im 17, and i have a lot of interests and many possibilities ahead of me, but i have yet to find a career choice that really excites me. office jobs, 9-5's, blue-collar, money, doctor, lawyer, engineer, none of that shit really excites me. the stuff i like is either impossible, nearly impossible, or pays like shit, such as: fighter pilot, travel writer, porn star, actor, skydiving instructor. producing drugs im sure can bring in enough money to make a decent living, and is a real possibility. im certainly smart enough to learn whatever i need to learn to do it right. i have a particular interest in growing mushrooms and pot, and maybe producing LSD, etc. I think my chances of getting murdered are much lower if you dont deal with addictive substances. someone might say to me, if i have an interest in these sorts of things, why dont i just become a chemist/biologist? i could make even more money, legally. but for some reason the chemistry and biology is only interesting in the context of producing drugs that would have a real affect on my income and life. i also love the idea of independence and flexibility that would be allowed by producing drugs. so i guess ive got a few questions. first of all, am i totally wack for thinking that this is a plausible scenario? or maybe i am sure to be caught. or maybe i can never lead a normal life once i get heavily involved with illegal activities. if its not totally insane to be intrigued, what about some advice? im going to college soon, and i plan to take a plethora of courses in many fields, because my interests are so diverse. what courses/fields specifically might be most beneficial if i wanted to eventually produce drugs? any other random thoughts on the subject?
Selling drugs is really not something you want to be doing to support yourself. At some point it will most likely go bad. "I think my chances of getting murdered are much lower if you dont deal with addictive substances." Then you're not going to bring in the type of profit you need.
It certainly is a very plausible way to bring in money. I can't deny that I think about it myself. Something about creating drugs in a clandestine lab and selling them is just appealing. But I wouldn't base my college degree on it. If you are truly serious about it, I would make it a part-time thing. Definitely not full-time. Take some classes in college that will further your understanding of chemicals, like organic chemistry...stuff like that. But also major in whatever it is that you want to do for your sole income. See what I'm saying? And be smart. Growing marijuana is too risky, in my opinion. And it's plentiful enough. The only things worthwhile to make would be LSD and other rare drugs. Porn star? Nice.
There's some fool proof methods of selling drugs. If you think about it logically, anyway. But even then, something can always go wrong. Growing in your house hold.. for example, is probably best if you are growing in your own house. Growing Marijuana indoors I guess is way better for potency, that way you can be producing dro and what not. But if not, try a fenced in back yard. I mean I've seen my dad just randomly plant marijuana seeds and it surprisingly worked out. The reason why I say grow at your own house because if you live in an apartment or duplex, like my family use too, the land lord stops by sometimes out of no where and having that shit in the open or even in a closet can get you busted. I think growing mushrooms could be extremely profitable, way better than marijuana in my opinion but nowhere as good as a field full of marijuana plants. Less risky, you don't get a staggering electricity bill, and if you choose to grow in exponential amounts you could probably rack in a shit load of money. 1 250ml Cake = 1/8th of an Oz of mushrooms + dried usually. And 1/8th around here is 35 bucks, 40 bucks when in demand. A few years back they were 20 bucks per 8th but i dont know what happened. So if you are producing full oz's, or even pounds, that's 1000s of dollars. But remember, there is no business without customers. You need connections, the more you know them the better I guess. I have a few people I could always throw some shit and then have them have it all sold for me in a few days, aslong as I cut them something. If you want to be dealing drugs in the millions of dollar range I guess that's when it comes to the addictive substances, opiates. I don't know how them two major guys who got busted in the LSD business, but they themselves were producing several hundred millions of dollars in LSD per week I guess, and that's not even a lot of LSD.. size wise anyway. Most of the time when somebody comes around here asking how to make LSD they get ridiculed, mocked, etc. But it's because of the difficulty in producing it.. I mean you'd probably need a damn fine degree in 'organic chemistry' and be living in a place where the labs are fully hooked up. You need some hardcore chemicals to start with that shit, chemicals that cost thousands themselves, and even still are very watched by the government. And if you expect to be in a non hostile environment entirely throughout your drug producing days, that'd probably be wrong. Things can get pretty nasty, and even if they aren't addictive drugs your life can get pretty based around drugs in general pretty quick. But that's up to you to decide whether its bad or not.
I have had the exact same dream! Must be a teenage thing... But the only idea that I foresaw as something plausible(I don't want to be incarcerated/shot) is to have like an island resort type thing in the Caribbean where I'll grow pot and create strains and shit. I could also grow opium and shrooms as well. It would be like a getaway type place for your more affluent drug user. Just a simple, down to earth hotel(or cottages would be even cooler) where you can smoke all the dirt cheap pot you could want on a quiet peaceful beach, without any hassle with cops and sketchy dealers. Sigh. One day.
Incidentally, I have the same dream as well. 9-5ism does not appeal to me. Birds of a feather, I guess. I was browsing around deoxy.org (I find the conspiracy theory stuff thought provoking, even though it's crazy) and I stumbled across a really interesting thought. The writer claimed that one reason governments were particularly eager to suppress black market LSD is because it's one of the most compact forms of wealth in existence. A vial full of pure LSD crystal is worth more than the GNP of some small nations, and yet you can carry it over a border in your pocket...
