    Nothing. You know it's dangerous and stupid or you wouldn't be asking this question here. It's not the only way you can make money, it's the only way you can make money without working for it! It's your life, throw it down the toilet if you want to.

    Do you like getting porked in the butt? Thats what happens in prison or Juvy. Personal use probably won't land you there but dealing sure will

    Well.. I'm 24, i sell drugs (prescriptions are my specialty) and its because I lost a good job, i have a 3 week old daughter, a wife (who doesn't make shit) and a house- if I don't sell, i loose it all. its not about an 'ipod or sneakers' its about paying bills, and buying formula... shit i rarely even eat myself just so my frickin daughter can eat.. I regret every pill i've ever sold, i regret every pill i've ever ate, and if I could give it all back I would- If I had a mommy and daddy that paid for that shit for me, shit... or if I just had a good job again- Shit. The best jobs around me (in indianapolis) only pay like frickin 8.50-10.oo bux an hour without a great college diploma... shit on half of my resumes i lied and said i had an associates... i went to college to become a pro pilot (big mistake) because flying is too fukin expensive thanks to president bush's gas prices. gotta have a ton of flying hours in to get any jobs as a pro pilot to begin with. Life Sucks, Pills suck, Jobs Suck, thats the world we live in. As for your question- kid if ur still a teen, goto college for engineering or become a pharmacist or somethin... do the damn thing while your ahead or you'll end up as a piece of shit such as myself- constantly trying to fix ways to make temporary fixes for a long term problem.

    Brew Guy wishes he was icefishing...

    From personal experiance:
    Through school I saw many people taken down around me who were selling 'hard' drugs (perscription, coke, extasy, etc) by not only local law enforcement, but the feds in some cases. This was enough to get me slightly nervous for my own well being (jail time, fines, etc). When it came to more 'organic' substances (marijuana, mushrooms, opium, etc), law enforcement seemed less concerned with and more concerned with the amount of alcohol being distributed to minors and the 'harder' drugs.

    That being said, there is always "that guy" that is looking to bust on the guy trying to make a buck selling grass. And he is pretty crafty and will make your life miserable. I remember making a decision to get out while I was ahead and got a job on campus as a short order chef. Once I graduated with a degree, I had no problem getting a job that could pay the bills and live a comfortable lifestyle. I hope this may bring in some perspective for you folks.

    As for my advice, stay low while you are still in. Seek a way out (of the selling aspect atleast) and a way to get by until you can finish school. Once you have that diploma, the world is your oyster.

    Move to california and sell weed. State law says its legal and all you have to do is get a 215 card. You can obtain one as easily as saying you have a backache and you would like to be prescribed medical marijuana. This allows you to legally grow and possess marijuana with no penalty. although federal law still prohibits marijuana since there is a conflict of law you wouldn't suffer any charges if you got caught, if anything you'd have to throw everything out and start over somewhere else.

    sounds good to me! Just stay away from real drugs like heroin and cocaine and never experiment with them either. Marijuana is gods gift to earth and it is NATURAL and the only reason its illegal is because the money cant make money off of it unless its by criminilizing it. Along with that reason comes the bullshit stigma they are advertising to go along with making it a crime. Like all these pot commercials saying that smoking weed is giving up your personal freedom when really marijuana is all about liberation and being free and being an individual and finding out who you are and exploring new creative things!! Marijuana also is the most medically useful drugs with NO harmful side effects! marijuana was made out to be harmful so the government looks good throwing people in jail for it!! people are blind!!! Marijuana is SCIENTIFICALLY proven to be LESS HARMFUL then ASPIRIN!! It is simply not toxic enough to kill you and does not cause any cancer. If anything marijuana is useful to cancer patients by allowing them to have an appetite and curing their nausia from the radiation treatment. it also cures glaucoma, schizophrenia, depression, and various other conditions on top of it being a great pain killer. DO NOT JUDGE THAT WHICH GROWS ON GODS GREEN EARTH. EVERYTHING ON EARTH IS A PART OF OUR WORLD AND CONNECTS TO US IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM NO MATTER WHAT AND IT DOES NOTHING BUT GOOD.

    you know... (since I know this is hypothetical)

    I worked in fast food for a while. I honestly remember thinking during a horrible lunch rush "I'm going through HELL for six bucks an hour. WHY am I not selling drugs?"

