Very pleasant for me, my girlfriend in the late 90s and early 2000s was a mildly upmarket dealer, and I got work through her contacts which was usually safe. I ended up doing a lot of work through her dealer, who was the big fish in a town of about 300K people.
I got nice presents, got paid to chaperone his daughter and her friends for a week (free holiday!), got better work contacts for myself, very cheap electrical goods, free drugs, and had a favour I never got around to calling in.
I did spend a day digging up his garden looking for a nine bar of resin that he'd buried while high, which was hard work (we didn't find it), and there was a time I was interviewed by police while I was hiding enough speed in my house that it's sale could have bought said house, but it was otherwise just an informal business relationship with occasional blowjobs.
10/10 would do again.
Blowjobs from whom? Hopefully they weren't also dealing in human trafficking...
From me.
He dealt in drugs and kept in his lane, but knew how to get pretty much anything for a price. And I became part of that anything.
Sounds like a pleasant experience lol
It was a mixed bag TBH - that girlfriend was very abusive, and sometimes when I received a work request is was heavily implied that it would be a bad idea to turn it down ... though I never had any trouble from any of those clients.
I ended up with a drug problem - at least a couple of codene and a dab of speed before my feet hit the floor getting out if bed, and then more stuff through the day. My kidneys are pretty fucked.
But, the positive experiences were very positive, and I gained a lot of life experience which still comes in handy to this day :-)
