You know its bad when dude casually drops that he's a drug dealer and we all collectively shrug, like yeah sounds about right.

We have all been conditioned by the media to think of drug dealers as bad people, but if you aren't violent and only selling to consenting adults there is nothing inherently wrong or evil about it, other than braking the law. You are providing a valuable service to your community, like every other job.

It does depend on the drugs though. If you’re shotting crack and heroin to your community then you’re just a predator preying on your own people.

Yeah, also. if it's the illegal kind there's a huge price payed in blood in the countries that manufacture and transport them.

The war on drugs sucks but it's a fact that buying illegal drugs fuels an industry of violence.
