Bullshit, street dealers will sell to anyone that drops a window and asks
the price.
You need to do more research into real world drug mechanisms. Anonymity is
used heavily via the 'cell system' that is very commen at all levels and
types of drug users from pot on up. Ideally the only party in any given
'cell' (ie group of known to each other dealers/users) that generaly knows
a particular source is usually one person. Of course familiarity does
breed contempt...
Generaly any given party in a drug chain knows only the parties on both
sides of him (assuming he isn't a end user), who he got it from and who
he gets it from. The rest of the players are anonymous.
