A) I "double endemptified" as I liked to call it.  Meaning I doubled my investment everyweek.  I bought a pound of the best green weed for $1,600 and sold eighths at school for $25 each making $3,200.  Took me around 3 weeks to run out.  Yes father was a west point grad, both parents well educated.

B) I did read the source, I thought you didn't?  I'll look again.

D) They might get hired.   They have a better chance at working in a cocaine distribution house than bank of america.


A) So yeah.... you weren't a real drug dealer more or less.  At least not in the way most people are... this might help.

D)  Where they could steal the cocaine and use it or sell it on the street?   To work in  cocaine distribution house, chances are they'll want someone who doesn't even know what it looks like before they hire them.



A) You mean i wasn't a little thug working in a ghetto, being told what to do. Correct. I get your point though, little gang bangers don't make the same amount as a suburb dealer. Point taken. But it is a source of income to the gang operation as a whole. Isn't it obvious we should go after their profits? D) If employees are paid well they don't steal. Pot heads work for pot growers and dispensaries.. I see it as an issue but one that could be overcome.


A) Those are the people you are worried about afterall.   It is worth noting too.... gangs existed long before they sold drugs.  If you read the previous link, you'd note that a lot of gang violence is actually curbed by older members because it disrupts the drug scene.

People feel less safe making deals when their is constant drug sales.   By taking away their revenue, you take a way a lot of the older peoples reasons for being in the gang.  While the younger people are more about just committing violence becauset they're made at society and coming up in the quick"dirty" ways like stealing.

 

D) That's not really true.  Union wharehouses for supermarkets for example see TONS of theft.  When I worked at GM people were stealing shit from their left and right... and being a car manufacturing plant, there wasn't even that much stuff worth stealing.  You pretty much can't stop theft, but you can lower it, and the methods for lowering it generally involve heavy background checks.

 

E) As for how cocaine gets cheaper as it goes?  Well lets ask an expert looking at another source.

"The average drug trafficking organization, meaning from Medellin to the streets of New York, could afford to lose 90% of its profit and still be profitable," says Robert Stutman, a former DEA Agent. "Now think of the analogy. GM builds a million Chevrolets a year. Doesn't sell 900,000 of them and still comes out profitable. That is a hell of a business, man. That is the dope business."

 

The numbers here... $2000 a Kilo, the producer can sell it for $200 and stil make a profit.   So, 1000 grams in a kilo.   Producers can sell it for... =  $0.20 a gram.

$6,600 for a Kilo retail divided by $1000?   =  $6.60 a Gram.  Uncut.  Still profitable in the black market.
