I think you misread me. Smoking marijuana is committing a crime that one can't retire on (it's not even profitable, which doesn't really speak to whether it's a good idea but certainly means its not in line with the mother's advice). A bank robbery, at a large enough scale and if successful, could easily provide enough money to retire in some poorer non-extradition countries - but the attempt is almost certainly a worse idea than smoking marijuana with friends.
