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 shorting crack and heroin to your community then you’re just a predator preying on your own people.

There are only two industries that call their customers 'users'...

I work in pharmacy and casually joke about being a legal drug dealer all of the time.

Not all drugs are street drugs!

Hey, its a new legal industry. And selling drugs lets me sleep much better at night compared to having to pretend whatever new bullshit they are pushing is not terrible.
