Not sure if you are being serious but they are usually the best type of dealer because you can have a nice cuppa as well.

I totally agree, I haven’t scored off a young person since I left college, too unreliable with too much ego.

Word around town is this guy was one of the bigger weed dealers on the south side. Wouldn’t be surprised if its a drug related murder. Most of the news reports seem to just say “he had a lot of visitors.”

Oh come on. He was 71. You never find old people involved in that sort of thing.
