> every Friday and Saturday there was a guy standing at the intersection outside my work at 15th & 9th peddling coke and molly (the guy was standing there, sometimes walking crosswalks and saying out loud "coke, molly, weed"; not yelling, but loud enough that passerby's could hear him).

That's too flagrant to be legit. Did he spend Monday through Thursday listing "solvent traps" on eBay under the username "TotallyNotATF"?

I could understand a dealer "advertising" in the open like that in 70s Detroit or somewhere else where the primary mechanism of "law" enforcement is getting paid by a tax on his profits and not by the city but saying "yo I got drugs for sale" is on a whole different level than standing around.

I honestly don't know if that was a police trap or not. But considering how easy it is to find drugs in NYC I wouldn't be surprised if it was legit. Like ... at least half of chess hustlers look like they're on something.

edit: to be fair -- this may be an act to lure in regular people who may think they have a chance against a tweaker. They don't. Those guys are crazy good.

It’s legit and very common in many, many places throughout the world. It wasn’t a cop trap, people just do that.

Go to Seattle U. District after 10pm. Lots of "youth" advertising "some shit" on the Ave.
