    That amount of weed and money was probably forgotten for a good while to those pants, because it wasn’t central to the dealer’s life or hustling.

    … What article did you read? These two had a backpack full of $2200 USD and over 40 g of cannanis – in a country where any amount is illegal – and left it outside a charity shop while they waited for their car to be serviced. They didn’t intentionally donate the backpack which accidentally contained the stash; they straight-up left it unattended knowing what was in it while they waited with the intent to pick it back up.

    Yes, that is laughably incompetent. They knew the drugs and cash were in there and left it completely unattended for an extended period in front of a shop that takes donations in a country where its discovery will get them up to years in prison (had they not been 16; I don’t know how that shakes out).

      And I’m a person who grows and sells weed and who’s friend-circles are all smokers, in a country where any amount is illegal. And here a cannabis smoker is basically equated to a junkie shooting up.

      And I’m telling you, that’s a small amount. Especially the 40g. If that was all the person had, they wouldn’t have lost it. The only way they lost it is that it was just a small part of their inventory. Which is is. 40g is nothing, and it’s even put in dimebags. This is an everyday hustler and that’s about a days worth of sales. Albeit this guy isn’t a grower, because he hustles dimebags and I don’t know a single grower who sell dimebags like that because of the amount of work you have to put in only for marginal increase in profits. Which is why that 2200 isn’t a days worth of profits, but it is a day or two worth of sales for a hustler.

      Hell I just got donated more weed last week and a friend lost an equivalent amount of euros.

      Unless you’ve never forgotten anything anywhere, no, that’s not “laughably incompetent” just because you’d think of 2200 as a fortune and 40g as a huge drug stash.

      It’s exactly the sort of thing older teenagers and early 20’s do; hustle weed.

      But hey if it humours you I’m not judging you for laughing, I can understand it from someone who doesn’t understand the real world.
