Following your dreams might not be all that it seems.
Drugs are illegal, well most of the ones with any worthwhile recreational effects will have some sort of legal penalties in some form. Possession is one thing but actually selling those drugs ups the stakes and the sentences obviously increase. Are you willing to take that risk?
Being in a position where you have the knowledge and connections to sell drugs doesn't mean that you can cope with the mental pressure this puts you under. Providing a service for people where they will get the best available products at a reasonable price without having to deal with the stereotypical scary dealers sounds like a consumers dream. But coping with the stress this puts you under is a different story.
Before you start selling drugs you have to ask yourself: Do I have the time to do this? Being a drug dealer is a 24-hour job, where sleep can often be interrupted by a phone call from people in particularly more high spirits than you.
Having access to lots of drugs isn't all it seems. The temptation is constantly there and when the new batch arrives and is better than last weeks then surely you would want to take it. And of course if you are doing your job properly then trying it before you sell it has to be the case, but when the next week's batch is even better you are obviously taking too much. It takes a toll.
With drugs everyone experiences the highs and the lows. Being in a club where everyone including one of your favorite DJ's are on possibly the best pills in the world can be an amazing feeling even sober. But is this worth the paranoia answering the phone gives you even from recognized numbers that could easily have been taken over by the authorities trying to set you up?
It would seem the more you live your dreams the more you become paranoid. It doesn't seem real that you can get away with doing what you always wanted to do. But when you wanted to give people happiness did you ever realize that happiness from drugs doesn’t always last? Seeing your friends struggling to cope with the day after is not fun especially knowing that without you this might not have happened. Everyone has a conscience and everyone has a breaking point but when everyone around you including yourself is suddenly realizing (again) that some things are best kept to special occasions and having them around you all the time makes this a lot harder.
In an ideal world drugs would be legal and controlled by the government, available without all the hassle that you always seem to go though, but this world is not ideal and nor is being a drug dealer. Risking your future for the sake of other people's happiness and money is not a good idea. There are plenty of legal ways to make people happy and get money so taking an illegal route is not the wisest of options.
If you are reading this thinking I can get drugs cheap and I know I can sell them then think again. Even though you might be able to do this it doesn't mean you can cope with the paranoia doing something you know is wrong can give you. To most people you might look like an everyday person going about your day but deep inside you know you are doing something illegal. This thought can make you incredibly paranoid even to the point where you change things about your life just to make sure. Do you really want to have to live in a life of uncertainty, a life where one little mistake could cost you your future? I hope not.
Even though taking drugs responsibly is becoming more and more accepted in western societies selling drugs is a totally different story. Buying a few more pills to sort out you and your friends is considered dealing. Not to mention just passing a drug to a person even if no money changes hands in the eyes of the law is solicitation meaning a heftier sentence would be given.
If you yourself are careful about your activities that doesn't mean the people you sell to will be. Someone could quite easily overdose or have a bad reaction. Do you think you could cope with knowing it was you who sold them that?
Basically what I am trying to say here is being a drug dealer is not as glamorous as you first perceive it to be. It's not an advised career and I hope from reading this you will think again before engaging in such a serious illegal activity.
