If you could buy a lb of Cocaine for $9,000, and sell it for $150,000, would you?

    In Colombia you can get a pound of cocaine for $9,000. That is worth $27,000 in America, but you dilute it on average 5 or 6 times them. Up to a total of $150,000.

    If you could get away with it, would you? I sure would.

    Go for it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I'd do it for a few 100. I'd love to get into the market but it's hard to get into to. Alot of competition.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    If i had 9.000$ then i could think of a lot more uses for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 723 ✭✭✭Lemsiper


    Yes, you'd be a fúcking idiot to answer no to this question.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,268 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Oh yeah definitely, then go around to playgrounds and sell it as extra-fizzy sherbert. Would make a killing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Heyes


    Id like to just have the 9k :(

    Ya, pretty much everything else was, too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Carl Sagan


    I'd take the 9000, rent a **** apartment and grow a lot of weed. If I wanted to be a dealer that is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,565 ✭✭✭southsiderosie


    No. Drug dealers are the scum of the earth, and cause nothing but death and misery. :mad:

    I'm an idiot then that will sleep well with a clear conscience, and won't when awake, have to be always looking over my shoulder for the long arm of the law to try and grab me.

    Each to their own. I like my families good name and wish to preserve it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm

    Agreed. A pox on the men who sold pints and nurofen to poor Neil Prenderville. His life is ruined now because of drugs.

    Dealing in Drugs is the exact same as selling your soul to the devil. Without a doubt you "could" make money, but its a path of no return, you can't just walk away once you have made your money, you are linked to the drug underworld for the rest of your life.

    There is no such thing as a sensible drug dealer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,573 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I would leave small piles of it on peoples doorsteps for free, all the hip dealers are doing it these days.

    The production of beer and nurofen doesn't fuel civil wars in poor countries, and the sale of both doesn't involve gun-toting 15-year olds and urban pockets of addition that have laid waste to two going on three generations. Cocaine on the other hand...

    For all you wannabe drug dealers out there have a read of this before you make up your mind:

    http://projects.latimes.com/mexico-drug-war/#/its-a-war

    A recent choice entry in Mexico's Drug War:
    Bodies are dangled headless from highway overpasses. Heads turn up in ice chests and trash bags. Corpses are found marked by torture wounds and taunting, hand-scrawled messages. Body parts, rearranged for humiliating effect, are left for all to see.

    Mexicans have watched the carnage — at first with horror and disbelief, but increasingly with a stunned fatigue as drug-trafficking gangs try to one-up rivals or scare authorities with new heights of savagery.
    Sorry to be preachy but if I thought my mates would do what you're proposing I would turn them in without batting an eyelid. Coke tears central American countries apart. Simple as.

    There's also no such thing as the "devil". Fact!

    Probably not. Would be worth it if you weren't caught though. Would take some balls.

    When beer was banned in the States, organised crime thrived. It's the prohibition on drugs that......

    ....actually, I'm not getting into this. I's been done to death.



    *walks away slowly*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭marglin


    ya i would if i could almost definitely get away with it, it's all about risk vs return.

    On the other hand if i wanted to make alot of money by saddling people with huge debts they're never going to pay back, causing alot of misery for alot of people I'd become a banker, far far less chance of going to prison too.:D

    Even if it were legal, and the profit margins were huge, I would never ever sell cocaine, crack, heroin or meth, and I would think poorly of anyone who did.

    How do you know your family has a good name? Is it because you say so?

    Because everyone I've spoken to, has said so! :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,872 ✭✭✭strobe


    Sure, why not. Some people want cocaine. Might as well be money in my pocket rather than anyone elses.

    Do you think badly of barmen? Or newsagent staff?

    If there was a guarantee of not getting caught.........

    I'd be seriously tempted to do it as a once off! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,025 ✭✭✭✭-Corkie-


    I would buy it definitley. Thats because I need it for my own use when I see pointless threads from fellow Corkmen every week on A/H...
