Is Drug Dealing Profitable?
Facts on Dealing Drugs
Movies have often portrayed drug dealers as savvy, suave characters who live the fast life, surrounded by expensive cars, beautiful women, and luxurious homes. They are on top of their game, and have all their bases covered.
How about a little reality check here?
Have you ever noticed on TV how broke some drug dealers actually appear?
“The COPS TV show often features an army of police charging into the house where the dealer lives,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia. “The house usually does not have many people in it – not enough to warrant a whole platoon barging in.
“There are often children, enveloped in squalor, with a bleary eyed dealer-father staggering in front of the camera to be arrested.
“The dealer was probably lured into thinking he could make big money by dealing, but at least the dealers we see on TV aren’t making the big bucks.
“There is always someone at the bottom of the money chain, making pennies on the dollar compared to their up-line’s take. Hopefully some big guys get arrested, but we don’t see it.
“Whether it is crack cocaine, pot or heroin – the risks are the same.
“Someone who sells drugs is putting their whole future on the line. In addition to stunting their education and careers, they risk losing everything to jail and an indelible record, which limits career opportunity.
“If they are dealing to feed their own drug addiction, the situation is even worse.
“Anyone alive deserves better than this.”
If you know someone needs drug treatment and is going down a wrong path, get them into effective drug treatment.
