First off. All credit for this story must be given to Tighe25 on grasscity he wrote all of these and is in the process of finishing this. I will be sure to post more when he updates.

The original thread is http://forum.grasscity.com/real-life-stories/839340-marijuana-short-story.html

I found this to be very entertaining. Reminded me of the story about the Heroin dealer. If you have the time sit back and read a few chapters I don't think you will be disappointed.

Chapter 1

He stopped sleeping with his gun at night. Maybe it was just laziness, maybe it was a false sense of security that had slowly crept over him the past few months. Or maybe he was just afraid he might actually have to use it again.

Jason Steele was not a man who was easily intimidated. Back in high school, only a few years earlier, he was known as the kid who never backed down. Not from a fight, not from a dare. He was always that guy, the one who earned everyone’s respect, even if the person didn’t necessarily like him. He always had his pick of the girls in the school, sometimes it got so overwhelming that he had to resort to purposely ‘losing’ his phones to avoid them harassing him through text every day. Highschool, the ‘glory days’. Jason realized now that Highschool was nothing but a false image. Everyone acted so happy, but deep down he knew that most of the kids were damaged inside and tried to cover it up with their respective social groups. Highschool was supposed to teach you life lessons and put you on the path to becoming successful.

But as he sat there, listening carefully to the noises coming from the first floor of his home, he thought to himself, “Highschool could never have prepared me for THIS.”

Jason Steele was a drug dealer. Simple as that. He spent the previous few years of his life buying marijuana, and selling it for a profit. It wasn’t a very complicated concept, but oh boy did it make him money. A lot of money. Here and there he would invest in some other products, Ecstasy, LSD, sometimes prescription medicine such as OxyContin or Vicodin, but he always ended up going back to mary jane. Marijuana was his rock from which he built his life.

He first tried ‘weed’ in middle school. Him and a few friends down at the beach shared a joint, probably less than a gram of schwag, between the five of them. Jason thought it was gross. He said to himself he wasn’t going to do THAT ever again. Who would have thought the boy who at first disliked marijuana would become one of the most successful dealers in his area. But by Highschool, he was ready to try it again. The summer before his freshman year, a few friends said they were going to smoke. The ‘Cool’ crowd. They had been asking Jason to come with them for some time, but he had always been hesitant. Finally he gave in. He was at a small party with friends, and already had a few beers in him, so he decided what was the worst that can happen, he’ll end up not enjoying it again and then decide to not try it any more? He walked with his friends to the woods and lit up. Man, was this different than the stuff he had tried his first time.

A quick, sharp noise from downstairs snapped Jason out of his daydream. He had a tendency to zone out at the wrong times, and running his hand over the small scar in his side reminded him of this.

“Fuck, where did I leave my piece?”, whispered Jason to himself as he crept towards the closet. He had a small weapons safe in his closet, but he was nervous it would make too much noise if he tried to get his MAC-10 out of the crude metal box. He had a small 9mm pistol also, but he could not for the love of God remember where he had stashed it. Finally, he remembered. Top drawer.

Jason silently stepped over to his desk and opened the top drawer. He pulled out a small hand cloth, under which his gun was located. Jason was never a fan of guns, or weapons of any kind for that matter, almost always choosing to fight with fists before anything else. However, this was no time to be ‘noble’. His life was in danger, and almost just as important to him as his life, so was his bud. He removed the handgun, and grabbed the clip which was located just next to it. He did not insert the clip in yet, afraid the click would alert whoever was downstairs. Instead, he headed over to his bed, and smothered the gun with his pillow and did his best to muffle the sound of him loading and cocking the pistol. It seemed to work. Now was the hard part. He had to go investigate whatever this noise was. As he glanced out his bedroom window, he did not notice any suspicious vehicles parked on his street.

Jason crept down the hallway of his second floor, looking in every room just to make sure no one else was there. Finally, he reached his stairs. They were new and carpeted, so he did not worry about making any noise. He took the first step and listened carefully.

“Maybe we should just wake him up now.”, said a voice Jason immediately recognized. “I’m thinking that’s a good idea”, said another Jason knew just as well. Jason stepped down the stairs and looked at the two men standing there in his living room.

“What the fuck are you two doing here?”, Jason asked them, secretly grateful it was not a group of burglars.

“Saving your life, once again.”, said one of the men, with a smirk.