    So... I really have no answer for you, aside from the obvious jailtime thing... but that's only if you get caught.

    Before the rest of you take this any more out of proportion and start making assumptions, and also for future users who wish to give an answer... this is a completely hypothetical situation based on my experiences from working with organizations that promote DRUG CONTROL! I just thought it would make for an interesting debate/discussion on AnswerBag when I first joined... So please don't assume that I am, personally, asking you to convince me to stop selling drugs. Do I look that stupid? Thank you. :)

    What do you need money for? You're a teenager - haven't you got someone putting a roof over your head, food in your stomach, and clothes on your back?

    Please tell me this isn't so you can get cool sneakers or an ipod or some other nonsense. Kid, those are non-essentials. If you're willing to risk your future on a pair of shoes, you're a moron and you deserve what you get.

    If you wait a few years, you can get a real job and have plenty more money without having to hustle and risk injury and jail. If you get busted selling, you may not be able to get a legit job down the road, and you'll be in this same boat for the rest of your life.

    Don't be stupid.

During the past 2 years, 1 son, 3 cousins and 1 son in law,were all shot, the most recent was 2 weeks ago, ages from 13 to 22 years old.. AT the funeral home for one of the cousins a few months back, their grandmother was speaking to me about their activities.
    >STERN, UNFORGIVING VOICE, SHE SAYS " I KEEP TELLEN THESE KIDS.. YOU LIVE BY THE SWORD....YOU DIE BY THE SWORD.." THEY GOT WHAT THEY GOT BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING"".. grandma might be old , but she knows whats going on ..and SHE'S still ALIVE>

    It' your life. If you want to start off your early adulthood in the slammer that's your business. Besides, you are a teen, WHY is that the only way you can make enough money. Do you have a mortgage to pay? You can do what 90% of other teens do and work in a fast food restaurant, or grocery store, or pet sitting ( I know someone who made $30K last year just from walking dogs) There are MANY things you can do. There is not one restaurant in my town center that doesn't have a "help wanted" sign - and they are all jobs that tend to hire teens. If you insist on continuing to break the law by selling drugs and possibly harming others, when you have so many other alternatives, than I'm afraid to say you deserve to spend time behind bars.

    I would tell you that it's not a good idea do sell drugs seeing how you can get shot or die doing so. If your only a teen you dont really need money stay to school and get good grades. Get involved in sports or something to keep you company. If you need a little money get a job that you only work 2 to 3 days a week and your set. Get out of selling drugs before it is to late and your dead nothing speaks greater then that. lETS SEE MONEY OR LIFE.

    I hope this is a hypothetical question because people who sell drugs are the lowest form of s**t on this planet. Effectively drug dealers are mass murderers. So I would try to appeal to your conscience and convince you that you wouldn't want to be responsible for the deaths of so many other people.

    You are on a dead end street. Your life will go more and more downhill until you lose not only all of your possessions your friends and your family. You will go to jail several times owe money to lawyers that you can not pay, you will not be able to travel to other countries. You will have no-one that you can trust. You will use and become addicted and if you don't die from your addiction you will wish you were dead. You will ruin your liver your kidneys and your appearance. You will ruin your lungs. To keep your habit going you will shoplift, steal from everyone you know, it will become an addiction too. Your standing with God will be bad so you will also have no hope of a future. Why put yourself through all that by starting. Success in life would be defined as one who stays away from drugs and never gets drunk and has a good marriage, a good job, a family, good neighbors and a relationship with Jehovah the true God.

    Imagine being in your 50s and seeing the outside of a prison gate for the first time in years! You are so scared of the outside world, you can't face it so you lock yourself away in a basic flat, with second hand furniture. You live a basic existance, terrified every day. You are hounded out by bad acquantances and make poor judgements. You end up locked up again where you are never again to be free. You die, cold and alone in a prison cell. Your funeral is simple, no one attends, no one knows you or cares. Your grave lies overgrown with weeds, neglected, uncared for. You have no gravestone and people walk quickly past and don't even notice, only they comment how messy the place looks. You lie there alone, unknown as you were in life!

    IF you want to avoid this, stop selling drugs now or this is your future!

