There was one time a client asked me to do something "out-of-the-ordinary" I'd say while I was transporting her and I wanna get some opinions/feedback from others if you don't mind...

So the night goes by where I finish the regular outcalls with my client but then I get asked if I could take her to her local weedman to pickup some "green". At first I was really hesitant because I knew it was illegal but I've worked with this client many times before and I felt comfortable in helping her out this one time... So I did the deed for her and take her back to her location and the night ends well with a pretty huge tip. The thing with me now is, what if I get asked again in the future to do that favor? It hit me when I woke up the next day that I knew I shouldn't have...it felt unprofessional on my part but now I really don't mind losing that client when I refuse to do it next time.

Has anyone else been in this sort of situation? How would you have handled it? Would that even bother you, unless you were getting a good tip or maybe a share of the "green" lol? if you agreed, did you feel bad afterwards? Cuz I sure did, and it sucked

You feel guilty for taking a chick to pick up some "green" after driving her around all night turning "tricks"?
Do you have a dual conscience?

lol not really. I guess I just see that as their profession, unlike standing on the corner soliciting prostitution. But marijuana is marijuana, unless you have a prescription for it and buy it from a legal source then picking it up from your local dope man in the hood is another thing if you get what I'm saying...

Something tells me this thread won't last long.

It's a legitimate question. I go see a provider for a session ... that's one thing. If she is carrying controlled substances ... that carries a different set of risks.... I'll take my chances on beating a solicitation rap versus a controlled substance charge...

Providing security for a provider plying her trade carries one set of risks .... the risks for providing security for a controlled substance run ... carries a different set of risks ... perhaps a different fee structure would be in order... or at the very least ... lay out up front what your fees and services cover...

Keeping hobby activities far away from illegal substances is a very wise idea. Hobby activities are notoriously hard to prosecute, but the prisons are full of folks who've been caught with recreational substances in the vicinity.

Morally, I have no problem with drugs, but in terms of liability, it's a huge risk.

I agree that it is a legitimate question and hopefully since there is no mention of use the question can remain.
As a professional Chauffeur what are the limits of your knowledge in this case? Are you expected to know whether a person is carrying an illegal substance, or a concealed handgun or, as part of doing your job? Is it reasonable for you to pat your clients down or do a strip search. It's not a rhetorical question. I'm interested in the legal answer.
Secondarily, How is a limo driver not subject to open container laws? Is it because he is hired to drive?

Ender, I thought the same thing but since there is no mention of use only possession and the question has merit, hopefully the mods and admin will let this progress with close supervision.

#15 - There is no place in our forums for the general discussion or speculation of illicit drug use. This is to be considered a forbidden topic and mention of it will be removed.

You have a fair point, but this is one of those rules I have no problem helping the mods enforce. We're under vice's microscope enough without bringing the narcs in on the action too. This is one of those things that should be discussed through back channels, or better yet not at all.

Excellent point. I knew there was a reason I was uneasy about the topic.
I suggest the OP request that the mods delete this thread.

This is exactly along the lines of what I was going to say.

I had a situation once when a client of mine straight out admitted to me during the session that he was high.

Aside from the fact that this was his first time to see me, and the fact that I had no idea what to expect out of him after that,

it then turned the situation into one or both of us not only engaging in one technically illegal act, but two (or more for all I knew).

And in response to what boardman said, just because someone is willing to committ one type of crime, why does that automatically mean they are willing to do any other? I am an escort but there is no way in hell I would provide minors with cigs or alcohol (just as an example). I'm not having a go at you, just bringing up a point.

So anyways, everyone has to make their own decision about what they are/are not ok with doing with clients.

If you decided after you did it, that you no longer want to do that again, I would say just wait and see if she even brings up again and if so, just be honest with her.

Thanks for your input TMFT.

I pretty much make it my own policy to refuse making those kind of runs altogether simply because the chances of BOTH of us getting caught up with the law or being in danger would be much greater. It's easy to say to LE that I had no idea what kind of business my client was into if they were ever busted in a sting because I'm licensed to provide security to anybody and I usually never ask what they do for a living unless they tell me first, I just get them to where they need to get to safely and without harm. but Mary J is illegal whatever way you put it in that situation and there's no talking your way out of that. That's why I had a huge problem with it and will refuse immediately if asked...

NOTE to Moderators: If I violated any part of the guidelines whatsoever please lock this thread. I know I mentioned an illegal substance but I never said it in context to anybody actually being under the influence of it. However if it still raises an issue your free to close it down. Thanks.