 
CHAPTER TWO

The two men were Aaron Gozlan and Mark Torres, Jason’s closest friends. They often spent the night at Jason’s, both to help keep an eye on things and burn a few grams of the good stuff. They had helped Jason many times before, and back in Highschool they were the crew that always had each other’s backs in too many crazy situations to count. After Jason and his friends started smoking, the three of them all started having to be more careful of the police than usual.

Jason remembered that first time he got high. One of the kids he smoked with in the woods, Dirk, had rolled up a fat blunt of some seriously dank bud. Dirk’s older brother Kevin was a dealer at the time, and had always hooked Dirk up with great marijuana. It saddened Jason to think of how great friends him and Dirk used to be, and how this whole situation tore them apart. However, while they were still friends, they enjoyed many an adventure.

“No, dude, you have to inhale the smoke.”, Dirk had told Jason that first time in the woods.

“I am man, I think.”, replied Jason, who wasn’t a hundred percent sure what Dirk meant by ‘Inhale’. He thought you inhaled any time you pulled smoke into your mouth.

“Here, try this.”, Dirk said to him. “Let your breath out, and then pull for a few seconds. After you think you have enough smoke, open your mouth, and then try to breathe in a big breath of fresh air.”

Jason did as Dirk had said. He pulled on the blunt, which had a faint grape taste to it. After he had a nice pull, he opened his mouth, and sucked in as hard as he could. He immediately started coughing as if he was going to die. The circle of friends began to crack up and pat Jason on the back.

“How do you feel?”, asked one of the boys.

“I’m.. not.. sure.”, wheezed Jason. “I think I learned how to inhale though, haha.”

The blunt continued around the circle a few more times, each time Jason inhaled and each time he coughed less. Finally, around the third rotation, Jason realized his head felt funny. His hands were weightless, and he noticed that everything around him seemed more.. Interesting. He was staring at one caterpillar, which was just crawling around on a log next to him. He must have stared at that bug for at least ten minutes before someone said something.

“J, what the hell are you doing bro?”, asked Dirk with a grin on his face. Jason just looked up at Dirk, slightly confused and unable to make the right words come out of his mouth.

“I.. uh.. umm.. the bug.. crawling..”, was all Jason could come up with. He was extremely stoned.

“Jason Steele, you are one HIGH motherfucker!”, Dirk yelled, cracking a huge grin. Suddenly, Jason started laughing. Before he realized it, the entire circle of boys was cracking up, with no ability to control the laughter which seemed to originate from nothing. Jason stood there laughing his ass off for a full five minutes, tears rolling down his cheeks, unable to both figure out why he was laughing so hard, or control it. These were the times Jason now missed most.

“So, you gonna ask us why we have to save you, or just stand there awkwardly?”, joked Mark.

Jason came back to reality.

“Sorry, what’s going on?”, he asked. He knew it was something important, otherwise these two men would not be standing in his living room at three in the morning.

“It’s Kevin again. He let slip to one of his new guys that he had an important ‘house call’ to make to ‘an old friend’ in two hours. The new guy was at the same bar as us and trying to seem all cool to impress a woman, practically yelled about it. Now, I’m not a detective, but how many ‘old friends’ do you think he has to visit at five AM in this town?”, Aaron explained to him.

Jason stood there for a few seconds, wondering what he should do. He was often threatened by Kevin, Dirk’s older brother, because he was ‘cutting into his business’. Jason had tried to resolve peacefully with “Let me have my people and I won’t interfere with any of yours”, but Kevin wouldn’t have it. The thing with Kevin was, he was not actually a very good dealer, at least not by Jason’s standards. His bud often lacked quality, his bags were often skimped, and he was almost never on time to anything. The only reason why he did so well is because he was so well known, and had no problem threatening or harming smaller dealers who tried to start up on their own. He had a number of people working for him, also, and between himself and a few ‘underbosses’, he probably controlled at least half of the area.

“Move the stuff, get a few other guys, and wait for them.”, replied Jason. It was a short answer, but it was to the point. He was used to having to give short orders on a moments notice. Although he would never consider himself the ‘leader’ of his friends, he was often looked to for direction and back in the days of high school, usually had to be the one to come up with a quick plan.

Mark grinned at Jason. “Alright tough guy, time to get this show on the road”, said Mark, heading towards the basement. Aaron followed him downstairs, and Jason checked both his front and back doors. Both were locked, just as he left them. No windows were open, either.

“Hey, how did you guys get in here?”, he called down to the guys. There was a short pause before he got an answer.

