Illegal drugs are a serious problem in many societies. Despite the risks associated with their use, many people continue to seek out and buy drugs. If you are considering buying drugs, it is important to understand the risks and how to minimize them.
Understanding the Risks
The length in time (years) the research will take place, the length of various interviews, and the amount of time the information gathered will be kept on file is covered. Once the ethnographer, the dealer, and go-between complete their introduction and the initial conversation, dealers receive the ethnographer in different ways. There are those who want to tell their story to the ethnographer and to the “outside world.” Such desires prompt cooperation from the respondent dealer. Enthusiasm from a dealer subject is good, but too much enthusiasm means that the ethnographer could become consumed by the demands of that person (Werner & Schoepfle, 1987). One dealing family in the “Natural History of Crack Distribution/Abuse” became so comfortable with the ethnographer that they called each time a crisis occurred in the family.
Buying drugs is illegal and can result in severe consequences, including fines, imprisonment, and damage to your reputation. Additionally, the drugs themselves can be dangerous and may contain unknown substances that can cause serious harm or even death. It is important to be aware of these risks before making the decision to buy drugs.

Also, innovative features like hashtags, trending pages, “Quick Add” contacts, and disappearing direct messages can all contribute to mass drug distribution that law enforcement struggle to trace. This accessibility is alarming on multiple fronts, but the biggest concern is the risk of lethal overdose. Fentanyl is an especially potent and dangerous drug that many dealers use to lace their products with.
Finding a supplier can be difficult, as drug dealers often operate in secret and may be wary of new customers. It is important to be cautious when looking for a supplier and to avoid any situations that may put you at risk. Some ways to find a supplier include:

- Asking friends or acquaintances: If you know someone who uses drugs, they may be able to connect you with a supplier. However, it is important to remember that buying drugs from someone you know can be risky, as it can damage relationships and lead to legal consequences.
- Using online forums or social media: There are many online communities where people discuss and sell drugs. However, it is important to be cautious when using these resources, as they can be monitored by law enforcement and may not be safe.
- Going to a known drug hotspot: In some areas, drug dealers operate in specific locations, such as parks or street corners. However, these areas can be dangerous and may be monitored by law enforcement.
This month marks one year since Charlie Ternan, a 22-year-old, soon-to-be college graduate, was found unresponsive in his room after taking what he thought to be Percocet® to alleviate his back pain. The pill was unfortunately not a legitimate pain medication but was instead a fentapill, a counterfeit drug containing the synthetic opioid fentanyl. Charlie purchased the pill online from a social media site, which unknowingly connected him to a counterfeit dealer. The convenience of internet shopping attracts many young buyers to turn to social media and internet platforms, not only to buy ordinary goods but also medications. This is especially concerning as the world grows increasingly reliant on the internet for access to health care and public health information. Illegal online pharmacies pose a significant threat to the general population.
Additionally, some traffickers transport drugs to Pendleton on I-84 from Boise, Idaho. Ice methamphetamine poses the greatest drug threat to these areas; marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and prescription drugs are also distributed and abused in Roseburg, Bend, and Pendleton. Mexican DTOs transport methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine from Mexico through California to and through these areas.
Making the Transaction
When making a drug transaction, it is important to be cautious and take steps to protect yourself. Some tips for making a safe transaction include:
Emojis used in these drug communications commonly refer to the physical, psychological or physiological characteristics of the drugs, according to the ONIC. Pendleton is situated along I-84 and is south of the Tri-Cities (Richland, Pasco, Kennewick) area of Washington. Pendleton is a distribution stop for many drug traffickers en route to the Tri-Cities from the Southwest Border.
- Trained information specialists answer calls, transfer callers to state services or other appropriate intake centers in their states, and connect them with local assistance and support.
- Those near the top of dealer hierarchies generally are reluctant to introduce their boss (those above them in rank) because of fear of reprisals, a sense of responsibility to the individual boss, or/and a sense of loyalty to the organization.
- In actuality, drug prices in several cities have declined in recent years23 although without enforcement, prices may have fallen even further.
- Generally, after the potential dealer-subject meets, converses, and feels comfortable with the ethnographer, the go-between likely will not attend future meetings.
- Law enforcement reporting indicates that traffickers often conceal drugs in cavities in vehicles, stereo speakers, and engine compartments.
- Meeting in a public place: Meeting in a public place, such as a park or coffee shop, can help reduce the risk of being caught by law enforcement. It is also a good idea to bring a friend or family member with you for added safety.
- Using cash: Using cash can help protect your identity and reduce the risk of being tracked by law enforcement. It is also a good idea to count the money beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.
- Being discreet: It is important to be discreet when making a drug transaction. Avoid drawing attention to yourself and try to blend in with the crowd. It is also a good idea to avoid discussing the transaction in public or on your phone.
