Anyone selling an assassin service by cold-texting is not worth your time. Stick with a more reputable vendor.

That's a common misconception. Since the economic downturn high-end freelance assassins have seen demand for services drop dramatically, leaving them with a dearth of opportunities. While many have since moved on to less reputable jobs, such as sabotaging mines, off-shore oil rigs and training law enforcement officials on methods for police brutality, others have decided to stick it out in their chosen field and edge out amateurs. After one successful text in a area, they usually rely on word of mouth to proliferate their services and get them some tail.

Well the same number tried calling me yesterday (this is my work phone). I answered but a bad signal meant we couldn't chat it up.

Hello Kevin,
Is your marijuana supply low? I have obtained a very potent strain and was wondering if you would be interested in buying some.

Good idea, but I've never heard weed referred to as 'kill.' Killah, perhaps. I've also heard good stuff called 'the fire' as well so I guess that is the most likely scenario.

In any case I'd just like a bag of pot, I don't care what outlandish name you came up for it is.

Blaming AT&T is so easy to do. But those bastards deserve it anyway.

The slang terms usually refer to the quality of the marijuana. For instance, "kill" is a shorting of the term "kill bud", which is used to designate marijuana of a high quality. The product you buy consists of the buds from the plant rather than stems and leafs. THC crystals are usually visible to the naked eye. A few grams costs anywhere from $50-100 depending on location and of course quality. On the other hand, lesser quality product is referred to as "schwag". An ounce can be obtained for around $60. However, you're getting a mixture of stems, leafs, and buds. In other words, it is not as potent as "KIll".

Hah, I really don't know why I know this stuff.

I figured it referred to "Top Kill" and he's was offering a solution to capping his leaking oil well.

So.. how does "kill" compare to "chronic"? Some people really pay 50-100$ per gram for weed??? What does it do? I thought they didn't know what they were talking about in American beauty when Keven Spacey paid like 2000$ for a bag of weed...

Maybe someone is just ****ing with you.

When I was in high school my friends and I would look up random people in the phone book and send them bizarre letters just to stir the pot.

Yes, we were bored. Bored and weird.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Chronic technically is laced with Cocaine, as in the Dr Dre use of the term. Usually it is mis-used to refer to dank weed.

Edit: For the second part. Some people tend to get more paranoid off the crappier weed, but as for me the really good stuff just puts me to sleep. At a certain point ($30+ per gram) you are just wasting your money.

Not to kill your buzz (ha) but I am fairly well-versed in all varieties of marijuana. However, the amount of ridiculous terms that are used still amaze me to this day.

If anyone has seen Grandma's Boy, one of my favorite parts is when Alex is buying weed from Dante. Dante says a bunch of ridiculous names and whatnot and Alex says, "We go through this every week, I don't care what it's called, I just want a bag of ****ing weed."