“Don’t worry about it.”, called up Mark. Mark was one of those guys, loved to act mysterious and mess with people. Aaron threw a small closed blade up the stairs.

“Third window on the right.”, Aaron yelled.

Jason walked over the the third window on the right side of his house. The latch had been neatly severed from the frame, and the screen had been cleanly cut from the bottom. He wouldn’t have noticed it even if he was a foot away.

“Time to get some new locks, I guess.”, he muttered as he went to follow his friends down the stairs. Halfway down, he heard a horrified scream.

“Holy shit dude! What the fuck IS that thing?!”

 
CHAPTER THREE

Jason walked down the last few stairs, knowing exactly what Mark was yelling about.

“That thing is fucking huge!”, Aaron said aloud. Aaron had always told Jason he should get a guard dog, but since his faithful retriever Roscoe passed away a few years ago, he could not bring himself to get another dog just yet. So Jason opted for the next best thing- a python.

“I fucking HATE snakes man! Why would you not tell me you asshole!” Mark was being hysterical. Ever since he got bit by a field snake when he was a young boy, Mark had an incredible fear of snakes. Even seeing pictures bugged him out.

“Haha, got you didn’t I?”, chuckled Jason. He had to get back at Mark everyone once in a while. Mark was definitely the jokester of the crew, but Jason always had a few laughs up his sleeve that he used when he felt necessary.

They still had important business to take care of, however. Jason walked over to a large, black trunk with a lock on the front of it. This was his safety box. In it, he kept a couple ounces of marijuana and a few other items- papers, lighters, both his bongs, a few hundred dollars, and a phone book full of mostly old, or fake, phone numbers. If he ever got robbed, this is where he would point them.

Jason was a smart man, he knew sometimes you just got beat, and the best thing to do is to have a safety plan. He came up with the idea of a ‘safety box’ a few months into selling, when he heard a story of a kid who was set up after a pick up. The novice dealer paid, in full, for a pound of dank. A day later, before he even told anyone about his pickup, his house was broken into and ripped apart. The bud was all taken and the kid was left penniless. He must have been set up by his dealer, Jason figured. So Jason decided he would keep a fair amount of his stash in a big, recognizable lockbox, and hide the rest of his product somewhere discreet, so if he ever got robbed he would take the smallest hit possible.

Taking out his keys and unlocking the box, he removed everything important from this trunk, and set it all aside. He was ready to take care of the important stuff now.

“Alright men, you ready to have your minds blown, yet again?”, asked Jason with a smile.

“You know it homeboy”, Mark said, as Aaron developed a grin from ear to ear. Aaron was a bit of a cannabis enthusiast, and loved to try different strains and examine each smokes’ properties and whatnot.

“Let’s do it then.”, said Jason as he quickly headed over to his basement bookshelf. He pulled out four books, all next to each other, and then lifted up the small pocket knife on his keychain. Pulling out the small, swiss-army type blade, he dug it into a small, almost unnoticeable crack in the wood of the bookshelf. He pried this outward, and out popped a six-inch square panel of wood. Behind it was a dial lock and another keyhole.

“Okay guys, turn around, no peeking”, smirked Jason as he made his friends face the other way. He figured it’s better that no one knows the combo, for both his safety and theirs’.

“Come on man, I hate it when you do this.”, said Aaron over his shoulder. He was very antsy about seeing Jason’s wares.

Jason dialed in the code, took out a key, and clicked it into place. With a smile and a deep breathe, Jason grabbed a small turn-handle and twisted it. The bookshelf emitted a sigh as air rushed into the hidden space behind it.

“You can turn around now, narks”, Jason joked as he pulled open the large secret door.

“Oh.. My.. God..”, muttered Aaron, who was amazed every time he got to see this.

The room Jason uncovered was a fairly large, metal-encased closet. It was lined with shelves and reinforced with steel. Inside was one of the most beautiful assortments of bud ever seen to man. They all walked in and both Mark and Aaron looked like kids in a candy store. The shelves were lined with pounds and pounds of every kind of herb they could wish for, from the famed G-13 to the super frosty White Widow.

“Jason Steele, you madman!”, exclaimed Mark, who was having way too much fun staring at the shelves.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just weed, guys.”, said Jason sarcastically. He knew more than anyone else this was not ‘just weed’. This was his career.

“Purple Urkle, White Widow!”, chanted Aaron excitedly. “Super Silver, G-13, Cherry Berry, Bubba Kush.. TELL me that isn’t what I think it is!”

