Being a drug dealer; not the best choice

For the average crystal meth dealer, it can be a dangerous world where everyone is only looking out for themselves and not their fellow meth dealing friends. Drug dealers will do almost anything to get their meth so they can distribute it, and because of this, they must take the appropriate action to make sure it is safe until the time of sale.

We have found meth in toolboxes, safes, under mattresses, inside the walls of a house, in the refrigerator, inside deflated balloons hidden in people’s mouths and other areas of the body that I won’t mention. We have found it buried in the ground, hidden inside computers, flashlights, cigarette packs, and various places in cars.

Meth dealers are very dedicated sales people who will do almost anything to keep from getting caught and in many cases, we have found they are willing to eat their own product to keep us from getting it. Of course, it is a common instinct for most people to eat a dangerous substance when there is a possibility they could lose it.

Because of the nature of drug dealing and the unpleasant side effects of going to jail, eating meth while running from the cops and always being paranoid that you are being followed, there is always a shortage in this line of work. There are also many life style changes that must be made for those wishing to pursue this career path.

Some of the requirements include obtaining a guard dog, posting no trespassing signs on your front door, covering all windows with newspapers or blankets and in many cases installing a video surveillance system to help guard against other drug dealers who may try to take your meth before you can sell it.

You must be willing to become very paranoid by looking through the peep hole in your window every time you hear a car drive by, and you must have enough money to buy more meth every time you hear a siren and flush your current supply down the toilet because you thought the cops may be getting ready to raid your house.

We once kicked in the door to a drug house and found a drug dealer who was very upset with himself because he had flushed all his meth down the drain three times in the past thinking we were coming. But the one time he didn’t flush, was the time we did. You must be willing to get up at 3 a.m. and clean your house, and you must be willing to take junk in trade instead of cash (most of your customers have no jobs and are broke).

If you are going to be a drug dealer, make sure you know what you are really getting into and make sure this is the life style you want to choose. Most of your “friends” will turn on you to save themselves, and the life of a drug dealer will not be everything you thought it would be when you are eating ham and beans in a jail cell and watching the weather channel for your entertainment.

The quick money you were proud to make will be confiscated and the record you end up with won’t be the kind of record you were hoping to achieve in life. If you’re thinking about selling drugs, try getting a job and making money the honest way first. You might be surprised how much you like it when you don’t have to be paranoid all the time and you won’t have to sleep with one eye open, wondering if your house will be the next stop of the drug task force. After all, if you are selling drugs, you know we will be coming sometime; the only question is when.
