I tried becoming a drug lord in uni
>take an arts course for a relax one semester
>it's full of obvious druggy scum
>after talking to some, find one that seems a bit smarter, let's call him Nick, find out he has a plan of making it big and selling marijuana
>he knows his shit, starts telling me about how he dries the leafs and stuff like that
>I don't really know much about it because I've never done it myself, but ask him how much he has
>"oh man I have fucking tonnes of plants"
at this point I connected the dots, this is a very exploitable situation. the following greentext takes place over a few weeks
>consult another druggy, let's call him Jarred
>straight away starts telling me about costs, uses, sales etc.
>ask him if he wants to make some money, obviously he says yes. tell him to sell $60/g (this is cheap in my area) at $10/g commission
>go back to Nick
>give him an offer, $250/10g, and if things go smoothly will step the quantity up
>transfer Marijuana from Nick to Jarred, Jarred sells it for $600, keeps $100, I pocket $500 leaving me $250 up
went all as expected. I did this 3 times over the course of a month, stepping up the quantities selling. All up I made $2,500 pure profit. I was planning on expanding by getting more sellers, investing in Nick's flat by buying more equipment etc. then Nick fucked up and his flat got raided. finished operations and shook hands with Jarred, went separate ways.
all in all I learnt one important lesson, being a manager is fucking easy. I put maybe 5-10 hours into this once the operation began and ended up with $2500.
