    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...

    Yes, but the production of oil, steel, coltan, clothes, etc. etc. all hurt poor people as well.

    Smokers are more prone to developing respiratory illnesses, and have more severe symptoms when they do, and end up taking more sick days than non-smokers. They are also more likely to develop dementia later in life. Consider yourself lucky...so far.

    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.

    I lived in Colombia for 5 months last year. You can buy a gram of coke off a random guy in a pub for 15,000 pesos which is about a fiver. I'm pretty sure if your gonna buy 454 of them then the cost per gram would be considerably cheaper. You would get a lb of good quality rock cocaine for 1,500€ provided you had a good supplier. Basic economies of scale...

    If a government regulates production, then it doesn't have to be harmful; production of oil in the US is worlds away from production in Nigeria. And if cocaine were legal, and its production regulated, it could theoretically help poor people in producing countries. But you still have the effects on the end users, and I see no way around that issue.

    Why would you love to get into the market...

    what's the appeal?
    I'd love the wheeling and dealing part of it. The haggling and banter.
    It would be satisfying too knowing that you're helping people to have a good time. I wouldn't be a real agro dealer. I'd try be a fair as possible.

    As I said in my earlier post, a cigarette addiction may have negative health effects, but nowhere near the personal and social harm of a crack cocaine or meth addiction.

    Wel as we seen during the reign of the Head Shops their is a huge market for Psychoactive substances in this Country Recession or no Recession...
    I was looking at some Legalhigh Website few days ago think its Switzerland & you can buy 10kg of Mephedrone 99.8% pure for €22,500
    Think thats sells for €50 per gram so thats 1000 grams x €50 = €50,000 x
    10kg = €500,000 so if you cut it down with something else you could easily make €1,000,000...
    Cant beleive that stuff was legal here 1 time :eek:

    No. Between being against the concept of hard drugs and against the concept of taking money from idiots, plus the illegal factor, there are 3 good reasons not to.

    The wonderful thing about selling cocaine is once you make your first sale, that's the market cracked.Your social life will take off as your door bell will be going off at 4am on any given night of the week and you will learn a fascinating array of reasons why people can't pay for something they're trying to buy.

    I lived with a coke dealer for a brief time.

    Butler: Sir, a customer is here. He want to buy a gram.

    Me: Tell him to go away, i'm in my champagne bath.

    Butler: Sir, he says it's an emergency.

    Me: Meh, give him some sugar and mix it with horse polish.

    I did not know that there was such a thing as horse polish.Does it work better than the ol Manitol/Pseudephidrin/Acetone blend that most poor clowns end up buying?

    People polish horses?I want to polish my neighbour's dog

    No. The people I sell it to could die. That just seems wrong somehow.
