Damn straight. You the man in the hood if your Caddy's got rims.

not to get to far off topic but I'm reminded of the comedian who said spinning rims are the biggest waste of money ever... you can't even enjoy seeing them spin from inside the car. You have to rely on people on the sidewalk "hey man they still spinning?" *thumbs up*

"If you look at 100 drug dealers, 99 will make less than minimum wage. One will make a lot of money. That's the reality on the streets," Venkatesh told me. "It's an illusion that people have that they're going to make a lot of money. That's only the leaders driving a fancy car."


I hear about this from time to time about most drug dealers not making much. What do you guys think? Would you say that the majority of drug dealers don't make shit?

Discuss.

99/10 is a bit steep, I'd say more than half made alot more than minimum wage, Hell I sold crack and heroin for 3 days and the 1st day I made double the minimum wage, the downside was I got arrested after 3 days by undercover's unlike the U.S though here we dont have to pay legal fee's maybe a small fine but nothin huge, so it cost me nothing.
I didnt even have a car I travelled on foot and bike, I had about 10 differant customers, each who would a minimum of 3 wraps at a time and would see me no less than 2 times a day.
If I had a car I could of made alot more money, and wouldnt of been caught so quick.

Also, to say 99/100 dealers will not make more than minimum wage is a pretty stupid comment, you cant say something like that without stating the substances those 100 people were selling, lets be honest someone who sells ectsasy in the UK isnt going to make much money, they will only really sell their warez at the week end and even then they will probably only see about 15 people at the very most.
Were as someone who sells coke is gonna be running round pretty much everyday of the week and will see as many as 40 people a night.

If you wanna make money through selling drugs at street level, weed is the way.


This is not a how to thread.

so basically you dont know shit about it seeing as you only sold drugs for 3 days before getting busted by the police, which is exactly why we are saying that it isnt worth it and you wont make shit money in the end, right>?

No, the moral of my story was if you wanna make money through drugs dont sell Heroin or crack, police have operations on keeping that stuff off the streets were as with weed and other things they tend not too pay asmuch attention.

and for your info the reason I was caught after 3 days was because I was set-up by someone due to me taking their customers, having police on the take like the other fella would of been great but I'd only been selling the stuff for 3 days like said, the other fella has been selling drugs for along time and has never been arrested so what I'm saying is yes drug dealers do make money, but have to be good at business, drug dealing a business and if you treat it as a business it will get far that means looking into customer relations and the law, back handers will get your far.

... you only sold drugs for 3 days before getting busted by the police, which is exactly why we are saying that it isnt worth it and you wont make shit money in the end, right>?

Although some people who engage in dealing will get caught (poor planning and/or business inexperience), in which case, no, you haven't made shit in the long run. But I think the size of this market (drugs being readily available) and the fact that the drug trade exists commonly even within the prison systems... are good signs that probabilities of this scenario are in the lower percentile.

It seems, if it happened more often than not, the drug trade wouldn’t be thriving as it is today. Don’t know for sure, I guess it could be like the Persian Immortals… one taken down, another to fill it’s place… driven by demand and potential profits.

No, the moral of my story was if you wanna make money through drugs dont sell Heroin or crack, police have operations on keeping that stuff off the streets were as with weed and other things they tend not too pay asmuch attention.

I’m sure they would be just as happy to get people for marijuana dealing. They storm homes in no-knock raids for it.

The mistake you made was, not understanding the market competition. It’s immoral, and bad business ethics IMO, that the dealer had a hand in getting you busted, but in general, what he did was good business in his point of view. He drove out the competition. Doing that in such a way though is pretty stupid of him, not knowing who might rat him out in retaliation. Doing stupid things like that, he won’t have a clear record for long.

i love reading about how drug dealers have to be good at business...lol, you just ahve to be good at selling drugs to sell drugs. its not like one day you say, i want to start selling drugs and start out buying multi kilo loads.. you slowly get into it and work your way up the ladder.

you start out hustling small shit, after a while word gets around that you have the good shit for a good price and ppl start coming to you.

and yeah, heroin and coke are $ makers because they are addictive. thats how you make the most $, on the comeback. the first one is free but the next one will cost u kind of thing...it sounds cliche but its true.

Definition of business:
An organization operated with the objective of making a profit from the sale of goods or services.

If your not business minded you might make money, but that doesnt make you a good businessman, you might spend it on shite, instead of investing in other things, or building up savings. You cant sell drugs forever, what are you gonna do when your old and want too stop.

 

[Jake1er]

Ahm.

Jake1er - are you the one that recently went "evil" and suddenly developed antisocial personality disorder with your friend because you think it's somehow cool to have the title of "Psycho/Socio Pathic"


Newsflash: it's a terrible disorder and you both should be ashamed. It's like making fun of someone with cancer.

wrong person?? i never said anything like that

 

[Tytan]

you start out hustling small shit, after a while word gets around that you have the good shit for a good price and ppl start coming to you.

You laugh at the idea of drug dealers needing to be good at business, but...

Hustling? Getting the word around that you have good shit? People start coming to you?

In an illicit market, that is very, VERY bad business. That kind of shit will get you busted, and what then of your success as a dealer? Or should I say, "vendor" just for grins?

 

['medicine cabinet']

^uh yeah...thats not bad for business. its word of mouth. if you are a street level dealer you need clientel like that. the more the better. if you are a distributor, then the less ppl the better...

say you have a bunch of friends that are looking to buy, you call ur dealer and say yea my boys want to pick up, they are cool. in turn one of ur firends tells a friend and so on which means more $ for ur dealer.

u can find dope just about everywhere where i live, and everyone goes to the spots that have the best dope and the best size. it doesnt take much to get the word out.

 

[OcCo]

if you are a street level dealer you need clientel like that. the more the better.

Thats not true, especially when dealing with cocaine and heroin. Greed in any business is not good, and will fuck it up. The more people who know, the more chance you have of being arrested, word of mouth isnt always good.

[OcCo]

I do understand were your coming from, but really m8 it doesnt work that way. At 1st people think yea, lots of customers, are good, just like I did but in the end they can be the downfall, I'm not just talking about unwanted attention by police, I'm talking about other dealers aswell.
If your dealing dope or rock, then a bit of advice would be to only go to peoples houses, most of the people buying heroin and rock stand out like a sore thumb, and all a cop has to do is sit and wait, that person will probably cop 4 times a day, a couple of hours work and then arresting someone selling a Class A drug with the chance that the person may have a large quantity in their house, could mean a promotion for a grass.

 

[cheez_ballz]

medicine cabinet your are giving out some pretty idiotic advice to business, you obviously are not versed in that area

 

['medicine cabinet']

^lmao...whatever broseph.

don't incriminate yourself

what is so difficult about all this. you are making it seem like it is more complicated than it really is. oh wait, im selling dope let me give you my prospectus and business plan.

 

[cheez_ballz]

Quit it.
