So, since I was thinking to start vending at some point in the future, I was wondering if paranoia was something inevitable to a dealer's life.
Can the anxiety be avoided or it is the just the price to pay for dealing drugs ?

I just sent out some of my first packages this week, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit paranoid about it.
As long as you use legit packaging/stealth and keep it anonymous however, the risk is fairly minimal imo.
There are certain advantages SR has over dealing IRL. Don't have to deal with people who might try to rob you or just flat out never pay you if you front. Don't have to worry about one of your "friends" or other customers ratting you out if they get busted. You don't have to deal with any sketchy situation the street might bring. Instead all you really have to worry about is a package not making it to its destination or a customer trying to scam you and say it never arrived.
That being said, I think most vendors will always have to deal with a degree of paranoia. But if you play it safe it can be minimized.

I am pretty paranoid. Having prior police contact affects that also. When the dogs go beserk, I get worried, but it's generally nothing. The police have to jump through a lot of hoops to get to you. If you are watching your 6, it wouldn't matter anyways because you won't keep a lot of product on hand.

Gotta pay to play :). With paranoia in this instance though.

The more paranoid I feel the harder I work to stay free.
