Okay, so check this out. I gotta tell you about this thing I was messing with the other day. It’s about, uh, like, fronting your drugs. Sounds sketchy, right? But hear me out.

It all started when my, uh, “friend” was in a real bind. No cash, but a serious need. So, he hit me up, desperate. Now, normally I wouldn’t even consider this, but I’ve known this dude for ages. Plus, he’s good for it… usually.
First, I had to figure out how much I could even risk. I mean, I ain’t made of money, ya know? I went through my stash, figured out what I could spare without, like, completely screwing myself over. It was a calculated risk, man.
Then came the hard part: the negotiation. We talked price, quantity, and most importantly, a damn deadline. I made it crystal clear: this ain’t a loan, this is a short-term thing. Pay up, or face the music. I know, I sound like a gangster, but gotta protect yourself, right?
I packed up the goods – carefully, I might add. Measured it all out, made sure everything was on the up-and-up. No shorting him, no screwing around. I’m not trying to ruin anyone, just help a brother out… with a profit margin, of course.
The hand-off was quick and clean. No witnesses, no problems. Just a quick exchange and we went our separate ways. Now, all that was left to do was wait. And sweat.
The deadline came and went. Radio silence. I started to get that sinking feeling. Was I gonna get burned? Was this the end of our friendship? I started drafting some strongly worded texts in my head.
Then, out of the blue, the payment arrived. On time, no excuses, not a penny short. Relief washed over me. Maybe this fronting thing wasn’t so bad after all.
Here’s the thing I learned: If you’re gonna front, you gotta be smart about it. Know your client, set clear expectations, and be prepared to walk away if things go south. It’s a risky game, but sometimes, it can pay off. Just don’t blame me if you end up regretting it.
- Know your limits.
- Set a firm deadline.
- Be prepared for the worst.
Would I do it again? Maybe. Depends on the situation. But I’ll definitely be a lot more cautious next time. It’s a lesson learned, that’s for sure.