Jason grinned. “Yes, yes it is my friend.”, He said.

“Pineapple express! Hellllll yeah man!”, cried out Aaron. “Can we please smoke some dude?!”

“Soon, my friend, soon”, said Jason comfortingly. He wanted to smoke just as bad as anyone else, but they had work to do. They had to bring all this product out and load it into their cars, and move it somewhere safe.

Jason had a bad feeling, though. His gut told him something was up with this whole situation, and although he couldn’t put his finger quite on it, it made him think.

 
Chapter Four

“I’m hoping you two came in separate cars?”, questioned Jason. He wanted to split up the bud evenly between the three of them, that way, if anything went wrong, they could still save as much of the product as possible.

“Yeah, I followed Mark here”, said Aaron. “You’re lucky you didn’t get pulled over dude, you drive like a maniac.” Cars were something both Jason and Mark shared as a small passion. They both liked spending time in their garages, fixing up their rides and spending time on the track. They actually had plans to open up a garage together, before, well, they found a more profitable business to get into.

“I live for speed, homie”, said Mark. Mark Torres was one hell of a driver, though. Him and Jason always argued about who could dust who, and when it came down to it they were both equally-equipped racers.

“Mark, I could wreck you any day, and you know it.”, started Jason. Jason loved pushing Mark’s buttons about this.

“Man, I could do laps around you. Good thing we’re a team, though. It’s nice to have you on my side when shit gets real.”, replied Mark.

“Yeah, you got some precision driving skills bro.”, complimented Jason. He tried to be nice when he felt he was harassing Mark a bit much.

“And you can make clutch decisions and pull moves faster than anyone I know.”, said Mark back. “That’s why we’re the best.”

“Yeah, the fact you two are completely insane doesn’t hurt, either.”, laughed Aaron. Aaron could drive pretty well himself, but he just wasn’t as much of a car enthusiast. Aaron always considered himself more of a businessman. He handled most of Jason’s accounts, and Jason trusted him with his life- sometimes more than he trusted himself.

“Haha, okay guys, enough chit chat. We need to get moving soon.”, Jason said as the laughing quieted down. “Let’s move this all upstairs, and then load it into the cars.” They each carried the beautiful assortment of marijuana up into Jason’s living room. He checked the clock on his alarm system. It was now 3:47 AM.

“Where are you two parked?”, asked Jason. Aaron answered.

“Next block over, right down the street. Me and Mark will grab the cars, you get ready to load everything. I’ll pull into the driveway first and go straight to the back.” Aaron liked to make plans every once in a while. Jason enjoyed it because it made him feel like he wasn’t counted on for every decision.

“Sounds good. See you both in two minutes.”, answered Jason with a nod. As the two of them left, Jason sat down on his couch for a minute. He couldn’t help but shake the bad feeling he had earlier. Something just did not feel right to him.

“I need to stop worrying.”, Jason mumbled to himself as he walked over to his fridge to grab a beer. He downed half the bottle and thought for a second. What else did he have to do to get ready, he only had a little over an hour left. Suddenly, he saw headlights in his kitchen window. He walked over to the back door and saw Aaron pull up and get out. Jason opened the door and grabbed a couple duffel bags from his closet.

“Load about a third of it into here and put it in your trunk under some of those blankets.” Jason pointed to his couch. He had a pile of blankets laying over the back of it. Mark then walked in also. “Mark, you do the same. Load up a third of the green into a bag and throw it under some blankets in the trunk.”

“You got it boss-man”, said Mark, slightly sarcastically, as he began to pack up the bag. “Mannn, this Pineapple express looks GOOD! Look at all those hairs, that shit is practically all orange!” Mark got excited about the bud. Jason couldn’t blame him, it was good stuff.

“You guys can each get a zip when we get back, as thanks for helping me out tonight.”, said Jason to his friends.

“Nah, dude, we couldn’t. We’re your friends, it’s what we do.”, said Aaron, completely sincerely. Deep down, however, he knew Jason never left them short on gratitude.

“No I insist. I’m gonna leave it with you guys. If you don’t want it, put it in the trash, cause I’m not taking it back. So you might as well accept the gift.”, Jason said. He felt he could never thank his friends enough for some of the stuff they do for him.

