Im the same, I don’t know maybe we look different with and without our partners but they never seem to come my way and Im 23 and partying.. Its bizarre. I have been offered once by an Indo business man on Kuta beach who couldn’t even speak properly and was zig zaging trying to get every western he could.. Im with Adam on this one, Double 6 is the main offender. I went there maybe 6 months ago, it was absolute hell. He had Western customers even coming up to us explaining how we should buy his ecstasy because “they were now so off there face like never before”
When I was younger, maybe 17 or 18 I went there in a big group and they sold a product called Bliss everywhere – chemists, minimart, circle k, warungs, bintang supermarket, bali deli. which was far stronger than normal ecstasy that I had tried, I played with fire so badly and I was so incredibly lucky to not have got burnt! The drug days only lasted 1 or 2 I think and then it was over for good. So so stupid of me, if I had of been arrested which I was pretty damn close to it I would be at fault, not the system, not the corrupt cop trying to get me to pick up a wallet in a nightclub telling me there was lots of money. No one else but me. It could have been paranoia or it could have been reality who knows but I learnt pretty damn quick,.
In regards to these people selling, my friend(currently in jail) has said the locals get reduced sentences doing it. Its not the police, its already convicted offenders who had no legal support and have received massive sentences and they get reduced sentences by doing so.
I don’t think anyone would really know the truth about them though
