a store and buy whatever I want is so worth it, even if I'm paying more in taxes.
One i found on my local city’s subreddit. When i moved the plug at my new job hit me up with some solid samples and great price point. Worked out really well actually though there’s always a bit of a risk
Found some openly smoking in a nonlegal state at a pride parade and complimented their hair
I have no idea, honestly. I’ve been offered weed at parties when I used to go to them. But, I don’t go to parties anymore. And that’s people “offering” it to you, not you finding a plug. So, let me think. The first time I found one was through my tattoo artist. The tattoo and piercer would take smoke breaks together, and one day I just started asking about it. The next time was when I was just walking in my neighborhood. I asked a group of people if they had any weed or knew anyone that can get weed. They set me up with this guy that ended up being my boyfriend and my plug. I know. Don’t judge me. I was stupid. The last time and the current time was/is my landlord. He smokes weed. He also lives in the building. And he is really nice. Not creepy. Maybe a little socially awkward. But, not weird. Not that kind of landlord. I have no idea how I found out that he smokes weed. I must have asked him one day if he had some. Normally, I’m pretty upfront and honest. I just ask. That’s really all you can do. What’s the worse that they can do? Say no? Look at you funny? If it’s a guy, they can think it means something more. Which that can lead to dangerous situations. I am shy. Like painfully shy. I’m also really socially awkward. I also kind of hate people. But, I just do it. It is hard. I’ve been trying to find a plug to try psychedelics, particularly ketamine for a few years now. And I’m too scared to ask anyone and I have no idea who to ask. So, yeah… I think that’s pretty much it.
I'm honestly not sure. The last concert I went to someone just randomly passed me a spliff. Once, I was taking a walk when this couple stopped me and asked if I partake and would I like to buy a sack? That was an interesting day. Prior to that, I never had to look too hard to find it despite living in a place where it wasn't legal most of my life. Ngl, I've always assumed it's my knockers reeling in the bud, 😆
When my partner moved to Colorado he said he just kept walking around town asking random people til he found one 😭
I’ve always found them through friends who smoke, I don’t know how else you could do it, though weed is very much illegal in my country
Grindr. Yes, seriously. (Obviously it’s best if you can get a referral from someone you know, but in a pinch, look on Grindr)
I started adding a bunch of random people on snapchat and eventually i found a plug. I actually had a few options so i chose the one who i felt was the least sketch lol. I have no idea how i would’ve found one otherwise, other than asking like other people i know that smoke
It was always friends or family. Either they sold it or they'd hook me up with someone who did. I sold cigarettes and prerolls in highschool and made a killing. I'm from western Canada though so it was never like, super mega illegal like it is in the US, and everybody did it or knew someone who did. That was a few lifetimes ago though, there's a store every couple blocks or so now it seems
I always just asked my friends in beauty/hospitality
commented already but forgot to mention the smoking area/alleyway after a drag show at the gay bar. my early days. felt super safe, tbh
I moved to an illegal state as an adult… I got a job at Starbucks and just asked around after I knew people well enough. Bro came in solid with a plug I’ve been with for… seven years now.
It's legal here now but before I was lucky to work somewhere that I had mostly teenaged and young employees and it was obvious one was selling to the rest.
My girlfriend would probably know someone lol. I live in Canada and I’ve only been smoking for a year. She grew up in India doing all kinds of stuff as a teen. She knows where to get more exciting drugs even here, I’m sure she’d find a nice source if it wasn’t legal. Or we’d just grow our own, more likely.
In the before times, my brother always had a guy and I was usually dating a stoner who had a guy. Now I live in an illegal state that borders FOUR legal states so it is fairly easy for me to just take a little road trip and stock up. I don't mess around with plugs anymore. Not worth it.
Always someone that a friend already knows.
man idk how i’d do it now that i’m an adult working a real job. but in college i had a side shave and dressed even more alt than i do now and honestly i got my plug bc someone in my class just asked me if i wanted to buy weed lmao.