    Share your answer...To all the mother fuckers who are quick to judge this kid (brian 1)you should fucking kill yourself. There will allways be drugs and their allways be junkies and their will be people willing to risk it all for money. Some will die, some will go to jail and have unspeakable things happen to them, and some will get rich. Now just cause you bitch ass mother fuckers don't have the balls or brains to make easy money, how dare you insult and put down se one who desires more than an "HONEST" nine to five minnimum wage. Fuck you mother fuckers, die slow! And don't talk about shit you've only watched in movies and shit that your "friends" have expierienced. I am typing this on my iPhone sitting on a roof top pool in Santiago chile on vacation payed for with drug money. So all you good to do bitches can suck a dick and die.

    Kid if you play your cards right you can get rich one slip and your done don't sell dope to stuip ass kids who will snitch when they get caught. When you get money save it till you can buy an once or more. Then start selling to small dealers or middle men. Then from their keep working your way up till your the wholesalers supplier. Rennet never burn people cause they won't become regular customers, don't buy a gun unless you are willing to use it, a most importantly don't run your mouth, don't start buying cars, rolex's, and flashy shit. Stay away from party drugs like extasy cause it has an irregular demand. Stick with the basics weed and coke. Aviod crack, meth, herion and shit like that because there's alot more violent crime surronding those.
    Last but not least make sure your profit margin on each and every sale is worth it. For example if you can get an oz of weed for 200 don't you dare sell it for less than 250, better yet sell to half oz for 150 each. And it's alot simpler to not use the drugs you are selling because you won't be tempted and you will be able to keep your mind on the money and not getting caught good luck mother fucker.

    Sell drugs, thats the point right? The government would't have made drugs illegal if they didn't want them to be profitable so some kid like you will push it on some other kid. Make your money while you can and don't get caught, people have the right to decide to do drugs or not and the consequences to using drugs is not the person who sells them.

    Do you sell them to your siblings? How young are your victims? How proud are you of what you do? Money seems to be so important to you that you are willing to "sell" harm to others..how proud are you that you have a price..harming others to make a few bucks. :( Your family must be extremely proud of you.."my son the dope dealer"..wonderful! "let me tell you about how much money my kid made the other day selling drugs/dope/crack/smack". You will provide an endless amount of discussion for your proud family. :(

    Well, if you were a male, I would ask you if your enjoyed rough anal sex without lubricant because that is what you will get in prison.

    Additional and Final Thoughts

    1) You said "drugs" you did not say Marijuana although that is an illegal drug.
    2) You are already involved in this activity so it is not "hypothetical", it
    is real.
    3) You are here to rally support for your troubled and guilty conscience and
    you aren't going to get any sympathy or support from me.
    4) There are plenty of ways to support yourself and your education that are not
    illegal and lead to the downfall of others.
    5) Think of how expensive a lawyer can be when you get arrested and have a record
    because you have graduated to selling more than pot.
    6) As I said, I hope you don't mind taking up the ass from a big angry cell mate.

    I have worked with teens that abused drugs for many years in high performance centers like the Utah drug rehab clinic and found that no matter whet you say to a person that is selling, and 90% of the also abuse, to convince them to give it up. It all a matter of education. If you grew up knowing that it's a bad thing, you will probably not do it. This is my conclusion after 30 yrs of working with drug addicts!

    do you have good parents?
    do they love you?
    are you a runaway?
    what kinda food do you like?
    i'll keep you talking for a long time...
    then i'll ask if you really want to sell drugs. if you do it's ok. but you don't have to. there is help out there for kids stuck on drugs. and it's ok to accept help.

    If you just got to sell dope... move to a black county that borders a white county. Meet the sheriff, shake hands with him. Donate $750- 1,000 dollars to his re-election campaign and let him know to call you when he needs anything. Now... simply build your business in your black county selling primarily to the white kids from the adjacent county. Your sheriff will protect you as long as you are low profile and you avoid the city where he has no jurisdiction. Never drive flashy cars, and put the word out that you draw a military disability check and a regular disability check as those can equal 5,000 a month and explain why all the broads want a piece of your ass. As you get wealthy off your illegal enterprise... find ways to give back to society. Build a new baseball park or something... if you don't karma will bite you in the a$$.
