When I started dealing drugs, I did it because my friends and I were smoking trash weed and we wanted to secure a good supply of quality product. It worked out well. My car was clean. I didn’t sell much.
A few years later when I turned 23 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. My life fell apart, I was bedridden, I went through a medical bankruptcy. That is when I began to deal drugs to survive. For a few years I paid my bills by selling weed, ecstasy, adderall, mushrooms, acid from the bed where I spent 95% of my time. My car was dirty.

It’s a broad generalization, I’m not suggesting some new law of nature.

Yes, it is. And imagine doing that for any other group, dividing then into two very opposing stereotypes.

Most drug dealers are literally just regular people. Nothing to it.
