I'm sure I'm just being stupid, but I found a hair in my drugs. Bad vendor opsec? Should I tell them?

Oh god, this sounds real fucking stupid, but I found a hair in my drugs. I feel like I should tell the vendor, I'm sure leaving prints/DNA/etc isn't a good idea. I'm not fussed cos I just tossed it away, obviously. Do you guys think I should say anything?

I don't get the downvotes on this. It's a legitimate question.

I, personally, would tell the vendor. It may or may not be important to him/her, but you won't know until you tell them.


[36 Points] None:

Are you envisioning that LE would find this hair and then run it into some national DNA database to find out who the perpetrator is? While that is possible, it is extremely unlikely. DNA is usually used to clear (or convict) a person. In other words, they have evidence (say from a rape) and then they try to tie it to a suspect.

There is a national database of DNA, but it isn't very extensive. I doubt LE would go to the expense of running a hair against a national database when there is almost no chance of a match.

It is primarily used for sexual assault and homicide.

Most British drug acquisition ever.

"Should I tell the waiter?"

"Don't make a fuss dear."

If ever there was proof of gentrification of the drugs trade...

What exactly was this vendor selling? At the very least you should chew him out for being a slob: the Grand Wizard would be most displeased to find somebody's hair in his morning bowl.

You would say something in any other market right? I would.

I used to find hair in brick weed, i always figured it was some Mexicans hair


[12 Points] The_New_XK:

Or... it's the best OPSEC ever. Add random hairs found on the bus in order to throw everybody off.


[8 Points] GoAwayThrowaway420:

are you sure it was a human hair? occasionally i'd pick up a dog hair while sacking stuff up back in the day. there have even been a time or 2 i'd find a hair longer than 6 inches in the middle of a brick. nothing beats mexi brickweed attached to some mexican's hair. i may have made a "no strings attached" sale to a buddy

I once got a 10 strip with a pube on one of the tabs. I wondered the same thing as you.

Send it back to the cook.

Waiter, what is this eyelash doing in my cocaine? Getting high as fuck.

Could be worse I remember a post before where someone ordered from stealthbomber and there was a big green booger on the pack. Couldn't find the post but the guy included pics and it was gross.

Not as bad as when a vendor accidentally sent an rx note with their full name,city, state on it. It was a HUGE vendor too. They're really lucky i wasn't a dick.

Tell the vendor, you wont know if they care or not until you tell em. Worst case is they ignore it.


[2 Points] cactuzxx:

Just blackmail the fuck out of the vendor. Tell him you'll shop him into pigs if he doesn't send through 1k of your poison

Yeh dont worry about the draino,spoiled baby formula from a dumpster etc its cut with or the fact it was made in filth or may have been transported up someones arse, but freak out about a hair.Maybe the next pill you drop should be a fish oil they say it is good for the brain.


[2 Points] AMomentOfScience:

Are you sure it wasn't your hair?


[1 Points] throwawayz4dayzndayz:

Lemme guess, you got some wax and there was like a eyelash or arm hair in the crumble? Has happened twice with a vendor I've used.


[1 Points] sullyrb:

i got some awesome weed full of hair, was it whiteyford? I'm guessing he has long hair which is usually a good thing when buying weed from a guy


[1 Points] ButterflyAttack:

I've had this happen before now a couple of times, and I've not said anything. I'm not going to eat it, so I don't really care. Is must likely to being to whoever last chopped the drugs up - your dealer. It'd be nice of you to have a quiet work, just because the dealer shouldn't be leaving DNA in the product, it's dangerous.


[1 Points] buttmunch5k:

Equally stupid retort: how are your sure it wasn't one of your own hairs? For real if you look around your counter tops and your floor. People shed more hairs than you think... eyelashes, eyebrows, armhair, pubes, facial hair, depending on how much of a man you are, chest hair and back hair. even just the process of opening the persons package chances are you're gonna lose/pickup a few during the process. now will any of these end up in the baggie? probably not, but maybe so! either way, if you,re doing coke on a regular basis i would say a stray hair is the least concerning "cut" ever. Levamisole is much more concerning than a stray eyelash.

Sure feel free to let the vendor know, but keep in mind if you're snorting it, going through a gram (even alone) im sure you're going to inhale a nose hair or two of your own along the way, (maybe more!). And as others have noted the chance of an investigatory body linking said hair, back to the vendor, via DNA is infinitesimally small.


[1 Points] Cloud_Rd:

Always err on the side of caution. You aren't committing some mortal crime by letting the poor fellow in on it. Just let them know that you caught some hair in your last batch, and wanted to make sure they knew about it so that they can have the opportunity to tighten up their OpSec. I don't see why any vendor would be anything but happy with you for sharing your discovery. Not like the vendor wants to end up in prison, you feel, mate?


[1 Points] madisonrebel:

Dude, everyone finds a hair in their bud eventually. Hippies don't like haircuts.


[1 Points] None:

It probably wouldn't hurt to t least mention it to the vendor, if you're lucky they may give you a reward for it. =)

Slightly off topic, but there was a murder case in my country (it was a gang thing). They killed this guy in a pub and in front of his son and all the other customers - there was a big sporting event on the TV at the time and the place was busy. After the killing they threw a bag of random hair and stuff around the place so that the DNA was all mixed in. How's that for devotion to OPSEC lol!

And also, everyone was so focused on that gross bag that they couldn't ID the killers properly. They got away with it as far as I know although it was one of those cases that it's an open secret that everyone knew who did it.

Was it a púbic hair or a normal one? I f it is curly means is a púbic one though...