They finished loading up the cars, and then Jason headed into his detached garage to get his truck. Jason had an older-model Dodge Durango, and man was that thing a sleeper. It was originally his father’s truck, and was given to him as a gift on his seventeenth birthday. He loved that truck, and it always did him well. As soon as he had the money, he swapped a 500 horse, viper SRT-10 motor into his baby. He perfected everything he could on that car, and man did that truck purr.

He started the truck, and rolled it forward. When it was near his door, he grabbed his bag and threw it under the back seat. He ran inside and took his MAC-10 from his gun safe. Heading over to his friends, who were standing next to his truck waiting for the plan, he handed his 9mm pistol to Mark.

“Be careful with that man, only use it if you have to. Who knows what might happen tonight.” Jason said to his friend. Mark nodded. “Alright, so we’re going to all head to Sir Aaron Gozlan’s residence.”, he joked. Aaron smiled. “Aaron can lead, I’ll follow a few car lengths behind, and Mark you take the back. Keep an eye out for anyone trailing us, just in case.” They each agreed to the plan and shook hands, getting into their respective cars.

They pulled out, and Jason let Aaron get going for a few seconds before he pulled out. He gave the thumbs-up to Mark and headed out on the road. It was a chilly night, colder than he expected for being so late in the spring.

They began the drive to Aaron’s, which was only about ten minutes away. Heading down the road, Jason looked up at the sky. The moon was covered by dark, ominous gray clouds. There was a cold breeze and he rolled up his window. He zoned out and began to think back to his earlier daydream.

All of the boys standing there in the woods, laughing. Jason was such a lightweight then, he fondly remembered countless times of smoking less than a half gram of dank and giggling uncontrollably, which was usually followed by a quick fridge-raid. These times he missed the most, when everything was so simple, he had few worries, and he was still such good friends with everyone. Jason thought back to when he began dealing, his sophomore year of Highschool. He originally just wanted to push enough bud to cover his smoking and maybe net a couple bucks on the side. It offended Dirk when he started, though, because he thought Jason was going to steal his brother’s business.

“I told Kevin I’d pick up from him if he was fair about prices, but come on dude the last three ounces I got were all low quality and skimped. I can’t just hurt myself because I don’t want to offend your brother, he did it to himself.”, Jason had told Dirk one day. This was one of the first fights they really had. Dirk, understandably, wanted to support his brother, and Jason couldn’t stand being ripped off any longer. He went out of his way to avoid Kevin’s business, but sometimes it just happened. He had better quality and better bags than Kevin, and that’s just the way it was.

A bright light blinded Jason and he was startled from his thoughts. Some asshole had their high beams on behind them and it was really bugging him.

“Hey! Cut that shit out!”, called Jason to no one in particular. “What the fuck is that guy doing?” Suddenly, Jason felt a knot in the deep pit of his stomach. “Mark!”, he yelled. “Mark, look out!”

 
Is that all hes got so far? Its not bad but its definitely not on the same level as the heroin dealer story. This dude is a pretty decent writer though. Kept my attention.

This is GOOD.
 
maybe he's not as ingrained with multiple dealers like the heroin story, but heroin is a lot more serious that weed haha. and there's murder in this story, too, so i feel like they're pretty even.
 
Probable nans from somebody who just smokes mad bud. They focused too much on pineapple express.

Pretty well written for the most part though. I'll keep reading, I'm bored.
 
Not even done with the first page and this is such bullshit. Obvious nans is obvious.

Fuck I just posted again. But I shall continue reading. Bullshit, but I'm intrigued.
 
Word. Now i know that nobody was claiming any of this shit was real.

The obsession with pineapple express had me going lol bunk from the start. If the over the top "zomg marijuana dealers" wasn't enough.

Would be much more believable if they were slinging something else. Dude has some really good writing skills, if he didn't make it so over the top I think I'd enjoy it more. Solid writing, paints a good picture, nice movement. I dig it.

I like things to be at least mildly plausible though. Def a good read so far if you can over look some of the ridiculousness.

Also op, why the fuck would you post some of a story that isn't finished.

 
Well hey, I hadn't gotten that far yet. i was posting as I went.

Plus I figured from the start there would be a lot of embellishment. Dimers become pounds, arguments become gun battles, shit gets unreal. Didn't think the story was going to get that out of hand. Honestly it could probably sell though. I mean hell, pineapple express did awesome and that was a horrific screen play.

To op, has that poster written anything else? Would be interested in reading something that was a little more believable. I'll def finish this story though whenever it's posted.