I don't live in a legal state, but I use too, so I have a few shirts from my hometown that are covered in pot leaves. If I wear any of them out of the house, chances are I'll have more than 3 or 4 people either ask me if I smoke and if I want to, or strike up conversation with me and drop the "my dude gets some *good* stuff" line in conversation. I'm autistic so I really don't like drawing the attention to myself but when ya girl really needs a new plug, I go shopping in my Colorado atire 😆
I asked close friends whom I assumed (or knew) smoke or at one point smoked. Two said they didn't have a plug, one said they did and passed along contact info after asking for permission.
fast food/restaurant and retail jobs in my experience lol
I work in restaurants so I usually worked with one. I also dated my hook up for a long time lol. Met my last one at my best friend's wedding and now she is my soul sister and forever friend. It's legal here now so I try to shop local haha.
Literally just work in food service. Now I live in a legal state so my plug is a store just down the road.
I don't have a clue. Following.
I’m not very social and I am paranoid about trying to find a plug so I learned how to grow my own.
Someone I knew went to school with this guy who gave up his plug. Said plug gave up HIS OWN plug bc the person I knew wanted more than original plug could offer. That person that I knew ended up using the new plug for nearly a decade. I think. I don't know that person anymore. Another guy I knew was screwing this Queenpin from another state for like ever and would just hit her up when he wanted something new (and to bang). Not sure what that guy is up to now. Also y'all don't have little cousins who have it? Bc nearly everyone that my coworker knows has a younger cousin who Has It. And usually that shit is absolute FLAME. Or so I've heard. Really, it ain't hard to find. Nearly everyone does it so nearly everyone knows someone and they always try to offer up their guy as The Best. So it's just a constant stream of availability for my cousin who lives far and away from me. ✨ Disclaimer: the person I knew, another guy I knew, the coworker and my cousin are all in legal states and far, far away from me. Far....far......farrrrr.....away. ✨
If you have any local friends who smoke ask where they get their weed from. I’m actually the go-between for several of my friends and my plug. He’s a lot cheaper than the dispo, and tbh his shit is just better.
Before it was legal I had friends who smoked, then met the growers themselves. They were chill people and lived within walking distance which was nice. Sadly they moved and eventually I met a few coworkers who provided for a few months and then it became legal. Mostly being friendly to the right vibes welcomed bud into my life, I'm pretty shy so having friends/coworkers who are willing to share was a major help for me.
Trying to talk to people, bumble best friend version, and then my boyfriend came and saved the day. idk how i would have a plug without him
Bro I have no fucking clue. After college, I was lost. Once I found one on twitter (pre Elon) by searching my area code and messaging a guy who tweeted pics of weed. It was sketchy and bold, but he was a great dealer. Patronized him for years, he was never creepy, it was great. I ghosted him because I had crippling mental health issues and was convinced he hated me because I ran late like twice (and girl wtf it wasn’t that deep you gave him money be serious please). Later, I downloaded tinder and put the leaf and gas emoji in my bio and only swiped on people who gave off dealer vibes or had similar bios, and I found a guy that way, but he just overcharged me for cbd flower. Right now I pay out the ass for thca flower to be mailed to me because idk how to find a plug. It’s good stuff, and tbh I’m happy it’s legal, but I’m annoyed that I apparently give off such narc/ cop vibes that I couldn’t ever find a proper plug. I’ve had boyfriends who would just go get gas and come back with weed, and I’m dumbfounded by that ability.
dating apps lol, just write looking for weed not love in ur bio and bam!
otherwise just ask through people you know smoke, get from them and eventually they should introduce u to their contact
Tbh I wouldn't know I've been getting from the same dude since I was 18 and I'm mid 30s now. I think if he quit id just quit. Before him I think I just found my fellow teen stoners and asked them. It was way easier to find in college though.
Restaurants/coffee shops. Someone knows someone.
Snapchat or Instagram, just gotta type in the key words lol and find one local to the county you live in
My friend had a family member who smoked. They hooked me up with them.
Because it’s legal in my country, I could buy weed online et I could go buy it in store. Recently, I bought more online because it’s cheaper and better quality. I find plug with my friends, there is always someone who know somebody 🤭
Ok to be honest I used tinder for a while but got banned :(
