Dealers when they meet new users who have no experience with the drug, especially a powerfully addictive one .... usually give the first few doses for free.
Hopelessly addicting someone to a drug for life far outweighs the little you lose by giving them the first few doses for free.
Pharmaceuticals do the same thing by handing out free samples of new medications to doctors who give them for free to patients. This was the sales model that set off the whole opioid epidemic we're dealing with now.
That's why that Klingon is working in a crappy side street stall .... she's got a terrible sales strategy. The Klingon Empire would benefit from taking a page from Purdue Pharma.
Except this is mimicking a scene in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” where the dealer spots them as an easy mark so he knows he can overcharge them for what he’d probably give away to a non addict in order hook them. In case you weren’t aware, if you were running with another gag sorry I missed it 🤗
No dealer has ever offered me free drugs.
That business model is exclusive to extremely physiologically addictive drugs, like heroin and meth. Is that generally your market?
Pro tip: tell lots of dealers it's your first time. Free drugs for a while.
Also tell them it's your birthday.
Yeah, but then all the dealers start singing happy birthday as they bring my crack out to me and it's really embarrassing.
