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.
A lot of drugs are very addictive and ruin people's lives. I'm well aware a lot of lives were ruined by the stigma attached to to drugs, but to swing from they are evil criminal people to just equating drug dealing with every other job is insane to me.
Of course, it goes against all values that you were taught.
You have no idea how many of my closest friends have been to jail for drugs. I think that is a problem with the system, but im not going to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and act like we were being upstanding citizens.
Getting people addicted to things is bad. It doesn't matter if you are a drug dealer, a casino, or a social media app.
People are not so much harmed by most drugs but by the circumstances. It's not worth talking about dealers as long as society is cruel to the point of people needing an escape.
