Reno man searches for “pot dealers in Reno” on Google, finds nothing, gets beer instead

Reno, NV - Local man, George Scripts, was looking to score a few blunts on the evening of Saturday July 13^th, but couldn’t find any useful drug dealer contact information on the internet. “I typed in a million different combinations, but couldn’t find a phone number or an address or even a picture of a bathroom stall with a sharpie saying ‘joints and cockrubs out back’. Nothing, so I just went and got a tallcan of PBR.” Scripts then drank the PBR on the front porch of his friend Mick Henderosn.

“Google is pretty useful for a lot of things,” Scripts admits, “But if it can’t even help you score a fatty, then that shows you just how far the technology has to go. There has to be pot in reno. I mean look at all the primered camaros, unmowed lawns and fixed gear bikes!” Scripts says that it is really a shame there isn’t a printed listing or web resource for things like local pot dealers, hired guns and back-alley prostitutes. “You end up just looking for this stuff on the street,” he laments, “and that isn’t safe.”

Scripts says that he has never used marijuana, but that now that he’s an adult and feels reasonably responsible he wants to give it a go. “I have two kids, and I know they’re going to ask me about it some day. I don’t want to have to admit that I never did it.”

“I’ve heard people say that marijuana is a gateway drug,” Henderosn admits, “but when was the last time you really saw a pot head go anywhere? They just sit around talking about going to shred the gnar and rehashing Clerks quotes.”

Henderosn admits that he has done the drug, but can’t remember the last time. “I’ve got a bong in there somewhere,” he says waiving at the house, “but I think we lost the last screen. We don’t smoke that often really. Maybe two or three times a decade.”

“I’m on LinkedIn, Facebook, Plaxo, the works, and I can’t just type in “pot dealer” and come up with something,” Henderosn says. “Makes you wonder what the real value in it all is. I know one of my friends probably has a spare eighth and a pack of zigzags, but you’d never know it for all that social media does for me.”

“They should make a facebook app for it,” agrees Scripts.

Henderosn and Scripts both admit that they have no problem with beer and in particular, tall cans of PBR. There is a large bin on the porch full of smashed cans of MGD, PBR and Olympia attesting to that admission.
