Who cares about parties when you can't buy food.

The only drug dealers not making any money are the ones that are born into poverty and have to come up with no money from the street level. Once you can put together at least a few thousand for a re-up you will make more than minimum wage, and you can double your money in a week or two with cocaine and harder drugs. It's easy to make 2k a week selling just eight balls and grams of cocaine if you know the right people on both ends of the equation. But of course it's only easy until you get raided or someone else decides to test you! The cops will rob you too in the US. One friend lost two lbs of weed and another got jacked a few times for larger amounts of coke by the police. It's a real calamity and drug legalization is the only solution.

  If your making 2k a week selling blow, but still risking robberies or cops that's an issue. That's when its time to move on to having the less than minimum wage low level guys working for you. If you are buying weight and handling re-ups then your already handling back end. Being a full stack drug dealer is not a long term proposition. If your doing 2k a week profit your moving a couple ounces of coke and ideally would have a couple cheap low level guys and a middle man that deals with them. The goal would be to just supply those middle men, but if your selling eight balls that probably is already the case. The real profit in cocaine is at the very low level where a $150 8-ball, gets cut to become 8 $50 grams, which turns into 6, $20 bags, that finally makes 10 $5 pieces of crack. If you control that entire operation and can go straight from the 8 ball to crack pieces your looking at greater than a 20x profit margin. Its going to require labor to cook and piece it out all day though. Because the only way you can sell those $5 pieces is to have a 24/7 presence on the street to serve the crack heads that successfully beg $5.

You can make 30-50% net margin selling weed to end users, and 10-25% selling pounds to dealers (in black market states). Your overhead is time, gas, and plastic bags. There’s plenty of money to be made with low risk (don’t sell cocaine if you don’t want to have to carry a gun)

  Yep, best bet is to check your state's weed laws and stay under an amount where the penalty is not too severe. If you have no priors and get caught with less than 1-2 lbs in a lot of states, any felony possession charges will be cleared after serving a year on probation. Whatever you are doing, make sure that you can do the time you might get and don't panic when you get raided.
