Dealing Coke

This has completely redefined any notion I had that dealing would be a good get rich quick job. Dealing always seemed to enticing, but now it seems like a lifestyle rather than a job. I would never want my life controlled like that.

A lot of dealers don't They start and they get sucked into it and it's hard to get out. This guy seems smart though...smart enough to be able make a living without drugs. I think this guy has a pretty good chance of getting out. I mean...how many dealers do you know that actually treat it like a business keeping deals on a spreadsheet and study law on the side? This guy is a smart cookie.

I find stupid the fact that he says "I am not going to feed my kids whit this" yet he still do it

What he means by this is that when he has kids, he won't be feeding them with food bought with drug money. That is why he wants out

it really bothers me how drugs are so comon thing whit you,here is spain almost all the people I know do drugs a lot and people even smoke in public whit everyone looking.and you just keep doing and see it as something normal

I wish that could happen here...the U.S. needs a sensible war on drugs, not a war to terrorize normal people and waste extravagant amounts of money

so I also find stupid the thing of people that comsume them a lot and them get sad and depressed about it

That's a complicated issue. A lot of people end up getting depressed because of money issues or other such things and drugs are a good way to spend their money in their eyes because it's the only thing that makes them feel better. I can attest to this when I was really depressed nothing I spent my money on made me feel better. Not new clothes, seeing a movie or anything else that's normally fun. Getting high gave me an escape and it helped me carry on. It's at this point that it's easy to get addicted and end up spending more money on drugs and essentially lock yourself into that pattern. I was lucky enough to be able to figure out how to get myself out of the mess I was in and have been on the road to bettering myself and getting myself to where I want to be in life. I still get high, but I understand that it's for recreation and I won't let my life be directed by it. So when I see addicts, I feel sorry for them...I never used to understand why they became addicts until I was put into a situation where I could have been locked into an addiction lifestyle.

If he really wants to sell his business, he should invest in one of these:
