My old city I just middled through childhood friends.

Hang out at some dive bars and ask around?

The answer I feared. I have many anxieties regarding social interaction.

Buy a pack of cigs and hang out back at a kitchen. Someone will hook you up

Good idea! Is there a type that kitchen workers are known to enjoy? All of the construction guys I’ve met are big into american spirits for some reason.

Make friends with townies that smoke

Through one of their clients is probably reliable. I’ve seen reports of some people advertising rather openly, eg on social media or dating apps… I don’t know what to say about that. Nothing good.

I don’t know anyone who’s had trouble with online orders on darknet markets, maybe in the meantime that’s an option.

I don’t know anyone here and only just met my coworkers yesterday.

I know a few legit dealers who do their business on Snapchat and instagram lol. As far as I know, they haven’t turned coats, but I still wouldn’t go with them out of principle because they prioritize mass appeal over security for themselves and their clients.

Get a retail or service job lol. 9/10 times if you’re cool then someone will eventually ask “hey do you smoke?” If you seem uptight and adhere to le rules based order of the company, then they will probably not say anything to you.

However people will usually only mention weed. You may have to deliberately mention other drugs if you want to seek it out.

I should note that I am young, so my age may have been a factor because most of the coworkers who brought this up were either around the same age or younger. There were a couple older guys who also asked me, but that’s because the nature of our work got us in contact with drugs frequently.

Alternatively you can also probably ask your friends for connections. Someone is bound to know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy from three states over who knows another guy in your city.

last time I tried this I got a weird look and told “not around here”. In fairness, I give off uptight vibes and follow the rules because covering my ass on the easy stuff lets me uncover my ass on the stuff that actually matters (stealing like 5-10 minutes every shift).

As long as you’re not hounding your coworkers and try to make an effort to talk with them regularly, they should usually be the one to ask you. I’m pretty uptight too but when managers aren’t around I’m usually trying to chat everybody up