That may be true but LSD is not a lucrative drug. You have to have some serious connections to make good money form LSD alone. Profitable drugs are: Weed, Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine and in a lot of places Psychedelic Mushrooms can make you good money. Ecstacy work too but is harder to produce. When you start selling to make big money, you start growing. When you start growing, you're getting into the red zone. You can only keep a weed growing operation or meth lab under wraps for so long. Selling weed will always be profitable and is probably your best bet with a combination of money and safety (and avoiding the law). I highly suggest you get a good legal job and do this on the side. No one has ever been able to support themselves on selling drugs alone without getting caught somewhere down the line as far as I know. Not on their own, without an organization or a bunch of friends. You'd also need a fake business, paperwork to go with it, and blah blah blah if you don't want to attract attention from the government.
I think we all have that same dream. SWIM made acid as he was in university getting some degrees, job he has now involves no drugs or degrees. Making drugs is fine to live on, but dont live your life doing it. Ive looked at the possibilty of making cid, i have a smart friend capable of helping, its just the courage to actually get the whole thing together. All you can really do is grow mass amounts of dope, maybe start selling cid, save the bulk of the money for a rainy day, until you meet the right people or find the right stuff.
Producing some drugs would be fun, kind of like a hobby. If you spent all day making drugs you would wind up with more drugs than you can sell, or if by chance you can sell them all, you would become a drug lord which I can imagine would get dangerous. Marijuana and mushrooms grow by themselves, other drugs reqire more attention to detail, but you still dont need all day to make them. So my advice would be to get a proper job and keep drug making as a hobby. Also a job would be good to fall back on if your plans dont work out.
I agree that growing/synthesizing drugs is a fun and rewarding experience. I enjoy caring for things (animals and plants) and if the plant I'm raising is psychoactive, then it's all the better! I'm growing mushrooms right now and am enjoying the experience of having grown them from spores. I'm looking forward to the day I can harvest them, having never done 'shrooms before. =P
swoosh most indoor grow weed is weaker in potency then outdoors, that bullshit about indoor is 7 times stronger or whatever is crap. people burn the fuck outta there weed indoors tryin to get it to grow as big and as quick as possible. whilst adding harmful chemicles to bulk up and tighten the weight and size of there buds. outdoor skunk is the only way to really smoke weed and anybody who thinks indoor weed is better doesnt know shit. indo gives ya a head ache and isnt nearly as good a feelin while stoned as it is with outdoors. of course you get the occasional good indo weed that has been grown properly and still is alright but no where near outdoor still 5 or 6 years back nearly everything where i live was outdoor now we got all this filthy hydro crap everywhere thats burn out with hardly any THC left. if you grew the same strain of weed, one indoor and one outdoor the outdoor would be a million times better then the indo and without all the crappy shit people growin it put in it just thought id clear that up PEACE!
A good indoor grow is going to be better than a good outdoor grow. Sounds like the indoor growers in your area just suck at growing bud.
maybe in the amount your going to get in the end but the quality of the actual bud to smoke will always be better with outdoor. ive seen perfectly grown indoor weed then never even compares to outdoor skunk ive smoked. you can have your opinion but outdoor has it all over indo. any hippy from back in the 60s will tell you the same..
As far as courses go the only ones that would be of any use to you in relation to the drugs industry are chemistry and a business course, maybe psychology or medicine aswell. A few other things to remember is that you would be in a high risk business. If you don't think you would be able to cope with being sent to prison or having to deal with people capable of murder then do something else, because thats the reality. If you want to earn a decent living doing it you are going to have to deal in large quantities and so are going to have to deal with hard people. Remember that nobody wants to go to prison and that everyone will sell everyone else out in the blink of an eye to save themselves. Your customers will give you up without giving it a second thought. Remember also that people don't just sell out those higher up the food chain. Large dealers are able to operate despite the fact that everybody knows they are drug dealers because they have arrangments with the police. They give the cops thier customers on a frequent basis and so the cops turn the blind eye. The dealers happy because he doesn't go to prison and the cops are happy because they have lots of arrests to go on their records and so get promotions when they are up for them. Remember that you are breaking the law and so you can't turn to the law for help should things not go your way. If you are dealing in large quantities the reality is that on occassion you will have to give credit to people. If they then can't come up with the money or just refuse to pay you can't take them to court. You will have to threaten them and if they still don't pay you will have to do something horrible to them, if you don't you will lose all credibility and current and future customers aswell as rival dealers will just rip you off for everything you have. Also remember that if you do do something horrible to someone then they are unlikely to forget it and if they get the oppertunity for revenge they will take it. Expect to make lots and lots of enemies. Basically, trust no one, except the possibility you might have to go to prison, do horrible things and have horrible things done to you. If you become established and make yourself and important link in a chain then you lose the ability to stop on a whim without instantly making lots of enemies, and be prepared to work alot longer and harder than you would have to in a normal job, the myth of dealers making "easy money" is bullshit.
There really isn't that much money in selling weed unless you're moving pounds and pounds at a time....
yep. im working on growing some shrooms right now, although i wont be able to make more then for personal use only. it will be a good learning experience though, and could potentially lead to bigger and better things once i get my own place.
