      I had a legitimate talk about doing this with my girlfriend. As much as I hate how sketchy it is, it still just seems sooo tempting.

        But is it worse than tricking other people to work 40+ hours a week doing whatever you say and giving you most of the value they create? Because that’s the other option.

        Plus if you buy a bunch of houses you can get them to give back most of the money you pay them.

    • In comic, dystopian reality, selling drugs (really just weed) was how I graduated college debt-free, and graduating without debt was the only way I could take out/afford a loan for a house.

      So apparently, it’s true what they say, whether planting or selling trees, the best time to do it was 10 years ago. The second best time is now! (Except don’t)

            And then get to sell the stamps you made yourself and nobody knows if you fly or cry, when taking it? You better already have a trusted distributor, already in the game, waiting. Probably you should not distribute it anywhere to close to home. You’ll want to have any issues related to it, to exist preferably in another universe.

            There are many more things to consider and plan beforehand, unless the plan is not to sell drugs.

            I think I remember reading there’s a legit tek somewhere out there; the catch is that there are also a lot of fake teks, either because they’re supposed to be satire, or because someone’s trying to look good on a random forum and they know no one will actually try it due to equipment requirements. Additionally, I think you can technically do it with stuff at home, but the quality and yield would probably be shit, which is something you don’t want to fuck with when it comes to ergot.

      Not too far from reality where I live. One dude already is doing time because he was blatantly dropping cash payments on things like a HOUSE and multiple cars.

      The feds had a FIELD DAY with him.

      Damn I just thought about it and the only home owner friend I have that isn’t a drug dealer, is a cop.

      I think you’re on to something.

      My guy sold weed until he owned a house then had a kid. He figured he pressed his luck long enough. He also had an effective laundry.
