The dope game is way harder than it seems...

[2manyFCKNrappers]

You are missing the point ENTIRELY.
There is no play it smart.
It's all an unnecessary risk.
Go back and read my original post.

I read it. There are plenty of anomalies out there that directly go against the statistics and probabilities that you are referring to. There are no guarantees In the dope game like there aren't any in any given setting where there is high risk and reward.

It gets even harder the more people that know your business. Why make this thread?

To open minds and save young brothers who feel like they just gotta have the new Jordans...

You're not getting a pound for 250. Not even of garbage. Oz with good connects will go for 200-270. Not bows

you wrote bows.. as in an eLBow...
havent heard that term in so long.




but yeah, $250 a LB??? that isnt goods. more like realllly shytty regs or doodoo mids coming out of mexico

Man let me clear some shyt up in this thread because theres a little confusion/misinformation going on.

First off @B86 and the people talking about pounds for the $250 from TX are not lying . At one one point I was personally getting them for $300 from Houston on a regular basis . It was one of the best licks I ever had in the dope game because I was bringing the lb's to Florida and selling them as mid for $1000-$1200. This quality of weed was good but it wasn't loud. You've never been able to get gas that cheap. And if I got a batch that couldn't pass as mid,then I jut sold it as reggie and still came up cause the lb's was so cheap.

And remember, everyone wasn't smoking loud exclusively like today, so reggie and mid was still a big thing. So if you had a connect out of TX then you was straight because you can buy it for reggie prices and sell it for mid in a different state. Midgrade weed has always been a bullshyt weed dealers marketing scam because it's all subjective, but that's another subject.

So yeah, those prices are true. and it was not dirt weed. It just wasn't gas. My homeboy was from a place in Houston called Homestead, and we made trips at lest once a month. I remember feeling a certain type of way when the nikka went up to $400 on me

so basically you're saying that texas heads were getting ounces for about $16 dollars and flipping them at a 3220% profit almost??




of course you can get lost in the profit game, get greedy and you ruin your life by catching charges is you're unlukky

 

[Monster]

fukk it

 

[Entrapta310]

Only blacks & Mexicans think 'everyone gets caught.

White college kids Do not get caught, and they make a lot of money. Not cause they're better, it's just a different world

why even bring up them dorm white college kids who's parents pay their education and give them allowance and they still deal drugs for extra money rather than get a job.

i say those kids arent hustlers.. they have rich parent privilege

You can tell who the old nikkaz and the young nikkaz are in this thread.

Back in the day weed was WAY cheaper than it is today. Weed market got y'all fooled just the anything else in stores today. Yea there is better quality but the markup shouldn't be that high.

Also y'all refuse to remember that we all don't live in the same part of the country. Weed in Cali is much cheaper than East Coast because of it's availability.

I stopped smoking about 15 years ago but I can promise you that what y'all paying for and the quality isn't that much different. What y'all are calling loud was nothing different than lemon and chocolate thai back in the day.

They don't understand marketing and mark up (supply demand) at all apparently...
Also weed wasn't a fashion statement back in the day...
The thought process was "When I smoke it do I get high and stay high for a while"

It wasn't "Oh I got the (insert name here)"

To make the real profit margins you had to get it from TX and take it somewhere else. Weed was cheap all throughout TX because of the close proximity to Mexico. Ounces in Houston was going for $20 at the time. You still had to bring em back on the road though and them dug interdiction cops ain't no joke in that area. They know exactly what be going on

 

[Ol’Otis]

Might as well open a weed shop

Where yall at where you copping $200 ounces?

I pay $110 for a 1/4 OZ

also...selling drugs was covered in the book Freakanomics.
They did a study...and found when you add up all the expenses...the average drug dealer makes less than a Mcdonalds worker.

Also...its possible to sell weed and not get caught.
I know a few people that did it for awhile...stacked their money, and got out.
Its all about what your clientele is like.

If youre dealing w/ regular working people...you'll be alright.
Dudes fukk up when they get into the open air market...or too many people know their business.

the averagre drug dealer they probably did the study on was small time hustlers flipping ounces for a $20 profit probably. bulk equals profit.
some dope boys play the qp game and make an extra $300 out it. factor in gas, supplies, i can maybe see that statement true
but thats if your profit margin is so low its so stupid to even play the game

but $55 an 8th aint that bad... as long as its good shyt.

they werent dealing w/ big timers...they were talking about your average cat out there on the street.

They factored in jail, bail, money lost from being in jail, lawyers, etc...
Basically all the shyt that comes with the game.
