In the drug world's supply chain they act as intermediaries between retailers (dealers) and consumers. The term is unisex, being used for man or woman. Typical practices include buying at street price then reselling at an inflated price,
cutting the product to stretch it out, just charge money, drugs, sex etc for procurement or they buy in bulk at a discount thats not even close to wholesale prices (often times they don't realize they'
re actually middle-men , are in denial or just plain stupid).
Don't even bother to inquire about their source as they
will take that
secret to the grave. They are even privy towards
homies giving excuses like "the dealer isn't taking new customers", "they'
re not a dealer, they just sell me a lil of their stash" or "I get it strait from the source (but never has large quantities)".
Identifying a potential middleman is easy, common red flags include- over priced; are always out and have to
go re-up; not easy to
get a hold of, sometimes for days; asks for gas money, not meant to be repaid; drugs come packed in torn grocery bags, plastic wrappers, foil etc instead of mini poly bags; asks you to
front the money before they
re-up; cant sell large quantities at a discounted price; rides a bike and not because they want to
"Man, I gotta get a better plug, this fukn guy is charging way to much and the
bag is always short. what gives..."
"What do you expect from a homeless
dude that lives in a tent over by the creek, hes obviously a middleman. Go find a real dealer you
lazy pos"
