There is no need for me to get into specifics to prove a point.

But let me just say the following
The Year was 2005.
I was in Texas.
Ounces were going for $40 to customers.
It ain't that hard to see.
Seeds and stems and everything right?
Had a connection for shytty weed. $40 ounce.

Loud $225....different strains.
Best dude I met in last 5 years....

Had to fall back from that situation

It's crazy how who you know can determine how you look at this shyt. Definitely some rich nikkas out here though don't be foolish.

All that shyt you talking about is apart of the game breh. nikkas going to snitch and rob. Honestly you shouldn't hustle if you can't handle that.

Now where the 2016 licks at fukk all this rely on nikkas in 2016

Need that cpn, swipe , loan, tax, shelf Corp paper

Let's just say you find the connect of a lifetime and can get pounds of good green for $250...

You still gotta resell those pounds...
In the process of selling those pounds you will make a name for yourself possibly creating more business for yourself and possibly putting a target on your back for somebody trying to rob you.

*Also there is the chance that the person buying from you or the connect is being watched by authorities and that they drop your street name and info in cooperation.

It's an extremely troublesome game and if you really understand math and probability selling drugs is one of the worst decisions you can make.
Thank you!!!

Oh, and the Freakoomincs....I hate to sound like that knowledgable a$$hole coming into every conversation, but for those who read Freakanomics, and I did, you would know that study applied to corner boys working blocks in Chicago for heroin dealers, literally moving vials or wraps of heroin, like the entry level/greeter job, like front them 100 packs worth 10$ a piece and they keep 10. The lowest rung in a hierachial structure of organized crime...like a facet of the VL or GD's whatever gang, that where that example comes from. Thats who makes minimum wage....it's not an example to be applied blindly across the trade....

As I said...the average corner dude....which is 98% of the people out there.

Thats not the average person making money with drug....That is a hyper specific example, and not indicative of anything but that example....It's true the average person makes not much or average money, but you can say that about almost any profession, real estate, lawyer, banker.....

.....the average dude in that line of work isn't working for a hierarchal organization on which he is on the bottom....You can say the average low level heroin or crack dealer in an Mexican or Black gang in South Side Chicago, between the ages of 12-22 but not the average person. In San Diego, it's nowhere near that kind of a pyramid, it's more like interconnected cells....

Thread is a mess....you can get get mexican brick pack weed/outdoor/med's from the right person at 250, if you are doing tontas or half tontas.....if you are doing more then that, it goes down....That stuff goes for 100 a kilo in the sierra madres mountains of Sinaloa/Golden Triangle, by the time it comes through San Diego, or El Paso, or Laredo....those packs come through to the border towns at around 500 for the good ones....if you are buying a few dozen.....

now, pounds of indoor/outdoor hyrdo, from emerald triangle or grow houses up and down CA, will not be going for that low. The cheap/good outdoors will hit like 15-16 if you doing a 100 pack, the top shelf are going to be more....

Do tell

lmao can't believe I'm actually commenting in this thread but so much dumb shyt and misinformation has been stated that I almost feel compelled...

One, obviously there's different levels to hustlin, but it CAN be fairly easy to make decent money doing it and not really draw much attention to yourself.

Two, I can't speak on dirt weed, but anything of decent quality (not mids, I mean actual quality greens) goes for anywhere between $2,500 - $4k a pound, depending on the quality, your connect, and how many you get at one time.

So say you get a pound for $2,500. You can easily sell quarter pounds for $1,000 to four different people. That's a profit of $1,500 and you can probably do that once every few days depending on how quickly they can get rid of their product and reup. If they're selling it in little quantities, it'll take them longer, probably a week or so, but it makes sense for them because they'll probably make a profit of $1,000 off their initial $1,000 investment and double their money in a week. So in this example, everyone makes decent money but you're making at least $1,500 a week and only have to deal with 4 people total. They're making less than you are and have to deal with a bunch of customers every day just to make $1,000.

So even conservatively speaking, you can make $72,000/year selling one pound of weed a week and only having to deal with 4 people/4 transactions. That's pretty easy. I know this because I did it throughout college and law school lol

Most people who actually have the ability to be a good drug dealer (good business mind, understand risk, not retarded, etc) aren't dealing drugs in the first place.
People tend to do stuff like that out of desperation, not some calculated business moves.
I've seen some smart dealers though. One I'm getting from now is a clown, per usual.
Give me a pound for $200 tho :steviej:

I had a connect in Clearlake that would give me purple for 650 a lb and blue dream for 500, I would flip it to the clubs for about 1.2k and then I met a dude and we would send it to NC and get about 2.5-3k per lb.

I never understood how cats down south could afford to be pot heads.

I also grew myself and getting 2.5 -5 lbs per plant was pretty easy once you got the hang of it.

I never understood the lifestyle besides the dudes who legit had too, to provide for their family.
For the dudes who could take other options, yes regular jobs won't make that instant money you want, but the risks ratio is just too wild.
You legit have to love and live by money in my opinion, which I don't understand at all.
I'm not the type to dream about the biggest house with the nicest cars and gears though.

bro the average person in ANYTHING is not going to be ballin.
Even in drug dealing the Pareto Principle applies.

Most people are not close enough to the source to buy and deal in bulk to make enough profit to live off of for a long time.
Its just not reality.
