Living with a Crystal Meth dealer

    So I am over in the UK doing a placement for two months. I am staying in student accomodation. There are only 2 of us living in the flat. The other guys name is James. He had a party last night and I happened to be going to the kitchen for a cup of tea. ( I know. Hardcore.)

    As I was passing the jacks, three lads came out at the same time. A bit odd but you know how metrosexual english boys are. Anyway, around 3AM, I am woken by the housemate screaming at somebody. I hear scuffles and go out the door and see the two laying into eachother. I am like "What the **** is going on here?" The other lad started screaming that James has ruined his life with meth. Lad was in tears. I told them to **** off as I had to work and they promptly went outside. Around 7AM, I hear somebody knocking on my window. It's James having locked himself out of the apartment.

    I go to let him in. He was tweaking like mad telling me that people had followed him from the shop and that his dealer had threatened him with a gun earlier. He had bought 12 packets of ham and a red lightbulb. He then proceeded to tell me his life story, about how he got into dealing and how far he had sunk.( He'd sold crack and meth to pregnant women.) Also, he owed his dealer a fair bit of wedge. ( couple of thousand) Said he wanted to get out but the big dealer was threatening him if he tried to get out.

    Anyway, he ****es on for about 20 mins about how he is scum and I looked for an opportunity to **** off back to the bedroom to get changed for wor. Eventually, he says he is going for a walk. He comes back 10 mins later with somebody and as I am walking out, I see these two older knackers carrying out the widescreen tv from his room. These lads looked rough, full of tattoos and just stared at me as I was walking out the door. I was talking to James there a couple of mins ago and he is in bits saying that they are making him carry the drugs between different locations in the city.

    The thing is that James is a normal enough guy. A bit metro but goes to uni, from a decent middle class background and his life is FUBAR. He claimed to me that he hasn't tweaked in a month or two but obviously he was off his rocker last night. He told me he has been up since midday yesterday. He had also eaten 6 packets of ham.

    So what am I to do? I don't think I want to rat him out as his life is ****ed up enough. I really don't want knackers and meth heads hanging around the apartment either though. Is meth that big in UK/Ireland? I had always associated it more with the US. **** has gone all Corner-esque.

    He had also eaten 6 packets of ham.

    How many slices per pack? Think man, this could be important.

    I dunno, there was like six empy packs on the floor. I'll go ask him.

    Edit: He told me to **** off.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,033 ✭✭✭mauzo

    At least he is considerate replacing the lightbulbs... He's a keeper!

    From what i've learned from breaking bad being a meth dealer is pretty cool.....really adds a bit of excitement to your life

    I paid all my rent upfront unfortunately, stuck her for 4 and a half more weeks.

    Q1. James had 12 packets of ham.
    He got off his face on meth and ate 6 packets.
    How long before James is dead?


  • Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Why did he buy a red lighbulb? do you live in a brothel perhaps?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER


    Was it Dennys or Shaws ham?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭shuridunno


    Run, Run for the hills or just move out, not your problem.

    Fuck that, I'd get the fuck out of there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic


    1. Put red light bulb in front room
    2. open up brothel
    3. profit






    or move out as fast as you can - seriously

    I just have an image of you and your housemate James being like this OP.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,286 ✭✭✭SouthTippBass


    Honestly, this might sound a bit harsh as you seem to want to help the guy (or at least you have sympathy for him) you need to get the fook out of there. No good will come to you from hanging around with this sort of crowd. James made his own mess and its up to him to figure out how to fix it.
    You have more important matters to attend to, like your studies. Move out ASAP!

    I dunno. I just thought it was odd that he bought ham and a red light bulb. I thin he said something about aesthetics when he was raving this morning. Incidentally, he told me he was shifting about 20g of crystal a week. Is that much?


  • Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    man up, just tell the landlord you didnt realise you were moving into a drug den, tell her if you dont get money back you'll call the police and have premises raided.

    You should try some meth.

    Shure what's the ham??

    FYP

    From what I've read on reddit crystal meth seems to be the equivalent of taping a grenade to your face.

    i.e. utter destruction

    Living with a bloke heavily in debt and fearing for his safety... dude move out before he sells off your stuff.

    Or before his scumbag dealer mates come and take your stuff.

    Just move out. Worry about money and **** later.
    Your safety the most important thing.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,427 ✭✭✭Roar


    If Breaking Bad has taught me anything, it's that doing meth and dealing meth is great craic and will have no negative repercussions whatsoever. Go for it.
